Sometimes Buddy raised the 6th string E to F on P4 instead of the the standard A to B changes. Many D-10s do not include the left knee levers, but Buddy’s configuration of them is considered to be “the standard”. When he changed his 1st string from G to D, legions of players and builders followed his lead. (Bob White is credited with the standard P7 changes.)īy the 1970’s, most D-10 steel guitars had pedals 4 through 8 and RKL set up exactly like Buddy’s. He specified the changes of the 8th pedal to reflect Byrd’s C6/A7 tuning, and the 5th and 6th pedals to get the most common bar slants heard in Byrd’s playing. A Jerry Byrd disciple, Buddy instructed Shot Jackson to put a C6th tuning on the back neck of his guitar. MSA drilled a hole in most all of their pedal bars (on their 1970's and '80s guitars) to accommodate the MSA brand of volume pedal.Buddy Emmons is largely responsible for the design of the C6th copedent. The attachment bracket you mention is not how this pedal is mounted to the pedal bar. P.S.: Paul, just as I posted the above, I discovered that you had posted. Like I said, I'll have to take a picture of this unit unless someone knows the brand of pedal.Tom The guitar and pedal can then be moved about without taking the pedal from the guitar (just like other pedal brackets permit). Following this attachment, the pedal is lowered and rests against the bracket (slick!). The pedal has to be lifted at an angle for attaching the "fish hook" to a horizontal pin mounted in the bracket. The pedal's mounting bracket is then mounted to the bottom edge of the pedal bar where a couple of holes must be drilled into it. The front end of the pedal is made like a fish hook, with the "barb" pointing skyward. Most all of the pedal (base and treadle) are castings. I'm going to have to take a picture of this puppy and post it. That being what you say, then this isn't an Emmons' volume pedal my mistake. Last edited by Tom Bradshaw on 7:39 am edited 1 time in total I plan to sell both pedals when I get them polished up, but suspect if I can't find the bracket that one of them needs, it will be a worthless accessory!. If I'm not clear, I'll figure out a way to take a picture of the bracket I want (since I have two of these pedals and one has the bracket with it). Sounds like a push pull, has original setup.

Features 4 pedals and 4 knee levers and has an Emmons setup. I suspect that owners of these pedals know what I'm talking about. Push pull from the 70's, has been converted to an SD10. If anyone knows where such a bracket can be purchased, please alert me. The country-music star and steel guitarists new album features Merle Haggard and Buck Owens covers. Without that mounting bracket, the pedal is worthless. Ray Price & the Cherokee Cowboys at the old Austin Opry House in 1990, featuring Buddy Emmons, Darrell McCall, Buddy Spicher, Moises Blondie Calderonand Jo. The bracket itself is a rather heavy piece of aluminum extrusion that is mounted to the pedal bar by a couple of screws. This pedal is a casting that has a "hook" on the front end that clips to this bracket. I need to locate the bracket that is mounted to the pedal bar, then allows the pedal to be mounted to it. I have a nice volume pedal that I think was one made by the Emmons' Company back when Ron Lashley was building these pedals.
