Reviews

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about M-Audio Sus-2 Professional Piano Style Pedal.

Features and functionality

  • The M-Audio Sus-2 does not support half-pedaling, meaning it only provides a binary on/off sustain, which can sound unnatural compared to a real piano pedal.

    Source
  • A long cable is essential for setups where the pedal input is on the side or when using multi-tier stands, ensuring flexibility.

    Source
  • It's highlighted that the M-Gear pedal includes an adjustable range feature, making it a versatile choice compared to other designs.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • The sustain function's effectiveness depends on the keyboard's compatibility with half-pedaling; many Casio models, for example, do not support this unless a specific 3-pedal assembly is used.

    Source

Build quality

  • Some budget pedals, including cheaper M-Audio models, may feel too easy to press and can sometimes stick or make clicking sounds, detracting from the playing experience.

    Source
  • It's noted that some pedals, particularly cheaper ones, may bend if pressed too hard, indicating weak construction in the metal part of the pedal.

    Source
  • Some expression pedals may not return to zero when heel down, requiring device calibration for accurate operation.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners report that pedals often trigger earlier than a real piano pedal, which can affect playing dynamics; testing is recommended to match personal preference.

    Source
  • Pedals tend to "walk" or slide during use; users recommend solutions like rubber pads to prevent movement.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • A cheaper on/off pedal might suffice for band settings, but home practice benefits from smoother, non-clicking piano-style pedals for a more authentic feel.

    Source
  • For those with 3D printers, custom pads can be designed to address pedal sliding issues, offering a personalized solution.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The Yamaha FC7 expression pedal is praised for its durability but criticized for excessive travel distance, requiring foot repositioning for full range use.

Great

I use it for the Nord. and it has a very good touch. I don't think it's worth paying the difference for the Nord.
