BOSS

collapse expand iconDescription

Boss, the pioneering leaders in guitar pedals and footswitches, now offers the FS-6 Dual Footswitch. This innovative footswitch puts unprecedented control over your tone and effects at your feet. With two sturdy footswitches in a compact, road-ready enclosure, the FS-6 allows each switch to be configured for latching or momentary operation. Connect using a single stereo cable and take command over a myriad of pedals, amps and other gear.

Dual Footswitches Offer Custom Control

The FS-6 features two footswitches, each of which can be assigned latching or momentary operation. Set each footswitch to your desired mode depending on how you want to activate and deactivate your effects or amp channels. Latching switches will change states with each press, allowing you to turn an effect on or off, while momentary switches are only active while pressed, ideal for tap tempo or tuner functions. With two footswitches, the combinations are endless.

Universal Compatibility

The FS-6 can be used with nearly any brand of effects pedals, amps, keyboards, synthesizers and more. If a device has a footswitch input, the FS-6 will provide control over it. Guitar players can switch between overdrive and chorus pedals, change amp channels, activate tuners and tap tremolos. Keyboard players can change programs, start and stop sequencers, enable arpeggiators and tap tempos. With so much gear relying on footswitch control, the FS-6 is an essential tool for any performing musician.

Road-Ready and Reliable

Housed in a rugged metal enclosure, the FS-6 is built to withstand the rigors of stage use and touring. Its compact size takes up minimal space on your pedalboard or stage. Powered by a single 9V battery, the FS-6 requires no power supply and is ready to use right out of the box. For years of reliable service, look no further than Boss—a brand synonymous with tough, professional-grade gear.

FS-5U times 2!!!

Boss FS-6 Footswitch is a great item. It is sturdy and well built (I have dropped it a few times and it works fine). The pedals are very responsive. I bought it for a Cube 60 amp along with a FS-5U. I have found these pedals quite useful with my Jazz Chorus and as a keyboard pedal. I have them for well over 2 years and it still looks and works like I just took it out of the box. A very nice item and well worth the money.

Needs an Off Switch

It works fine while I'm using it, but I can't tell you how many batteries I've drained by accidentally leaving it plugged in because it can't take an external power supply. It's got four different switches on the back, and not one of them is for power. The only way to turn it off to save the battery is to unplug it, and doing so usually triggers whatever I'm controlling, which is very annoying. If you're planning to have it permanently plugged into something, buy something else.

    Will it still function if the battery dies?  I know the lights won't work, but will it still switch?
