Nothing special but works

I have been using this for sustain pedal on keyboard. Not much use yet so no idea how this holds up the test of time. Not way to hold this on the floor it's going move under your foot if you like to play aggressively. Works fine but if you have money I would prefer real piano-like pedal for keyboard

Used twice, then broke

Meh, that's the worse I had. Used litterally twice, and broke on second try. It's all plastic, do they expect you to push it as if it was made of crystal???

cheap and works!

it does the job! for the price is a no brainer, of course being light it can move a bit if you are not careful but for the most players this will be perfect

a bit clunky

i use this for my midi controller and it works just fine, but you don't really feel when it's engaged or disengaged (it provides no tactile feedback to speak of)

Matching Pedal

For y'all who have the Roland GO-KEYS or a Nord-Piano the matching red pad on top of the pedal with make your sett up look nice. The Pedal its is not heavy so i won't recommend it for live gig, like myself i only use it when am home. Last but not the least it has a polarity switch and the build up quality is good even though is not metal

Lightweight, decent low-price sustain pedal

The Lead Foot LFD-10 is a decent pedal for the price. If you're looking for a lightweight pedal to throw in your backpack or use occasionally at home, it certainly does the trick. It's not the most robust construction - so wouldn't necessarily recommend it as a pedal to rely upon for frequent performances. If you slam your foot on it a little too enthusiastically while performing, it WILL eventually break.

That said, it's a very inexpensive pedal. Considering what it costs, I think the somewhat lower quality is an acceptable compromise.

One other small dissatisfaction is that there is not an enormous distance between the pedal being pressed fully and released, and the spring holding it open is not especially strong. Because of this, it is not always immediately apparent solely by feel whether the pedal is pressed or not. By contrast, other pedals which have a wider range of movement or a stronger spring to push back against your foot allow you to feel immediately if they're pressed.

I use it as a backup pedal to use temporarily if any of my other pedals happen to break.

In summary, it's perfectly fine for the price. If you're using it heavily, I would invest in something with a bit more physical feedback and more sturdy construction.

Nice

a cheap solution for spare pedal

Small and functional. Quite heavy pressing. She smiles on the floor. But for the money serves the purpose.

For home

Good pedal for home practice and for the price. But if you want to use it more intense buy something more espensive in metal housing. I used it on stage and after some time it felt appart. You get what you payed for..

Impressive value for money

This little thing is the best value for money accessory i've ever owned to support any of my instruments. Yes, its quality is not the greatest, but I've had no issues with it thus far using it with my 49 keys midi keyboard. I wouldn't use it as a primary sustain pedal on my Clavia Nord as it's not as responsive at times, but it does the job. I am curious to see if and what issues I might have with is as time goes by cause it's kinda hard to trust the quality of such a cheap pedal but so far it's proving itself impressively!

Bang for the buck

It does its job unquestionably.

Low Quality Foot-Switch

I do not recommended for daily usage.

It broke after we were using by just a month.

Just for comparison, the original Korg foot-switch lasted 8 years.

Pros: very cheap, it works for any kind of keyboard

Cons: plastic made, not for heavy usage

Works well

I wanted a foot peddle to use on my keyboard and as it was for moderate and not heavy use I figured this one might be ok for the job. I have used the more traditional piano style pedal for a time in the past and so wasn't sure if this one would be too like a guitar effect pedal due to it's shape.

It came in the usual prompt few days after being ordered. It took me another few days to get used to using it and now it's my sustain pedal plain and simple. To me it feels solid enough without being clunkily heavy. The changeable colored foot pads are quite good and helps it to be seen in all but the most dim ambient lighting. I also use it [not as often] on my guitar amp which was only an afterthought for me but gives me a little more scope to

change sounds on top of my effects unit.

So after nearly six months of use it seems durable enough to me and well, for the price it's great really.

Not bad

This is a low cost item that will suite beginners perfectly. It's plastic and doesn't feel very strong so be careful not to step on it very hard

Fragile and weak

He broke down after a few live performances. It is very fragile and require delicate handling. The fragile structure of plastic

Pro:

A cheap pedal, with anti slip red cover

Cons:

lasted less than two years, with moderate use. Often used with the hand, not the foot. Too weak articulation (hinge).

Very weak sustain pedal

My Lead Foot LFD-10 only lasted a couple of months of non-intensive use at home and bar gigs. It is very weakly built. Don't buy this one. The only cool feature is the that you can change the rubber plate with ones of different color.
