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®.

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

Gale Banks is the Man

"I’ve used Pedal Commander in many vehicles over the years. Going all Banks in my new 2026 GMC 3500HD. So far love the Throttle Monster and iDash combo. Also install the Monster Exhaust and I’m waiting on delivery of the CAI. Very happy with the products, instruction and support."

— Carl D. (5/5)

Pure Awesomeness!

"Completely satisfied. This has truly woken up my 4th Gen Ram 2500 Hemi and completely eliminated the awful squishy pedal it has stock. No more lag when merging or passing causing the truck to drastically downshift and Rev spike. No more hunting for just a touch of throttle on long inclines making maintaining a steady speed impossible. Perfectly solid and smooth throttle response. This is exactly how these trucks should have shipped from the factory. Thanks for a great product!!!"

— Dan P. (5/5)

Get a neck brace!

"Easy install. Noticeable difference! Literally, first time I almost got whiplash. My only small complaint, and it's all on me, is the fact that I didn't pull the trigger on the dash display. I'm only using the phone app and it's super cool. Slick. But... I don't want to run my phone the entire time I'm being entertained by the graph on the screen."

— Javier R. (5/5)

Transmormative. 10/10.

"Completely transformed my 3rd gen Tacoma (v6). I was on the fence between this and the OTT tune but tried this first because i wanted to be ablt to make changes for different driving conditions on the fly (snow, dirt, etc…) and I absolutely no longer want the tune. This *solves* the entire issue with the v6 Tacoma not wanting to give you the power its got without burying the pedal. High performance level 5 is the sweet spot where you get instant power delivery and quick downshifts without the truck feeling twitchy. Ill drop it down to stock for ice and snow but for everything else high performance 5 is the absolute perfect spot."

— Christopher G. (5/5)

Works great but no reverse safety

"2026 Honda Passport. The Pedal Monster significantly improved the throttle behavior -- the dead spot at initial throttle is gone and the power curve is completely different now -- there's power when and where I want it now. I just wish the 2026 Passport could have the reverse protection (can't remember what it's called)"

— Brian H. (4/5)

Game Changer

"The PedalMonster changed everything. From towing to getting around town it has everything I was looking for. Well done Banks! file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/dd/13/50445F06-95B1-4EE9-A5C2-8DE33D6B6B81/IMG_8915. HEIC"

— Brandon R. (5/5)

A smile is an understatement

"I had a 2019 SD 6.7 and now a 2022 6.7. All these years I never realized how bad the throttle response was until I drove my wife's turbo car. Pedal monster is a game changer. Living in mountains with a steep grade daily. Truck used to bog down and hunt for gears going up grade. No more! Smooth steady climb. Zero effort on gas pedal now. Now it feels like I'm holding it back!"

— Chris L. (5/5)

Pedal Monster

"I just received mine, and wow, wasn’t expecting it to work this well lol. Takes the pedal delay out completely, now my truck runs how it should. My truck feels way faster! Amazing product 10/10 recommend trying it out. Definitely won’t be disappointed."

— Tristan S. (5/5)

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)

Amazing

"Great product, my Jeep feels alive. My only concern is that I can not enable reverse safety. Possibly because I drive a manual. The pedal monster has a transmission setting but I’m not sure of its impact as I switched the setting back forth hoping to get reverse safety and did not notice a difference. Overall, no complaints and hopefully an update can unlock that feature for me."

Q&A

2019 diesel sprinter. IOPedal offers a high idle option, the only reason I would pick over your Monster. Can the Monster be configured to run a hi idle? I have an auxiliary alternator that will charge my house battery, 600AH, and it would take over 1200watts of solar to keep it fully charged. Not that much room on the roof. 20 minutes of driving would do the same thing! So, two reasons for a tuner/pedal controller: getting up to freeway speed a little faster and high idle for charging at the campsite without driving away. BTW, high idle on the sprinter, is it safe?
PedalMonster is only a throttle sensitivity controller it will not control or adjust a high idle switch.
