i am having a 78 Super Pro rebuilt and have a question about overloading a pedal. Do y'all think a pedal would handle C6 "P5" and lowering 5 and 10 on E9 the whole tone? I split the Franklin between P5 and LKR on my Mullen SD and the Bud only has 8 pedals. I know it would be stiff and I don't wan to compromise the C6 but would like to continue using the Fanklin change. If it wouldn't do the hole thing, do you think I could still lower just 5 with that pedal? Thanks!

It will take it. It'll make it stiffer.

| P4 would be better than P5, less on that pedal (usually the 4th and 8th A strings). P4 is where Franklin has his "Franklin Pedal" although the mechanics (leverages) are different on a Franklin. |

I know I could probably Googlle and find out about Franklin pedal. Since I have a Super Pro, what will a Franklin pedal do for me? What pedal would be best? I don't think I have that? I have the tradional Sho Bud copedant as I think It came from the factory with E lower on right knee. What would it take to make lower E on left if a guy wanted at some time? Any comments are appreciated

The "Franklin Pedal" lowers 5, 6 and 10 a whole step. Many people have chosen just to have it drop 5 and 10, since we drop 6 on a knee. I just got Paul's CD course on how to use it, I've not found it useful yet. My Zum has 5 E9th pedals: 1 raises 1&2 to G# and E, then A, B, C, and then Franklin.
The C pedal and Franklin both do double duty. They're a touch stiff, but not objectionably so (since P5 is on a knee, P4 and P6 are the affected C6th pedals).
If you take lots of pictures, and take your time, you can swap functions of two knees easily enough.

Yeh Lane, I haven't found much use of the Franklin pedal either and can think of at least 3 or 4 other little pulls that are much more beneficial. I once had a guitar that had a pedal called the X pedal that with the A pedal, made some really nice little Buck Owens bouncing type licks working off 10,9, 8, and 6. Wish I could remember what it pulled and where.

Lane, I do exactly th same thing with my pedals. I like having the Franklin separated and find it more useful if I can lower 6 independently. Mostly chordal for me. That cd lesson is interesting, his minor lesson cd is great too!

Thanks for info and comment...appreciate it. Don't think I need to tackle that Franklin pedal yet. I had heard about it....was wondering.
