Did you try a Search in the archives? I think there was quite a bit posted in the past.

This pedal (The Frank pedal) is used in the pedals down position all the time.Since John used the key of D.Go to the 5th fret.Play strings 4,5,and 6.A & B pedals down.Release them and engauge the Frank pedal and then press A&B again.You can also use strings 4,6, and 10 (if) you're lower 10 a full step which is the full Franklin 4th pedal change.

Another really easy example.10th fret,strings 3,4,and 5.B&C pedalsdown release them hit the Frank pedal release it let 3,4,and 5 ring no pedals.

The Franklin pedal works well with the knee lever that lowers the E's to Eb.

This is just the tip of the iceburg.As a matter of fact if you use Pauls E9 copendent you can mix it with any knee lever you have.Hope this helps get you started..............bb

Try these licks in A. X will be the PF pedal.

4)__5------------5
5)__5a-5-5x-5-5a-5
6)__5b-5-5x-5-5b-5

4)__12-------12
5)__12a--12--12x

4)__10L--------------------10L
5)__10a--10--10x--10--10a--10
6)__10b--10--10x--10--10b--10b

1)____5g--5_____________________
2)____________________________
3)__5_________________________
4)____________5-------------5
5)_______________5--5x------5
6)______________________5x--5

The last one I heard Mike Johnson use. The g
lever raises the first string a whole tone.
I hope this helped.

Thanks for all the help guys. I'll try these changes. Paul Franklin has responded to this in the "Pedal Steel" section of the forum. Mr. Emmons also has a response in there. Thanks again guys.
