Organ Pedals For Yamaha Keyboard

The EHX series of organ pedals are a breath of fresh air in an industry that seems content recycling the same basic stompbox designs. You can get a wide range of sounds that go from subtle organ texture to bizarre voicings. Having a dry signal out is fantastic for players like me (bass) who want to keep an uneffected signal to my bass rig. Meanwhile I can run the organ sounds into a separate amp and/or series of pedals and tweak to taste. I'm not sure I'll use it in a live setting much, but its a blast to record and play with.

I had an older Yamaha machine with just 4 pads and no pedals. This one is so much better. I've only had it for a week but it has so many features that I know it's going to keep me busy for a long time just learning what can be done with. As I stated, I'm not a drummer but I just love banging out different beats and as a 75 year old retired news videographer with too much extra energy, it helps me get out all my aggression. The pedals make a huge difference and the quality is very sound. It sounds like real drums and if I don't drive my wife out of the house with my banging, everything will be fine..Good purchase.

Historically I've always used Yamaha FC7 volume pedals, but I wanted to try something with a smaller footprint. I've read many reviews stating the superiority of the FC7, and while I do agree it is smoother and more sturdy, the EV5 has turned out to be much better than expected. For me, the lighter weight and smaller footprint was worth the switch.

This is the best sustain pedal I have ever used, including the much more expensive Yamaha pedals. I can't believe how little this costs for as well as it is built. I have just purchased a second one to keep as a backup: A. In case the other one ever fails for any reason, and B. Just in case they stop making them I wanted to be sure I will always have one. I use mine now with a Casio Privia PX5S stage piano, and it works perfectly.

Perfect inexpensive coverup for your Yamaha or other same sized keyboard.

I bought this for my Yamaha keyboard - fits perfectly and looks great!

Covers my yamaha np-30 keyboard perfectly.

The keyboard is really fun to play and once you select the right velocity curve for your style of playing you can get a good dynamic range. The keybed is semi-weighted meaning is not weighted BUT it feels good and coming from a weighted keyboard you can get used and do good parts for piano too, ep and organs are fast with this keybed. Sounds are very good especially 60' 70' and 80'. I am using a lot the elec bass because is really convincing and funny to play. Tonewheel organ is really cool, having physical drawbars, and with a volume pedal you can mimic the organ even better Overall this keyboard is really fun and it makes everything easy to play, customize and balance.

I use this product on a boom microphone stand that sits over a keyboard that sits on an organ. The boom gives me more flexibility in being able to adjust it without being a mile away, or in the way, like a straight microphone stand. It securely holds the iPad in place. Now as far as how I use it...I find that it works better, at least on the boom like I use it inverted. Instead of the two holders on the bottom of the iPad, they are on top. This allows me to tilt it like I want to. And maybe I'm wrong, but this was the only way I could get the iRig into the iPad without the holder creating an obstruction. There really isn't much not to like about the product. Just set it up in a manner that you are comfortable and are able to make all connections you need to make.

These HS8 monitors were the perfect match to use with a keyboard. I enjoy pipe organ music so don't forget the HS8S matching subwoofer!
