Compact Foot Switch, Universally Compatible, 5-Foot Cable, 0.25-Inch Plug, Black FC5

Very good sustain pedal. It works perfectly, the half-pedal function is very responsive, and it feels solid and high quality. Easy to connect and it really improves the playing experience. Highly recommended.

These sustain pedals take some getting used to, but they are much better for live use than the sustain pedals that operate more like a traditional sustain pedal, in my opinion. Here's why: 1) They don't have reliability issues - All traditional sustain pedals I have used (e.g., Yamaha FC4) develop problems with the actual mechanism (this includes models from Yamaha, On Stage and M Audio). They typically go down right in the middle of a live show, and either don't sustain or leave the sustain on at all times. Not fun. These little pedals never fail. I have had one for over 20 years, and it always works. Sometimes you need to re-tighten the side screws after extended use -- but that's it. 2) They don't slide around as much as FC4 type sustain pedals -- much easier to keep reined in under your feet when performing - whether you stand or site when you play. 3) They work better with Ultimate Support APEX-type stands -- because you can fit the sustain pedal in front of the feet on those stands. FC4-type sustain pedals must be angled sideways to be usable with an APEX-type stand unless you want to stand at a strange angle while playing. Angling those pedals will work -- but it further shortens the time you have before that type of sustain pedal wears out. Also, when you stand and play, you don't need to raise your foot as high with these FC-5 type pedals -- much less fatigue. 4) They are easier to transport, because they are much smaller and lighter. 5) They cost less -- especially when you consider they don't need to be replaced nearly as often. For me, it has been well worth the time to get used to how these pedals work to take advantage of improved reliability and stability. They also work really well as control footswitches (e.g., to trigger a Leslie fast/slow effect on a Nord or similar keyboard). Personally, I will not be buying any more FC4-type pedals. The ones I have that still work will be used at home.

While I love a traditional sustain pedal (i.e. Yamaha FC4A), this form factor just works better for live situations and my home office. This pedal has a nice rubber backing that doesn't slide around the floor (the FC4A seems to slide all over the place on solid floors and is a pain in the butt to reposition when you're playing live and it's wandered off). In addition, this pedal is smaller, so easier to have a sustain for each keyboard in a multi keyboard setup without taking up all your floorspace (I want volume pedals for all the keyboard too, so this just allows me more room). And best of all, they're inexpensive. I bought extras so I don't have to pack them when I take the keyboards out and I have an extra in the case as backup (although in 40+ years of playing all over the place I've never had a Yamaha piece of gear fail me).

Works great, shipped fast.

For a beginner piano/keyboard player, this pedal works quite well. The standard pin fits into most keyboard ports. The pedal holds notes very naturally. Hopefully I will be able to progress to better equipment, but for now this affordable sustain pedal allows me to practice my beginner music skills.

Works well on my small Yamaha mixer that I use to make demo recordings.

Good

Fidèle à la description

Ich habe das Pedal für das Yamaha YPT-210 gekauft. Ich bin Klavierspielerin, habe aber in meiner Wohnung keinen Platz für ein Klavier. Um dennoch einigermaßen anständig spielen zu können, habe ich mir ein Keyboard zugelegt und dieses Pedal. Das Pedal funktioniert einwandfrei. Die Töne "hallen" schön, wenn man es gedrückt hält. Simuliert sehr gut ein Klavierpedal. Das Pedal ist recht schwer, was ich aber gut finde, da es so nicht so einfach verrutscht und einen stabilen Eindruck macht. Es lässt sich leicht und ohne Klappern oder Quietschen bedienen. Die Unterseite hat eine dicke geriffelte Gummischicht, damit das Pedal bei spielen nicht verrutsch. Das Kabel ist genau so lang wie ich es brauche ohne zu spannen oder zu schleifen. Ich weiß nicht, ob es an meinem Keyboard liegt oder am Pedal (da bin ich was Elektronik angeht leider nicht versiert genau), aber bevor das Spielen losgeht sollte man ausprobieren, ob es richtig funktioniert. Bei mir ist es so, dass es darauf ankommt wann ich das Pedal einstecke, wie es reagiert. Stecke ich das Pedal ein und mache dann das Keyboard an, funktioniert das Pedal genauso wie ich möchte, mache ich aber erst das Keyboard an und stecke dann das Pedal ein, ist der Effekt umgekehrt. Dann hallen die Töne, wenn man das Pedal nicht drückt und sind "normal", wenn das Pedal gedrückt ist. Mich stört das nicht, da das ja super schnell zu beheben ist, aber man sollte es wissen. Definitive Kaufempfehlung!
