I`d like to experiment with the
so called Franklin pedal but I use the B to Bb lever and I`m highly dependant on the split with the A pedal . My reasoning says I can`t have both.... Is there a way around this problem ?
I also use the B t Bb by itself .
Thanks,

I asked the same question aways back and ended up able to retain the split with the PF pedal.

That is a good solution for most, but, if you have a changer full of raises on the 5th string, it doesn't help.
Since I already raise B three times, I don't have one left over.
As usual, I agree with BB that there's more'n one way to skin a cat. E.g., recognizing that the pedals down I-Im change (A open with A+B --> Am on the 1st fret with E to D#) can be obtained by lowering the E's and raising the bar one fret. Also, people half-pedaled that change for years before half stops were common. It certainly CAN BE DONE.

Thanks Larry and Michael !
I actually reasoned wrong ; it wasn`t the split (C note ) I was missing but the Bb with the LKV alone,as the split screw sets the primary lower at A . Carefully balancing the pulls I was able to get the Bb reasonably close in tune ( I use it as a flat 5 which is a quite forgiving interval ...). Finding a lot of nice stuff with the PF pedal !

I usualy get that B to Bb change the old way that Buddy Emmons did on the way he did danny boy and it gives you most of the same notes back across the fret By using the F knee lever and the B pedal at the same time but it twists your leg up some to do it.
