M-AUDIO SP-2 SUSTAIN PEDAL

THE PEDAL MIMICS A REAL PIANO PEDAL, AND IS WEIGHTED , PREVENTING THE PEDAL FROM MOVING AROUND. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE SWEETWATER MUCIC COMPANY. THANKS!

Well made and affordable quality

The M-Audio SP-2 Sustain Pedal is worth the price. It is the right size, the cable is adequate, it is built to withstand studio or stage use, and the non-slip bottom keeps it in place even if someone gets a little agressive with their foot. It is 100% responsive and does the job it is designed to do and -oh yes- it has a professional appearance as well. Do I like it? Yes. And I also recommend it.

Good Pedal

It's a pedal what can you say. Works good and not as clunky like older pedals. Can't go wrong at this price!

Worked well for over 3 years

I've used the SP-2 for over 3 years. I play two to three gosple services a week. Had no problems until just recently. I feel it was a good investment. I plan to buy two more so that I will have a back up. Great value!!

Great upgrade from a stock sustain pedal

If you're still using a flimsy plastic sustain pedal that came with your keyboard that runs away on you when you're using it, why? This pedal has a switch that allows it to work with Roland and Yamaha style keyboards, as well as Korg and Casio keyboards (they have different switching polarities - some expect the switch to be normally open, and some expect it to be normally closed).

This pedal has a great feel if you're used to a normal piano pedal, but it feels a little spongy when you press it down all the way. I was going to get a Roland SP-10, but thankfully my sales engineer clued me into the different polarities and I got this one instead.

My only real complaint is that I got the pedal to replace a plastic one that came with my Casio PX-130 because that pedal kept running away from me while I played (I'd end up with one foot reaching underneath and behind the stand). This one doesn't move nearly as much, but it is still guilty of moving around a bit too. I guess that's gonna happen with many pedals, but just be aware. It doesn't move around that much, and the pedal is long enough (about 10 inches) that I can set it against some parts of my keyboard stand to make sure it stays put, just, FYI, buyer beware, etc...

Works... For a while...

This pedal worked just as it should for about 3 months, the I started experiencing issues. The sustain would only last for about 1 second and then it would release on its own. After about 2 days of this it stopped working all together. Now I'll admit I step on it pretty hard most the time, but I expected more durability from M-Audio...

M-Audio SP Sustain Pedal sudden quit working

This started out to be a great sustain pedal. It worked perfectly for about five months and then suddenly the sustain held for just a few seconds and then dropped. When I flipped the polarity switch the sustain was holding indefinitely. I tried switching it back, hoping it would again work as well as it had with the polarity reversed but again it dropped off after a few seconds. The price is nice for this pedal but if it doesn't sustain it's rather worthless even if it was free.
