As an solo Accordionist with usually two or three gigs a week, I was really excited to finally have the Ketron FS 13 footswitch. For many years I was using the Ketron FS 6 footswitch which was a sturdy, robust piece of equipment.
The FS 13 is a high quality piece of engineering which will give the user many years of reliable service. It will withstand the daily tests that musician's require of their gear.
My Ketron footswitch has been dropped and dragged unintentionally of course, but has always survived.
Pros: Sturdy construction..., no movement during performances due to the four high quality rubber feet...very positive and distinctive switching between the thirteen switches...compact enough to fit in my cable box...it's reasonably priced for a good quality item.
Cons: The cable at the rear of the unit could be a problem over time if the user doesn't take care to protect it when packing or unpacking it after use. Attaching a cable clip to the chassis of the FS 13 to stop the cable straining would be a sure way of reducing that problem.
All in all I have no hesitation recommending the Ketron FS 13. It's my experience that it will give the user many years of reliable service.
