Best expression pedal for NS2

Postby petit pianiste 2 » 19 Mar 2019, 23:33

Hey guys,

I recently bought a NS2 EX and would like to buy an expression pedal. But I am not an expert pedal. Do you have any recommendations so the pedal really allows me to make the most of my keyboard?

(by the way if anyone knows if the left pedal from my nord triple pedal has any function but una corda?)

Thank you all

I own two of them. The best value in expression pedals, in my opinion.

I had to replace my FC-7 last year when it broke.

It had lasted TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS.

Feel free to ask, if you have any further questions.

A Rock-Solid FC7 here too (several). I never had regret buying this.

Thank you! I am now hesitating between a FC7 and a FC7 but I'll choose one of them!
