Need a new pedal

I haven't posted on here in a long time, so I am a little out of the loop.

My Ion pedal finally broke after 2 years of use and I need a new one. I'm probably going to order something by tomorrow. I want something that is just plug and play with what I have. I'm not interested in any modding or anything like that. I'm leaning toward just buying another Ion pedal for $60 from their site since it lasted me 2 years with no problems til now, but would be willing to pay a little more for something a little nicer so long as it doesn't require any modding or tweaking on my part (I prefer to spend my playing rather than tweaking my hardware).

What should I get?

Thanks!

I would suggest a Rock Pedal/Omega Pedal, but those may require some tuning, which you don't want. The iON pedal is probably your best bet since it comes as is, I'd also suggest a stock pedal if you penny mod it. All of the above take less than 3 minutes.

The Rock Pedal is $113 from Amazon, is it really worth the extra $50 over the Ion? I can handle some slight tweaks, really just wanting to avoid anything with a pad.

I agree with David. Getting a pedal with a pad is SO much nicer. The KP65 combos are by far my best selling pedals, and I have yet to ever hear of a complaint from anyone.

Better performance, generally better reliability, and you can use the pad outside of rock band if you ever want to play e-drums.

Something to def. think about

I did not know the Rock Pedal is now $113. Wtf.

Anyways, I will throw in a vote for getting the KP65, RB Kickbox and a pedal IF you have the money. I have it and it's great. Zip problems. I'd do it if you really like RB. If you think you might not or don't have the money, get the stock or iON pedal.

So I was thinking about it, and the Ion pedal comes with a 90 day warranty for $60. I may not even be playing 90 days from now, and even if I am another $60 only puts me out $7 compared to the Rock Pedal, so I went ahead and just got another one of those.

Thanks a bunch for all of your recommendations!
