Versatile

Versatile footswitch for many effects

It works as it should, but a very long cable.

It works well enough.

The super long cable is... well in my opinion unnecessary and can get in your way. Other than that the quality is fine, switches seem good.

Must have unit

this was a great buy. it gives me control over my sound with 8 presets, without going to the amp. works a treat.

High quality

I took it with my VT40X amp. Sturdy construction and stable. I think it's a little bit overpriced for a simple footswitch but anyway.

Very satisfied

Got this pedal together with my amp VOX VT40+ and it is perfect match. Does the job and it is solid, nothing to say against it. I love it.

handy to have more access to your amp at gigs

a great extension for the vox series amps. Easy to change between channels etc on the fly mid gig etc

Built Like a tank

This is a very high quality product and looks to be indestructible. It's rather large but that suits me fine. In operation it it faultless.

Id does what it have to do

No complains at all. Product in good working order, no faults.

The only con could be the cable, is quite rigid and would be better something with a higher quality, but is not a big deal.

Wouldn't be without it

I like this a lot and use it when gigging and in the studio. All our other pedals have been dumped, apart from the tuner which on the VOX VT**X amps is not so clever. Nice long lead and positive action, (it;s a stomp pedal) Would not be without it.

Simple and Perfect to use with AV60

I bought this to go with the Vox AV60, it is perfect. The amp has a simple design, 2 channels(controlled by the first switch which has a LED). The other buttons control the effects from the amp(Chorus, Delay, tap tempo and Reverb respectively).

The construction is solid (a little bit on the heavy side) but it means it won't disintegrate after you step on it a few times. The buttons are wide enough apart so your foot won't step on more than one at the same time (The actual unit is bigger than what I thought).

The cable is long enough so you don't have to stand right next to the amp. The only thing it could be better is if each button had it's own LED, so you know which effect is on without having to play, or look on the amp(Not enough to lower the 5* rating)

As I personally use a Line 6 M13, I might buy the 2 button version, to use less space(as I'm mainly using to select the channel, not effects), however I would keep this in case I wanted a simple rig(without anything else)

MUST HAVE

When I bought a VOX AC40, I didn't realize its complexity of use.

The Vox VFS5 Footswitch its imperative to use 2 or 3 effects in the same music while playing it, something impossible to do without this footswitch.

Pros - compact and robust case. Cons - The layout is good but could be improved.

Solid, sturdy footswitch

Handles the job it's made for very well. Controlled my VT120+ with no problems. The only downside is that the cable is hardwired into the switch. I modded this (but this voids the warranty of course) to be detachable regular stereo jack, so that I would have flexibility in cable length and to be able to use any old stereo jack-jack.

Sturdy and works well

Well built very easy to use and does just what is needed without being flash or over the top.

Use it with Vox vt 40plus and although everything can be done on the amp itself this makes it so much easier with "hands free2 mid song or whatever if you need to change your sound.

Not the most complecated footswitch there is but i get the idea it would last forever and it does just what is needed

Awesome!

This footswitch is a great buy which makes switching between the saved sounds on my Vox VT40+ super easy! It lets you toggle through the user programmes and the different banks too. The best feature is the tap tempo ability. if your saved sound has delay, you can change the delay time with the footswitch. if your effect has modulate you can do the same thing! It's really very cool!

a welcome addition to my Vox VT40+

it is a must have addition to the Vox VT series of amps. it provides instant access to the pre-set on-board effects of the amp, a very cost-effective combination.

The pedal to go with the Vox VT+ Range

This is the pedal to go with the Vox VT+ Range. I bought this to go with my Vox Valvetronix vt40+ and I got it at the same time as I bought the amp. I thought it would be convenient to have the ability to change the settings which are saved in the memory. There are eight options with five foot buttons. The first is a bank A/B the next four are one to four.

The construction is of pressed metal and the foot buttons look like stainless steel. It is well marked out and looks of good construction. I couldn't fault it in any way. It does what it is supposed to and does it well.

Al per usual with Thoamann the buying and delivery went without a hitch. This seems to be synonymous with them. I have ordered from them many times and they have never let me down.

An absolute must...

If you have a vox Valvetronix, the you really must get this footswitch. It takes your amp into the "live" arena and gives control to your presets. It's solid and well made, and the cable is long enough for most small gigs. I have not had this for a while yet, but I see no reason why it won't last the life of the amp. 5*****
