Personal aspects of PSG setup other than copedent

[Sam Inglis]

I've spent quite a bit of time tinkering with my steel instead of playing it this week, and it's surprising how much a difference apparently small aspects of setup can make. I'd love to know what others' preferences are regarding things like knee lever angle and spacing.

Do you make the gap between LKL and LKR, or RKL and RKR, as narrow as possible to fit your knee, or do you allow more room?

Do you like all the pedals to be at the same height, or do you stagger them slightly so that the B pedal is a touch lower?

Do you have the pedals set up as low as possible, so that they're almost on the floor when pressed, or do like them higher?

Do you have your knees bent at a right angle, or are they straighter?

And are there 'right' answers to any of these questions, or is it all just personal preference?

I like to have LKR and LKL as close to my knee as possible. I like it to feel like I'm just moving my knee, not reaching for a lever. B pedal is lower than A & C. My pedals are pretty low but not so low they hit the floor when pressed. Knees are bent at a right angle.

Dittos!

Also, I like to have the pulls on each pedal (and knee-lever) start and stop at the same time. Timing pulls can be relatively easy and make playing much more enjoyable.

I'm easily distracted (Squirrel!). The fewer distractions, while playing, the better.

Totally tweaked out for comfort and ease.
