Boss FS-6 Dual Foot Pedal / Footswitch

The Boss FS-6 is a dual footswitch designed to provide flexible control for musicians and audio professionals. It combines the functionality of both latch-type (like the FS-5L) and momentary-type (like the FS-5U) footswitches into a single, compact unit. Each of its two switches can be independently configured to operate in either latch mode, which toggles an effect on and off with each press, or momentary mode, which only activates an effect while the switch is held down. This dual-mode capability makes it adaptable to a wide range of playing styles and technical setups, from switching guitar amp channels and engaging effects pedals to controlling rhythm machines and other electronic devices. The unit is constructed with robust Boss durability, featuring two standard footswitches side-by-side. Key technical features include a stereo input jack that allows connection using a single stereo cable, simplifying setup and reducing cable clutter. It can also be connected to other compatible footswitches such as the FS-5L, FS-5U, another FS-6, or the AB-2 for expanded control options. Power is supplied by a standard 9V battery (either carbon 6F22 or alkaline 6LR61), with a maximum current draw of 8 mA. The design prioritises reliability and ease of use in live performance and studio environments. This footswitch is ideally suited for guitarists, keyboard players, and electronic musicians who require hands-free control over their gear. Its compatibility extends to any instrument, amplifier, or device equipped with control input jacks designed for FS-5L or FS-5U footswitches. Whether used to switch between clean and distorted amp channels, activate a looper pedal, or trigger samples, the FS-6 integrates seamlessly into a pedalboard or studio setup, offering professional-grade switching in a straightforward, no-nonsense package.
