Everything I needed to know. This pedal pairs 100 percent with a Boss GT-100, greatly expanding its capability with the "momentary" option. If I'm not mistaken, Van Halen used a momentary pedal while doing songs like "Unchained" with the heavy Phaser (or Flanger, can't remember) effect during parts of the song.

Thanks for this Dave. I just bought a Boss Katana MkII along with the FS-6 footswitch. As soon as I unboxed the FS-6 and went to plug it in, I discovered Boss's design error. There should be a 9V plug-in in the back. Nobody wants to have to reach down to unplug pedals before and after use. Your suggestion for the battery cable was perfect. But still, shame on Boss for this mistake on what is otherwise a great product!

Would be good to note that the FS7 footswitch would be a good option too. Only two outputs A and B but does have dc power and also has a different footprint if anyone is limited for space on their pedal boards.
@PhatPhishGuitarStudio
@PhatPhishGuitarStudio 7 жыл бұрын
As with so many things, it's a case of weighing up the features and price versus your requirements/preferences and budget. The DC power in on the FS7 is a big selling point for me, but I'm not sold on the one-switch-above-another form factor...I much prefer side by side...I guess I just don;t trust my feet not to catch on the switch that I'm not aiming for.
@Sammonkeyfist
@Sammonkeyfist 7 жыл бұрын
I've not seen an FS7 in the flesh so to speak but I do think there is quite a height difference in the two pedal so I don't think catching it would be a problem, but then again I think I'd too have the same issue and go for a side by side myself.

Not all 9V batteries are equal. I have just received my Boss FS-6 and the Boss SY-1 I'll use it with. If the included batteries should be dead before I receive the power-to-battery-connector cables that I just ordered, then I'll replace the batteries with Duracell brand ones. I'll try rechargeables first, but these tend to fall short in voltage.

polarity ... it sets up if the switch is normally open or normally closed. if the switch is normally open then closes when pushing the switch or normally closed then opens when the switch is pushed. Different devices have different needs and that is why it can be useful.

If you don't mind me asking, can a stereo jack that then splits into two mono jacks work. I'm waiting on a boss Street cube 2. The amp has two jack inputs on the back, one for the inbuilt looper and one for the harmoniser, also built into the amp. Would single stereo (middle of the Boss pedal) to two mono's work? Great explanation of the Boss pedal/foot switches PhatPhish.

You can use the stereo A/B cable when your device input for channel/effects loop is controlled by connecting only one plug. You can use the A output to control an amplifier channel switch and B output to control a separate device such a loop station, then you have two independent switches. You can't use the three outputs at once. Opiton 1. Choose the central A/B output with an stereo cable Option 2. Use “A” output with one mono cable and “B” output with another mono cable

You can use individual mono cables OR a stereo cable but not both. These aren't entry/output connections, they are means of connecting individual swicthes- either 2 individual swicthes on 2 individual mono cables, or 2 switches sharing a single stereo cable.

Kind of sucks that it only runs on battery. Why in the world would Boss not add the feature to run the power to an adapter or 1spot??? Nobody is going to want to tear this off your board every time you need to change the battery! I was almost sold on it until realizing this.

If your're using the individual connectors then its a standard mono or tip/sleeve cable like you'd use for a guitar. For the combined connection then it's a stereo or tip/ring/sleve (TRS) cable. There's a bit more about cales in another of my videos... kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3nQeYObftp0eJo

@@PhatPhishGuitarStudio If you want to use two delays with this, do you have to connect them individually to A & B and then, if wanting to "sync" the delays, tap on A & B switch one after the other, or could you use it in "both A+B" mode with a TRS>two standard mono (ie: a splitter cable)? I read in the manual that if you are using the "both" option you cannot connect devices like pedals to the unit.

It's a complete mystery to me why FS-6 needs power.. And why BOSS deliberately made it without the option of using a power adapter. It can ONLY use battery, which could die anytime during a live show. I am pretty disappointed with it, and would stay away from this product. Alternatively get two BOSS FS-5U's instead. The can do the same and doesn't need power. Why the heck do a passive contact need power in the first place? I still wonder..

Can this be used for the MIDI IN port in a trigger module, to change program?
@chrislaarman7532
@chrislaarman7532 3 жыл бұрын
I don't think so (but I may be wrong). MIDI is about sending data (in bursts), using optical coupling at the connectors to avoid hum. Program changes each represent a message of a number of bytes (one byte for the command itself and the MIDI channel targeted, one byte for the number of the program, I remember), and "one up" or "one down" would require the current number to be stored in a buffer. This switch looks like mere closing a circuit for a moment (unlatched) or some time (latched). - So I was going to say "I think you'd need an Expression pedal", but I'd be wrong, as Expression is a continuous controller.

Yes. Just use a stereo cable from the A/B outlet from FS-6 and plug it into the FW/SW inlet in order to control the CLEAN/LEAD channels and the EFX Loop cdn.roland.com/assets/images/products/gallery/cube_20x_top_gal.jpg
