BOSS FS-6 Dual Foot Switch Review

It's been a couple of days since I've gotten my hands on this. I didn't have a chance to use it with both of its switches, since the Hosa TRS cable I ordered has not arrived yet. I'm using this with Roland Cube 40XL, especially for the looper. This pedal is really sturdy, in fact it is so sturdy that I find it hard to press in home with my bare feet lol (maybe would be easier to press with shoes/on stage), and I sometimes find myself spending tens of minutes for trying to loop just one phrase. You need to have a really good sense of rhythm to use this for the looper, as Cube 40XL's looper's playing detector that starts recording when you start playing DOES NOT engage when you use the pedal, you need to start playing as soon as you press the pedal (you still can start the looper from the amp itself). Yet, when you do get used to it, it makes wonders. It's also annoying that you have to unplug EVERY cable that's plugged in it to prevent power consumption, which can only be supplied with a 9v battery; another reason for down rating. I recommend this because it is an all-purpose device with latch/unlatch and polarity options, but if you're going to buy this for a Roland Cube, you'd better convince yourself that you really love music and have the time and patience for it, since this is a bit overpriced and MAY(not if you have a really good sense of rhythm) require you to re-record your phrases for the "perfect loop" time after time.

EDIT: My cable has arrived, and I've changed my opinion about this pedal. You will still need a sense of rhythm for using this with the looper of a Cube XL amp, but only as much as an average music person would, no more. I was annoyed earlier because I should not have switched the B pedal (the one for engaging the looper) to the "unlatched" mode; it needs to be in the latch mode, and your amp should be in the latch mode as well (to do that, you turn off your amp and press and hold the tap/stop button near your looper while opening your amp again). After doing this, it will be very easy to engage and disengage looper. Keep your A pedal in unlatched mode, since if it is in latch mode it will not only stop the loop, but delete it as well, acting as if you're pressing and holding the tap/stop button on the amp; whereas if you keep it in unlatched, it will stop the loop if you just press it, and remove the loop if you hold it. With this setting on your pedal and your Cube XL amp, and a good guitar and a wah pedal of your preference, you just can't go wrong. You will be all set for rockin' out.

Also, note that I only reviewed this item for use with a Cube amp, whereas this is an all-purpose item which you probably can use with hundreds of other items, such as keyboards, other amps, processors, etc. And the absence of a power adapter is unnecessary as the battery is only used for powering up the LED lights which you won't really need. I didn't try it without the battery but I read it in a comment in reply to another comment above on this page.

"Now, with regards to the battery - it is only used to power the LED Indicator...! It is not necessary, or required for foot switch operation. As such it lasts a very long time."
