Lead Foot LFD-1 MKII

I bought this little paddle with not allot of exceptions due to its price points , but , let me tell you, it is surprising.
SUPER well constructed (metal housing), the cable feels solid, and it has that "build to last" feel.
the small size factor is actually a plus , as i use it as a DAW controller on my desk, and as a paddle on the floor when i need to be. the polarity button works great and accessible,
however, the paddle itself can feel a bit stiff , but that could be because it is new and i have not really broke it in yet. time will tell. if you need a 2nd paddle, a travelling foot switch, or just something versatile, get this one .
its definitely one of those "good to have" items in the studio.

I've used this with Novations, Rolands, Yamahas, Korgs, DSI synths and Millenium-branded keyboards.

It worked perfectly with all of them and I've never had any issues with it (I think I've had to use the polarity switch on the back with some of them, well done Lead Foot for including a polarity switch!).

I currently use it as a STOP switch with Ableton Live (via a DSI Mopho SE), using it to stop loops and clips at the end of songs, so I stomp it pretty hard. Because I'm abusing it, I bought a spare, just in case.

It's an all-plastic body so it feels flimsier than a metal pedal, but it's put up with years of abuse from me, and there's hardly a mark on it (and I wear UK 12 boots onstage).

In summary: functional, inexpensive and impressively durable!

I got this pedal along with the keyboard bundle. While it responds decently most of the time, it doesn't really feel like the conventional pedals out there, not to mention its unusual shape. Tried it out while arranging something with my midi controller, but throughout the process I wasn't always confident that I was stepping on it right and getting the right response, hence I'll probably not be using it in a live setting anytime soon.

That being said, the pedal has an acceptable build and is light-weight and compact. I like the fact that it has a switch for polarity. In some instances where keyboards go funky and sustain notes when the pedal is not pushed (and don't sustain when you push the pedal), flipping the polarity switch will help solve the problem.

Overall, it's a decent pedal that might need some getting used to for those who want to take it on the go, but for that affordable price it's a good buy.
