Hi Gurek
I'm also using Korgs XVP10. It shurely isn't the cheapest solution outthere but it's a very versatile and sturdy pedal!

I'm using a Yamaha FC7, seems quite sturdy and well built but I've only had it a couple of weeks so maybe a bit early to come to any definate conclusions.

If price is a consideration. The Yamaha fc7 is probably the
best pedal and the best value.
I've tried quite a few.
Good luck

I am using an EV-5 which is light, but next time I will buy an FC-7. Similar price to the EV-5, but seems much more robust.

Re: Nord Stage 2 - recommendation for best expression pedal
The FC-7 pedal is among the models that can be selected in the NS2 System Menu. This is important because it allows matching the pedal input characteristics to the expression pedal model:
- voltage and impedance,
- min and max values,
- action progressiveness: regular B3 organists are accustomed to the specific Hammond "swell" response curve (pedal angle => volume). Different curves can be very unsettling for the player

Reasonable price, very solid build, great feel and sensitivity.
And as already mentioned, it's already included in NS2 preset pedal settings, which is always a plus.
