AlesisASP-1 MKII Universal Sustain Pedal and Momentary Footswitch with 5ft Cable and Non Slip Bottom

This version of their cheapo sustain pedal is WAY better. Solid design, no slipping.I will be ordering another soon to have as spare.

The price is sure right! Using this as a switch for a radio. Substantially cheaper than other commercial switches. Able to trigger with boot OR a socked foot!

My Pageflip fell about 2’ off my amplifier when packing up. The right pedal quit working. I could hear no click when holding the pedal next to my ear. The reed switch was broken. $75 for bench fee then labor and parts…too much. I bought this foot pedal and plugged it into the back of the Pageflip. Works great. You have to buy a 1/4” female to 1/8” male adapter. Total cost $20. Better than buying a new Pageflip or getting it repaired. Switch must be turned to momentary position…..away from the cord coming out the back.

The pedal housing is solid, but the internal switch mechanism was brittle and only lasted 1 month before the pedal became unresponsive (in the middle of a public performance...). I opened it up to see what went wrong and I found that the wire that moves when you press the pedal had snapped as the pictures show. Alesis gave me instructions to request a warrantied refund through Amazon and that process was very easy, so I will give a positive rating because they helped me resolve this situation right away.

This is a fine sustain/momentary switch for my synth. It works very well for the money, but doesn’t feel as premium or solid as a larger traditional sustain pedal. When pressing, you can hear the “clunk” of hollow metal and feel the resistance of a spring. With almost no weight, it is easy to slide around. I appreciate the smaller form factor to tuck at the base of my Ultimate Apex stand.

I picked this up up for use with an Alesis Sr16 drum machine. It works flawlessly. It is very well built. It has nice weight to it with good solid operation.It easily and quickly controls the start / stop function of the unit. It can also be used to trigger fills when attached to that i/o. I have already ordered another for controlling the additional functions. IMHO it is worth well more than the current $14 price.

The spring on this is too strong. It is tiring to hold the pedal down. The pedal works ok, but the amazon version was better.

Works good.
