Hey guys. I got this Franklin stereo Volume pedal from a fellow forum member and now I have to figure out how to mount it to my Emmons. The pedal looks like it could be a "drop pin" style if I had some additional parts maybe? Any body have one that looks like this mounted to an emmons?

Thanks

I have the same pedal.If your pedal bar doesn't have a hole in it and two pieces of metal to set the VP on
then you have two choices.Drill a hole in the pedal and call Emmons Guitar Co and get the two small strips of metal or they might make a bracket to sit on your pedal bar that will except your VP.This is a very good pedal and I have had mine for 20+yrs.If it were me I would send the pedal bar to one of the steel manufactures and let them do it.

Thanks for the suggestions guys but I'm still not sure I know what to do. I also have a "fixed pin" style franklin volume ped that works great with my emmons, which btw does have a hole in the pedal bar, but its clear that my 2nd franklin is built differently. I'm gonna add some pics for clarification.



The pedal in question (I removed a plate from the front which may or may not be helping the situation):




Compared with my other Franklin, a fixed pin:




The 2 side by side. See the difference? The one without the front pin is whats confusing me.

I'm not sure what to tell you.I have only owned one Franklin pedal.I would suggest calling Paul Franklin and I sure he would answer all your questions.
