pedals
knee levers

The "D" (RKR) knee lever is lockable, and changes the tuning from E9 to B6. Red entries raise pitch, blue entries lower pitch.
Raises and lowers are shown in half-steps (i.e., 1 = half step, 2 = full step).

Note 1: "Copedent" stands for CHord PEDal arrangemENT.
Note 2: Tuned with RKR held to bring string 4 back to an E.
Note 3: Used only in conjunction with the A, C, or 7th pedals.
