BOSS FS-6 Dual Footswitch
The BOSS FS-6 combines two footswitches into one compact, rugged unit. By housing two independent switches side-by-side, the FS-6 allows you to save valuable pedalboard space while providing flexible, intuitive control over your amplifiers, multi-effects processors, and rhythm machines. It is the ultimate utility tool for guitarists and keyboardists who need efficient remote switching during live performances.
Flexible Configuration and Control
Each of the two footswitches on the FS-6 can be configured for either latch or momentary operation. This versatility ensures the FS-6 can adapt to a wide variety of devices—use it to toggle effects on and off, tap in tempo, switch amplifier channels, or trigger samples. Each switch also features its own polarity adjustment, making it compatible with virtually any gear that accepts a standard footswitch.

Its durable metal construction ensures it can take a beating night after night, while the low-profile design fits seamlessly into any professional rig.

Common Customer Questions Answered
Can I use this with any amplifier?
The FS-6 is compatible with most amplifiers and devices that use a standard "normally open" or "normally closed" footswitch. The polarity switches allow you to toggle between these settings to match your specific gear.
Do I need a battery?
Yes. The FS-6 requires a 9V battery to power the status LEDs. If you are not using the LED function, the switches will still work as passive footswitches, but the LED indicators will not function.
What is the difference between Latch and Momentary?
Latch mode acts like a light switch (click on, click off), which is ideal for channel switching. Momentary mode only stays active while your foot is held down, which is ideal for tap tempo or triggering temporary effects.
