Just the best expression pedal there is!
EvilDragon 20.11.2018
I wanted to upgrade from Kurzweil's CC1 pedals because they have a pretty short travel (15°). Yamaha FC7 is probably the undisputed champion of expression pedals for quite a long time now - and I say it's definitely deserved!

The only thing that could be considered a negative with this pedal is that it uses a 50 kOhm logarithmic potentiometer, whereas almost all other expression pedals use linear pots (and usually 10 or 20 kOhm). So there will need to be some soldering in order to reduce the impedance of the pedal so that I can use it with my Kurzweil PC3K8 keyboard. No matter - an easy job to do.

Just get one. Get two. Hell, get as many as your MIDI controller can connect. Be Vangelis. Enjoy life!

Important and well working
Markus2717 18.02.2014
If you're playing keys or organ, it is necessary to use a volume pedal.
I didn't want to spend too much money, but I also wanted to have a good quality. After trying some pedals at Thomann Music Store in Treppendorf, Germany (It's like disney land for musicians!!) I chose the Yamaha FC-7. It has a wide base for big foots and its surface is anti slip with the naps on top of the pedal. Also the underground of the pedal is anti slip, and that is very important for performing on stage.
The cable looks a bit weak, but it works for more than 3 years and there were no problems.
What you have to know: It has no zero point! But that's ok for me. I don't play if I don't want to have sound.

A must for serious organ players
Hepcat McSwing 07.02.2020
I mostly play Hammond with the ridiculously expensive Hammond expression pedals.
I got this one to use with a Roland VK-8 that I sometimes still use on tour. That meant I had to reverse the polarity (Yamaha and Roland don't mix), but that was easy enough.
The pedal has a nice long throw, which makes it a true organ expression pedal. It's built solid and compact, which makes it easy to carry around. It is relatively light but stays well in place. To my (personal!) taste, it could use a fraction more resistance. I tend to overstep it. Other than that, this is one of the best organ expression pedals out there.

Solid, reliable, long throw.
DrCheese 28.05.2020
This is my second FC-7 (the first one is still working perfectly). You can rely on it long term and it is solid enough not to slip around the floor in use. It has a long throw so it is probably better suited to be used with a keyboard when seated (I use it with a Nord Stage and it works perfectly). Having said this, a small amount of adjustment of the angle of throw is possible via a small screw on the underside. The cable can be tucked inside the pedal mechanism for transportation but I don't tend to bother with this.

No Polarity switch
Eanna 04.01.2021
There's no way to change the polarity of the TRS jack that is directly soldered into a hardwired cable. If your hardware can change polarity, then you're fine. Otherwise, consider one with either switchable polarity, or one that has just a jack socket on the unit, and you can shimmy up a Tip-Ring crossover cable of your own should you need to invert polarity.
Otherwise, lots of travel, solid, and a good base to grip the floor well.

Really good and well built expression pedal. I use it as a volume pedal for my midi keyboard.

No detachable cable...
TheKeyboardPlayer 29.11.2021
I just want a TRS socket instead of a cable. Please. Always having the cable attached is a pain, and it's destined to brake.

Works great, seems to be good quality
TrEr 16.05.2020
I got this for the cheap Yamaha Reface YC. Works great. The build quality is reassuringly sturdy. The cable looks slightly flimsy but it's far from the worst I've seen and if they had made it sturdier it would probably have been less flexible and user friendly.

Good quality at a reasonable price. Recommended.

a very comfy pedal
Jean-Claude Van Damme 11.03.2022
Very comfortable to play with. Super stable. Long course, perfect stiffness. Suited for big feet. I love it.

I've had five of them. One got out of calibration after a couple of years. Too bad there's not calibration knob. I broke two more. So they're less sturdy than they appear. Still my favorite pedal, but I wish it would be more durable for that price.

Ideal for use with Yamaha synth
Spanna 09.05.2014
I used to use a simple stereo volume control pedal between my synth and the amp. It wasn't expensive and it did the job - until the mechanism broke. I invested the extra money in the proper Yamaha expression pedal and have not been disappointed. 1 - you can configure what the pedal controls - not just volume. 2 - the construction is very robust and reliable. If you have a Yamaha keyboard, spend a little bit more and get a better solution.
