Stagg SUSPED 10 Keyboard Sustain Pedal User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Stagg SUSPED 10 Keyboard Sustain Pedal. This universal sustain pedal is designed to enhance your playing experience on electric pianos and keyboards, providing a feel similar to an acoustic piano's sustain pedal. This manual provides essential information for proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your new pedal.

Setup

Unpack the Pedal: Carefully remove the Stagg SUSPED 10 pedal from its packaging.
Locate the Sustain/Footswitch Jack: Identify the 1/4-inch (6.35mm) sustain or footswitch input jack on your electric piano or keyboard. This is typically labeled "Sustain," "Damper," or "FS."
Connect the Cable: Insert the 1/4-inch phone plug from the pedal's 5-foot cable into the corresponding jack on your instrument.
Position the Pedal: Place the pedal on the floor in a comfortable position for playing. The rubber footplate on the bottom of the pedal is designed to provide solid foot grip and prevent slipping during use.
Adjust Polarity (if necessary): The Stagg SUSPED 10 features a 2-position polarity switch located on the underside of the pedal.
- If the sustain effect is inverted (e.g., notes sustain when the pedal is up and stop when pressed), flip this switch to the opposite position.
- This switch ensures maximum compatibility with various electronic keyboards and pianos, allowing you to select between normally open or normally closed operation.

Operating Instructions

Once connected and the polarity is correctly set, operating the Stagg SUSPED 10 is straightforward:

To Sustain Notes: Press down on the chrome-plated pedal with your foot. While the pedal is pressed, any notes played on your keyboard will sustain.
To Release Sustain: Release pressure from the pedal. The sustained notes will then cease.
Polarity Switch Function: As mentioned in the setup, the polarity switch determines how the pedal interacts with your keyboard. Ensure it is set correctly for your instrument to achieve the desired sustain effect. If notes sustain without the pedal being pressed, or if pressing the pedal stops sustain, adjust the polarity switch.

Maintenance

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the pedal's chrome-plated surface and plastic housing. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
Storage: When not in use, store the pedal in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Avoid coiling the cable too tightly to prevent damage.
Cable Care: Regularly inspect the cable for any signs of wear or damage. Do not pull on the cable to disconnect it from your instrument; always grasp the plug firmly.

Troubleshooting

No Sustain Effect:
- Ensure the 1/4-inch plug is fully inserted into the sustain jack on your keyboard.
- Check the polarity switch on the underside of the pedal. Try flipping it to the other position.
- Verify that your keyboard's settings are configured to accept an external sustain pedal. Consult your keyboard's user manual if necessary.
Sustain is Always On or Inverted:
- This is a common issue resolved by adjusting the polarity switch on the bottom of the pedal. Flip the switch to the opposite position.
Pedal Slips on the Floor:
- Ensure the rubber footplate on the bottom of the pedal is clean and free of debris.
- Place the pedal on a non-slip surface if possible.
