| I don't know about "Standard," but my left ankle hurts a lot less since I lowered all 3 pedals on this Marlen SD-10! |

"Is there a standard height for "A-B-C" pedals?"
Jeff , the height is about as standard as coat sleeves. In other words, you can and should adjust them so they feel and function the best for you. To a certain degree, a PSG is "personallized" to it's player through various adjustments. These equate to the right length for the legs, the right height and feel for pedals and the right spacing and feel for the kneelevers.
Just make everything right for you. 
Keep on pickin'!

The pedals should be adjusted so when you mash two pedals together A&B or B&C, they are fully engaged and to proper pitch. You have to determine your own adjustment as mileage will vary.

There is a standard evolving on A B and C for most players. And that is; most put the A pedal higher than the B pedal. This is particularly true with the Emmons' setup, more so than the Day setup.
In observing many players, this (Emmons' setup) is more likely the case than not. True there will always be some that do not follow whatever "norm" or "standard" develops, but for the most part this is the case.
Remember the term standard has never implied "All". The words "most" and "standard" tend to be parallel in meaning.
So in essence, A is the highest and B may be the lowest one. C tends to be higher than A or equal to A. Many players want contiguous pedals (when engaged simultaneously) to "bottom out" at the same place.
I personally have found that if A and B are equal height (Emmons' setup), I have difficulty rocking completely off B onto A. I rarely have the problem in the reverse movement. So my A pedal is about a 1/2" higher than B. And the rest of the pedals including C are a tad higher than B. But not as high as A.

I have the Emmons setup, and have A lower than B, and B lower than C. This is what I came up with ages ago after much tinkering, and now I'm used to it. I suspect most of us could adapt to a variety of settings if we had to, just by practicing and adjusting..
