PROEL GF28 - Golden Feet Series ON/OFF Control Switch Pedal
The Proel GF28 is a meticulously designed footswitch, offering a reliable and durable solution for musicians and sound engineers who demand absolute control over their equipment. Part of the renowned Golden Feet series, this device stands out for its Italian engineering focused on durability and on-stage functionality. It's not just a switch; it's a precision tool crafted from high-strength ABS thermoplastic, ensuring it will withstand the rigors of touring and live performances without adding unnecessary weight to your gear.
This footswitch is designed to act as an "ON/OFF" switch, making it the ideal complement for managing remote functions on guitar amplifiers, basses, keyboards, and effects units. Its robust construction is complemented by a reinforced rubber base that ensures a secure grip on the floor, preventing unwanted slippage during performance. Furthermore, signal integrity is guaranteed thanks to its molded, gold-plated jack connector, a quality detail that ensures clean, noise-free transmission.
Main features
The Proel GF28 is distinguished by a series of technical specifications geared towards professional performance:
-
Heavy Duty Construction: Made of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and rubber, materials selected for their balance between lightness and extreme impact resistance.
-
Premium Connectivity: Equipped with a 2.00 meter long cable that offers freedom of movement on stage, terminated in a gold-plated 6.3 mm (1/4") mono jack connector for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance.
-
Ergonomic Design: Its low profile and compact dimensions make it easy to place on crowded pedalboards or under keyboards without getting in the way.
-
Guaranteed Stability: The base features non-slip feet integrated into the chassis to keep the pedal firmly in place, even on smooth stage surfaces.
Product benefits
For the active musician, the Proel GF28 eliminates technical worries, allowing them to focus solely on performing. Its main benefit lies in the reliability of its switching mechanism; you'll get a clear and precise tactile response every time you activate or deactivate a function. As a device from the Golden Feet series, it offers a longer lifespan than standard plastic pedals. Furthermore, the included 2-meter cable eliminates the need to purchase additional wiring, providing an immediate plug-and-play solution right out of the box.
Use cases
The versatility of the GF28 makes it indispensable in multiple configurations:
-
Guitarists and Bassists: Ideal for switching between channels (Clean/Distortion) on amplifiers, activating or deactivating reverb, or controlling tremolo and other effects built into the amplifier that require a standard footswitch.
-
Keyboardists: Perfect as an assignable control pedal for start/stop functions in rhythms, speed change of rotary speaker simulators (Leslie), or sustain activation in synthesizers that require "switch" type switches instead of momentary ones.
-
Sound Engineers: Useful for activating or muting effects on external processors or mixing consoles that support external footswitch control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this pedal work as a sustain pedal for a piano?
It depends on your keyboard. The GF28 is an "ON/OFF" command pedal (switch type). Most digital pianos require a momentary pedal (like the GF29) for sustain. However, it may work if your keyboard allows you to configure the pedal input for switches.
Is the cable detachable?
No, the 2.00 meter cable is integrated and fixed to the chassis to ensure maximum durability and prevent accidental disconnections during use.
Does it need power or batteries?
No, the Proel GF28 is a passive device that works simply by closing or opening the circuit through the Jack cable, so it does not require batteries or an external power supply.
Is it compatible with any amplifier?
It is compatible with the vast majority of amplifiers on the market that use a standard 6.3 mm mono jack footswitch input for channel switching or effects activation.
