I am looking for a good control pedal for my NE3 73 (mainly to use the pedal wah effect), but I don't want to spend too much money. Can you help me?

Yamaha FC-7 is probably what most people would recommend (http://www.daminellipietro.it/Pedale_Ya ... K999.music)

FC-9 or Ernie Balls or BOSSs are more expensive,

the Roland EV-5 is similar, but less sturdy (and heavy): http://www.musicstore.de/it_IT/ITL/Tast ... 001042-000

There are no-name cheap imitations, but I'd rather get a Yamaha used e.g., from ebay.com. They can be had for around 30 Euros (e.g., http://shop.ebay.it/?_nkw=yamaha%20fc-7 ... Categories)

I've got a Yamaha FC-7 and I'm happy with it. I'd recommend that pedal to you. It works great and doesn't move over the floor if you use it.

Thank you very much, Johannes and lennaerttol. I think I'll buy a Yamaha FC-7, maybe used.
One last thing: the Roland's jack is too small for the Electro's hole, so I need an adapter, don't I?

[Johannes]

Both have 6.3mm jacks so there is no adapter needed. Cheers!

I use bearingher's pedal. Its pretty solid.

A big +1 here!
I have both the Roland EV-5 and Yamaha FC-7.
I'd strongly recommend the Yamaha FC-7 pedal as being the most versatile and sturdy.

I have a Yamaha FC-7 that is almost 30 years old, been all over, still works perfectly. I recently purchased another to use with my Nord Wave, best one out there IMO.

Not completely on topic, but I thought I'd jump in with this one while we're all thinking about control pedals. Has anyone tried to split the output of a control pedal to go to two keyboards? I'd like to use the same pedal to control the B3 swell on my E3 and also the volume of my Korg R3 synth. I never play organ and synth sounds at the same time, so it would be convenient to use the same pedal to control both.
