5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly on my Hammond XK-1, using default settings. P-n-P.
My used Hammond XK-1 didn't come with a volume pedal. Or a Leslie foot switch for that matter. I can recommend getting a Yamaha FC-4 foot switch for Leslie and another one for piano sustain pedal. Those are nice, and that's what made me consider another Yamaha product for this expression pedal, which I have missed.There was of course a lot of differing opinion, Hammond v Yamaha v Korg etc. That's how these things go. I was a little puzzled by some reports of the pedal range being fast or slow or touchy. I need not have worried about that, and since I could see only one other Hammond mentioned in these reviews I thought I had better write something. It works great.I just replaced my main board battery which died accidentally, due to longer than normal inactive storage. It wasn't low, it was 100% dead and no volts. All presets got reset to factory values, and the whole instrument went back to default-everything. When I plugged in the FC-7 it worked perfectly, immediately. Right outta the box. Case closed.If you are controlling your Hammond XK-1 by the panel volume knob, you really need one of these. Instructions on how to interface it: Open box, plug it into the little hole back there. If that fails somehow, your default foot controller settings may have gotten changed. There is more info below, specific to checking that on the XK-1. If the FC-7 doesn't work perfectly on the first try.The FC-7 is heavy duty, rubberized, of substantial construction and then some, and has a nice spring detent at the full volume position so you don't hit a hard stop when you are maxxed out. Yeah, you can adjust the instrument gain settings so detent is actually about 90% of full volume, and then you have an extra 10% boost whenever you push it beyond the spring detent. But I just prefer simple. Cord storage is under the toe end, wrap it around the small reel and 1/4 inch plug-holder down under there.I haven't tried the Hammond original equipment pedal because I didn't know if it was worth the premium price, but this one is more like it. Now I know how much I missed the foot pedal. The FC-7 is a nice piece of equipment, and a suitable addition to the outfit. Happy I bought it.=====The remainder of this is info specific to the Hammond XK-1. It may help if you can't understand the manual... it is very difficult for me, as it was written with Japanese sentence construction. Of course the English is very good, it's just that I find I can read the words and it takes me a while to decipher what it really said.If your pedal is jumpy or too fast, you may need to restore your default settings, listed here:Menu Button, #4, up, up. (The up key is numeral 8)Source = Pedal (Normal) (This is the default setting. Spin the Value knob if you need to change it.)(There is a Monitor Value displayed next. Mine runs smoothly from 0 to 127, when operating the pedal with defaults. Check yours here.)Right, right, right, right. (The right key is the numeral 2)LEVEL shows minus 35, the default value. (Spin the Value knob if you need to change it.)LF LIMIT shows minus 20, the default value.HF LIMIT shows minus 30, the default value.Gain shows 110%, the default value.Push the Exit button, then Play button.For the Yamaha FC-4 Leslie foot switch, that is a tip/sleeve plug. (I call it a mono 1/4" phone plug.)The default foot switch settings work for me. But note that there is a second set of settings provided for a different plug, and the unused settings must be disabled. (The default is, both types are enabled!)Menu Button, #4, up, up, up.MODE, TIP: LESLIE S/F= ALT (This is the default for alternating operation. Push for fast, push again for slow.)Next, go cursor-right one more step.MODE, RING: Twirl the Value knob to say OFF.Push the Exit button, then Play button.If you somehow have a foot switch that is a Tip/Ring/Sleeve type (I call it a stereo 1/4" phone plug) then I believe you need to reverse both values.That is, MODE, TIP should be switched off and the MODE, RING should say LESLIE S/F = ALT.I don't have a weird plug to check that with, but the idea is to choose one and disable the other.So you definitely don't want both plug mode types to be enabled at once. You can still get it to work by pulling out the plug very slightly and playing with it, but that doesn't seem like such a great operating idea.

4.0 out of 5 stars Make sure you know the expression curve of your keyboards controller.
Hello All, I have recently gone through trying to find an expression pedal that would work for my Roland VR-730. In short, I experienced the same issue as many of you have where, the pedal does not seem to work through the full travel of the pedal and in some cases also does not ever go fully to zero volume. I went through three pedals by different manufactures before I figured out why this was happening. After trial and error on my own failed, I went to the "reference" manual which you can get online from Roland and learned that for the Roland VR-730, there are four Expression Curves programmed. What I saw in the manual was that of the four curves you can choose from, none go to zero and only one has a curve that does what you might expect a "volume" control to due (smooth up and down adjustment of volume). The other three don't make much of a noticeable change for the first third and last third of the travel and this is by design of the programmed curve. So, in summary, I believe the pedals to be fine and it's the programmed expression curve in the keyboard that creates the perceived issue.I hope this helps with at least some of your issues.I am off to Roland now to see if the curves in my keyboard can be re-programmed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for big feet
I got big feet. Other expression pedals I found were a bit awkward for me. If I didn't hit them just right in the center, it would just flop over and that got a bit annoying at times. There was another I tried that I kept accidentally hitting the cord on the back of it with the front of my feet and that would cause it to move, making my sound not come out as intended.I like this one. I have two of these now that are connected to each other since they include a small plate on the back to connect more than one together and that works perfectly. I use one for expression and another for sustain or pitch bend. I'm glad I got them.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best volume pedal
I liked that this pedal increased volume all the thru its travel. The Hammond exp 50 would stop halfway
5.0 out of 5 stars Big, sturdy, and works
Perfect expression pedal for Viscount Legend organ module. It's very well-made and heavy so it won't move around during a performance. Does everything it needs to, with no unnecessary features.

Yamaha volume pedal.
This volume pedal is top quality very well made & will last a long time.Ideal if your a proffesional player.Good value for money.⁸Very well made & very good quality.
Smooth and sturdy
Good transition for Hammond organ. Using it on my SK-1 as volume pedal. Had a roland pedal before but it had a really small “action”. This one is much better, but still not as good as the old one on my hammond xb-2 from Hammond itself.
Item arrived late but worth the waiting. Perform as expected. I am very happy and satisfied.
I used to own similar item many years ago.perform well as expected. I am happy and satisfied.
