Finally, a real piano feel in an affordable pedal!
I couldn’t be more pleased with this sustain pedal—at any price. The company even includes a very generous cable length, which made it simple to route through my studio desk’s cable management system. The build feels premium: it’s heavy enough to stay in place without sliding. Most importantly, pianists will appreciate that it feels just like a “real” piano pedal—responsive, solid, and reliable. An affordable, high-quality pedal that delivers exactly what it should.

Good Pedal, but the Grip Needs Improvement
I really like this Universal Sustain Pedal. It has a nice, piano-style feel, responds smoothly, and works well with my digital piano. The build quality overall is solid. However, the grip on the bottom definitely needs improvement. It’s always slippery on my carpet, and I have to stop frequently to reposition it. Better traction would make a huge difference. Overall, it’s a good pedal with great functionality, but the lack of stability on carpet holds it back.

Great plug and play for Yamaha pianos
Works perfectly with Yamaha Mox8 piano. 1 puts it in cut off mode while 2 puts it in sustain mode. Does not interfere with tone or sound quality. Easy to store, no delays, an looks great

An excellent quality pedal at a nice price
I like having the adjustment knob which allows me to set the silent point of the travel at the physical stop. The adjustment is a bit sensitive, and slightly difficult to set exactly. Also, there is a tiny bit of free play in the pedal linkage, which makes precision a bit less than I would like. The mechanism, a slotted lever and round pin, is very standard for foot pedals, and I am being overly picky about that. I am comparing this to a Studiologic VP-27, which I have nearly worn out. The VP-27 uses a nylon rack and pinion gear system, which is slightly more precise. Overall, this is a very good expression pedal, which should work well for nearly any expression pedal application using a TRS plug.

Amazing
Feels like a real piano pedal. The switches work as described. I have not had to deal with sliding at all, though if you push hard enough it will, just like anything else with rubber feet.

Quiet, reliable, sturdy
One reviewer highly recommended this pedal, but claimed that this pedal has "rudimentary 'guts'" including bare internal wires. This is not true. This pedal has a printed circuit board and uses conductive carbon pills -- the exact same sort of switch you'll find inside your calculators, remote controls, smartphones, and certain computer keyboards. There are no bare internal wires as the reviewer described. I've owned three of these pedals. They are very reliable; I'm just now replacing the one I purchased in 2019 (six years ago). These are simple to open up (just be cognizant of the pedal spring). I last opened my pedal to modify it to safely absorb the static electricity in my home in the winter, when the air is very dry. The pedal is often the first part of my keyboard that I touch, so any static I've accumulated gets passed into my delicate keyboard. Once, the static charge caused my keyboard to reboot! This was not a fault of the pedal, which was simply allowing the static electricity to follow it's own path. But I soldered an inexpensive MOV (S07K35 Metal oxide varistor, 35VAC) across the cable to protect the keyboard from any future static jolts. I also could have incorporated the MOV into a secondary cable, but it seemed simpler to just place it inside the M-Audio sustain pedal. This pedal is quiet, reliable and sturdy. Highly recommended.

Nice firm press like a piano
My son was complaining about how light the original Yamaha foot pedal was. It was also really cheaply made. This is firm and comparable to a real piano. It doesn't slide all over the place like the cheap stock one that came with his keyboard. Worth the money

Excellent sustain pedal.
Worked right out of the box. No polarity issues and has the feel of an acoustic piano pedal

Ordentliches Pedal mit vollwertigem Mikroschalter, gutem Stand mit rutschfester Gummisohle. Nur das billige Kabel ist Störrisch und liegt nicht gut. Das zickige Kabel wurde durch ein gutes, dünnes Studio-Mikrofonkabel und passendem Neutrik Klinkenstecker ausgetauscht. Gut: Das Pedal lässt sich problemlos auseinander bauen und einfach modifizieren. Auch die Zugentlastung kann man vom original Kabel abtüddeln und weiter nutzen. Mechanisch sehe ich keinen Anlass zur Kritik. Nach dem Umbau ist es ein günstiges und gutes Pedal. Die Federkraft ist relativ hoch, Geräusche macht es keine und der Plastikschutz hält gut auf dem Chrom-Pedal.

Bestellt am 18. Mai 2023 für €15,00. Klein, günstig und robust. Ich steuer damit Start/Stop vom meinem PSR-SX900 Keyboard. Klappt prima. Gut ist der Polaritätsschalter. Denn nicht jedes Device ist da gleich geschaltet.
