Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Roland's basic damper pedal for sustain duty on keyboards and digital pianos. A functional replacement or first pedal, not a piano-feel upgrade.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a lost or broken pedal on a Roland keyboard
  • First sustain pedal for a beginner's digital piano
  • A cheap spare to leave in a rehearsal space or gig bag

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Pianists wanting graded half-damper response
  • Players who want a heavy, non-sliding pedal underfoot
  • Anyone needing continuous expression rather than on/off

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Damper pedal

It controls sustain only. It will not act as a volume, expression, or soft pedal.

Detail 02

Switch-type action

Sustain is on or off. There is no gradual pedaling as on an acoustic piano.

Detail 03

Roland-made

Wired for Roland's polarity convention, so it behaves correctly on Roland gear without configuration.

Detail 04

$32.99

Entry-tier pricing. Expect plastic construction and light weight rather than a metal piano-style pedal.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Light pedals slide on hard floors; a rug or mat helps
  2. 02Check your keyboard's pedal polarity switch if sustain works backwards
  3. 03Confirm your instrument has a damper or sustain jack before ordering

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this work with a non-Roland keyboard?

Usually yes, if the keyboard has a sustain jack. If sustain sticks on until you press, set your keyboard's pedal polarity switch to the opposite position.

02Does it do half-pedaling?

No. This is a switch-type damper pedal, so sustain is on or off. Half-damper response requires a continuous pedal and an instrument that supports it.

03Can I use it as an expression pedal?

No. It is a sustain switch, not a continuous controller, so it cannot sweep volume or wah.

04Is it heavy enough to stay put?

It is a light budget pedal. On tile or hardwood expect some creep, and put it on a rug if that bothers you.
