Great value here

Decent and reliable foot switch for the price. Would love to have LEDs on it though.

Lightweight and good quality

Simple as it should be.

Light weight, resistant and good material.

A version with led lights could be useful.

Excellent price for what you get.

Solid. A great footswitch.

This is a great little pedal. The metal chassis construction is solid, the switches are robust and everything works just as it should.

I recently purchased a second hand 100W MG Marshall which did not come with a foot-switch and was about to purchase the Marshall MRPEDL91003 foot-switch at over twice the price when I spotted this little fellow! It perfect for what I want which is for my practice amp at home.

Slight cons:

I use a Marshall for gigging so am familiar with the construction of their channel switches. The Marshall foot-switches have a little LED light to let you know which channel your on, if I were using this for gigging this would certainly be a consideration. The Marshall foot-switches also have a lead with a much heavier and robust feel to it. (I don't use other makes so haven't anything else to compare it to).

All in all though, this is a very well built little pedal. In my opinion robust enough for the road/gigging. If you'r looking for an amp foot-switch on a budget, you will be hard pressed to find a better buy. I am very happy with mine.

All you need

Bought this as I needed a two way switch. It is robust enough to stand gigging and does the job perfectly. Could only be improved by status LEDs, but that's what ears are for : ) Unbeatable value.

Adaptable foot switch

Use this footswitch with my Hartke bass combo, to change channels (clean/ drive), and also to activate the 'shape' facility, which adds a pre-defined EQ setting.

Works perfectly........

I guess it would work with any amp where you need two switches.

Only room for improvement would be the addition of LEDs to the unit so you can see what is activated.

Brilliant for the price....

good quality

This is a really cheap and still good quality footswitch. I am using it for my Laney LX120R head, and does the job flawlessly.

It is a really sturdy one, you could throw it into a tank, and it would survive without a doubt. You can definitely gig with it.

The cable is long enough for bigger stages, so no worries about that either.

good and cheap

i bought this footswith for my vox valvetronix amp as the 2 button footswitch with the name on it was 3 times the price. I have it now for about 8 years and works perfectly

Got this for my marshall valvestate that some numpty lost the original and it works perfectly. Im 20 stone of axe shredding awesomeness and it is well up to me stomping the hell outta this while i ride the lightning.

If ya need a good cheap footswitch this is the one for you. Buy it!!

Decent footswicth

Not much to say, except that is decent footswicth, ecpecially if oyu consider the price. Cable is relatively flexible, I expected much cheaper and stiffed cable, but I was pleasently suprised. Cable lenght of 3.5 m is long enough for my needs.

Switch buttons work normaly, nothing to complain about.

In my opinion this is well spent 13,40 ¤.

Simple footswitch

This little footswitch enables you to switch channels on your amp.

It is well built and looks durable.

I wouldn't recommend using it for amps like a roland cube, because they demand a momentary switch, instead of a latch switch.

Other than that, it is a regular footswitch, which does as much as any other that costs 2 or 3 times more.

Does the switching

I use this for changing channels on Line6 DT 50. Works just fine.

Cheap and no problems so far.

Not much to be said except that the casing feels a bit fragile. It probably won't last as long as the more expensive options but for the price it's pretty decent.

Does the job

Needed a foot switch for my old Laney combo, just used for jamming and didn't want to pay a load for a branded one, this is great, built like a tonkabtoy and clicks like a cricket. Deep joy!

Solid, cheap footswitch.

Works universally as long as your footswitch input it a TRS (stereo jack) input. Used with my Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 18 to switch between the clean and gain channel, with the boost switch being controlled by the second footswitch button.

Construction is fairly solid, can withstand fairly heavy stomping. Fairly light, which is a pro when transporting it, but a bit annoying on stage as it can move around easily - solved easily with rubber feet or velcroed to a pedalboard.

Only downside is there are no status LEDs, so sometimes it's a bit of guess work/hoping that I'm on the right channel.

Does what it's supposed to do

Plugged it into my Peavey Envoy, works as the Peavey manual says it should: one switch turns the volume boost on and off, the other selects the distorted or clean channel, without a popping sound, it's perfectly silent electronically.

However the hollow housing acts as a small resonant box, so the mechanical sound of the steel switches is enhanced. I find it a bit annoying, so I cut sponges in pieces, and stuffed them inside the housing to dampen the clicking sound, and it works.

When I opened it, I saw clean and full soldering; plus, the copper wires are not too thin. There was a bit of aluminum dust but I brushed it away. The housing is rather thick metal, and the side panels are tough plastic. The whole thing is rugged against shocks and the pressure of the player's weight.

The cable is okay but its rubber is not stiff and thick as a good guitar cable like my Klotz, so I give it only 4 stars. The jack locks firmly onto the amp's rear panel. The other end of the cable is crimped on the stompbox's panel, the arrangement looks quite solid, you can't budge it if you pull it.

The bottom has two rubber pads that don't wear out easily, and grip pretty well. An anti-scratch paint rounds up the thing. I don't travel with it but the footswitch looks like it should last long even if you do.
