    Solid and sturdy but can be unreliableThe M-Audio SP-1 US65000 is a sturdy and solid pedal. The case is metal, not plastic, so it'll hold up well over time. The rubber pads on the top and bottom keep it from moving around, though the pads have a tendency to come loose.The main reliability issue with the pedal is the low-cost construction inside. Instead of having the pedal actuate a switch inside, there's just a stiff bare wire that presses down against another bare wire to make contact. It works and is cheaper to manufacture than using a real switch. However, if the pedal goes unused for a few days, oxidation forms on the bare wire, which results in unreliable contact and flaky pedal response. Depressing the pedal a dozen or more times clears off the oxidation. If it doesn't, opening the pedal and cleaning the wire resolves any inconsistent/noisy pedal signals.If you're handy with a soldering iron, replacing the pseudo-switch with a real momentary contact switch would yield a really great pedal.3Works great and reliable!I needed this because my other sustain pedal was reverse polarity and wouldn't work for an old keyboard and some of my midi controllers. Its reliable rock solid, and easy to press and undress.5Best I've seen/tried for the price.I've tried a few of these momentary pedals, including Boss FS-5U (switchable), Hosa FSC-502 (normally open/off) and Roland DP-2 (normally closed/on). The Boss is the best, but it's also the most expensive, and doesn't come with a built-in cable. This pedal is designed a little differently than the Boss pedal, but it shares a feature with the Boss pedal that the Hosa and Roland pedals don't: an external switch that allows you to go from "normally open/off" mode to "normally closed/on," so this single pedal will work with pretty much any piece of equipment/feature that requires a momentary pedal. It's quiet; the construction is very heavy duty ... steel bottom and top, with thick rubber non-skid material on both; it comes with a built-in cable, all at about half the cost of the Boss pedal. At this price, nothing else I've tried even comes close. Very pleased.[After reading a few older reviews, I came across one that explained the remarkable cost difference between this pedal and the Boss FS-5U ... the "guts" of this switch are FAR more rudimentary and prone to glitch/failure than the Boss design (M-Audio switch is activated by two bare internal wires being pushed into contact when you press the pedal). The Boss switch relies on a more sophisticated mini-button momentary switch mounted on an internal circuit board, so I still favor the Boss switch in terms of quality/reliability, but this one DID consistently work for my application, right out of the box. Buyers should also note that the manufacturer seems to have responded to older complaints about the rubber pads coming off/loose by changing to pads with little spikes on their bottoms that stick through corresponding holes in the metal case, to hold the pads more permanently/securely in place. So, still a great value, as long as you're aware of its limitations/potential shortcomings, and the more rudimentary design works for your application. My five star rating still stands.]5Descent for the PriceI was torn between going for a more expensive realistic piano sustain pedal or this cheapie looking pedeal. I just needed a sustain pedal for some piano and synth work. For the time being I am happy with it. This is just a basic sustain pedal. It's either all on or all off. In other words, there is no control of how much sustain you can put on it, which I wish I had known before I bought it, but it works pretty well and it's pretty solid. You get what you pay for.Update9/2010 This thing hasn't seen a whole lot of abuse or misuse, or even use for that matter. So it was a mystery why the rubber gripping just came right off after a matter of weeks. Oh well, not a big deal to me. It has either sat in a box (most of the time actually) or been on the floor when I need it. It finally crapped out on me this week. It just won't work at all. Tried it on 3 different keyboards, 2 different programs (it had previously worked on everything) and now it just doesn't register. Disappointing cause I was in the middle of composing. I thought maybe it was a software thing. Nope. Did all I could think of. Nothing. It's a pretty simple little thing so I tried opening it up, everything looked fine (Cheaply constructed, I mean it's a damn little PIN that is the switch and not an actual SWITCH) Even went as far as to replace the cable and solder a new one in myself. Still didn't work! For as long as I've had it (about a year and half) it really hasn't seen a lot of use and only in my home studio. I'm a guitar player so I mainly stick to that, so I was upset when this thing just up and dies when I have a cheap $30 distortion pedal I've had since I was 13 that still works. I mean, I know it was cheap but, really?2Works fine with my digital drum setWorks fine with my digital drum set. Not sure if it works with M-Audio keyboard since the keyboard will not work with my PCs.3Not the biggest fanNot impressed at all, for starters it is hard to press, unlike the two other brands Korg and Yamaha that I've used, which are easy to press, this one though is for me at least not what I was looking for. second of all the thing broke on me after about a half a week of use! at first it decided not to work 1 out of 5 times I pressed it, and then it got worse and worse, until literally one out of five presses it did work! but other than that it's a pretty solid peace : )1A decent choice...This is not a bad pedal for the money. I prefer a piano style pedal, however, this pedal does have many positive attributes:1. Reasonable price.2. Sturdy construction.3. Reverse polarity is useful.4. It does not slide around on any type of floor I've used including glossy hardwood.5. It is very compact and easy to store.4Works fine.I am not a heavy pedal user, but when I need one to sustain a pad or fill out piano chords on a track, I need one.This one seems to fit the bill just fine.I've read that the mechanism that closes the internal switch isn't really robust. It's working fine here for now.5M-Audio SP-1I'm giving this item 4 stars, chiefly for its usefulness, not necessarily for quality. This is the second of these I've had, so once the rubber pads started lifting off, in a matter of days, I took them off, flaked the weak glue off the surfaces, took off the nubs which seem to come out easily enough but don't seem to want to go in. Then replaced the glue with Barge contact cement, and now I've got a useful little pedal that I can kick aside when I'm not recording at my desk. If it dies mechanically, I'll post an update. If you have the room, though, I'd advise getting a full-sized sustain pedal though.4Fell apart quickly, inconsistent, easy to hackI bought this along with an M-Audio keyboard which I am happy with.The rubber padding on both sides fell off within 48 hours. They're held on with a couple of inserts and some adhesive, but it was insufficient. I ended up gluing the rubber on permanently and it has held up so far (couple months).I always felt it took too much pressure to engage and eventually it became glitchy and wouldn't hold even if I pressed as hard as I could. I took it apart and discovered it uses a fairly primitive design with a metal pin making contact with another metal pin. They didn't line up very well so I bent the pins and fixed that problem. The issue came back and I did the same surgery to resolve it. This is a very cheap and inconsistent design; it should be using a momentary switch rated for long life. The pins will need to be periodically cleaned as well.Furthermore, it uses a different pin configuration for the inverted operation. This means in inverted mode, it will trigger slightly earlier; again, creating inconsistent operation.This pedal is compact and grippy which is nice but, because of the small size, it sinks into carpet. This made it a little clunky at first, but I got used to it.Overall I was pretty shocked at what I found when I opened it up. Momentary switches are dirt cheap and I might end up modifying it to solder in my own if this keeps up. Overall I can't recommend this product unless you're ready to take it apart and hack it. It's too bad because overall I like the ergonomics and I know most people will just give up and throw it away.2
