SP-2 Universal Sustain Pedal with Piano Style Action For MIDI Keyboards, Digital Pianos and More

This pedal has been working great for me! I play a lot of different gigs with it and it's been holding up very well. I love that it has good traction too. My old pedal sometimes would slip while I was playing it on certain floors but I haven't had any issues with this one. The feel is super nice - I'd say it has the same resistance as an acoustic piano. It also is a very quiet pedal which is super important for me since I record a lot of videos on keyboard and don't like it when pedal clicking sounds get through. Very sturdy little pedal and I'm sure it will last a long time!

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.

This pedal is very good, I can’t really say a lot about it, except for it feels great and it does its job perfectly 😊

It works great!! I've been playing piano since I was three and I've had multiple digital keyboards and I've always just used the sustain pedal that comes with the digital keyboard... This is above and beyond amazing!!

Regarding M-Audio SP-2 which I recently purchased . . . The description given on the Amazon site includes the following three phrases: 1- Designed to work and feel just like acoustic piano's sustain pedal. 2- . . . with expressive half-pedal capabilities. 3- Piano Style Action I'm far from being an expert on this. However, I know that this pedal is actually an ON-OFF switch with no gradation between those two states. I find each of the three phrases above at least misleading. Number 2 is simply incorrect. It cannot 'express' itself in a 'half-pedal' (or half-damper) state which I think means the digital equivalent of the acoustic piano's damper pedal which, when pressed, swings the damper cushions completely away from their normal position of pressing against the strings. Doing this allows the sound of the strings to continue as the sound fades to silence naturally. With the damper pedal at a so-called halfway point the pianist can cause the damper cushions to slightly touch the strings, slightly reducing the sustaining effect until the pedal is released to silence. I'm used to an acoustic piano and was looking for more control than you get from a binary (instantly)ON to (instantly)OFF. I found that marketing really pushes the envelope with 'works and feels like an acoustic' which simply means that the pedal, not the sound effect, "moves up and down with resistance similar to that of the acoustic pedal". But "works" like an acoustic? Yeah. And, since the dampers look to be part of the Piano's "ACTION" which is the series of levers and hammers that translate the press of a piano key to the sound that it makes by causing a hammer to hit a string or strings, I felt that saying it has "Piano Style Action" would only barely stand up in court. This is a popular pedal, with a polarity switch which is a big assist in mating the pedal to the keyboard. It's a beautiful looking thing and feels really nice underfoot. Nothing wrong with the pedal - only with the description - plus, it's inexpensive. Mine quickly developed an intermittent habit of cutting out while my foot held the pedal in the sustaining position, but it seems to have a good warranty and I could have it repaired, but I purchased it based on the promised half-damper effect which is at best inaccurate. Amazon is not being intentionally devious. I suppose not all technical writers are musicians. I'm a very amateur piano player returning to the keyboard after many years without a piano to play. My technical knowledge is limited and based upon several days of web-surfing vendors and musician forums. I recently purchased the Roland DP-10 which really does have half-damper capability with a switch to toggle between ON-OFF and half-Damper. I just can't seem to get half-damper working on my Yamaha P-95 which I know is capable of it. However, I find that its sustain effect is not as quick to get muddied as the M-audio SP-2. Not such a big deal, maybe more of a personal preference - and the DP-10 is more expensive.

Nice quality pedal works as described.

I'm going to make this quick because it is simply that good! I have an older model digital synthesizer: Suzuki SP-40e. I wanted a sustain pedal and the first one I bought cost about $5.00 less than this M-Audio pedal. However, regardless of what I did, (using every variation offered in several websites), I could only get the sustain effect when the pedal was in the ‘released’ position. That first pedal had an "no/nc" switch, (as does the M-Audio), The switch would not work in the “no” position, only the “nc”. I noted in the reviews of that pedal as well as many others, that the same trouble was being experienced. Some people were able to get the pedal to work by using one of the 'polarity reversing tricks' that can be found on line. As I said, I used them all and variations of each with no success. So I sent the pedal back and decided to look at the M-Audio Pedal. The reviews were all 'home-runs' (that already was unusual) so I bought it. The instant I picked it up from the box, I knew this was a much higher quality pedal than the one I bought earlier for $5.00 less! The weight and action of the pedal was outstanding and of course, it worked, as it should from the very first moment I plugged it into the Suzuki keyboard. The M-Audio Pedal came with a very high quality 1/4" jack & cable. It was obviously well made and engineered. The unit was boxed with two layers of protection covering the high-polished, steel pedal. One seems to be designed to be placed on the pedal for storage protection. In fact, it appears that you can leave the ‘scratch/scuff protector’ snapped in place on the pedal when you're only practicing and remove it for those more 'formal' engagements, thereby reducing the possible scuffing of the pedal unnecessarily. As I said earlier, the action on the pedal excellent and comparable to one that can cost 10 times as much! The "NO"/"NC" switch is discreetly hidden under the pedal instead of on the side as was many of the other brands. In addition, M-Audio offers multi-pedal units that have multi-function applications and all at an extremely good price. Don't waste your time as I did, trying to save $5 or $10 bucks. Just buy this M-Audio pedal and you'll never look back! 5-Stars! Rich

Prima.

Good quality

ギシギシ音がなります。油を差せばなおるかも

Es un buen pedal la verdad, no me ha fallado nunca, ya tiene dos años que lo compré, compré otro más para otro teclado ya que la calidad de este pedal es muy buena, no se desliza y trae para invertir polaridad, muy bueno, 10/10

Buon prodotto. Funziona ed a costi adeguati. Si presenta bene, robusto e funzionale. Il cavo è abbastanza lungo per arrivare anche ad una tastiera collocata in alto in un multisupporto. Non è leggero ma se la superficie non ha gran grip può a volte tendere a scivolare. Nel caso aumentare grip sotto.
