It's a switch in a box

Well it work, has a long enough lead for my needs, so there isn't really much more to say - absolute bargain for the price compare to OEM Marshall/Fender/Vox....well pleased with mine.

Does the job

Bought this wee unit so I could switch in and out the 'Boost' control on a vintage Gallien-Krueger 400rb bass amp...works perfectly! Recommended!

Use it with a Roland Cube

We use it with a Roland cube as a food switch. Have to press it press twice to switch the modeling proc. on or off but works good.

Cheap but works

Quality is quite cheap, super light, feels cheap, but it works. For that price is the best choice for practicing or gigs in bars.

Good value

Bought this to replace a simple channel change footswitch for my GK bass head which got lost or nicked. It's compact and robust and does it's job very well. Yes the sides are plastic and it's not very heavy, but it switches smoothly without a lot of noise, and if you don't want to dance on it or play football with it between numbers, then at this price and for this quality, put up with a bit of plastic and save your cash.

Good footswitch, but keep in mind what is is latching footswitch and not momentary.

Does the job nice simple rugged switch.

I'm currently using it as a latching footswitch for talk-back on my Mackie big knob and it works great.

A switch. In a box you can step on. On the floor.

One feature: A switch. A good one!

Used in practice rooms and live, plugged in a valve guitar head, this footswitch is a little champ. It is lighter than Marshall footswitches, heavier than those Fender plasticky li'l switches. Weight comes both as a Pro and Con (see below)

Pros? Light, durable switch, nice long cable, easy to operate, just the right height. The force and movement needed to switch is just right, while tactile feedback of switching is unmistakeable in the foot of the operator. Really nice footswitch that player can completely rely on.

Cons? Well, compared to an ancient Marshall footswitch, this weights is only about 1/3 of the weight Marshall has. Meaning - easy to carry, but also easy to inadvertedly kick about the stage if you are a wild one (you know if you are). Those timid, mild and moderately wild among us will find no problems using it.

Very Good for the job

I wanted a footswitch to turn on the fat switch one and I have to say it does the job perfectly. It seems very sturdy and the button feels nice and works perfectly. The overall quality of the product is good and it must one of the cheapest on the market.

Perfect!

For this price - unbeatable

Plain simple footswitch, quite well made. Body is some sort of alloy, sideplates are plastic. Switch itself is operating well, clicks just like it should. I use it to switch on the reverb on the Laney Cub head. My only criticizm is that cable is not interchangable. In case if you are not touring musician, it should last for ages. But, still, for the 10 euros it's a steal.

Great little switch

Not often you hear cheap and good quality in the same sentence meaning, but this little pedal is both. Feels sturdy and "does what it says on the tin". I got it to switch the spring reverb on/off on my HH K50 and it does the job perfectly. Buy one, you wont regret it.

Gets the job done for less cash.

It has always amazed me that a simple, one button footswitch from some manufacturers cost me as much as some effects boxes with much more complex circuitry AND a footswitch in them.

Not so with the Leadfoot FS-1. I needed a single-button switch to turn my reverb in my amp on and off. I didn't have to overpay for for it.

Case closed.

Pro:

Value for money

Sturdy steel construction

Cord seems high quality and is long enough for my needs

Cons:

Permanently attached cable- the switch looks like it could last 30 years. Molded-end cables usually last 5 years. ( If the cable goes, I'll mod the enclosure with a Switchcraft jack, so that I can use any spare guitar cable of any length. That'll get me through the other 25 years...)
