Introduction
Thank you for choosing the RiToEasysports WTB-004 Sustain Pedal. This pedal is designed to provide a natural sustain effect for electronic keyboards and digital pianos, enhancing your musical expression. It features universal compatibility and a polarity switch for seamless integration with various instruments.
Product Features
- Universal Compatibility: Works with most electronic keyboards and digital pianos.
- Half-Pedaling Capability: Allows for nuanced sustain control, similar to an acoustic piano.
- Polarity Switch: A small sliding switch allows adjustment of the pedal's polarity to match different instrument requirements.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality plastic and metal for long-lasting performance.
- Non-Slip Design: Features a textured rubber surface for stability during use.
Setup
- Connect the Pedal: Locate the sustain pedal input jack on your electronic keyboard or digital piano. This is typically a 1/4" (6.35mm) mono audio jack. Insert the 1/4" plug of the sustain pedal cable firmly into this jack.

- Position the Pedal: Place the sustain pedal on the floor in a comfortable position for your foot. Ensure the pedal is stable and does not slide during use.

- Adjust Polarity (if necessary): Some keyboards require a specific pedal polarity. If the sustain effect is inverted (e.g., notes sustain when the pedal is up and stop when pressed), locate the small sliding switch on the side of the pedal. Slide this switch to the opposite position to correct the polarity.

Operating Instructions
The RiToEasysports WTB-004 Sustain Pedal functions like a traditional piano sustain pedal. Press the pedal down to sustain notes, and release it to stop the sustain effect. The half-pedaling feature allows for partial sustain, providing more expressive control over your sound.
- Full Sustain: Press the pedal fully down to achieve maximum sustain.
- Half-Pedaling: Partially press the pedal to achieve a moderate sustain effect. The degree of sustain will vary depending on your keyboard's capabilities and how far the pedal is pressed.
- Release: Lift your foot completely off the pedal to end the sustain effect.

- Storage: When not in use, store the pedal in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Cable Care: Avoid kinking or sharply bending the cable. Store the cable neatly coiled to prevent damage.
