We got a Yamaha DGX-230 and the FC4 floor pedal for Christmas. My son recently started lessons, and he and my wife reported that when they tried to use the FC4, it didn't work, and they had disconnected it.
I plugged it in and tried it, and indeed, it was backwards. When it wasn't pressed, it sustained. When it was pressed, it didn't. There was no polarity or mode switch.
However, after about 20 minutes of Googling, I found an online PDF of the model 220 owner's manual that contained this snippet:
"Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack BEFORE turning on the power."
It turns out I hadn't bothered to turn off the DGX-230 before plugging it in. When I followed the instructions, everything worked fine.
I also noted this caution as well:
"Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation."
So, although the FC4 apparently doesn't have a polarity switch, the DGX-230 can switch its OWN polarity.
Other models of course may work differently.
So far I'm quite pleased with both Yamaha products and I'm impressed with the thought Yamaha has put in to them.

The sustain pedal that comes standard with the Yamaha electric pianos are definately lacking. There're small, light and don't feel quite right. The FC-4 has a good all around feel, more like a true piano pedal. It's also heavier and won't move around the floor while playing. Well worth the money.
Loved it April 29, 2008

Adds realism... January 24, 2009

This adds a bit of realism to playing a portable keyboard - my wife loves it! There is a basic plastic version that would suffice (for about half the cost) - but this model is more realistic, quite well made and has the heft to stay where you put it. I suspect the cheap version would scoot around on the floor while being used. Do check to make sure it is compatible with your particular keyboard before ordering....
Excellent Value for the Price April 18, 2009

I purchased this item for our Yamaha Keyboard. It works great and feels very much like a regular piano pedal. I don't think you can beat the quality for the price I paid.
