effects switch

Double click to turn on. Double click to turn off. Once you've got your head round that it great. Good quality and a decent length lead.

Very simple and durable

Plug and play baby! The construction is light but sturdy, feels like you can put some weight on it. Unfortunately the cable is attached so cannot be replaced but it’s insanely long and for this price there’s nothing more you can ask from it. There’s much better options for a pedalboard but by itself, works wonderfully.

Very Good and Universally Compatible

A solidly built footswitch

I bought this for one of my amps and it works great with solid construction.

It doesn't have any LED that indicate function, but it's ok, as I can tell by using my ears which channel is active.

For the price, it's great

Great value for the money, but there are better ones out there (more expensive obviously). No feedback led, and quite hard to press it down. The attached cable seems low qality as well.

Effective

It does what it should. Not the best footswitch, but a good alternative for a Marshall and for a fraction of its price.

Way too big

It does what it advertises, but it is literally a switch in a way too huge casing. I have personally just bought a small metal casing from my local hardware store, drilled a hole and put the switch inside. The switch itself functions perfectly

Switch in the box, no bells and whistles

Latching 1-pole switch in durable aluminum box with plastic sides.

Pros: Durable, simple, good cable, good price.

Cons: Molded straight jack.

For consideration: It is designed to switch amp channels (in my case it works with Fender Mustang LT 25 fine). It's not designed to be used as a tap switch or drum machine control switch.

Does the job

It does the job on my Mustang GT. Only the switch feel cheap, I hope it will last a long time.

nice switch but not working well with Roland Cube 20

I read only positive review on this switch. For the price it is really good. Feels fine, but unfortunately it is not working well with my Roland Cube 20XL. I have to push twice to change the channel, so it is working but not good when you need quickly change the channel.

It could be really written in description that it is not suitable for Roland Cube combos.

Lead Foot FS-1

This pedal does just what it's made to do. Nothing more, nothing less. I can say that it's made rock-solid and works. I miss a small LED to see if it's engaged or not.

Cheap and functional

If you need a cheap footswitch for your amp it just works.

Wouldn't use it for serious stage performances, housing is plastic and cable does not seem reliable for intense use.

I use it with a Blues Junior III, so I can assure it works with that amp.

Good for the price.

This is good for home use,I'm not sure it would stand up to regular gigging or even studio work....though in most respects its no lighter than the little vintage Fender units and many others and the enclosure,part metal with plastic sides,is similar quality to many supplied with low to mid range amps....no complaints,works fine.

Very good

It works perfect, THe jack is not a very good quality, but you always can change it if it?s broken.

Doesn't make sense pay a brand for this kind of footswich

buy it!

Perfectly serviceable unit.

I was surprised at the cost of the Marshall switches and pleased to see there was a cheaper alternative.

This is not quite as weighty as the authentic switch but does a perfectly acceptable job. The lead is a decent length, the button seems robust enough and I am happy with this purchase.

Does what it needs to!

A very simple but effective footswitch! The cheapest on offer but built to last, this is a welcome addition to my bass amp. The flex length is impressively long so this copes with different stage placings very well. I expect this to last years without needing replacement, good piece of kit

Needs to be engaged twice

I used this foot switch in my Roland Cube 30 at home.

I found out that in order to achive a change between channels you must press the button twice. Other than that it responds pretty well and it seems to be indestructible.

Simple, no frills and solid

What can you say about a footswitch? Well, this one is very solidly built but not overly heavy. It is stable under foot and does not skate around even on smooth and polished floors. The attached lead is of a sensible length and the whole package feels like it will go on for ever. There is no doubting the quality of this item.

If there is a downside at all then it would have to be that the switch itself has really quite a substantial 'click' when operated - at least you know you've pressed it.

Having the ability to switch its operation between 'toggle' and 'press to make' might have been nice.

honest foot switch

I bought this item, Lead Foot FS-1, as part of a bundle, so it costs me nothing.The foot switch consists a metal main part and of plastic side parts and of a metal button.Beyond this and considering its real price, I think that for ?9.50 it represents e real value for money item. Recomended implicitly.

Cheap Footswitch

I needed a simple Footswitch for my Marshall Valvestate 65. There are many very expensive original Marshall Footswitchs but what do you need? Just one thing to switch between your two channels. I don't need a new box with the name Marshall on it.

This one is cheap and does what it has to do. It switches between to channels. OK the used material is not metal like the Marshall footswitchs. It is plastic, but it doesn't look cheap. The switching is a bit too loud but you can turn your amp a bit louder!

It has a very sturdy box so it's stage proof.

The only thing that's the best is the short cable.
