Best TC-Helicon Switch-3 Alternatives

Based on 8 reviews

I use this as a "switch" to my subwoofer, a KRK 10S. It works perfect for its purpose, without any noise or disturbance (which I was a bit worried about) when you shift mode on/off. A small red LED lights up when you have it either on or off, which can be set with yet another small switch on the rear. Perfect if you want to save battery, depending on which mode you are planning to have it in for the most part. Being able to turn off the subwoofer in the studio quickly and easily make a real difference when adjusting in the lower registers. Recommendable...

As an solo Accordionist with usually two or three gigs a week, I was really excited to finally have the Ketron FS 13 footswitch. For many years I was using the Ketron FS 6 footswitch which was a sturdy, robust piece of equipment. The FS 13 is a high quality piece of engineering which will give the user many years of reliable service. It will withstand the daily tests that musician's require of their gear. My Ketron footswitch has been dropped and dragged unintentionally of course, but has always survived. Pros: Sturdy construction..., no movement during performances due to the four high quality rubber feet...very positive and distinctive switching between the thirteen switches...compact enough to fit in my cable box...it's reasonably priced for a good quality item. Cons: The cable at...

I purchased this footswitch for the purpose of sending MIDI start/stop signals to a Korg Drumlogue. After setting up the switch using the BeatBars editing software - to send the appropriate system real time message, and set to toggle switching, it works perfectly. My intention is to use the second switch to send CC signals to a keyboard for switching the rotary speaker speed on a specific channel. I will need a MIDI splitter for this as the FS3 only has one midi out. It would have been nice if a second 5 pin MIDI out was included within the footswitch, particularly as it has two footswitches, hence only 4 stars for features. I knew this though before my purchase.

I purchased this product to use in conjunction with the new Boss RC3 Loop Station. The new functionality, where you can move back and forth through loops fairly quickly and easily using the A button (momentarily to move forward, and held down to move backwards through loops), is excellent compared to what I was used to using the FS5U and RC2. The reduced dimensions are excellent, and alongside the ability to power the footswitch via a standard Boss power supply (whereas the FS5U requires batteries), makes this product much more suitable for use in a fixed pedalboard.

The vintage style Leslie Half Moon switch redone with new technology. Easy to mount, sturdy (inside is made of metal) and with that vintage style that is uncompared to other brands. With this you can control the digital Leslie in the new Hammond organs and stage keyboards (like sk models) or a real new Leslie connected to these keyboards, with a 3 mode switch (chorale, stop, tremolo). Obviously the outer shell is made of plastic so take care if you have to move the keyboard wich is connected to. It's the real thing. For those purists that accept no sobstitutes.

Tap temp for delays is next to impossible with the Zoom G3x. The FS01 is perfectly sorted this , I like that it is quite flat and the area that you press is quite wide , so I don't have to make sure to hit a small switch. It comes with a nice long lead as well so I can position it where I normally tap my foot as I play , then I don't need to think too much ! The construction is quite strong too metal and sturdy rubber , no danger of it breaking anytime soon. Makes a really good effects unit even better

I bought this pedal for my ableton push, since the push uses an inverted polarity I needed something that had that function as a switch, and this one did the trick most certainly! The pedal itself is good and firmly built, thanks to rubber pads on the back it will stay strongly on the ground you place it and doesnt slip or slide even the slightest! The edges are a little sharp and I've almost hurt myself a couple of times while holding it so be careful! But in total this is a very good pedal indeed and would recommend you buying it because of it's incredible portability and the polarity switch which renders it useful for pretty much anything with an input for sustain pedals!

So this is the remote footswitch for the the Neo Instruments Ventilator II Leslie simulator which enables remote control of start / stop and speed. The pedal itself is very well made with robust switches and it is heavy enough not to move around on the floor and comes with a reasonable length of cable. The unit functions as expected with no glitches and uses a standard stereo cable which is easy to purchase if the included one fails or isn't long enough. There is one flaw however that's really with the Ventilator itself rather than the remote: you can't remotely put the Ventilator II into bypass from the Remote II. I ended up having to add an additional connector into the Ventilator II and connect up a third switch to enable the bypass function. Given that it's relatively easy to work...

I've purchased this to control my Boss Gt-Pro effects processor, and its perfect for this. You need a midi lead to plug it in, and also a power adapter (both are sold separately), and although these two units are nothing to do with one another, they look like they were made to match each other. Both have the same silver colour, and yellow light up lettering display, and work together great, though its a shame that the name of each patch doesn't appear on the little screen on the floor unit, just its number, you can re-type the name of each patch in manually, but if you decide to change any patches in the processor, you need to re-name them on the floor unit thing separately to match, and this is a bit of a drag. Ultimately, I've found it hassle having a rack mounted effects unit, AND a...
