: Hi, all:
: I'm a relatively new owner (2 months) of a QS7.1. Love the board, but have been unable to find an Alesis volume pedal locally or online. I resorted to a $29.99 generic volume pedal and have tried to get along with it, but the difficulties are becoming too much to deal with. I get a very uneven response.

: Specifically, I have to move the pedal significantly to get any increase/decrease in volume, and then it's always a sudden, extreme change. Makes it impossible to fade in/out or adjust a "layered" effect when playing the QS in tandem with my digital piano from the piano's keyboard.

: Yesterday, during the second set, I got so frustrated by this I unplugged the pedal in the middle of a song and used the volume slider for the rest of the gig. Fortunately by that time I could get away with that on the remaining songs.

: Can anybody recommend a GOOD pedal and/or source?

: Thanks in advance-
: Mike
Mike,
I have a QS8.1, and use the Roland EV-5. It is still a little difficult, as it is very sensitive at the low end. It takes more than expected movement to get anything, and then it gets right into medium volume. From there up, its not bad, though.
