lightbg Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 If you mean the PedalKeys 27, yes, I have 'em and use 'em. If you kick pedals heel-and-toe, they're thisclose to the real deal. I estimate that the spacing compared to a Hammond set is about 93-94%, so not much adjustment is necessary to your playing style. They are well constructed, durable, transport easily, and are solid enough to not move on a polished wood floor - plus the dedicated Nord gig bag is only $30.00 - worth it. I did modify the swell pedal pedestal with my Dremel tool and cutting wheel by extending the holes out to the edge of the flange so I only need to loosen the locking knobs to install/remove the swell - saves time and eyesight. Other than that I haven't had any issues with them. 2K+ was a sizable amount for a MIDI controller, but for me it was a good decision. Underneath my C1 they give me the ability to play as if I'm on my B, and I'm willing to trade setup/knockdown time for 425 lbs. of furniture any day. If you want to see them in action look up the "lightbg" channel on You Tube. Hope this helps.
