Frequently Asked Questions

Most likely, yes. The polarity switch should allow you to configure it for compatibility, but you may need to experiment with the switch settings.
The plastic construction is adequate for home use, but the tread might show wear and tear under the stress of frequent, heavy gigging. It’s better suited for practice and studio work.
Absolutely. As long as your synthesizer accepts a standard 1/4 inch sustain pedal input, the SP-1 will function as expected.
