BOSS FS-5U, FS-5L, FS-6 Foot Switch - By GearTestUa

[@punkmusicmetal]

Been using mine as a tap tempo for my DD-7 for about 5 years now, and no problems. This thing is built like a tank.

[@ClarkyGuitar]

Great video, helped me work out what footswich I needed for my Roland 40XL

[@MusicChannel-rf5zz]

Thanks for the informative video. Is it possible to use this with a Roland SPD SX drums as a kick & hihat pedal?

[@SianaGearz]

These have been around since at least mid 90ies now! Unchanged!

Nice demonstration! Cool pedals too :)

[@tcg1_qc]

Will the FS-5U work with my Roland Cube 30? I need it to switch between channels with 1 tap like in this video

[@LG-ss4gh]

i want to know too!

[@DnielleCabrera]

I dont know why i have to push it twice for change???? why is not at the first tap like in this video????

[@ClintRoxx]

Mu FS-7 was doing the same thing using it with the Boss Gt-1 and i switched it to momentary and it now works with one push

[@johnloo1136]

FS5U means U = unlatched FS5L means L = Latched That’s why you have to press it 2xs. On the L Or try reverse the polarity switch

[@AlexStreletz]

@@johnloo1136 John, tell me please, whitch one do I need using with boss g-1 like CTR2? Thanks!

[@johnloo1136]

The video they use the fs5-L to switch the sounds. Or change channels on an amp. FS5-U is pressed to momentary of and on an effect.

[@ClarkyGuitar]

I got the FS-5U. Perfect for me, one tap to change channel. Need another 2 now!

[@eddiem4868]

ClarkyGuitar would it work to turn on and off reverb only?

[@chriswalton3383]

I have the fs-5l footswitch and tried using just an ordinary guitar lead and found it wouldn't switch channel's, so I got a mono to trs cable and it worked. Later on I realised that the footswitch was changing from channel 1 bank A to channel 2 bank B. I then saw online in boss support about some update where you now have the option too use a ordinary guitar lead which will now switch between channel's in the one bank or a trs to switch between channel 1 bank A to channel 2 bank B. That's pretty frustrating. I went through a lot with the cable situation in the first place.

[@josesampaioramos3437]

Great video. Could you help me? Is it possible to use two FS 5L with the Boss Katana 50? Is it going to work as the FS 6 (one changing the Bank and the other changing the Chanel)? Thank you.

[@Daggoe]

Yeah! Roland Cube!

[@brnybnc]

Greetings everyone! I have a Boss Katana 50w amp, and I want to get a pedal, that is good for switching between channels (my personal settings). Are those pedals can do that?

[@misterdetail]

Yes, the Katana user manual says the BOSS FS-5L is the footswitch to use with the Katana 50. I use it with mine for channel switching.

[@adddddd1221]

Victor Martinez but can the Fs-5U do that as well ?

[@indrajithak47]

@@adddddd1221 not in the manual anyway, this may however be to discourage 3rd party products. I heard the vox vfs channel pedal works fine with the katana as well.

[@henritheron3050]

@@indrajithak47 arent roland and boss owned by the same company?

[@Jonascaiafa]

hahah? the final was great man haha

[@victoria.douton]

HI! Thanks for the video! I would like to know which cable trs would you use to connect FS-6 to FS-5U. A was thinking about a Y cable but as far I want to use A&B on the F5-6 i'm not sure which TRS cable should i buy... It needs stereo cablenfor that pedal and mono for the other pedal.... I'm confused... Thnaks for your help!

[@DirdyBirdy]

Will the FS-7 work with Boss Acoustic Singer Live?

[@leandroborges6102]

Será que funciona no amp fender LT25?

[@savv2580]

Black small button behind what to use for,,,thanks

[@mug1222]

Why doesn't BOSS advertise these more?

[@david38oh]

I have a vk-8m organ module. can i use the fs-5u to turn on/off leslie effect?

[@phackwer]

Can anyone tell me the difference between the FS-5U and FS-5L?

[@GuilhermeSrfn]

The FS-5L is latched. It means it holds the signal when the switch is released, which has to be pressed again to turn off. Meanwhile, the FS-5U is unlatched, it holds the signal only while the switch is pressed down.

[@LCRLive687]

@@GuilhermeSrfn does this mean that if used swtch a preset it will do so or keep going up?

[@GuilhermeSrfn]

@@LCRLive687 I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand your doubt. Could you elaborate it a little bit more?

[@GM-lf2im]

@@GuilhermeSrfn if i use FS 5U connected to my Boss ve8 to create/overdub/play/stop/delete some loops, is it good or do i need to use fs 5L? Thanx

[@GuilhermeSrfn]

@@GM-lf2im Yeah, it's probably best to use the FS-5U, but take a look at the manual before choosing...

[@slobodanjotanovic7741]

What is the name od this song on begining

[@LiorB73]

I’m to use the FS-5L with my JC-40 and it don’t work, I don’t know why

[@Robin_0011]

The FS-5L, seem to make no sense? Why would anyone want to double-press?

[@ClintRoxx]

You will want the FS-7 or FS-6 if using with the Boss Katana 50 amps

[@markdoydora1424]

Clint McLain what exactly are you referring to sir? and why? 😟

[@BallisticBryan]

Are you not able to use the FS-5L with a 50w katana??

[@anthonysclafani3963]

+Clint McLain any delay/lag/latency when using an FS7 or FS6 with a katana 50?

[@javiervasquez3417]

Does the Fs-5u work with Katana 50?

[@fragtagninja1633]

Probably, but you would probably be happier with a latching footswitch.

[@AGVersace100]

why does it work without battery but the fs-6 doesn't?

[@saintangernew]

Hello ! Verry nice but what guitar is it ??

[@Sava12242]

Hello thanks for this video! I play a Roland RD 700NX and am looking for a way to change pre-set sound channels without having to use the wheel/buttons. Would this do it?

[@SimonFerocius]

Yes, Jordan Rudess use it in his Kronos

[@marcialperal7155]

What should I use just for the looper to record, play and stop. Is it FS-5U or FS-5L?

[@bebenavole]

Thats what Id like to know too. Anyone?

[@celestinhutchinson7277]

I need to know also

[@brianhay4024]

Narration would have made the video more usable

[@hql]

which footswitch did you end up buying?

[@Voxguitarsrock]

Will these work with the Behringer gmx series amps?

[@superchespy1]

Which one works with a Roland Jazz Chorus 120 ?

[@emazenz238]

alguien sabe cual funciona mejor con el JC 120?

[@pilowmonster]

which one works with boss katana 50w

[@teardama7320]

the 5u and the 5l

[@ClintRoxx]

Well since the new firmware update you want the FS-7 or FS-6 if you want to use batteries one switch changes banks and the other changes 1-2 or 3-4 within the a or b bank

[@markdoydora1424]

Clint McLain can you reclarify it for me sir? I'm a bit confused

[@ClintRoxx]

The FS-6 takes batteries the FS-7 uses an ac adapter these are two button switches that change the bank with one switch and change the patches within the banks with the other when uses with the Boss Katana amps.

[@markdoydora1424]

Clint McLain cool, have you tried the boss katana 50 with the fs6 or fs7?

[@Hornet5561]

Would it work on a Marshall MG30FX? If yes, what one do I need, cheers

[@thamawia2992]

Is this compatible with Katan 50

[@waspierkninja]

would these work with the bugera 333xl?

[@boynamedlen]

Does the FS-5U also work on an older Cube 30 (not an XL)? Mine doesn't have that foot sw type switch on the back like in the video, it only has one input on the top with "tip select, ring efx". So do I need a 5U or 5L? I only need it for channel switching, not for effects.

[@Daggoe]

Hey, i have a question. Can you loop on the Roland Cube with the BOSS FS-5U? Which functions does it have? Is it only rec/play/dub ? Or rec/play/dub with /tap/stop ?

[@Sheerrim]

Can you use a DC 9V adapter or it only takes batteries?

[@youngprofessor]

It doesn't require external power. Just plug in the quarter inch cable.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Does the FS-6 work with the Roland Cube Street ?

[@adonaikrause9913]

Yes. www.roland.com/global/products/cube_street/specifications/ check the options section.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Thanks. I appreciate your input.

[@MrTheStachulex]

Hi everyone! I have Roland Cube 40XL and i'm curious about this footswitch. On the back side of the amp there are 3 inputs for footswitch. I have FS-6, but don't know how to connect it. Can someone explain me how to properly connect it to be able to change between JC Chours, Lead and Solo? Or there's more options? Like changing EFX on/off or more of this stuff? I appreciate every help! :)

[@maxbarragancastillo5764]

yes, i bought it and it works

[@boimesa8190]

You don't really explain the differences...

[@joellourenco95]

😂😂😂😂👍

[@LeuchTe_StriKe]

Lol

[@rnarizona9686]

I can't believe this "Demo" was done by an outfit called Gear Test. Worst demo of a product I've ever seen. How about some vocal commentary from the demonstrator?

[@maximusfrank2835]

Honestly my farts sound better than this tone..

[@avapenner2658]

I'm sure he thinks so as well and normally plays a real amp, but being that he is a guitarist, he most likely thought of a practical application for the pedal within his own expertise. I will be using it behind the drum kit in conjunction with the SPD-SX to easily switch kits.

[@alexmusic2387]

Wich one have to get for looping and on/off reverb in a Roland AC-33?

which one will work with a korg kr mini?
