Roland GA-FC Floor Control For Amps

Quick Product Summary

The Roland GA-FC Floor Control gives guitarists and bassists hands-free access to key functions on a wide range of compatible Roland and BOSS amplifiers and processors. Its six rugged footswitches provide fast switching between channels, panel settings and effects without interrupting your performance.

Two dedicated expression-pedal connections expand the setup further, allowing compatible optional pedals to control functions such as volume and effects in real time.

What Makes the Roland GA-FC Special?

The GA-FC is designed specifically for musicians who want straightforward stage control without navigating menus or reaching back to an amplifier. Connect it to a compatible amp using the included foot-controller cable and you gain direct access to multiple channels and amp functions from a durable floor unit.

Its two expression-pedal inputs also make the GA-FC expandable. Add compatible Roland or BOSS expression pedals for continuous control over functions such as volume and effects, creating a flexible performance setup while keeping both hands on your instrument.
