BOSS FS-7 Compact Dual Footswitch for Momentary and ON/OFF control of your Musical Instrument FX & More | Switch Functions with your Foot | Compatible with Guitar | Keyboard | BOSS/Roland Amps & More

Excellent quality footswitch! One really nice feature is that you can set the switch to work as “normally open” (like most footswitches ) or for those few times you need a “normally closed” switch, this will do that too. It can also be set as “latching” or “momentary”. A very versatile footswitch, and doesn’t take a huge amount of space on your pedalboard. A few more $$ than most, but worth every penny!

I'm using this footswitch to add some additional ways to control functions on my Boss Loop Station. The switch allows you to select whether you want to have the switch work in momentary mode or latch mode and also gives the flexibility to have each individual switch assigned either to one device or split them up (this would take an additional TRS cable). Overall I am happy with it and the only thing that would be a slight knock against it is that is built with the front being thinner than the rear making it wedge shaped (see pic). This cause me a slight issue with the bottom switch being to low if there is a pedal underneath it. It was an easy enough fix by using a wedge doorstop underneath the switch to lift the lower part up and make it level with the rest of the board and making the "B" switch accessible.

Best foot switch for the RC-3 looper. I tried hard to find a cheaper alternative to this but none had the RC-3's full foot switch functionality - only the stop function worked with another cheaper but still reputable product, the memory slot shift on the second button did not work. This FS-7 just works. Boss did it again I am afraid I have to admit. This pairs great with the RC-3 looper and enables foot switch enabled single-press stop function as well as shifting up and down the memory slots. I like the memory slot shift as it allows me to record single chord comping on each memory slot and then improvise, deciding ad-hoc when to switch chords. The pedal is very compact yet the two pedals are shaped smartly to just work well. I am glad I did not get the larger FS-6. Also, a fact that I read little about is that the FS-7 does actually not need to be plugged into any electricity supply in order to be fully operable with the RC-3. The momentary switch functionality required to trigger all functions for the RC-3 work without plugging in. I like this as it reduces cable clutter and also run the RC-3 from a rechargeable 9V battery. I run a wireless receiver into the RC-3 IN and a short instrument cable from the RC-3 OUT into my amp... so the RC-3/FS-7 combo is attached only to one cable that goes to the amp.

This is the perfect solution to have absolute control upon your boss GT1. The onboard Ctl1 does a lot but this pedal enables the ctl 2 and 3 which makes possible to distribute the assignments given by the system across three pedals. They are fully assignable. IMPORTANT: IT DOES NOT NEED BATTERIES TO WORK. I think boss does not stress this condition in the advertisement. You can use the power cable to enable the leds responds as you foot the switches, which would help in a dark stage, but you do not need to worry if you just practicing on your room. It does come with a split cable so you can use the proper gt1 power source to power the FS7 leds. Just buy it and you will love it. Very sturdy and low profile. Worths every penny.

I was skeptical when ordering. I had not used this or even seen this ever. It is way smaller than I imagined. I thought no battery means we need the power plugged in always. Nope, you don't need power if you need this to do only unlatched function. There are switches for polarity and latching / unlatching. Input B can use TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) to control both foot switches and input A and B separately can do TS controlling. The foot print is the size of a regular effects pedal, it is compact and like half the size of the FS-6. I will be buying another one of these soon, if not two more. Have used it with a Boss GT-1000, and Boss Nextone amps. If you do not have power near by then the FS-6 would work. Otherwise this is great and comes with a 9 volt power split cable.

I bought this thing, and it does what it's supposed to. It's small, versatile, tough and looks cool. But I don't know if it's really worth the price they want, as there are many others out there for half the price. However, if you're a die hard BOSS/Roland fan n have to have it like me, it won't disappoint you. I don't regret buying mine, and I like it. But I believe we're paying for a name here after $50 it's the Nike switch lol.

Excelente

The FS-7 does not need 9v power to work properly. The 9v power is only necessary for the LED lights. Since there are only two switches A & B, I do not need lights to tell me which one I am using. Works perfect with my Boss RC-5 Loop Station. I bought the FS-6 the older model first. I returned it because it has to have 9v power to work correctly. Also returned it because it only works with a 9v battery and if you don't un-plug TRS cable the battery will lose it's charge.

Ottimo pedale. Boss è una garanzia di qualità e solidità. Funziona molto bene ed è estremamente compatto. L'unico problema è che nella pagina del prodotto l'immagine non è corretta.

parfait, petit bien construit et pas besoin d'alim ( visiblement c'est juste pur allumer la loupiotte rouge )

Excelente e versátil. Construção robusta e ótimo acabamento.

Cheaper copies don't to work with original Boss gear

Good
