SP1-L6H-BK : Great pedal, very robust,

7 years ago

I currently have 2 of these -They are very good pedals and play very nicely with my Helix Rack setup. They're quite heavy despite the reasonably small footprint. Certainly very robust.

These things are built to last, although of course that's reflected in their price!

I use a volume pedal a lot whilst playing, and to me these pedals can feel quite short throw and slack. Thankfully it's easy to stiffen the action and alter the calibration if needed. Once set up, the pedal holds it's feel well and the adjustment mechanism is suitably robust.

The housings themselves are quite clunky when the pedal is in use. At most normal playing volumes this is of no concern at all, but for some scenarios such as a "live in the studio with headphone monitoring" situation where bleed can be an issue, some damping of the base, treadle end stops, and switch tip is necessary. I used a bit of old carpet to cut some base plates and a few thin felt washers - much improved.
