I know this has been covered but I can't find a previous thread showing how to use the Franklin pedal (Lower 5,6, & 10) on the zero pedal position. I just got my new steel and this change is new to me. Thanks

Franklin pedal + your E to D# level = the dominant 7th (5 chord) of the chord in no-pedals position.
Ex:
G major chord on 3rd fret: the Franklin + E to D# lever = D7.

Doesn't the "B" pedal + E to D# lower already give you the D7?

What Pete highlights is that with the old-fashion pedal-B-and-E->D# dominant 7th, the 7th resolves downwards to the 3rd of the tonic, like I was taught at school. With the Franklin change (and the F lever version as well) the 7th ascends to the 5th of the tonic, which to my ears is no resolution at all.
I shall experiment with the Franklin pedal when I have exhausted the possibilities of all the other changes. I am 65 next birthday. I saw one of those Rig Rundown videos where PF was saying he developed his special change to be able to imitate certain piano licks he'd heard in his session work. A bit deep for most of us, I guess.

Hi Pete,
Yes, it does, but as John points out, this combination produces a different voicing of the D7 chord . . plus a cool resolution back to G when you slowly release the Franklin pedal.

Greg I like the RKL idea might try it on my PP since I do not raise 10 it should work well.

Hello,
Just an idea......
I have added the Franklin pedal to my Dekley, but already had the 6th string G#-F# drop on a knee lever, so it was just split, all the pedal does is drop both Bs to A. That said:
With the split function you can you can use the FP along with the A pedal for an augmented chord.
With the A-F combo, pressing the FP gets you IIIm.
Pressing the A B pedals gives you a IV, but adding the FP makes it IVm. You can move from I to IVm to IV, and back again......
Just thought I would throw this into the soup.
...................................Pat
I just realized: All the suggestions I gave can be had by 1/2 pressing the "A" pedal....  |
