Fatar VFP1-25 5-stars Reviews

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.

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.

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.
