Even with that, I think it would only take me a couple hours to really get accustomed to it. It didn't really do me any favors.Ī tighter spring tension might have given more rebound, but I didn't change my friends settings which were kinda loose. I did however have to do all the strokes. Probably because it's still a "regular" pedal, it just has a way smoother stroke. Unlike other Ultra Smooth, or DD pedals I've played, the PB felt good to me right away. Even though you can feel it under your foot, it doesn't fight you at any point of the stroke at all. I think someone could play this pedal all night on their gig and feel great afterward. Some really smooth pedals can feel odd doing patterns, but this one felt good. It was pretty effortless doing singles and patterns. The smooth footboard was really nice, and it wasn't "slippery", as it appears it could be in pics (to me it did anyway). I reeeallly liked the open right side a LOT. Very smooth, but I still "felt it" under my foot. Here's some thoughts from playing it "as is". The pedal I played was set up by my friend who bought it, so I didn't change anything from what he had. The strap was light weight, but didn't seem like it was weak, or prone to breaking at all. The nuts were all easy to grip, but the extra nut above the (usual) longer length bottom nut struck me as maybe being overkill.a tiny bit (but that's Sonor-it's not going anywhere haha!) The spring tension is held in place by two nuts on either side of the nub where the spring goes through, and a final " really hold it in place" larger nut (like other pedals), at the very bottom. It's not hard to get the spring OFF the magnet, but it's not going anywhere while it's connected. The magnet to hold the spring is pretty strong as well. You could do them and talk to someone while you folded it up. It really doesn't seem like it would fall apart after a while either. I knew it wasn't going to be like a Trick pedal in weight, but didn't expect it to be comfortably light in my hand all folded up.īefore, I though, "eh, I wouldn't fold it if I had one", but now that I see it, I'd for sure utilize it. Lighter than it looked to me in pics, and it's very compact when folded. It was set up in his lesson room on a pad. One I looked over, played around with it's different adjustments, and then played on my friends pedal which he already bought. Still not sure? Have a quick look at our other options.The Sonor Perfect Balance (JoJo Mayer) pedal came to the shop yesterday. We pride ourselves in selling quality brands and guarantee every customer superior after sales service. the self mounting clamp Quick mounts the pedal with a single motion. For extended lifespan, the spring can be dislocated and secured with a magnet when folded. the folding mechanism Folds the pedal into compact size for easy transportation with the push of a button. the ballistic fiber strap minimizes inertia of the drive system and offers a quicker and smoother response than chain or solid drives.Elongated and smooth footboard adds more leverage to the stroke and allows extended range of movement for heel toe and sliding techniques. Round cam design creates linear acceleration which is a major advantage for many hybrid techniques. Low mass drive system,The drive cam and beater hub are streamlined into a single unit for low mass and carefully calibrated for perfectly balanced strokes. Other than the pedals folding and mounting mechanism, all adjustments such as spring tension, footboard height and beater angle are classic, industry standard solutions. Due to careful design and perfectly balanced linear action any non-vital adjustments are obsolete and omitted on purpose. The main philosophy behind this pedal is to achieve perfect harmony and interplay between the pedals moving parts and your foot.
