Nyko Technologies®, the premier video game accessories manufacturer, today announced that the highly anticipated Metal Pedal has shipped to stores. The heavy-duty drum pedal is compatible with Rock Band® 1 and 2, Guitar Hero®: World Tour and Guitar Hero®: Metallica on all consoles and plugs directly into the drum set replacing the standard pedal.
Designed for rugged durability with a metal plated exterior, the Metal Pedal is a must have addition to rhythm game drum sets. The rubber feet will keep the pedal firmly in place while the pedal’s wide base provides stable footing and consistent response for a more reliable gaming experience. The Metal Pedal also features a unique splitter, allowing users to play with two pedals simultaneously, enabling them to master the most complex of songs for both games.

“We heard gamers’ plea for a sturdier, more durable foot pedal, presenting us with the opportunity to design a lasting alternative,” said Chris Arbogast, Director of Marketing at Nyko Technologies. “Our goal is always to provide value, quality and improve the overall experience and we have no doubt that the Metal Pedal will meet and exceed those goals.”
