"NEEDS TO COME WITH AC ADAPTER!"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
The product does work as a keyboard volume pedal, however there is definitely a hum associated with it. While playing it is not noticable, but is when no one is playing.
Features
There are very few features. It has a knob that lets you set the max volume and you can control the volume for 2 instruments or left and right simulatanously. It runs on 9V battery or 12V AC adapter - here is where the problem lays. I can't find a 12V AC adapter that works. Radio Shack no longer carries a multi-tap adapter. You have to buy the adapter that fits it and they tried them all and said none of their's works. Which is amazing considering that they have almost 50 different sizes at least.
Ease of Use
It is easy to use except when you have to change the 9V battery. If you don't unplug the pedal after each use, your battery will be dead. I wish Behringer sold a 12V AC adapter, but they only make a 9V one.
Value
Would pay more if it included the 12V AC Adapter.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to use yet.
The Wow Factor
It's a volume pedal.

"Pedal works well but Battery is a pain to change"

This pedal works well but the Battery Compartment designed. Basically once I unscrewed it I couldn't get it to go back in place. I ended up so frustrated that I Zip Tied it back together. I figure for $30 it works good enough to keep. I bought a bag of Zip Ties for when I need to change the battery- LOL

"Terrible Packing"

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars

Arrived in a larger box with absolutely no protective packaging, item was bouncing around in the larger box. Naturally it did not work when it arrived, all because there was no effort put into packaging properly.
