Who said playing scales can't be fun?

I’m thinking about getting into U12. Do y’all roll with the standard Newman universal copedent? With the Day setup? And no LKR? My last guitar was an Emmons setup on the ABC pedals, but I’m out of practice and trying to figure out (if I go U12) which copedent I’d commit to. Seems like just getting all the Newman books and sticking with his copedent might be the simplest? Do people do the Newman universal but with ABC in the Emmons order?

Day makes huge sense on a uni, because the A pedal has some use in the B6 tuning while the C doesn't.

I don't follow Newman exactly, but lowering Es on RKR is a no-brainer to me.
