Fatar VFP1-25 Reviews

Really nice action

Really good sustain pedal for a great price.

My favourite thing about the pedal is the polarity reverse switch, in the past I have owned pedals in which do not have that and i've had to go into the keyboard and figure out how to get it to recognise the polarity of the pedal, however with this its as simple as a flick of a switch.

Really sturdy pedal which i don't expect to be replacing anytime soon. If you're unsure of the brand, it came boxed to me as a Studiologic product, who make good quality products at reasonable prices.

Really pleased!

Use it as sustain pedal on all virtual synths&pianos

Pros

-very well built

- works perfectly - quick response

- great value for money

Cons

-no cons

I recommend this as a very good buy for any regular synth&piano studio players.

SHould you be a professional skilled player, you might consider a more expensive 3-pedal system.

Otherwise, this is prefect.

It works fine.

It works perfectly as a sustain pedal on my master keyboard.

good

I like this pedal. I used it to replace an old Yamaha pedal which looked and behaved very similar. this is very solidly built as the yamaha was, but it feels like it has a slightly shorter travel, which is good for me. Overall I'm really happy with this - one more thing that works exactly as it's supposed to and one less thing to worry about at gigs!

Good Purchase

Slightly cheaper than other products on the market, yet this thing does everything you need, works straight out of the box, perfectly, with no fuss at all.

definitely recommended.

good pedal

Fatar is the best for this kind of product. Good that the switch are "under" the pedal and is not simple switch accidentally while you play on stage. Very good to use!

Great cheap alternative to branded equivalent

Great pedal for the price.

It has a useful polarity switch to use with different keyboards.

It has an average quality cable which doesn't straighten out properly!

Does the Job

What makes a good sustain pedal? This is a question I often ask with few answers. I suppose one which feels like the real thing is good, and this sustain certainly does. Good build quality and pressure makes this a good purchase for any keyboard.

Simple but good

It works well. Got one as a Christmas-present from my wife 3 years ago. She liked it better than her Yamaha pedal. So now I have a Yamaha pedal and my wife has this! Not really a good trade for me, but I'm a gentleman...

Does it's job

This sustain pedal works well and with the polarity switch I can use it with all my keyboards. The pedal has some weight and doesn't move around too much, the stiffness of the pedal is also good. I'm happy with it.

Excellent little pedal

This pedal is perfect. Does exactly what it's supposed to do and does it well. It's switchable from on when not pressed and off pressed to on when pressed and off when not pressed. On my Keystation it needs to be on all the time for it to work normally.

The metal tongue bit comes with a plastic snap-on cover to protect it, but you can keep this on if you prefer to. The cable is plenty long enough to be routed under my desk, up the other side and finally into my keyboard.

Solid construction with a great action. Feels like it'll take years of stomping. Cheap too - much cheaper than a Roland or Yamaha equivalent.

Bargain!

Excellent Value for Money

I've deliberately waited several months before reviewing this product. All-too-often reviews are written within days of purchase but as a gigging musician I not only need gear which does what it's designed to, but which is also well-built and reliable. Almost 6 months in, this pedal has performed very well indeed. Yes on the surface there's perhaps not too much to say about a sustain pedal - it only does one thing, after all. It's built well, especially for it's price; the pedal action is quiet and smooth with a pleasing depth of travel and weight to it and there is a very useful polarity switch on the underside. In fact it's very similar to the much more costly Yamaha FC-5 which I also use.

The additional weight of playing whilst stood up takes its toll on sustain pedals, especially piano-style ones. Even the premium-branded ones suffer over time. I'm pleased to say after 6 months use the Fatar VFP1 has been excellent - no glitches; squeaks or rattles. Will it survive as long as a Yamaha FC-5? Time will tell, but at less than half the price, the Fatar has unbeatable bang for your buck.

Good quality for the money. Not too different from the yamaha FC 4. Polarity switch is handy for different keyboards. A nice pedal from Fatar.

Really good sustain pedal!!!

So far so good, works as expected.

Suitable to almost every kind of keyboards as it has a switch on the bottom that allows to change the positive-negative centre of the pedal.

Smooth, quiet action

This is a well-made pedal that has a smooth, quiet action. The spring tension is also just right. It will move around a bit on a wooden floor, but will grip well on carpet.

Having used this pedal a few times, I have taken a liking to its natural feel. It also resists sliding around on the floor, which I'm sure you keyboard and piano players will find a very nice quality!

Solid reliable pedal, no problems at all.

Perfect little pedal

As far as a sustain pedal is concerned this does the job just fine. Well built, good responsiveness, and rugged enough to go on tour. Jack is quite sturdy and as long as it is not pulled around too much; a perfect little pedal.

Solid!

Nothing more to say that works well, it's really solid and not too expensive.
