I am looking into buying a new single bass pedal. I want something reletively high-end, so i like the looks of the Pearl P2000B Eliminator http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Pearl-P2000B-BeltDrive-PowerShifter-Eliminator-Bass-Pedal?sku=448279 , the Iron Cobra [url] http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Tama-Iron-Cobra-Power-Glide-Single-Pedal?sku=440059[/url] , or the DW 5000AD3 Accelerator [url] http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/DW-5000AD3-Accelerator-ChainDrive-Single-Pedal?sku=443253[/url]

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Try them at guitar center.

I live in Canada
I do have other music stores to try them out in though.

i have iron cobra double pedals and they are pretty punchy and fast response. thats my opinion though.

I've played both the Iron Cobra Power Glide as well as the DW5000 Accelerator, and it all depends on what you're looking for.
I felt with the Iron Cobra Power Glide I had more power behind my hits, but the Accelerator felt a little faster and smoother to me. Both are great pedals.
Unfortunately I have no experience with the Eliminator.
If it were me I'd go with the Accelerator just because I like the speed and don't need any more power behind my kick.

The Pearl Elim is the only way to go out of those three. They're so adjustable, you can't NOT find the perfect feel in em.

I have Iron cobra and it's a great pedal! I haven't tried the others but a friend of mine tried all of those pedals and he said that the DW (DW 9000 though) is the best. But it's all about preferences, so you should try it for yourself and buy whatever suits you!

I would go for either the eliminators of the cobras since I've always felt that the 5002s are slow and clunky. I own cobras and like the feel all right but I think I am going to upgrade to some pdp b.o.a's. I have also played the eliminators and I felt like they were the lightest and fastest of these 3 but the overall feel was lacking just a little. It's best for you to try every pedal you can and pick the one that fit your feet the best.

I've played all 3, and honestly do not find the dw's to be one bit more sluggish than either the eliminators or the iron cobras. they're all camco knockoffs anyway. some of

if you're looking for fast, I'd suggest axis or trick or the pdp b.o.a. I finally played one of the b.o.a.'s recently, and I'm super sold on that design. Without a doubt the fastest pedal I've ever played.

one thing to remember with chain-and-sprocket pedals is that different sprockets make the pedal respond differently.

Go for the eliminators. They got 4 different cams, so u can have 4 distinctly different feels. Plus, you have the option to change the heaviness of the pedal, so for the money, its by far the best.

Out of those three, the Elim's.

IC's are heavvyyy and slow.

But as Alan_ said, if you're looking for fast, check out Axis, Trick of the PDP B.O.A's.

I'm in love with the B.O.A's as well, I tried in Steve's in Montreal and holy shit it was wonderful. Best pedals I've ever played.

The real difference being overlooked here is that we are now comparing direct drive pedals to chain drive, big difference. I used to play DW's loved them, but then I played Axis, and it was almost like cheating.
