Alesis ASP-1 MKII Universal Sustain Pedal and Momentary Footswitch with 5ft cable and non slip bottom

I bought two of these as I needed something to control my (now very old) Alesis SR-16 drum machine. It's more or less coincidence that these happen to be Alesis branded — they're just some of the cheapest decently reviewed pedals around.They're definitely better than the price would suggest, even though their plastic construction means that repeated jumping up and down on them wouldn't be the best thing to do. Look elsewhere for a metal version (Boss make some nice ones) if your pedal-stomping involves your entire body weight.They're also quiet — many pedals have an annoyingly loud click, but these just get the job done without shouting about it. And the polarity switch is useful, making them truly multi-purpose (within limits — you can't use them to wash the dishes or listen to the radio, for example). Recommended.

received as promised and works perfectly

built like a tank, very heavy and sturdy and the packaging was almost overboard. works great, but you will hear a small click with each press, which may be irritating to some

As the title says, really.Solid, metal, and accurate/responsive.This is probably the best value sustain footswitch I've ever seen and is built like a tank

Sturdy and well made. Metal and rubber.For anyone interested, this will work with the rock band drums controller as a replacement kick pedal, but you'll need a 1/8" (6.35mm) female to 1/4" (3.5mm) male adapter.Tested on Xbox 360 wireless Rock Band Drums on Rock Band 3

It is not durable if you're going to be using it standing up.I bought this in December and it is now February and it has failed me. Twice.I love the design of it, it looks great and fits right in into my setup however it just doesn't stand up to its funciton all the way. There is too much pressure on the tiny switch inside which some of your weight rests on! Which is ridiculous im not surprised it broke, theres even a little indent on the plastic which puts even more pressure on soley this switch. Ive had to fix the switch, twice and each time its failed to the point where I had to get a wooden block to stop the top of the pedal before it hits the switch and that doesnt work and now I need a new switch for it which for how cheap it is, isnt worth it.I dont want to do this labour after only a month of having this! The design of the mechanics of the pedal is poor and it wont survive you if you want to slam on it (as you do) or rest on it which could be solved easily but it shouldn't break after a few weeks of use.

Use this pedal with drum machine work great

I haven't had this pedal for long so can't vouch for durability or long-term stability. However, initial impressions are good. I've enjoyed using it. It feels well made (in terms of first impressions). It works well with some of my synthesizers. Having not been a big pedal user in the past, I can't really compare to others I've used. The action is quite light and requires minimal pressure. If that sounds like the type of pedal for you, then I recommend this one.

A great value! Built like a tank, silent to operate and works as it should.

Muy bueno

thx

It's an ON/OFF switch for your foot/fingers that's not bigger than it has to be. (I'm just using it with the Alesis SR18drum machine so I have no input to add regarding the sustain function some may need to know about) The pedal also comes with a small toggle switch in case you want to place it on a music stand or on a table for your fingers. Solid metal coated with grippy durable looking rubber completely covers both sides.Now if I can just remember to step on it!

This one is good! It's good tension and the large size make it easy to step on. I got tired of the smaller pedals that keep slipping when stepped on it from an angle. Your feet will rest nicely on this pedal and you will just enjoy playing your keyboard. Press down gently on it and you will not hear any pedal noise. If you slap down hard on it, you will hear the plastic clicking.
