    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality

    The build quality is magnificent! For that price, I’d say it’s very much worth it. I’ve dropped this thing from chest height and the dang thing still works. I’m not a short person so it took quite a tumble and survived with barely even a scratch. It’s not mushy like other cheap pedals are. It has decent activation pressure that feels like a genuine piano peddle. It interfaces perfectly with MiDi Controllers that support sustain peddles, and sound quality is very responsive. I’ve tried it on a few different ones I have and it works great on all of them. Lastly, the cord length is good enough to wrap around the back of my office desk where I keep my Akai Mini, and still has enough room for adjustment.

    I've been using this sustain pedal with an M-Audio Keystation 88 with Logic Pro X as my DAW of choice. That being said, for me the pedal works consistently and as intended and I am more than happy with my purchase. The resistance and shape of the pedal is similar to a real piano's, which is great regardless of weather or not you have experience with acoustic pianos - the most common alternative, electronic pedals that look like a car's gas pedal, are horribly unintuitive and flimsy imo. This pedal also weighs enough that, thanks to its rubber under side, it will stay in place as you use it on both carpeted and hard floors. The length of the cable is perfect and should meet any wiring-layout that you have with some length to spare still. In 2 months of near daily use I've only had one experience where the sustain pedal was not working properly, but it resumed working again after unplugging it and plugging it back in (it should be mentioned that this happened after leaving the pedal plugged into my keyboard which was plugged into my computer overnight so the issue could have just as likely been due to the Keyboard, Logic Pro, or my computer). This is significantly better than my experience with other pedals where similar issues would occur a few times per week or where, even worse, the pedal would function in an "opposite" manner indefinitely (sustained while the pedal is NOT pressed and then not sustained while the pedal IS pressed). I highly recommend this pedal as a quality product without price being a factor, so with the price of only ~$20.00 it is an absolute bargain and must-have for any musician no matter what your skill level or application for it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pedal
    Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2024
    I was very impressed with the pedal. It does not have a light, cheap feel to it--you can tell it was made well. The amount of pressure you have to use to push the pedal is perfect. There are two settings (the switch is in a recess on the bottom) as it is advertised. Works well with my Alesis Recital. Great product! For the price, this was a steal!

    This foot pedal has a solid feel and grips the floor very well. It is compatible with my Casio keyboard. Works great when I'm in organ mode, but when I'm in piano mode, the sound is not quite as rich. Overall, it has a great feel to it. Hopefully, it will last.

    I bought this sustain pedal along with the Williams Legato 88 Key-Keyboard and I am so happy with it!

    Most importantly it works extremely well! Sometimes, when playing piano, I may adjust my seating and when the time comes to press the sustain pedal I have moved slightly out of position to press it down fully. But the pedal picks up the signal and it sets the sustain just as I would expect from a real piano. The reason I am mentioning this is because I do know of some plastic sustain pedals for keyboards that DO NOT set the sustain unless you press that pedal all the way to the base and I do not like that. This can get you in a bad habit of "stomping" the sustain pedal which will lead to damaging the pedal and it creates a subtle but none the less audible "thud" in grand pianos. However, this pedal is forgiving and it never get's stuck in a pressed position (again, like some plastic pedals I know of)

    The pedal has a rubber grip that covers the whole underside to prevent from sliding and it has weight to it which is really important. When I press down on the pedal it always remains stationary and the feel/resistance from the pedal is spot on with that of a baby grand piano (which Is what I play on when I'm at my mother's home - I grew up with the instrument.) Underneath the pedal (on the base, not the pedal) there is a raised rubber stopper which prevents the pedal from every touching the plastic base. This is fantastic because you will never hear "tap" sound when pressing the pedal down all the way. It also doesn't have noisy springs inside which make a subtle crackling/popping sound when compressing and expanding. I have heard these affects on other plastic sustain pedals. This pedal is excellent quality.

    Not only does it feel right, it also looks fantastic. The sturdy plastic case is a nice solid black and the chrome pedal itself is just gorgeous! It is a smooth round shape at the end which I prefer - it looks really nice. It comes with a small plastic cover for the chrome portion (doesn't cover the whole thing, just the majority). It is a sturdy cover, not just a cheap and flimsy one to keep it safe during shipping, it is part of the product. It fits snugly when attached, doesn't slide and is easy to remove. I have decided to keep it on just too keep the chrome shiny for as long as possible. It is a pedal to be proud of.

    The cable is long (~6ft), perhaps longer that necessary for any setup I can think of but regardless; I would much rather prefer too long than too short when it comes to cables. I am sure anyone else would obviously agree. The plug is the standard 1/4 inch and it too is well made. It isn't flimsy.

    The only issue I experience (know before reading the rest that it may not be an issue with the pedal) is having the sustain pedal invert when I turn on the piano. This means that pedal will set it's sustain while unpressed and shut of the sustain when pressed. This only happens rarely which is strange - might happen from pressing down the pedal while powering on the keyboard but I'm not sure. Either way, It really doesn't bother me so much. If this issue occurs for you it is easily fixed by powering off the keyboard, removing the plug, putting it back in and turning the keyboard back on. However, I can't say it is even the pedal's fault because it could just as easily be the keyboard's fault (which I think is more likely and makes more sense). I just thought this would be fair to mention just in case it is the pedal.

    To sum it up - I can't see any other pedal performing better, feeling better or looking better than this pedal at this price or even more! It is an excellent choice! I recommend it.

    Its very good quality. Works very well with my keyboard. My favorite part about it is that it's heavy, and it feels like it's very good quality.
