What should I do with my FD8 HH control pedal?

[VDrummerBoy]

Hello.

I recently bought the VH11 high-hat along with the TAMA cobra stand to fit in nicely with my TD6 module. So far very happy with my purchase since it's a world of difference in terms of playability than from my previous setup.

Now, I'm using my old high-hat cymbal as an additional crash and not sure what to do with the FD8 HH Control pedal.

Is that something that I can easily sell? Or trade for? How much would I get for this? Still fairly new and in good condition - about 18 months old.

I'm in Toronto area.

Thanks

A quick search of completed sales on eBay shows an average price for a used FD8 going for about $75 U.S. without shipping.

keep the pedal

and assign a cowbell sound to it. I haven't got the v-h11 so i'm not sure if it has to plug into the foot jack.

It does, so there's nowhere left to plug in an FD-8 too.

Ok good to know

Have you got an empty jack you could plug the pedal into or split the channel. A foot operated cowbell or block would be kinda cool. Opens up a whole lotta playing avenues.

An FD-8 only works in the HH CTRL input too, and there's no way of splitting that for two pedals with independent sounds.

You COULD built/buy a line selector box and switch between the VH11 controller jack and the FD-8 for the whole cowbell/clave experience, but...
You'd have to assign those sounds to the hi-hat pad trigger, I think.

You could donate it to someone's GAS fund hint hint....

If you'd be willing to get a quote on postage, I might be interested in buying it off you to use as a roto pitch control. I have a spare HH control input on my kit.
