There's a wealth of information on common tuning compensators for E9th, but I couldn't find much for C6th in the forum search.
Can anyone share Paul's tuning compensators for C6th?
What tuning compensators does Paul Franklin use on C6th?

Can't say for sure but because I'm not paul but according to the copedent chart he shares in his course he only uses compensators on his E9. I don't think you get the same issues on C6 that people solve with compensators. Mainly is the F# in tune against the B or against the C#.
I'd love to know if anyone is using compensators for other tuning issues tho. It's a very interesting topic to me.

Paul has compensators on the F#'s for pedal one and two for his E9. No compensators are listed for the C6 neck.

Addendum from PFM Facebook Group:
Paul: "I have return compensators on every string that raises and lowers. And tempering compensators on the E9's 1 and 7 strings on both A&B pedals. My C6th setup has tempering lowering compensators on 4&8 located on my floor pedal that lowers the 6th a whole tone."
