Boss FS-6 Dual Footswitch
Dual-function footswitch · Two footswitches, latching or momentary modes, 1/4" TRS cable, compact aluminum body$40–$65 usedBest for: Channel switching, reverb/delay control, amp tone switching, compact pedalboard option
Boss FS-6 is the industry standard amp footswitch — two independent switches can be configured for channel switching (one switch = select channel A, other = select channel B) or independent control (reverb on/off, drive on/off). The compact aluminum body fits in tight pedalboards or beside your amp. Latching and momentary modes are selectable. Most combo amps and head/cab rigs support Boss FS-6 via 1/4" TRS jack.
What to check used: Requires 1/4" TRS jack on amp — verify your amp has the correct jack before purchasing. Some older amps use different switch protocols. The cable length is fixed — if you need a longer cable, you may need an extension.
