Lead Foot FS-2 Reviews

Bought to use with kemper and FS-1

I bought this unit along with the GS-1 to pair together on a pedal board for live use with my Kemper Profiling Amp.

I use this unit to swap between profiles and pedals live 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 out 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!

Good...

Bought as part of a guitar amp bundle by Kustom, it's very nicely built, the switches feel right & i'll dare predict they WILL last for a LONG TIME - as long as you DON'T jump on them like a maniac that is?

Then again, that's not exactly what any switches such as this are built for, is it ?

Take care of your gear & your gear WILL take care of you & NOT leave you stranded at a gig?.

Happy with it !

Does the job.

Switch 1 for channel, switch 2 for gain for me. LED indicators would be nice, as would a beer keg.

It's lightweight, but works without adding noise when switching so all is well.

As a cheapy switch, it does the job just fine. Look after your kit and I don't see why it should fail.

The connector isn't the best, but it isn't subject to much strain so no worries.

Switchy goodness.

Very Good Foot Switch

I bought this Foot Switch to use with my tube amp, to switch between clean and drive chanel and to switch the reverb on and off.

It has a 6.35 mm (1?4 in) stereo jack and two 3 pin 2 positions switches. Because it operates without batteries, It has no indication LEDs (this makes it compatible with more amp models because the on and off state depends on the amp and so it was possible that in some cases the LED will light when effect is off). It is possible to add LEDs but you will need to use an 6 pin 2 position switch.

It is compatible with all the amps that use on/off foot switches.

It will not work with amps that use momentary switches (like "tap tempo" ones).

The case is solid metal, so it is very durable.

Lead Foot

Hey, this is a footswitch, not rocket science but it sure does its job well, reliable and sturdy. The price is about 25% of a Marshall original switch so why not? I have used it on quite a few gigs and it never let me down!

I have been stomping on this for a few years now and it still works like it did on day one. I have two, one for channel switching and one for reverb/boost selection.

Affordable pedal

The Lead Foot FS-2 is an affordable alternative if you are looking for an pedal for an amp that has both a channel switcher and a booster function (or some kind of on-board effect unit). The important question is whether your amp has a socket for a stereo jack. This is common for e. g. Marshall, H&K, and Engl amps.

The build quality of the FS-2 is okay. Of course you don't get an unbreakable device for that small price but you can sure trust it on stage. The spot where the cable goes into the books looks stable and should be able to stand some stress.

However, the major problem with the FS-2 is that it doesn't have LEDs to show the status of your amp. That may sound as a minor issue but on stage you will be thankful if you have an overview at one glance. so if you want to use it more than only occasionally you should consider to spend the money for one of the more expensive alternatives.

A decent quality standard foot switch

I have used this for some time now and it does what it's supposed to do and shows no signs of malfunction. I can't say i love the look of the pedal but it's a two button footswitch so who cares? :)

Lead Foot FS-2 Review

The Lead Foot FS-2 is excellent value for money. It is a third of the price of the official Vox foot switch and does the exact same thing for you. One problem with the Lead Foot FS-2 is the lack of led indicators to show if the pedal is active or off, but the Vox pedal also lacks the feature of led indicators. All in all this is a very good foot switch considering the low price.

Best value foot pedal

Compared to the other dual pedals available, this does the job at a cheaper price. I had no problems with this pedal after a few months of use, and it's obviously universally compatible with amps which allow it. This is an accessory that probably shouldn't be taken too seriously, and because of this, I recommend this pedal due to its value for money.

Does the job

As basic as it comes. Foot Switch does the job and works pretty well. Next time I will spend a little extra and get one with LED so it's easy to see if the switch is engaged or not.

Lead Foot FS-2

This switching footpedal does exactly what it is supposed to. It switches between clean, overdriven and boost on my Hughes and Kettner Tubemeister 18. When purchasing I wondered whether the pedal would last. I am pleased to say the pedal has been gigged several times since purchase and used for every practice. The casing and switches seem robust and the cable is a decent length to suit my set up. Why purchase a more expensive branded switching pedal when this one just does the job it's supposed to.

low budget - why pay more?

Works great with different amps, so you have to ask yourself what's the point in spending more money for something that's flawless?

The only thing missing is a LED or two, but, hey, you should hear it anyway!

It's really stable, easy to use and foolproof.
