The FS-6 is not just a footswitch; it's a versatile tool designed to revolutionize your live performances and recordings. It features two robust footswitches, each configurable for latching or momentary operation, providing you with the flexibility to tailor your gear control to your unique musical style. Want to switch on an effect or change the amp channel? Assign the switch to latch mode. Need to activate the tuner or tap tempos only while pressed? Go for the momentary mode.

If your device has a footswitch input, the FS-6 will give you control over it.

Designed for the stage, this footswitch is enclosed in a rugged metal housing, ready to withstand the rigors of touring and live performances. It operates on a single 9V battery, so no need for a power supply; the FS-6 is ready to roll right out of the box.

Do-it-all, times two!

Take two FS-5 footswitches, weld them together and add an option for "latch" and "non latch" operation for each pedal. Yes, you got it, this covers every need you can come up to. And it's sturdy and reliable too. Good solid pedal, it requires a 9V battery to operate. No connection to a power supply, though. If you want o use one, you'll have to work your way around the 9V connector. It's the only negative point to this pedal...

I makes the RC-1 looper useable

I bought it a long time ago, when I was starting playing the electric guitar as an addition to my Boss Katana 50 combo amplifier. But I understood, that I have never actually used it. Later, when I have bought my first looper - the RC-1. I have suddenly spotted that in the looper was an input for the footswitch. That was the moment where I understood it's usefulness. So, if you want to used it with your amp, go ahead. If you want a looper, don't be an idiot like me and buy the RC-30.

Enough to switch

Use with my 50w Katana MKII. It's good for it. If you have a katana you should at least get this.

Great switch

You have the option to turn things on with one click or hold down to turn on effect. I use this with my Roland Jazz Chorus 40 to activate the Chorus and Reverb.
