FOOT SWITCH

Currently connected to the back of a Boss Gigcaster, this controls the different virtual effects banks for the Gigcaster 5 and Gigcaster 8. This ex version has the colored lights so it’s easy to see which effects bank you are in when switching around. If you connect a second one of these pedals to the back of the master pedal, you don’t need to switch to the second effects bank. The second pedal acts as the extended effects bank. Overall this is super functional, as I have access to tons of different effects, instead of using a messy and noisy pedalboard. Again, what I’m talking about applies to the Boss Gigcaster 5 and the Boss Gigcaster 8. I have not tried this on the Boss Katana. The pedal switch does come with a cable. Although you may want to purchase a longer cable if you intend to use this anywhere other than at the base of where your Gigcaster or amp is sitting. Very solidly constructed pedal. Like most Boss items, I expect this will always work if it is not smashed around, if the pedal goes through that kind of thing often. I would recommend getting a second, (or third and fourth) for traveling around if you are a touring musician. That way you are not bashing up your studio foot pedals. If you are planning on running your main effects through this, you will probably want your studio pedals working reliably. Without question. All metal pedal construction though, so the pedal should be able to take a normal level of abuse and keep working, if you needed it to.

As with everything from Boss/Roland this is really high quality. Using it with my Katana 500 bass head it works as a switch between the settings on Compression, Effects and Drive.

It works just as it’s supposed to. Great for switching between multiple patches in the Katana. I think it can switch between 9 different channels/patches. It did not cast a magic spell and make me good on guitar however, I wasn’t expecting it to do that. But would have been a nice surprise!

Este controlador de pie para amplificadores Boss está bastante cómodo, funcional, intuitivo y tiene muchos atajos rápidos, en poco tiempo le he sacado mucho provecho con ayuda del software para Boss Katana Gen 3 (Boss Tone Studio) lo único que me genera un poco de malestar es que el switch llamado “PANEL” solo permite hacer el cambio entre 2 Bancos de preset’s, me hubiese gustado que se pudiera ampliar mínimo a otro u otros dos bancos más para tener mayor control en la selección de preset’s para los eventos en vivo pero veo que está implicado el software que no te permite agregar o visualizar más bancos. La calidad del pedal es de primera.

Schnelle Lieferung, gute Qualität, einfache Handhabung. Empfehlenswert.
