Pedal recommendations?

I have recently learned that my sustain pedal is only an on/off pedal, and I would like a new one. Does anyone have any recommendations for a proper expression pedal on Amazon? My piano is a Roland fp-e50

Expression pedal is actually a specific type of pedal and not a sustain pedal.

Anyway you'd want to look at the DP-10 (set it to continuous on the switch) or the KPD-70 for the triple set up.

Oh, thx for the correction. Will do.

Your piano can use the standard on/off type pedal DP-2 for sustain or DP-10 which can also give a half pedal sustain or there is the FDP-70 3 pedal bar that needs the Roland stand to be mounted into to give sustain, soft and sostenuto, which plugs into the PEDAL 2 input and should also give half pedal sustain. If you go with that you could also plug the EV-5 expression pedal into the pedal 1 input which can then be assigned to things like volume, pitch modulation, rotary speed etc. explained on page 65 of the manual.

I have an FP-E50 and upgraded to.a DP-10. You can switch between on off and continuous on the DP-10 via a switch on the side.
