A Sustain Pedal is just a momentary switch. If it has a 6.3 mm (telephone) jack all is fine. Just take one you like Smile If it has another polarity (closed instead of opened) there is a setting which configures it into a useful one; in fact, this setting can be used as a Sustain (Hold).

Basically, any will do, but I recommend the Korg PS-1. I have one and it's great.

I also have a cheap Roland DP2 and a Yamaha FC-3 that came with my P80 digital piano. The Roland is crap. It has a plastic case and it's too light and keeps moving all the time, plus it feels like one may break it if you step on it too hard. The Yamaha is ok, but also a bit light and moves a bit.

The Korg, on the other hand, is relatively heavy for its size. Metal case with rubber on the top. Feels much stronger and stays in place.

Manual NordLead3 - Page 20 wrote:
USING A SUSTAIN PEDAL
A foot switch connected to the SUSTAIN PEDAL input works like a sustain pedal on a piano. Set it up as follows:

1. Press the SYNTH button and then the DOWN NAVIGATOR button till the DISPLAY reads ‘Sustain Pedal’.
2. Change sustain pedal polarity between ‘Open’ (open when pressed) and ‘Closed’ (closed when pressed) with the ROTARY DIAL.
3. Exit by pressing the SYNTH button.

Nord Lead 3 will also send and receive Sustain Pedal messages via MIDI (CC# 64).
Note: You can choose to enable/disable the Sustain Pedal function separately for each Slot. This is especially useful when you are creating a Performance and only want some Slots to respond to sustain.

Manual NordLead3 - Page 116 – Active Device wrote:
Active Device

To the right of the PITCH STICK (above the Morph Assign buttons on the Nord Rack 3) is the Active Device function. In this section you can choose to disable certain physical (and MIDI) controllers from affecting the sound. This is a great function when you play layered sounds with several Slots selected like in a Performance, for example. The Active Device settings are also saved with Performances.

P.STICK, S.PEDAL+HOLD AND WHEEL SELECTOR

You can choose to disable the PITCH STICK, the SUSTAIN PEDAL + HOLD and/or the MODULATION WHEEL functions. Press the SELECTOR button to select/deselect functions. To disable/enable MODULATION WHEEL, hold down SHIFT and press the SELECTOR button.

Tip! This function can be very useful in multi Slot Performances when you want to control, for example, pitch bend of a sound in one Slot but not in another. Or when you want the Hold function to affect only specific sounds in the layer.
