Value Pedal MKII Vs. Rock Pedal,
A Rock Band Drum Pedal Comparison
Value Pedal came out with their latest Rock Band drum pedal replacement at the beginning of September. I've gotten more than a few questions since that time regarding the new pedal. "Why should I buy your pedal, the Rock Pedal, over their pedal, the Value Pedal MKII?"
I decided to do a video blog about this very subject recently on the Rock Pedal Blog. The essence of the comparison went like this:
The Value Pedal MKII is $79.95 + $10 for shipping. Rock Pedal is $74.95 + $13 for shipping. Rock Pedal is $2 cheaper. Rock Pedal is not CHEAPER as in lack of quality cheaper though. Nope. We get the best reviews out of all the Rock Band drum pedals out there. We have just decided that we don't want to raise our price. We could raise it to $79.95 or $84.95 like the other pedals have done. We've just decided to stay put at $74.95 so that our pedal is more affordable and we can sell more. Win Win. You get a more affordable, kick-a** pedal, and we sell more pedals.
Ok, back to the comparison. Value Pedal has a 30 day warranty. They also have an asterisk at the bottom with some fine print. They also won't refund your shipping money to you. We have a REAL 30-day, no questions asked guarantee. I don't care why you want to return your pedal. I don't care how it broke. We'll just refund you. Real simple. Also, we'll refund $13 of shipping charges to you as well. So you get back $87.95 for real. If you chose Express shipping or International shipping, I'm sorry, you still just get $87.95 back.
So, we're cheaper and have a better 30-day, money back guarantee. No exceptions and shipping is included. But, we also have a free, 12-month warranty. No other Rock Band drum pedal offers that. For twelve months, we'll fix your Rock Pedal (if you have a problem, which is rare) to YOUR SATISFACTION, or we'll replace it. Once again, no attitude. No 3rd degree. Just a working pedal. Period. End of story.
Rock Pedal is also more adjustable than the Value Pedal MKII. There are just simply more adjustments on our pedal. I have a ton of videos up in the support section of the site showing you each and every one. Check out RockGamer.com/cena for Cena's comparison of the two--he agrees.
Not to toot my own horn, but with Rock Pedal comes Jordan Ellington. I care. I know it sounds cheesy, perhaps cliche, and even a bit trite. But it's true. You have a question, you'll get a quick, reliable answer. You have a problem, I won't feel right inside unitl it's taken care of. And I mean, really taken care of. I don't mess around. Feel free to test me anytime at support@rockpedal.com or you can just go to www.rockband.com/forums and see what other people are saying about me, my company, and our customer service.
That's it. Rock Pedal is cheaper (in price, but not quality). Rock Pedal has a better 30-day money back guarantee. Rock Pedal also has a free, 12-month warranty program. Rock Pedal has amazing customer service, is super-adjustable, and is in stock, ready to ship within one business day.
