I don't notice a squeak with my pedals, probably for the reason Gilles mentions - I've 'played them in' so to speak!

Thanks for the reply sigasa, and for the tip Gilles, I appreciate it.

I have one too (FC3) and I added some more lubricant inside (common petroleum jelly) and I think I bended a small piece of the action a little, but I can't remember which...It's much better now than when I bought it. I also have a much older on/off pedal with my P80, and it doesn't squeak at all now. I think the squeaking goes away with time. Be patient...and play a lot!

Of course I use headphones so I hear it less.

No Michael, I haven't, sorry!

Because the keyboard could accidentally catch a ray of light and blind you.
