Roland FS-5U Foot Switch

Great solid pedal from Boss,and easy to set up and use,I bought this pedal to go with my Boss RC 1 loop Station guitar pedal and it works great, would recommend 5\5

Purchased it to use with my Boss looper pedal. Built to the usual high Boss standards and works perfectly. Thoroughly recommended.

Versatile extra pedal for Boss multi-effects units. I bought this to use with an Ableton Push controller to trigger recording and it does exactly what it's supposed to. I have also used it with an RC2 loop pedal and GP-10 guitar modeller. Solidly built - which I've come to expect from Boss pedals.

Sturdy, reliable, use it for my loop station, no issues st all.

Solid pedals that just work. Use three of these for live work and, like a lot of the other BOSS products, are solid pieces of equipment.

Does the job well. Quick delivery and a good seller. Thank you.

great strong pedal used with Drum Machine

I've bought quite a few Boss pedals in my time and, the quality of ALL Boss products is FIRST CLASS... Roger James 🎸 Singer - Songwriter 🎸 Watford, England 🎶

I've been working on a personal music electronics project for months. It requires a non-latching (doesn't toggle between "on" and "off" positions with each click), momentary (only goes "on" [that's a "normally open/off" switch] or "off" [that's a "normally closed/on" switch] when you push the pedal) footswitch. I have now looked at and/or actually tested/used three different brands of such footswitches: Philmore 30-17090; Hosa FSC-502 and Boss FS-5U. All the makers have different versions of the same switch ... if you know you need a "momentary" switch, then you have to find out if the type you need is "normally open/off" or "normally closed/on." As explained below, the Boss switch eliminates that problem.The Philmore switch is the cheapest pre-fab switch I could find "out there," and comes with a basic 1/4 inch cable pre-installed. It "works," but it's like a noisy little tin can, and the guts of it are just too crude to really work effectively/consistently with any modern digital music devices. I couldn't get it to work properly/consistently with my project ... this switch is really designed for analog control of lights, ham radio mic/audio, etc.The Hosa switch is "OK," also comes with a pre-installed cable, and SHOULD work, but it's basically a glorified version of the Philmore device, designed/made a little better for use with digital music devices ... that is, the internal circuitry is better designed for that function.Then there's the Boss switch, which doesn't come with a pre-installed cable ... you'll have to provide your own. I've already been using two of these switches for years, as a controller for an Alesis SR-16 drum machine. One switch for "on/off," the second for switching between "A" and "B" patterns. They've worked so great for that purpose, I NEVER had a switch-related problem until one of them finally became so worn/glitchy that I had to replace it. That took about 10 years of regular (more than weekly) use.Inside and out, Boss is the best such device out there. The case is thick, solid aluminum with a hard rubber base, and is basically bombproof. It has modular grooves on the right and left sides that allow you to lock multiple units side-by-side, and create a "bank" of as many separate switches as you want/need. The pedal is firm and the switch action is QUIET. The design that transfers the heavier action of the pedal to the more fragile/delicate internal circuit-board push-button is the best I've seen, and the internal circuitry is specifically designed to properly interface with the highly sensitive circuitry of digital music equipment.Unlike the other two, the Boss pedal can also function as EITHER a "normally on/closed" OR "normally off/open" switch, by use of a toggle switch mounted next to the 1/4 inch input jack. This switch is simply labeled "polarity," but what it actually does is change the way the switch operates ... from "normally off/open" to "normally on/closed," and back again, so you know this one switch can easily be made to work with either type of input ... no experimenting with different model numbers.In sum, if you know you need a "momentary" footswitch, spend the extra money and buy the Boss. It's the best-designed, most durable and most reliable option out there for the price, and it will save you a lot of headaches in the long run.

Works fantastic with the boss RC1 loop station. Double clicking the loop to stop it is such a pain! This allows a solid punch out so you can hit the beat and not take away the functionality of the pedal itself with overdubbing. Easily triples my enjoyment of the RC1. Very solidly built like all Biss products.
