The Boss FS-6 Dual Footswitch combines two independent footswitches in one compact and rugged unit, giving musicians flexible hands-free control over compatible amplifiers, effects processors, rhythm machines and other equipment.

Each switch can be configured independently for either Latch or Momentary operation, while dedicated polarity switches allow the FS-6 to work with a wide range of compatible devices.

The two switches can be connected separately using individual mono cables or together through the combined A & B stereo TRS connection, making the FS-6 a highly versatile control accessory for stage, studio and rehearsal use.

This Pre-Owned example is in Very Good condition.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

The FS-6 is useful because it effectively combines the functionality of two separate footswitches into one compact unit.

Each side can be configured independently, meaning one switch can operate in Latch mode while the other works in Momentary mode if required.

The selectable polarity also makes it compatible with a much wider range of equipment than a basic fixed footswitch.

DETAILED FEATURES & BENEFITS

Two Independent Footswitches

The FS-6 provides separate A and B footswitches.

Each can control an independent function on compatible equipment, allowing one unit to handle two different assignments.

Depending on the connected product, these might include:

• Channel switching

• Effects on/off

• Tap tempo

• Patch control

• Start/stop

• Memory selection

• Other assignable functions

Latch Mode

In Latch mode, pressing the footswitch changes its state and leaves it there until the switch is pressed again.

This is commonly used for functions such as:

• Channel switching

• Effects on/off

• Feature activation

Momentary Mode

In Momentary mode, the switch sends a temporary control signal when pressed.

This is often required for:

• Tap tempo

• Memory switching

• Phrase control

• Certain amplifier and effects functions

Independent Mode Selection

Each footswitch has its own mode selector.

This means A and B do not have to operate in the same way.

For example:

• Switch A can be set to Latch

• Switch B can be set to Momentary

This makes the FS-6 much more flexible than many basic dual footswitches.

SELECTABLE POLARITY

Each footswitch also has its own polarity switch.

Different manufacturers and products can interpret footswitch signals differently, so selectable polarity helps the FS-6 work correctly with a wider range of equipment.

FLEXIBLE CONNECTION OPTIONS

The FS-6 provides:

• Individual A output

• Individual B output

• Combined A & B stereo TRS output

Using separate outputs allows each switch to control different devices.

Using the combined A & B connection allows both switches to be carried through a single compatible stereo TRS cable.

EXPANDABLE DESIGN

The FS-6 can also be connected alongside compatible Boss switching accessories such as:

• FS-5L

• FS-5U

• Additional FS-6 units

• AB-2

This makes it suitable for more complex control setups.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Boss FS-6 is particularly well suited to:

• Boss amplifier users

• Multi-effects users

• Keyboard players

• Looping musicians

• Rhythm machine users

• Live performers

• Studio musicians

• Players requiring two external control switches

• Musicians needing configurable latch and momentary control

PLAYING STYLES & APPLICATIONS

The FS-6 can be used for:

• Amplifier channel switching

• Effects control

• Tap tempo

• Patch selection

• Looper control

• Rhythm machine control

• Keyboard functions

• Studio setups

• Live performance

• Rehearsal rigs

HOW IT COMPARES

FS-6 vs Boss FS-5U

The FS-5U is a single momentary footswitch.

The FS-6 provides two switches, each individually configurable for momentary or latch operation.

FS-6 vs Boss FS-5L

The FS-5L is a single latching switch.

The FS-6 combines two switches and allows either one to operate in latch or momentary mode.

FS-6 vs Basic Dual Footswitch

Many basic dual footswitches use fixed switching modes and polarity.

The FS-6 adds independent mode and polarity selection for greater compatibility.

FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Players who need two configurable control switches for compatible amplifiers, effects units, loopers or other music equipment.

Customers usually upgrade from: Single footswitches, fixed-function amp switches and one-button external controllers.

Most commonly paired with: Boss amplifiers, multi-effects processors, loopers, rhythm units and compatible keyboards.

Our tip: Check whether the equipment you are connecting requires Latch or Momentary operation before setting up the FS-6. The independent mode switches are one of its biggest advantages.

Showroom feedback: The FS-6 remains a very useful accessory because it covers jobs that would otherwise require two separate footswitches. The independent polarity controls also make it much more adaptable than a fixed dual switch.
