Use this rather inexpensive pedals for all kinds of tasks in the studio: the sustain pedal on an Axiom 3rd master keyboard, to an Avid Mbox Pro (for controlling recordings that I import the drum among others instruments - have the pedal in Pro Tools with Record or . Punch In start / stop linked) to a Eleven Rack for switching effect chains, etc.). The "originals" of the respective manufacturers would have been considerably more expensive.
As yet, none broke me. The processing is (for the price range) but surprisingly robust.
My conclusion: At least one, two of which belong to the inventory of each halfway "well-stocked" Studios.
