Looking for a good pedal? Keep looking.
I purchased the Nyko Metal pedal to replace my GHWT pedal. I had already broken one GHWT pedal, and my current one was showing signs of wear, so I decided to go ahead and purchase this pedal to see if it was any better than the stock pedal.
My first impression out of the box was that the pedal feels nice and sturdy. It feels like this pedal will stand up to a bit of abuse. Unfortunately, that is really this pedals only good point.
After receiving the pedal I plugged it in and started playing, my scores were noticeably lower than they were when using the stock GHWT pedal. I thought maybe I just need to get used to it, so I spent the last two weeks using this pedal in order to form a solid opinion: This thing is no good.
One problem with this pedal is that the spring has very little tension, and there is no way to adjust it. Due to this lack of resistance the pedal has no "Bounce". You press it down, and you practically have to lift your foot completely in order for the pedal to come back up. This makes fast kick notes extremely difficult.
Another problem with this pedal is that if you have carpeted floors this pedal will slide around everywhere. There is nothing on this pedal to give it good surface friction on carpet. You can add a PVC cross-bean to your drum set to hook this pedal on and keep it more secure, but you then lose the ability to place the pedal wherever is most comfortable.
Lastly, the response of the pedal leaves something to be desired. Songs with fast kicks or double-kicks are practically impossible to keep combo going. It seems to work okay on songs that don't have a lot of kick, but even then the pedal seems to drop notes occasionally (maybe a 3% drop note rate).
Connecting this pedal and the GHWT pedal in double-bass configuration does not work. Drops notes like crazy when set up like this.
After a couple of weeks I decided to switch back to my stock GHWT pedal(with some modifications to hopefully keep it from breaking). My scores were immediately higher again. I can keep combo on fast songs without problem.
If you are looking for an improvement to the stock GHWT pedal, this pedal is not what you are looking for.
Hit or Skip? Hit!
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.
Very disappointing - doesn't register with GHWT or Metallica
This is a terrible pedal. I just took it out of the box, and it's been a huge letdown.
When using it as a double pedal with a splitter, the Nyko pedal only registers about 50% of all bass drum notes. It also weakens the standard black pedal by redirecting 50% of its power. I made sure to take off the yellow strip underneath, I made sure the splitter was set to "Guitar Hero" and I made sure that all connections were solid. Still didn't work.
I'm returning it and looking for another brand, if one even exists. Very disappointed.
