BOSS FS-7 Compact Dual Footswitch for Momentary and ON/OFF control of your Musical Instrument FX & More | Switch Functions with your Foot | Compatible with Guitar | Keyboard | BOSS/Roland Amps & More

Best foot switch for the RC-3 looper.I tried hard to find a cheaper alternative to this but none had the RC-3's full foot switch functionality - only the stop function worked with another cheaper but still reputable product, the memory slot shift on the second button did not work.This FS-7 just works. Boss did it again I am afraid I have to admit.This pairs great with the RC-3 looper and enables foot switch enabled single-press stop function as well as shifting up and down the memory slots. I like the memory slot shift as it allows me to record single chord comping on each memory slot and then improvise, deciding ad-hoc when to switch chords.The pedal is very compact yet the two pedals are shaped smartly to just work well. I am glad I did not get the larger FS-6.Also, a fact that I read little about is that the FS-7 does actually not need to be plugged into any electricity supply in order to be fully operable with the RC-3. The momentary switch functionality required to trigger all functions for the RC-3 work without plugging in. I like this as it reduces cable clutter and also run the RC-3 from a rechargeable 9V battery. I run a wireless receiver into the RC-3 IN and a short instrument cable from the RC-3 OUT into my amp... so the RC-3/FS-7 combo is attached only to one cable that goes to the amp.

I have bought two of these from Amazon. I use one for my Boss GT-1 and I am using the other for Boss GT-100. For Boss GT-1, I have it in stomp box mode connected to my amp FX loop for chorus, flanger, delays. The FS-7 allows me to add two additional stomps. Totally fun for me to use this way, as long as you can figure out how to program the GT-1. Or if you can use it as additional CTL pedals for presets and banks to program boosts or solo presets, the FS-7 will get you there. I bought a second one for use with GT-100 and I know it will work to do the same, just haven’t had time to set it up. Works great and is an upgrade and space saver from using Boss FS-5 and FS-6. This product came with TRS cable that also connects to power, so my GT-1 and FS-7 connect to the same Boss adapter. If you like Boss GT series, you need the FS-7 to expand and explore more possibilities.

The FS-7 is much more compact than the FS-6 (which had too large of a footprint for simple switches). The FS-7 is well built and extremely sturdy- you could easily gig with this. The addition of having 'mode' and 'polarity' switches adds to it's flexibility.The FS-7 requires a power supply for the LED lights- would be nice to have a 9 volt battery option too. Lastly, the top switch is not quite as easily to step on/tap with your foot as the bottom button, but not a big dealOverall, good quality unit. Recommended.

Works well and no glitches. I have a few other switches but they aren’t too reliable with my RC600 so I just use the Boss foot pedals.

I'm using this footswitch to add some additional ways to control functions on my Boss Loop Station. The switch allows you to select whether you want to have the switch work in momentary mode or latch mode and also gives the flexibility to have each individual switch assigned either to one device or split them up (this would take an additional TRS cable). Overall I am happy with it and the only thing that would be a slight knock against it is that is built with the front being thinner than the rear making it wedge shaped (see pic). This cause me a slight issue with the bottom switch being to low if there is a pedal underneath it. It was an easy enough fix by using a wedge doorstop underneath the switch to lift the lower part up and make it level with the rest of the board and making the "B" switch accessible.

I bought this thing, and it does what it's supposed to. It's small, versatile, tough and looks cool. But I don't know if it's really worth the price they want, as there are many others out there for half the price. However, if you're a die hard BOSS/Roland fan n have to have it like me, it won't disappoint you. I don't regret buying mine, and I like it. But I believe we're paying for a name here after $50 it's the Nike switch lol.

When I'm playing my 1964 Fender Strat I don't want to be bending over flipping switches with my hand , this foot switch works great ,and it's compact , one on the pedal board ,mixer and keyboard

This is the perfect solution to have absolute control upon your boss GT1. The onboard Ctl1 does a lot but this pedal enables the ctl 2 and 3 which makes possible to distribute the assignments given by the system across three pedals. They are fully assignable. IMPORTANT: IT DOES NOT NEED BATTERIES TO WORK. I think boss does not stress this condition in the advertisement. You can use the power cable to enable the leds responds as you foot the switches, which would help in a dark stage, but you do not need to worry if you just practicing on your room. It does come with a split cable so you can use the proper gt1 power source to power the FS7 leds. Just buy it and you will love it. Very sturdy and low profile. Worths every penny.
