OK…. I got it….. there is a small magnet in the toe of the orange plate under the pedal… if you "replace" the pedal with anything this is what makes the contact work…. you gotta makesure the magnet is in place. The best way to test is to hook an electrical multi meter to the plug end and run a magnet over the censor…. check for the ohms to tell when the magnet makes…. my meter beeps… it is great.

ok so I did it a little differant…. I had a buddy make a full replacement pedal out of aluminium plate… he is a machist so it is perfect…. set it up and it does not work… can anyone tell me what makes makes this thing "contact" the base… is it magnetic or siply a vibration contact "shaker" switch if you will?

hey i need so help here. Similar to what happened to you, I was sitting here rocking my face off too. And out of no where the peddle just stoped working.
So do you know if there is anyway to fix it?
it's the new peddle, the one that has the diamond plate on it.

Can you show me where it broke? I ask because my replacement just broke, so I'm about to go and fix it again. I'll definitely record the repair process.

I tried this route once and didnt care much for the flimsy add-on. Everytime I played barefoot or with a sock on I would snag the screw heads. Not a huge deal. But after a marathon night of drum pounding, it got kinda old pretty quick.

Instead, I tried the replacement version with a solid metal piece. I found a few stores but ended up buying mine from www.pedalmasters.com. Check it out. feels more like the original pedal but alot sturdier.

If this pedal breaks, I'll probably upgrade to a professional pedal and get a mod kit or something. Thanks for the review anyways, everything helps.
