PedalMonster Devours the Commander

Performance enthusiasts can’t scroll through their Facebook feed without seeing ads for the Pedal Commander. But just because the Turkish-based throttle booster company knows how to place ads on social media, doesn’t mean their device is safe. One example of this is Michael Gaither and his Camaro. “I have a 2020 Chevy Camaro 2SS 1LE with a 6sp manual transmission. I can’t say what the Pedal Commander would do on an automatic, but it was really glitchy on my car.” 

“One of the things that stood out to me was that it didn’t know what gear I was in, so it didn’t have any idea when it was in reverse. It was like full-throttle backing up! The box had no idea that the car was in reverse because it’s not connected to OBD. But for some reason, it would go max pedal sensitivity in reverse. I’d be backing out of the supermarket parking lot and all of a sudden it was in the highest setting. It was super dangerous. On top of that, my drive wasn’t all that fun because it made the car herky-jerky, bucking at certain RPMs.”

“After six months of dealing with the Pedal Commander, I saw a video about the Banks PedalMonster. I watched Gale go through everything, and his wording and examples made more sense. When I switched to the PedalMonster it was a completely different experience. Clearly the Pedal Commander never knew what gear the car was in, but the Banks does. The power curves are super smooth and responsive, making the car an absolute blast to drive. Pressing the pedal and knowing the sensitivity is going to be consistent makes driving so much more fun.”
