Detail 01
Volume pedal, not expression
It attenuates the signal directly. Some gear expects a resistive expression pedal and will not respond correctly.

YamahaFC7 Volume Pedal
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Passive volume pedal for keyboards and synths with a volume-pedal input. Cheap way to add swells and hands-free level control to a rig.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Keyboard players wanting expression-style volume control while both hands play
- Adding volume swells to an organ or synth patch
- Anyone needing a low-cost pedal for a Yamaha keyboard's volume jack
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitarists wanting a buffered board pedal — this is a keyboard accessory
- Players needing an expression pedal for parameter control rather than volume
- Gear with no dedicated volume-pedal input
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 02
Passive design
No power and no battery. Nothing to plug in, nothing to fail on stage.
Detail 03
Foot-treadle format
Level rides under your foot, so both hands stay on the keys through a swell.
Detail 04
Entry-level price point
Built to a budget. Fine for occasional use, less so for nightly touring abuse.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does the Yamaha FC7 need batteries?
No. It is passive and takes no power.
02Can I use the FC7 with a guitar?
It is designed for keyboard volume jacks. It is not intended as a guitar pedalboard volume pedal, and results with instrument-level signal vary.
03Is this the same as an expression pedal?
No. This controls volume. Gear that expects an expression pedal for parameter sweeps may not respond as intended.
04What does it plug into?
The volume pedal or foot controller input on a compatible keyboard or synth.
