    I use this switch to complete a small looper boss (RC2).
    It works for several years without problem, I can not remember
    even more when I bought!

    Well, the FS-5U footswitch contact Fugitive.
    I only use on rare occasions. I connected to the reverse function of my Boss Loop Station RC20XL.
    We can not be simpler. Carcass to the air very solid but I think we should still be careful not to hit too hard on it at the time of excitation.
    What I love about this little pedal is that it can be connected to another FS-5U or FS-5L, it is anti slip but mostly it works without batteries and power supply and that c ' is good for the planet.
    The less I say the design, a bit too harsh for my taste. We say a spare part of a synth 80s. Yuck! When ignoble for music. Finally it is a detail

    Luxurious outside (brushed aluminum) and inside (of good quality PCB)
    But then the switch: there is no other word: this is my shit! Just open and see the "thing" to understand that it can not hold for long.

    I have been using ... a bunch of years on my synth as a expression pedals (sustain).
    I had some time ago for the sake of switch, as if inverted silent ... whereas the polarity rglant nothing worked. Has since calmed down ...
    Ratio Q / P mdiocre enough indeed: can not remember the exact purchase price but I know c'tait much for the era.
    With the exprience, I would look srement cheaper ... But overall my FS-5U done his job properly ... Fortunately! ;)

    I do not understand that certain notices be as STRID with this switch ...

    I have 4 years, I used dmar / stop my rhythm box, I never had a single problem with it.

    Certainly it is a bit CHRE, but it is good quality trs, the aluminum case is super solid and you just switch the Burin {I still have my Rangers at the foot of the jou when I scratch it always cash! }

    In my opinion it is a good investment!

    I use it for 6 months. It is a solid footswitch TRS (collection outdoor aluminum, as the pedal multi effects boss) I disassemble the indoor is indeed impeccable, perfect welds c. Nothing to say. Is a switch to reverse the polarity. It works without batteries (not mine it is to prciser becaufe Boss ds both the good idea to make a footswitch with LED chtite any mimi to say "I am branchquot;, something that is is nothing much by the way)

    - How long have you use it?
    I use it for the past six months, with my Roland Cube 30 to change channels.

    - What is so special that you like most and least?
    Nice from the outside with aluminum hull, I wanted to blame him as Negraval the somewhat cheap switch. However for now it holds up, although I'm not skinny ... We'll see in time ... Anyway for now it fills its function very well!

    - Have you tried many other models before buying it?
    Not really saw it was the only in-store ... At the same time it is "a" footswitch.

    - How would you rate the quality / price?
    Having had a gift that's fine, but it's true that the price and gérénal high enough to what it is. So I would say it's…

    Having had a gift that's fine, but it's true that the price and gérénal high enough to what it is. So I would say it's his biggest fault. It is a pity that by being a handyman at least it can be built easily.

    - With experience, you do again this choice? ...
    As of today, yes, to the extent that I am fully satisfied, but I would look forward to the opportunity side story to avoid paying full price.

    In the end I put 8: 9 for the overall quality of the pedal - an excessive price for

    My son uses it every day for a little over a year, she just fell down: the small (lowercase) switch in the pedal is dead, spring off the drawbridge, which has nothing surprising given the small size of the thing.
