PROEL GF20 - Golden Feet Series Compact Sustain Pedal [Universal with Polarity Reversal]
The Proel GF20 is much more than just an accessory; it's a fundamental piece of Italian engineering designed for keyboardists seeking reliability and portability without sacrificing quality. Part of the prestigious Golden Feet series, this momentary-switch sustain pedal combines elegant design with extremely robust construction, the result of a fusion between American technology and the practicality that characterizes Proel.
Built with a hybrid housing of reinforced thermoplastic ABS and aluminum , the GF20 is designed to withstand the demands of daily use, whether in home recording studios, music academies, or on stage. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for setups where space is limited or for traveling musicians who need to lighten their load without sacrificing functionality.
Its standout feature is versatility: thanks to the integrated polarity reversal switch , this pedal eliminates common compatibility issues. You no longer have to worry if your keyboard is a Yamaha, Casio, Roland, Korg, or Kawai; with a simple click, the GF20 adapts to your instrument's operating logic, ensuring that the sustain effect is activated when you press the pedal and cut off when you release it, and not the other way around.
Main features
-
Universal Compatibility: Equipped with a side polarity switch that makes it compatible with virtually any brand of keyboards, synthesizers, digital pianos, and MIDI controllers on the market.
-
"Golden Feet" Hybrid Construction: Made from high-strength ABS and aluminum components, offering superior durability to standard plastic pedals.
-
Improved Stability: Designed with non-slip rubber feet and hollowed grooves on the surface that ensure a firm grip on the foot and prevent the pedal from "running away" during performance.

Professional Connection: Includes a 2-meter long cable terminated in a standard 6.3 mm (1/4") plated mono jack connector, ensuring clean and long-lasting signal transmission.
Benefits for the musician
The Proel GF20 offers the peace of mind of having a truly versatile pedal. Its main advantage lies in its technical reliability : the internal mechanism is designed to provide precise tactile feedback, allowing for expressive sustain control. Furthermore, its compact size frees up space under the keyboard stand, enabling a more comfortable playing position or the placement of multiple pedals (such as expression or volume pedals) without cluttering the foot area.
Use cases
-
Touring musicians: Its compact size and light weight (approx. 0.17 kg) make it perfect to carry in a keyboard case or backpack without adding extra load.
-
Home Studio and Desks: Ideal for producers who have their keyboard on a desk and little floor space.
-
Auxiliary Pedal: Many professional keyboardists use it not only as sustain, but also as a secondary trigger (to change patches, start sequences or turn pages in digital scores) thanks to its fast response.
-
Music Schools: Its resistance to mistreatment and universal compatibility make it the standard choice for classrooms with different brands of keyboards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with Casio and Yamaha keyboards?
Yes. These two brands typically use opposite polarities. Thanks to the GF20's reversing switch, you can change the operating mode to make it compatible with both and any other brand.
Is it a piano-type pedal or a button-type pedal?
The GF20 is a compact, square footswitch pedal. If you're looking for the physical feel of an acoustic piano wand, you should consider lever-style models, but if portability and a quick response are your priorities, this is the ideal choice.
Is the cable detachable?
No, the 2-meter cable is integrated into the pedal chassis to ensure greater durability and prevent accidental disconnections during use.
