Yeah, it's very light, responsive and very fast. You might need to tighen the springs a bit to get a feeling like your Cobra.

I have a Demon Drive (single) pedal and I didn't like it at all. It's a direct drive pedal, so it's always right under your foot. You would think that's a good thing, but it wasn't for me. I hope you have better luck...i need to feel that pedal bounce off my foot and the DD doesn't do that.

One of my students bought one.. (a double)..after a few weeks, he hated it.. so he brought it to me and asked me to play with the adjustments and to make it feel "the way your pedals feel". He also provided me with the little book the pedal came with. Yes......a book.

I ended up messing with it for about three weeks. Never could get it to where I liked it.

II think I posted about it somewhere here before.

Each YT, I remember you posting that one some time back. That sucks you couldn't whip it into shape. I just couldn't play with it. Very expensive lesson to learn. I bought mine the day they came out and shelled out $399.00 for a single.

I love my IRON COBRAS - I can easily adjust them and they feel great. The DW's are similar too. Both are fantastic pedals.

I've tried the demon drive, for me it is a great pedal, you can play fast, and you can control the power you put in the beater, but I prefer my trick pedal ;)
