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.

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.
