BRAND NEW MONSTER MODEL PEDAL FROM MAPEX----THE SWIFT! This pedal is one of the fastest and best engineered we've ever seen. It's a single post strap drive with spring tension adjustment on the TOP of the pylon. Strap drive pedals use industrial belting that is virtually unbreakable and deliver an instantaneous response that rivals a direct drive. The advantage is that a strap drive pedal is even more controllable than a direct drive.. The stroke is controllable and the spring has a rocking action, all adjusted from the top of the pedal so you can play and tweak the action at the same time! It comes with a great hard case, too! $359.00
