Organ swell pedal recommendation request

Post by Eumel »

Hi folks,

I’m wondering which is the best organ swell pedal that is supported by my NS4. I mean best by being closest to a real Hammond pedal (angle, range, value curve…).

I‘m sorry if this has been already asked before.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers

Crumar EXP10 could be an interesting option in that respect.

I feel like the Yamaha FC7 is a great swell pedal.

I use a FC7 too, but he asked for an Exp pedal closest to a real Hammond pedal (angle, range, value curve…) so not sure the FC7 would tick all boxes of that request.

I saw that. I think it’s pretty close to feeling like a real Hammond swell. Close enough for me. I know Hammond has some modern equivalents. I used their XP100 on my XB-2 for years, though it was a proprietary multi pin jack. Not sure if newer Hammond pedals are compatible with Nord?
