Lead Foot FS-1 5-stars Reviews

Great for my needs

I use it as a footswitch for the over drive on my fender rumble bass amp. Works a treat. Unit is sturdy but the lead looks like it'll be the thing to eventually go. For the cheap price tho and with correct handling I'll get a few years gigging out of it for pennies. Works nice to use the gain channel almost clean and just use the volume as a boost. An led would be nice but hey ho still good.

Works fine on a Fender Blues Junior

This is a simple one button switch that does the job of a single button pedal just fine, without any fanciness. It does the job on my Fender Blues Junior to turn the fat switch on. There is no led light, but neither does the original fender switch, which cost a lot more to do the same job.

It also works on my BOSS loop pedal which works with a one button BOSS switch at a fraction of the BOSS' price.

There is also a nice, lengthy cable with a jack to hook it up with, already attached to it.

Great Device

I bought this foot switch to use with the Fender Mustang II as it was way cheaper (and look more resilient) than the original one-button fender foot switch. It worked straight out of the box.

The build quality is very good, the casing is made of some light metal finished with hard plastic on the sides. The cable is very long and seems of decent quality.

The mechanical switch feels great and of very high quality.

I am very impress with the build quality overall. The foot switch is very stable, looks durable and it is strong enough to take it around to gigs and rehearsals.

A great foot switch for very little money. Definitely worth buying it.

Great for Mustang ii

As the title says brought this instead of the Fender switch.

Appears solid and works perfectly with the mustang amp and is around a third of the price. Silent operation no noise passing through the amp and looks like it will last a long time

no contest i'd buy this again

Great value/price

Simple, rock-solid built, it does perfectly its job, at a negligible price.

I suggest it to everyone looking for a live or home/studio reliable switch pedal.

Simple and do the job

It's perfect choice if you want a simple but durable pedal for switching channels.

The only this what's missing is one status LED.

For me it's not a big problem, because I'm using it for switch clean/dirty channel ( and I'm hearing of course what's is on).

But if you use it for switching booster, maybe you will miss the LED.

But overall is't a great product.

Great Little Foot Switch

Definitely does what it's designed for - switching on/off boost channel on my Laney IOMMI signature amp. The cable is longer than what is required, I just tie it up with cable management tools and I couldn't be happier now.

Good switch

I bought two of these for my orange CR60 to switch channels and reverb. They do s good job, seem very sturdy and they come with integral leads. At less than half the price of the matching switches they make sense.

Nice budget switch.

Got this switch for my Fender Rumble 500 V3 Combo.

Works well. Built like a tank.

Cheap price. Recommended.

Good and cheap footswitch

For about 2 or 3 years I searched for a footswitch for my Laney Gh50. It should be a single switch foot switch, so I searched on my favorite music store on the internet for a cheap one and found the "Lead Foot FS-1".

It's well made and do, what it has to do: switch between the channels. ;)

I use it with about 3 or 4 amps and it worked with all of them (Hughes & Kettner Edition Silver, Laney Gh50, Laney LC etc.)

Now this Foot Switch work with all of my amps.

If it's get stolen or broken, I would immediately buy a new one an order an backup, too. ;)

Not a bad switch

I have 2 of these & they vave both been fine.

There is no led to tell you if the pedal is engaged so if you need this feature look elsewere.

The only little thing that I have a problem with is the leads are too long as I am using them as an additional switch to a foot controler, but if you are looking for a channel switch for a amp then you will be happy with the length.

Bought to use with Kemper.

I bought this unit along with the FS-2 to pair together on a pedal board for live use with my Kemper Profiling Amp.

I use this to switch to the tuner and back with 0 faults. The metal housing is very sturdy and strong. It happily takes my foot beatings when Im on stage pedal dancing between sections of our set.

I've also gone to the length to re-spray the housing matte black so that when the two pedals are side by side they look like one single unit.

For the price, cannot complain at all. Does the job perfectly.

In future maybe it'll be nice if there can be a 3 button version?

Very good product

Well it is just a regular foot-switch. It is made of both plastic and metal. I use it to control the distortion channel on my Marshall valvestate and it does the job. The cable could be a little longer but it is not a big issue. It is not as sturdy as the original Marshall switch but it is less than half the price.

Tough and silent

I plugged it into my Fender Frontman and my Peavey Envoy, it works with both, and makes no popping sound when I switch it on an off. The sides are plastic but the body is 4mm thick aluminum, it feels robust enough to take the weight of the leg often. The underside has two pads made of a dense and pretty hard foam that adheres well to the ground, and seems like it won't chip away easily.

The switch itself is the standard (like in Dunlop pedals) chromed steel thing with strong body and bolt/nut assembly. I opened the box and saw the soldering is neat and full, the wires are not too thin, the rubber is less strong than in good guitar cables but seems durable enough for its job.

I couldn't scratch the paint with my fingernails, and the plug sits firmly in the amps' input jack. The whole thing is tough and well made, but what I like most is the silent operation: it doesn't pop at all when turned on or off, and that's what matters most with a footswitch. Some days ago I went to listen to a rehearsal with professional musicians, the guitarist was well equipped but one switch in his pedalboard popped, that's annoying and it disrupts the music a bit. The FS-1 doesn't pop.

The FS-1 does the simple job of switching between a clean and overdrive channel perfectly well and should work with most amps.

Lack of a light could make it make it difficult to see what channel you are on when on stage but this shouldn't really be an issue.

Also, extremely impressed with the build quality....feels really sturdy and for the price cannot complain whatsoever!

good pedal

cheap compared to marshall alternative.plastic case isnt as robust as metal versions.works well and switch seems solid.used with a valveking,marshall dsl and a few other amps and worked fine on all of them.

Switch pedal as replacement

The quality and feel of this switch is very good. It does what it is supposed to and does it we'll. I have a very old Roland Cube 40. The reverb has not worked since 20 years when the original switch broke. I ordered the Lead Foot FS-1. Plugged it in and it worked! I now have reverb in my Roland Cube 40 again. This is awesome, the cube is now fully operational and all it's circuits are functioning perfectly ;-) and I have a true spring reverb.

Foot switch

Robust litte channel changer which I use to switch channels on my Fender Frontman guitar amp.

No LED on the pedal but there's one on the amp anyway.

Does it's job unobtrusively and reliably.

Cheap and good alternative to the original Fender footswitch.

Very Good

I use this with my Amp and its great for changing between the drive and clean channels on stage its an absolute bargain and i think every guitarist should have one for there amp.
