CAP200 Cajon Pedal

The CAP200 is not only an updated version of the well-known original CAP100 design, but a completely new pedal. The remote cable design is, in our opinion, far superior to any other pedal design due to the flexible setup possibilities.

However, we have developed some things further, from the experiences we have made in the last ten years as pioneers of the Cajon pedal

Double Cam construction – patented

This type of construction converts the pedal movement into a rotation of the pedal shaft.

The Bowden cable passes this rotation directly to the beater shaft, so the feel is very direct and comparable to the feel of standard BD pedals.

Bowden cable coating

The steel cable used inside the Bowden cable is coated with Teflon for extremely smooth operation.

Due to the cable bend, friction of the wire inside the cable is inevitable. One of the disadvantages of cable-based pedals.

However, our wire is coated with Teflon. Teflon or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has the third lowest coefficient of friction of any known material on the planet. It is the only known surface to which a gecko cannot stick.

Geckos are of no concern to us now in this context, but friction is. With this feature, we achieve an incredibly direct response with no perceptible latency.

Flat design

Many cable-based pedals have the problem of the cable becoming a tripwire on stage or in the rehearsal room, as most designs use pedal frames from BD or HH Pedals.

The CAP 200 is completely designed from scratch. This gave us a chance to avoid all the problems we‘ve faced in 10 years of experience with cable pedals.

We didn‘t rely on existing standard parts, but simply designed new ones. This way the cable lies flat on the ground. No more tripping! Full concentration on the music.

Longboard

The CAP 200 pedal board was designed as a long board.

This clever design rearranges the different angles and pivot points to increase the force on the beater through the leverage ratio.

This allows a greater dynamic range with less stress on the foot and ankle.

Sweet spot area

Each Cajon has a sweet spot for the maximum bass amplitude. Usually, this point is in the range of 2/3 of the distance to the floor.

The CAP200 bundle includes the proven Cajon floor plate to which the pedal is attached. It lifts the Cajon and tilts it slightly; at the same time the pedal is decoupled from it. Many other pedals are firmly attached to the Cajon, the free movement and tilting of the Cajon does not work then, but this is so important for comfortable playing.

We designed our pedal to strike a normal Cajon right at the sweet spot for the best sound. No matter which Cajon.

Bag with inlay

Some competitors sell only the pedal itself to achieve a lower market price. This poses the problem of the cable being kinked and damaged during transport or storage.

For this reason, our pedal only comes with a bag and a custom inlay.

The CAP200 comes in a single brown shipping box. There will be no plastic in the packaging.
