It might be worth mentioning, that the Boss FS-7 will be able to operate without a power source connected also. The power input is there to make the LEDs function, and that's pretty much it. I just wanted to let you know, since you're not stating this in the video. Have a great day. Cheers.

The FS7 will only work in momentary mode without power. However, on the GT1 (and other Boss multi-pedals), in the settings you have the option to select the modes of CTL2 and CTL3 (regardless to what the FS7 is set to by default). So you CAN set the FS7 to latch mode without power but it's only possible due to the edit options of Boss multi-pedals. I don't think that option would be available with simple loops. I don't own the FS6 so I have no idea how or if this method will work on it.

@Not Expat Joe Depends... By itself the FS7 can only work in momentary mode without power. But with a lot of Boss multi-pedals you have the option to set the FS7 buttons to work both in latch and momentary mode (in the edit/settings). So, it is possible to use the FS7 with a lot of Boss multi-pedals without any power both in latch and momentary mode. I have no idea if this option is available in loopers...

Totally important to point out one can easily use the FS6 on one’s pedalboard without any battery. Just grab a power cable with a 2-pole battery cap on one end. I use the FS6 this way. Also important to consider how accurately one can hit the right switch on each of these units.

There's something else to have in mind: When due to there's only one MODE switch on the FS-7 when you choose latch or unlatch both A and B switches work latched or unlatched. And as you have two MODE switchs on the FS-6 you can have A switch latched and B another one unlatched and viceversa.

I’m not a fan of the F-7’s heel toe requirement to push the buttons because it would be really easy to hit the wrong one or both at the same time where the F-6 is two separate buttons making switching virtually mistake proof. That’s a real deal breaker for me in that F-7.

I got a 9v battery eliminator to eliminate the issue of running down the battery if you don’t unplug the input. I always hated devices that do this, rather than having an actual on/off switch. It probably would cost the manufacturer 50 cents to add an actual on/off power switch. That’s why I do not use internal batteries in any of my pedals? Why bother, unless you are doing a completely remote busking gig.

Hi Ben maybe you can help me. I have the rc500 loop station and after watching your video I bought the FS6 footswitch. The wanted the switch so I can simple hit the A and or B or move up in down in my stored memories. I wanted to do this since I have about 50 stored loops and drum patterns which I want to be able to get to hands free. I did not want to change the function of my RC500 footswitch so I would not lose flexibility. I followed your instructions on the video using a balance trs cable, and setting the polarity and function switches as you indicated on the video. I went into the station and memory settings and changed Ctr func 1 to Mem Dec and Ctr func 2 to Mem inc. Then when I hit the fs6 pedal either A or B it would only go up on the memory selection. (5 to 6 and so forth) Both A and B did the same thing. So I kept trying things and so forth and then all of a sudden I got some kind of error message on the RC500 which blinked and went off. Now the pedal will not do anything on the RC500. I changed the setting to start and stop and so forth just to check if it had something to do with memory up and down and it worked for nothing. I unplugged the FS6 and tested my RC500 for normal function and it works fine. I even went in and changed ped 1 and 2 to increase and decrease the memory using the RC500 switches and it works. I then tested the FS6 on my amp directly to turn distortation and clean on and off and the pedal works fine. So it appears I did something to the RC500's ability to accept the FS 6 pedal. Not sure what that error message was but I'm sure that had something to do with it. Any thoughts on what I should do next to get things back to normal and so that I can use the FS6 on my RC500?

Great point and was one answer I was searching for. Also, what happens when you use a TRS (or insert cable) with the FS-6? Does that cancel the individual L/U switch functionality? Meaning, if the A is set to latching and the B is set to Unlatch and you have two separate cables going to two separate jacks, they will work as latching and unlatched respectively. However, what happens when you run the single TRS cable out of the pedal? Does that defeat one (or the other) manual U/L switch settings? The other problem is, assuming you don't have a giant pedalboard with a power supply, and you are using only this pedal with another 9v powered pedal, you now have an additional trip hazard on stage because you have to run a power cable to an outlet. So in summary, these are both partial fails. The FS6 should have the ability to be powered with AC adapter and the FS7 should be able to be powered by 9v battery. - plus the original problem that you cannot set each pedal independently as U/L on the FS7.

The guy said that fs6 would work only in momentary mode (however, actually doing the job of the latch mode to browse presets), and consequently LED indicators on FS-6 would not be active and that you could forget which bank of presets was active, and that's a risk for a live gigging situation. It was a review for Boss Katana MK2 and footswitch options. Is there a way to escape and overcome that bug and actually make the LEDs work despite the momentary mode?

@@onlyrealufos4146 Ridiculous comment. I do practice sports and am very fit for my age but you try balancing on one foot for a several seconds without the other foot waivering. Try understandimg that to scroll songs standing on one foot is very difficult and I am an ex gymnast 'buddy'!!!! (Ps I'm not your buddy and dont live in your country). Cant you guys except criticism of a brand name?

@Not Expat Joe Sorry to hear that. For me carrying a stool is extra gear. I play best standing up. Fortunately with practice I have regained my one foot balance long enough to quickly scroll backing tracks with the FS7

Thank you for you videos theyre a great reference. I apologize ahead for the rookie question, but does the FS-6 only control 2 channels on the RC-505, or can it be configured to control all 5? Much appreciated.

Thank you so much for your helpful videos. Can you help me with my problem. I'm using RC-300 as my looper and I've pre-recorded backgrounds into the 1-99 memory locations. I would like to use an external pedal to switch between the memory locations. Do you know how to this, and which pedal to use? Thank you so much in before hand!:)

The FS-7 a and b switches feel wack and cheap but its small.... the FS-6 feels like a Boss Pedal but its huge.... Hard decision though...

Fs-7 also works without power! you only need power for the leds to light up.

Without power FS-7 a dual momentary but it's in the Normally Closed (Push To Break) "polarity" only. If you use it as a momentary Normally Open (Push To Make) or as a latching switch, you still need power for it to work.
