I’ve been playing Rock Band 2 pretty furiously recently. So much so that it’s taken it’s toll on the equipment. I was playing so hard that I busted my bass pedal. So I went right out and bought a replacement Rock Band foot pedal. The one I got was a lot more study than the original one. It’s metal and I don’t think I’ll be breaking it any time soon.

I went if in search of a replacement pedal and I found a bunch of replacement foot pedals for sale here. I have a Playstation 2 at the moment but I’m thinking of upgrading to a PS3 or maybe getting an XBox 360 at Christmas so I wanted to make sure I bought one that was compatible with all of them.

Which is the best Rock Band Foot Pedal Replacement?

In the end I went with this foot pedal. It wasn’t the cheapest, but it looks the most sturdy and I certainly don’t want the problem reoccurring and have to buy yet another one. The great thing about it is that it looks like a real bass pedal. It’s compatible with the PS2 and Playstation 3 (as well as the Wii and the XBox 360). I have to say, despite the cost, I’m very happy with it. It feels great and works well.

I was quite tempted by this Rock Band foot pedal. The shape of it is just hilarious and the metal foot pedal looks very sturdy. It’s not so much a replacement as a reinforcement foot pedal - it fits on to the existing controller so it’s more of a fix for a broken bass pedal. If you’re looking to fix your Rock Band 2 bass pedal it’s ideal, but that’s not exactly what I wanted, so I went with a brand new Foot Pedal relpacement.

Rock Band Double Bass Pedal

I very nearly bought a Double Bass Pedal. It’s even more pricey but it does have to be the coolest thing ever. I very nearly went for it, but I think my talents only barely extend to a single pedal. I don’t think I could handle the double pedals. Having said that, if you’re hardcore about your gaming, it is the ultimate Rock Band replacement foot pedal.

I swear it’s improved my playing as well. I definitely seem to be getting further and more easily as well. The pedal has a really great feel to it. I think I’m going to end up playing Rock Band a lot more than I have been. Whether or not that’s a good idea, you can decide for yourself. (more…)
