Yamaha FC-7

This pedal is the real deal!

It does the job with great feel, along with beeing sturdy and precise. I have two in my rig and they are the best pedals I've got!

Good but very expensive

The quality is very good, but I feel this is overpriced for what it is.

a very comfy pedal

Very comfortable to play with. Super stable. Long course, perfect stiffness. Suited for big feet. I love it.

I've had three, and one got out of calibration after a couple of years. Too bad there's not calibration knob. But for the price, I'm not complaining.

Yamaha FC-7

Really good and well built expression pedal. I use it as a volume pedal for my midi keyboard.

No detachable cable...

I just want a TRS socket instead of a cable. Please. Always having the cable attached is a pain, and it's destined to brake.

Solid and reliable

Used it with my Nord Electro, Nord wave 2,… Works perfectly, it never lets me down, it’s relatively light but doesn’t move around while playing.

No Polarity switch

There's no way to change the polarity of the TRS jack that is directly soldered into a hardwired cable. If your hardware can change polarity, then you're fine. Otherwise, consider one with either switchable polarity, or one that has just a jack socket on the unit, and you can shimmy up a Tip-Ring crossover cable of your own should you need to invert polarity.

Otherwise, lots of travel, solid, and a good base to grip the floor well.

Very noisy pedal

Quite noise, not stable (moves when you press it), did not transmit all expression values properly, had to send it back. A bit disappointed with Yamaha.

Expressive

Using with my Nord, really expressive, I can recommend it.

Solid, reliable, long throw.

This is my second FC-7 (the first one is still working perfectly). You can rely on it long term and it is solid enough not to slip around the floor in use. It has a long throw so it is probably better suited to be used with a keyboard when seated (I use it with a Nord Stage and it works perfectly). Having said this, a small amount of adjustment of the angle of throw is possible via a small screw on the underside. The cable can be tucked inside the pedal mechanism for transportation but I don't tend to bother with this.
