Ortega Guitars Hands Free Percussion-Right-Foot Cajon Pedal, Bag (OCJP-GB)

Works perfectly for a Cajon kit, can’t easily get a double bounce on it, but that’s the expected from the design. Makes a great tone and is durable and well-made.

The good:- It is a direct drive, meaning you will never have to worry about a broken cable. Much more reliable. Is really the best (simplest) direct drive out there.- It is ridiculously adjustable. The head position to get it flat against the drum, the head height to get it centered, the chain height to get the action you are looking for, etc. Surprisingly adjustable.- Comes with a bag....granted kinda a cheap bag (no padding) but much better than no bag. And you could use it for cables, if not for this pedal.- Looks cool, or at least not strange like the Meinl direct drive.- Quite responsive. While you can get some better action using your toe, even some double-bass like sounds, it is more awkward this way. It is really made for heel use, which although you can't get quite as fast, is the only way I can really play a guitar and a bass drum at the same time anyway.- Very inexpensive compared to other cajon pedals.The Bad:- The action will never be as good as a real pedal, it's just a tradeoff.- This can only mount one way, though if you have a few simple tools you can make this a righty or lefty. With a pedal/cable (as opposed to this direct drive) you can truly put the pedal anywhere.- No directions...not that assembly or adjustment was hard, but some directions would have been nice.I ended up putting the pedal inside my cajon, and drilled a slot for the arm...well, 'cause I'm a bit of a maniac. But also because I didn't want to carry many bags for the cajon, with everything else connected like an octopus. This may not be the best option at any price, but this is one of the lowest priced pedals and will work and work and work. Adding the many adjustment options made this an easy 5 stars.

I've tried all of the various cajon pedals that are currently available. The best thing about this pedal is it's slim design and durable direct drive operation. It can be played with the heel over the bar, or with the ball of the foot on top of the bar. The only drawback of this design is that it's somewhat difficult to play doubles due to the fact that it cannot be played with the heel down or leg extended (hence, only 4 stars overall).

The media could not be loaded. This pedal is exactly what I needed. This is made by Meinl and is the same as the Meinl pedal only orange instead of red. It even came with a Meinl tag. I have the Pearl Spark Cajon and it fit perfectly. The pedal does have an adjustment on the clamp to make it bigger for larger Cajons. Playing bass with your heal takes a little getting used to, as you can see in the video, but it is not bad at all. This pedal really pronounces the bass and makes it sound better and frees up your hands to play shakers, etc. I am very impressed with this pedal and would highly recommend it.

This cajon kick pedal was exactly what I was looking for. I am a guitarist/singer, and I wanted to add some percussion to my act. This pedal was super easy to attach to my cajon, and the sound it produces is perfect. I'm super happy with this purchase!

I don’t like the lack of tension on the pedal itself. It is somewhat awkward to get use to. Still searching for something different!

I love this product and I want to get it. However, it’s not allowed me to buy because it’s expensive for me. Hopefully I will get it soon but I don’t know when 😊Currently I have tried my best to do another one by myself for servicing at the church ⛪️ every Saturday evening.

First Off, let me say, I DONT ever write product reviews. I have been playing guitar for over 15 years and saw this product and needed to give it a try. I already had a Cajon and used the back of my heal to try to get a beat while playing my guitar with limited volume. This product solved that issue. It is very easy to set up and use. Great quality and sound. If your looking for a simple device to allow to you play your guitar and Cajon at the same time, this is the perfect product for you.... LOVE IT!!!!!
