However, common pedal controllers are connected to the electro-acoustic musical instrument audio equipment by physical cables. Due to the length of the cable, the placement of each device is often limited in actual use and cannot be moved at will. There are usually multiple performance equipment on the stage, and each device needs to be connected. The multiple cables are complicated to lay out, increasing the risk of performers tripping.

[0003] In recent years, the technology of wireless connection between pedal controllers and electronic musical instrument audio devices has begun to emerge. Compared with the wired connection method, wireless connection greatly increases the range of activities of performers. The location of each device can be flexibly placed according to the performer's playing habits. Wireless connection makes the stage cleaner and tidier, and improves the safety of the performance. However, the existing wireless connection method still has the following problems: the electronic musical instrument audio device can only be connected to one pedal control device at a time. When other pedal control devices need to be connected, the connection with the current pedal control device must be disconnected before connecting to other pedal control devices. In actual use, users often need to interrupt the performance to set up, which reduces the continuity of the performance.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to design an improved wireless cascade pedal system that can communicate with an audio device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] In addition, it should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.

[0021] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model provides a wireless cascade pedal system, including at least one wirelessly connected pedal, wherein at least one pedal includes a wireless transmitting module and a wireless receiving module, and the pedals can be connected to each other through the wireless transmitting module and the wireless receiving module, wherein a single pedal can be directly connected to an audio device for communication, and can also be connected to the audio device for communication after the pedals are wirelessly connected.

[0022] In this embodiment, the cascade pedals include two groups of pedals, the front-stage pedal 1 includes a wireless transmitting module and a wireless receiving module, the rear-stage pedal 4 only includes a wireless transmitting module, and the audio device includes a wireless receiving module. The audio device can be connected to the front-stage pedal 1 or the rear-stage pedal 4 separately to receive pedal instructions, or it can be first connected to the front-stage pedal 1, and the front-stage pedal 1 is connected to the rear-stage pedal 4 to receive pedal instructions. At this time, the instructions of the rear-stage pedal 4 are transmitted to the audio device through the front-stage pedal 1.

[0023] Those skilled in the art should understand that the number of cascade pedals can be set according to the needs of the performer and is not limited thereto. When there are more than two groups of pedals, except for the pedals at the last stage, the pedals at other stages must be equipped with wireless transmitting modules and wireless receiving modules for connection between the pedals at each stage.

[0024] Furthermore, the pedal includes at least one switch module, and the switch module is in the form of a pedal plate and / or a pedal nail.

[0025] In this embodiment, the front-stage pedal 1 is in the form of a pedal plate, including a pedal plate 2. The rear-stage pedal 4 is in the form of a stepping nail, including four stepping nails 5. Of course, it can also be selected according to actual conditions, including pedals in the form of both a pedal plate and a stepping nail.

[0026] Furthermore, the pedal includes at least one indicator light module for indicating the power status / charging status / pedal pairing status / pedal working status.
