If I play strings 456 and press my Franklin pedal and lower my e to db with my e lever what chord will I get. Thank you!

The most important 3 notes of a B7 chord.
after all, it has the notes in the same relationship as strings 4, 5, and 6 with the F lever

it always amazes me how a chord sounds by the company it keeps. play a c7 after a g and it sounds major or bluesy. play it with a d and it soulds like a minor chord. screws with my mind.

I try not to be, Tony Winking
I just looked at the notes involved, D#, A and F#, and tried to think what else they could do as a triad. Other than 5, b7 and 3, I couldn't think of anything. An F7b9?
Having that tritone in there kind of limits your options.

It gives you a diminished triad, so it could be considered to be 3/4 of a diminished 7th, repeating every three frets.

D# F# A open

F# A C third fret

A C Eb sixth fret

C Eb Gb ninth fret
