Featuring a durable metal build, a bright LED status indicator, and universal 1/4-inch phone connectors, it offers seamless compatibility with guitars, keyboards, and BOSS/Roland amplifiers.

## Description

BOSS offers two types of sturdy metal footswitches for different applications. The FS-5U (silver) is a momentary "unlatch"-type footswitch, and the FS-5L (black) is a latch-type footswitch with an LED to indicate status. Both footswitches can be connected using ordinary guitar cables. Please consult your owner's manual for compatibility.

Review: Wish I would have known this sooner - This little device has been a game changer. We have the Electro Voice Evolve EV50M system. I read in a forum that I could use this foot pedal to toggle on/off the reverb/delays used for our vocals when we speak between songs, and it it works perfectly. We use a 10ft 1/4 inch instrument cable between the pedal plugin on the EV50M system and just plug it in to this foot pedal. When it is lit, vocal effects are on, when not lit, the vocal effects are off. Simple as that. Just tap on it with your foot. Before, we had to hit the mute button on our ipad to mute the vocal effects. This works so much better ... and it is not noticeable at all from the audience when turning the effects on and off. 5 BiG stars.
Review: Good quality footswitch for subwoofer control - I have a set of Adam Audio T series monitor speakers in my studio. One of the features of the subwoofer is that you can control its on/off status with a footswitch. This allows you to switch the subwoofer in and out of the mix while you are reviewing your output. This footswitch works very well for that purpose and I am very happy with the product. It has enough weight that it stays in place and you don't have to worry about it getting lost under the console.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have!
*by A***R on December 18, 2025*

I bought this for my Blues Cube, and I could not be without it. Wish the amp came with this and a cover, but had to buy both separately. This switches between the clean channel and the crunch channel. This is vital during a live gig. I hardly use my overdrive pedal now. And all you need is a standard 1/4 inch cable.
