The Yamaha FC4A is a robust piano-style footswitch designed for use with compatible digital pianos, keyboards, synthesisers and stage pianos. Its traditional pedal shape provides a familiar playing experience, making it particularly suitable for use as a sustain pedal when practising or performing.
The specially designed rubber underside helps prevent the FC4A from moving across the floor while you play. This provides a more stable and comfortable experience, particularly when the pedal is being used regularly during piano performances.
In addition to sustain operation, the FC4A can be used with assignable switch functions on compatible Yamaha instruments. This allows selected functions or settings to be controlled directly from the pedal, providing additional hands-free control during a performance.
The FC4A connects using a standard 6.3 mm TS jack plug and is suitable for a wide range of compatible Yamaha instruments. Please check the specifications of your particular keyboard or digital piano to confirm compatibility.
