Paul Franklin pedal

Post by Jory Simmons »

Hey Guys..What Notation do you use for the Paul Franklin pedal?
One guy told me he calls it pedal D… (It is pedal 4 on his guitar) and tabs that I write I have been calling it PF… But that’s just me is there an industry standard for notating this change?

Hey Jory, why don't you become the new industry standard with "PF"? Might want to put a note on your tab that says what it stands for. I haven't seen any other tab using it yet and since some guys have it in position 0 and others in position 4, the letters make sense. Seems E9 has always used letters for pedals with A, B, C and C6 has always used numbered pedals so that makes further sense to use letters for an E9 pedal.

I actually do put a * By the "PF" then notate it on the bottom of the page. I think PF is good because some guys put it on a knee lever. I have a new customer that has gotten 4 tabs in two week from Me....He just took delivery on a New Mullen G2 U12. He's a Beginner too! He emailed me and asked about the franklin Pedal....I asked Him why he ordered it to begin with..He said 'cause a buddy of his told Him it was "Cool". I told Him just take a Video lesson with Me...

If somebody put FP I would figure out what it meant.
