Foot Switch

A robust foot switch with many areas of application. Many keyboard players will use it as a sustain pedal, but since most effects pedals these days can be used more effectively when used in conjunction with an additional switch, other people - such as guitarists - can also put this product to good use. Consider the tap function of various delays, where pressing the button several times can adapt the delay time to the exact tempo of the song.

  • 6.3 mm mono jack socket
  • Switchable polarity
  • Pluggable cable
  • Dimensions (L x W x H): 95 x 89 x 50 mm

Get your foot on!

I bought this pedal for my ableton push, since the push uses an inverted polarity I needed something that had that function as a switch, and this one did the trick most certainly!

The pedal itself is good and firmly built, thanks to rubber pads on the back it will stay strongly on the ground you place it and doesnt slip or slide even the slightest!

The edges are a little sharp and I've almost hurt myself a couple of times while holding it so be careful!

But in total this is a very good pedal indeed and would recommend you buying it because of it's incredible portability and the polarity switch which renders it useful for pretty much anything with an input for sustain pedals!

Poor craftsmanship
Funeral Musician 03.01.2024
Given BOSS's legendary reputation, I am sure that it is a wonderful product that would have served me many years — perhaps, even decades — but it was ruined by poor craftsmanship. Even though it seemed robust, just like all the other BOSS pedals I have owned over the years, and even though the action of the switch felt great, I decided to return it due to a multitude of cosmetic defects present all over the product. However, since I liked the functionality of the item, I chose to try my luck again. Unfortunately, the second pedal had some defects too. Not wanting to give up, the third time I ordered two, hoping that at least one of them would be free from similar defects. Sadly, both were not. In total, four pedals in a row had very poor craftsmanship. The defects included minor scratches all over the surfaces, stains and molding marks on the rubber bottom, chipped corners on the aluminum parts, the switch screwed to the top at an angle, some kind of glue residue at one of the screws, crooked serial number stickers, and so on. I could have tolerated one or maybe even two such defects on a pedal, but not three or more, especially considering the exorbitant price of this very basic pedal with such simple circuitry inside it. The only explanation for such disappointing craftsmanship I was able to come up with was that these might be made in a different factory where quality control is not as strict as in the factory that makes the other pedals. BOSS have ruined their reputation in my eyes...
