Il est assez long et solide

Un outil solide et simple. La longueur de cable est importante et rend le placement de ce footswitch flexible.

La qulité du cable est bonne, il est pari pour durer.

Does what it says on the tin...

This footswitch serves one sole purpose on my Blues Jr amp and that is to switch the 'Fat' channel in and out. If you prefer leaving that button in one position or the other then this switch may be pointless, but if you like kicking the switch in and out during solos/lead parts etc then it serves a good purpose, obviously! Worth noting that I bought it originally 2 years ago and with light but regular use it's still holding up very well. A good little "expansion" to the Blues Jr amp's capability, having some tonal control at your feet is very nice indeed.

Cool little footswitch

This footswitch allows you to engage and disengage the fat switch on your Fender Blues Junior. There is no light to tell you if it's on or off, so you need to listen or remember, although either way that is fairly easy to do! The Fat Switch does pretty much what it says - adds fatness, and, to my ears, some mid-boost. I think it is slightly over-priced for what it is, but it does look good, and it is very handy indeed if you're playing live. However, as the Blues Junior costs around £465, I think it should perhaps be included with the amp as standard.

A simple footswitch

The Fender Footswitch Junior is a simple footswitch that offers to control a useful feature of your amp with your foot. I use mine to turn the FAT-Switch of my Fender Blues Junior III amp on and off. But you can also use this pedal with other amplifiers. I do also own a Fender Mustang II and I'm able to switch between two presets with a stomp at the footswitch.

In fact, it's only a simple switch with a wire to connect it with your amp. Maybe there are cheaper possibilities out there to get the job of this item done. But if you like the vintage look of this pedal you'll be happy with it.

I gave two stars less at "features", because it's overpriced for what it does.

The ultimate simple boost

I've been a big fan of the Fender Blues Junior amp for a long time. It is a mystery why Fender don't include this part as standard though. I, like many users, find the fat boost tone invaluable to thicken up the tone during lead breaks and solos. One hit of the button and it is job done. I liked the retro stylings of this product but this comes at a price - there is no LED light so you have to remember whether you are on or off. You get used to that and just use your ears but I found at early gigs I'd be testing it inbetween songs which doesn't always look the best. On balance a superb addition to the Blues Jr amp

Nice footswitch.

Very nice size footswitch. I really like the fact that the switch is the highest part of this. The only thing it's lacking is an indicator LED light to let you know if the pedal is turned on or not. Apart from that I love it.
