Description

Edit description

The Crate CFS-2 Metal Footswitch is a robust tool for guitarists who need reliable control over their amplifier's channel switching. Designed specifically for use with Crate amplifiers, this footswitch offers seamless connectivity and durable construction, ensuring that you can rely on it during intense performances. Housed in a rugged metal casing, the CFS-2 is built to withstand the rigors of regular gigging and rehearsals, providing consistent performance night after night.

This footswitch features two sturdy, easy-to-press foot pedals that allow you to switch between channels with precision, giving you the flexibility to shape your sound on the fly. Whether you're transitioning from clean tones to overdrive or engaging special effects, the CFS-2 ensures your sound remains exactly as you intend. The non-slip rubber base keeps it firmly in place, even on slippery stages, while the straightforward design means you'll spend less time setting up and more time playing.

Key Features:

Dual pedal design for channel switching
Compatible with Crate amplifiers
Rugged metal construction for enhanced durability
Non-slip rubber base for stability
Reliable, straightforward operation

Crate CFS-2

This is a great footswitch to switch back and fourth from channels, I like to use this for songs that switch between both channels during each riff.
