P6 is tuned while RKR is engaged.
(That is, Pedal 6 is used with RKR and raises the Eb on string 4 back to E.)
LKV is extra long so you can use it with all pedals easily.
LKR is split to allow you to get G on string 6 using P2 in combination.
LKR is placed away from the player toward the front so there is no obstruction.
The 6th-type sound is achieved by lowering strings 2, 4, and 8 (RKR).

Explanation of Knee Lever Abbreviations:

LKL = "Left Kick Left"
LKV = "Left Kick Vertical"
LKR = "Left Kick Right"
RKL = "Right Kick Left"
RKR = "Right Kick Right"
