WTB 2 SHO-BUD NARROW PEDALS
Posted: Wed Nov 03, 2010 12:39 pmI will be trading my beautifull ZB SD10 next week for a very nice Bud PRO 1 and i would like try and get two more pedals on so i can set the steel up with a semi universal tuning :ie i want to raise the 5&6 strings up to get the maj 7th with the E`s lowered,and raise the 4th string up and lower it back to E,and also lower the 8th string down to D to give me a 9th chord again with the E`s down,i would prefer Bud pedals but any will do because i can get them machined to fit and look the part,any help would be fantastic.

the reason i don`t wan`t to get the pedals made from s cratch is the price,he says if i gave him one of the original pedals to fabricate from a sollid ingot of ally and they would cost between £35/40 each, i already have the parts to do the underside,so i thought i would try and find two pedals that i could use.As far as the set up if you play C6th the 6 th pedal will give you a 9 chord and the 7th pedal will give you a maj 7th,so if i lower the two E`s on the E9th tuninig and raise the 5 and 6 string on pedal 4 that will give me a maj 7th on the fret i am playing at,if i keep the E`s lowered and raise the 4 string and lower the 8 the 8th string ,then press the pedal pulling the 4th E`String up up to F# and then lower it back to E on the E`s lower knee lever then take 8 th string down to D still with the E`s lowered it will give a 9th chord great for swing ,BLUES and R&R,but just to add there is no open 9th D string, i will get that with a knee lever,the lower B is the 9th string now ,i will raise the G# 3 times on the B pedal 3/6/10 strings.Hope you can understand what i have tried to explain.
