Nyko's Metal Pedal now available, includes splitter for double bass

Just what I needed!

This pedal is metal.

That will work about as well as HMX putting an 1/16th of an inch metal plate on the RB2 pedals. Don't get me wrong, it was a smart idea. It just didn't solve the problem. If you press the RB1/2 pedals down with your hand, you can see that they bend right in the middle. It doesn't take long before they crack on the sides. I now use a Rock Pedal with a KD8 trigger pad and kickbox.

hmm this article sure looks more like an ad then news to me...

I saw this at a gamestop yesterday, and daaammmn, it is freakin MASSIVE. If any of you out there thought either of the pedals were too small, this is for you. I would have gotten it, but I don't really have too much time to spend on it...or money.

THERE IS A GOD!

And he listens to SLAYER!

Finally! A pedal I can import to europe without paying insane amounts of VAT's and taxes. I'd gladly shell out $80 for a "real" pedal, but with Norwegian customs and VAT's it ends up more in the $150 region. Not if it's under $30 originally though!

I had this the other day and as a heads up to everyone, you CANNOT hold one pedal down with your foot and play with the other, so I returned it and got the official RB2 pedal with splitter by Harmonix for $25 and it is way better than this

Now they need to release the Rock Band 2 instruments in the UK..

A metal pad with a splitter that works with Rock Band and GHWT kits? Awesome! Now I don't have to worry about the fact I didn't pre-order GH Metallica for the second pedal... wait, it doesn't work with RB1 drumkits? Aw!

Guess I'm gonna have to sell my RB1 kit in order to get RB2's...

That petal looks like ours after we repaired it with metal after it broke in half.

If I'm going to be playing with two feet, I'd rather the second be for the hi-hat than another kick pedal.

I've broken 5 official pedals. 3 rb1 and 2 rb2. (after very, very heavy use. Not like playing 1 song and stomping it into oblivion)

At this point I'm willing to bet spending 75 on 1 Omega will be better than the numerous replacements I'll have to buy after I break this sucker =P

My Review from Amazon.com:
I finally received the Nyko Metal Pedal (NMP), and put it through a quick test on both Rock Band 2 (RB2) and Guitar Hero World Tour (GHWT) on my Xbox 360.

As far as video game drum controllers go, I have the Rock Band, GHWT, RB2, and even the Rock Revolution controllers.

My first RB1 pedal cracked into two pieces. My second RB1 pedal developed a similar crack, and I purchased the Blockhead Hit Kit for its replacement pedal. My first GHWT pedal went defective as well. (My RB2 pedal has since replaced the Blockhead pedal, and is going strong.)

The NMP seems like the Rock Band 2 pedal design, super-sized. Both the base and the pedal itself are wider, but the overall design is similar. I prefer the larger size, as opposed to the Blockhead Hit Kit's smaller pedal.

In addition, for GHWT, you finally have a pedal that doesn't move during gameplay or tilt from side to side.

Also included is a dual pedal adapter, which is basically a splitter for the input jack. The NMP + RB2 pedal seemed to work fine for me in RB2. However, the NMP + GHWT pedal did not; the NMP would not always register. As soon as the GHWT pedal was removed from the splitter, the NMP would register every time. Perhaps on GHWT, you need two NMPs for it to work properly.

I'm not a fan of the art design, but it's under your foot all the time so who cares!

Pros:
* Like a super-size version of the Rock Band 2 pedal (that's a good thing)
* Includes a splitter for double bass pedals

Cons:
* Double pedal doesn't seem to work with NMP + GHWT pedal combo

Bottom Line:
You need this if you have a cracked pedal OR you want a Rock Band 2-style pedal for use with Guitar Hero World Tour.
