What is PedalMonster?
What is PedalMonster?

Why you need it

PedalMonster improves your vehicle's off-the-line launch and mid-range punch, nailing you like a cup of black coffee. Launching, merging, and passing become effortless.

How it works

PedalMonster combines your driver input with real-time data from your vehicle's sensors and ECM to speed up torque delivery.

How you use it

First, get on the highway and choose from one of 30 Master Torque Response Curves to achieve your desired mid-range punch. Then, return to stop-and-go traffic, and check out your off-the-line launch. Breaking tires loose? Dial it down with one of 5 Launch Trim levels.

It's safer

Banks Active Safety® monitors for any faults within the system, returning to stock torque delivery if an issue is detected. This prevents trouble codes, limp mode, and dead pedal. Additionally, Reverse Safety returns you to stock, preventing unintended acceleration in reverse. No one else has these features.

Why it's better

  • More responsive and predictable torque delivery
  • Launch Trim optimizes low-speed torque
  • Uses real-time powertrain data
  • Uses reliable, fused 12v power
  • Returns vehicle to stock when reversing
  • No check engine lights or dead pedal

Key Features

  • 30 Master Torque Response Curves
  • 5 levels of speed-based Launch Trim
  • Bi-directional vehicle data via OBD
  • ActiveSafety® failsafe system
  • Reverse Safety®
  • Powered by reliable 12v via OBD
  • Plug-and-play
  • Warranty friendly. Does not leave footprint.
  • US Patent 10,933,885 B1

Torque Response Curves

PedalMonster improves take-off and mid-range punch by reshaping your vehicle's torque delivery with smooth multi-point curves and predictable throttle feel. Choose between 30 selectable Torque Response Curves: High Torque, Midrange, and High Performance, each with 10 curves.

Pedal Commander

By comparison, Pedal Commander and all other throttle controller boxes rely on a single point with an abrupt knee you can feel through your throttle input. This makes part-throttle drivability twitchy, difficult to modulate, and causes your transmission to hunt for gears.

Launch Trim

If you've selected an aggressive Master Torque Response Curve for maximum mid-range punch, but find it too aggressive at low speeds, choose from 5 levels of Launch Trim to soften torque delivery below 10 mph.

Control Interfaces

Configure, control, and monitor PedalMonster with the Banks mobile app for iDash Pro®.
Mobile App
iDash Pro®

Torque Response Curves and Launch Trim levels can be changed on-the-fly without stopping the vehicle allowing you to adapt your torque response to your driving environment.

How PedalMonster Improves a Tune

While a tuner can adjust the relationship between your accelerator pedal and the way the vehicle delivers its torque, it’s a one and done sort of adjustment. The end user has no way to change this variable after the tune is loaded into the vehicle’s ECM.

PedalMonster works independently of anything going on inside your ECM. It modifies the signal from your pedal before it ever goes into the computer, allowing you a lot more freedom to change torque delivery to suit your preferences and your situation in real-time via the Banks mobile app or iDash.

  • PedalMonster works with your vehicles custom tune
  • PedalMonster has 30 Master Torque Response Curves, your tuner can only give you one.
  • 5 levels of Launch Trim allow low-speed adjustment.
  • PedalMonster knows speed and gear, a custom tune dosen't.

OBD 2-Way Communication

PedalMonster's connection to your vehicle's onboard diagnostics (OBD) port provides real-time two-way powertrain data and a fused, stable 12v power source.

OBD data enables exclusive features like Launch Trim and Reverse Safety

Using 12v from OBD prevents check engine lights and dead pedal situations that occur when power is drawn from the 5v pedal circuit. Nearly all competitors are guilty of drawing from this low-overhead circuit.

"We're shaking hands with the ECM to monitor torque production and when it happens. Nobody else does that." -Gale Banks

Safety

PedalMonster features two safety systems: Banks Active Safety® and Reverse Safety

Active Safety® watchdog circuitry returns the vehicle to stock torque delivery in the unlikely event of an issue, preventing trouble codes, limp mode, and dead pedal.

Reverse Safety returns your vehicle to stock torque response, preventing you from accidentally backing through your garage door. Both safety systems are patented.

Competitors

PedalMonster is unlike throttle response controllers like Pedal Commander and others that rely on rudimentary manipulation of pedal position. PedalMonster utilizes real-time powertrain data to calibrate torque delivery. Competitors have no such connectivity or safety features, treating all vehicles and situations the same.

Reviews

Easy to install

"Cool product, definitely makes the truck more fun to drive but it doesn’t have any other features. Would be nice to get past the torque limiters and the top speed limit. You end up realizing you have to tune the truck to really have fun but for the price and the simplicity it’s cool"

— Sean R. (3/5)

Banks pedal commander

"The effectivity and power this thing brings is amazing I absolutely feel immediate changes with different modes. This accompanied with everything banks provides makes my 2500 6.7 cummins is alive and much better fuel efficiency. Thank you Banks"

— Jason E. (5/5)

Pedal monster

"Wow, what a difference this has add on, has done to my car I have really been enjoying it every day it’s to me. It’s amazing. I would recommend this definitely to anyone that’s wanting to relive the old days with their hot rods just by that little pedal monster it’ll bring some of that life back to you anyway awesome product thank you Banks Performance"

— Micheal C. (5/5)

Pedal Monster

"I bought the Pedal Monster to compliment a few other modifications that I have on my 2021 Toyota 4 runner. It’s been a great addition and I’m very pleased with the results. Wish that you all would develop a performance chip for my vehicle! I will definitely end up purchasing the electronic gauge package that corresponds with the pedal Monster at some point. I have attached a pic of my 4 runner. Thanks Mike Chart"

2026 F250 7. 3

"I spent a ton of money on a sweet truck with a fat motor and I expected some performance. I ended up with a whole lot of pedal lag and I thought the transmission could shift better. I did a little bit of research and it looked like the pedal monster was the cure. The first time I took it for a ride after the install it put a big ole smile on my face. This is what’s missing on these trucks. I would highly recommend the Banks Pedal Monster."

— James H. (5/5)

Pedal Monster on a 2022 F250 7.3 Godzilla

"I installed a Pedal Monster on my 2022 F250 7.3 Godzilla. Easy to install and it made a huge difference in throttle response. Towing and around town it feels much quicker. By far the best improvement I've made to this truck."

— Robert R. (5/5)

Ram 2500 pedal monster

"Love the torque settings and launch. What a difference. With all my Banks additions monster ram cold air and boost tubes idash pro and pedal monster 23. 7 mpg on a 5500 mile two week trip from Oregon to Minnesota to New Mexico and back to Oregon. Tranny pan also."

— Troy O. (5/5)

Awesome product

"What an awesome upgrade for my Honda Ridgeline. Prior to putting the pedal monster on, my Ridgeline was so anemic. Now it's actually aligned with my efforts and expectations. There's not been a demonstrable change in the gas mileage for me. Highly recommend that for anybody else that has a Ridgeline."

— JOE R. (5/5)

Great Product

"setup was a little tedious due to having to reset multiple times but other than that it works perfectly and changed the performance of the truck drastically. i have only used it in street mode 6 and 8 but the difference from stock is so much better. i only wish banks could do something about gm's adaptive driving programming BULLS**T*."

— Charles P. (5/5)

Improves throttle response tremendously

"Installation was fairly simple. Getting the app running was easy. Tuning the module took a few tries, but once dialed in to my taste, I haven't touched it. I'm very happy with the results, the throttle is much more responsive and the pedal mushiness is gone. Downshifts are very predictable now, touch the pedal starting up a hill and the transmission downshifts immediately. Gas mileage so far is unaffected."

— Richard C. (5/5)
