Yamaha FC4A Sustain Pedal

Acoustic-Piano Pedal Feel for Sustain and On/Off Control

The Yamaha FC4A is a piano-style foot switch for sustain and other momentary (on/off) functions. Yamaha designed it to give the same feel as the pedal on an acoustic piano, and lists it for use with digital pianos, keyboards, synthesizers and stage pianos.

It connects with a standard TS 1/4-inch plug, measures 89 × 66 × 276 mm and weighs 0.7 kg, so it is easy to move between home practice, lessons and rehearsals. As an on/off switch, the FC4A does not offer half-damper control.

Shaped like an acoustic piano pedal

The FC4A’s pedal follows the shape and feel of an acoustic piano’s sustain pedal. Players who also practise on an acoustic piano will find the movement under the foot familiar.

Sustain and other momentary functions

As a momentary foot switch, the FC4A sends a simple on/off signal. Use it for sustain, or for other switch functions that your instrument allows a footswitch to control.

Standard TS 1/4-inch plug

The FC4A connects with a TS 1/4-inch plug, the standard footswitch connection on many Yamaha digital pianos and keyboards. Check your instrument’s manual, or ask our team, before ordering.

Compact and easy to carry

At 89 mm wide, 66 mm high and 276 mm deep, and just 0.7 kg, the FC4A fits easily under a stand and into a gig bag or accessory case.

Listed for current Yamaha digital pianos

Yamaha lists the FC4A as an optional pedal for digital pianos including the P-225 and P-45, giving a more piano-like pedal than a basic footswitch.

Q. Which Yamaha instruments is the FC4A compatible with?

Yamaha lists the FC4A as an optional pedal for the P-225 and P-45 digital pianos, and describes it as suitable for digital pianos, keyboards, synthesizers and stage pianos. Pedal inputs and assignable functions vary by instrument, so please check your model with our team.

Q. Does the FC4A support half-pedalling?

No. The FC4A is an on/off foot switch. Yamaha’s FC3A is the sustain pedal it lists as compatible with half-pedalling.

Q. How does the FC4A connect?

It uses a TS 1/4-inch plug that connects to a compatible sustain or footswitch jack.

Q. How is the FC4A different from the FC5?

Both are on/off foot switches for sustain and other momentary functions. The FC4A has a piano-style pedal shape, while the FC5 is a compact foot-switch-style pedal.
