Fatar VFP1-25 Reviews

Very good and reliable!

I now have 3 of them and they are exceptional! The polarity switch is a life saver ! I would buy one more if needed! I think it's the best buy for the money!

Great value product...

Great pedal and still going strong!

Good sustain pedal

Good sustain pedal, In the chrome section I have my name Frankie engraved in it at the jeweler. The sustain is adjustable the deeper you step into it the longer the sustain sounds.

Great, universal pedal

I recommend it for Nord keyboards : ) Used everyday for almost five years, stage and home use. Strong and reliable. Would buy again.

Good

Good pedal, nothing bad to say about it.

Robust

Some keyboards are able to sense pedal polarity (normally open or normally closed) upon boot-up., and adapt to whichever type of pedal is plugged in. (The Kurzweil K2600XS is one of these keyboards). There are however, still lots of keyboards that don't have this ability, and you need a specific type of polarity pedal (either normally open or normally closed) -in order for the pedal to work properly with your keyboard. For those who are constantly swapping keyboards (or pedals) and want one pedal that will work well with all the different keyboards, this pedal is just the ticket. It is made by Fatar in Italy, and has a polarity switch on the bottom so that you can easily switch the pedal between normally open and normally closed polarities, -depending on what your keyboard requires. Studiologic pedals are made by Fatar in Italy. They are ruggedly built and very durable and should last many years. I have had several Fatar pedals over the years and they are very high quality and have never let me down. Fatar are the pedals that are supplied O.E.M. with keyboards from manufacturers like Kurzweil.

Great value pedal that works really well.

This is a really good value pedal..one that I found does not slip during use, like some I've tried in the past. It's a solid build and responds well whne being used.

That said, if you're new to working with pedals like this, it might take a little practice to get the hang of working with it before you get the best out of it..but, trust me, it's not that hard to master.

The actually pedal itself feels strong under your foot, when you press down on it and there's a very real sense of resistance from it..similar to that you get from the pedals in a car..though maybe not as firm to push down on, if you get what I mean.

All in all, a great little pedal worth getting if you're looking for a reliable sustain pedal.

Nice product

Love it. The only thing they should ad is rubber at the bottom so it stays in place. It moves and have to keep putting it into place. Other than that it's perfect.

A little flimsy but works well

It's a pedal and it makes keyboards do sustain. Hooray. It's been in use for about a year now without any problems, although the plastic does feel a little cheap so I wonder how long it'll last. Great for the price though, and the switchable polarity is useful for some keys that I've come across.

Great pedal

Connected to my Komplete S88. Great response, comfortable, steady.

I have my keyboard and pedal on a rug so it doesn't slide around (also cos it's nice to put my feet on). When put directly onto floor it slides around a little bit but nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of rubber.

It's very good for the price!

If you are looking for a sustain pedal and you are used to "classic look", this one does the job very well for the price.

I'm happy with it

Very affordable and very solid

Great build quality. Despite it being very affordable it has a very solid build and feel to it. I use it on a Korg Triton Taktile 25 and it works really well with it. It is very responsive and adds a lot of expression and dimension to the sound of the keyboard.

Nice feel - it just work

It is a good pedal, solid build but light. Nice feeling under foot with balanced counter-force that makes it easy to press it and to feel how much and how hard to press it. It simply does what it's suppose to do, and you can count on it. I like it a lot.

Does its job, feels sturdy

I've used mine alot in a home studio setting. It does what it is supposed to, feels stable and is responsive at a reasonable prize. I use it daily with my Yamaha CP33 without issues. Of course it doesn't support half pedaling or any such fancy features, but as an on and off pedal it works great.

Died!! :(

Went the same way as my previous pedal and died... went a bit funny towards the end though with the on becoming release and the off becoming sustain. Tried everything.... but didn't fix it. Ended up buying a roland one which had an anti-slip rubber mat thing which was good.

All in all it was great while it worked. Maybe I plugged it in while the piano was on or something!

although i dont have experience with any other pedals, i find this pedal does exactly what i need. nice and light and sturdy. Comes with cover for the foot part to protect the metal.

Also has a switch underneath so you can make it do the opposite action that it normally does which is cool.

very nice pedal for any occasion

Verry good

Verry good and it has a good price for this quality.

fair money good performance

very well built and responsive pedal, impressed by the stability

Exactly what was needed

We bought this to use with the keyboard at church. We've had it some time now and it's held together just perfectly in a situation where the kids are forever running up and messing about with the equipment (and jumping up and down on the pedal no doubt). It still works completely as intended and the action is natural and normal for a great price.

Reliable!

Bought it for use with my MIDI controller keyboard, as a simple ON/OFF for sustain. Avid piano players will not enjoy it as it doesn't have a continuous response for half-pedaling, but this is in no way advertised as such and so it cannot be considered an actual con.

Pros:

Very nice price point.

Relatively sturdy build quality.

Reliable so far.

Cons:

None to be found.
