Description
Not every switch on your board needs to hold a state — sometimes you just need a clean, momentary trigger, and that’s exactly what the BOSS FS-5U delivers. Housed in the same rugged silver metal shell BOSS is known for, this unlatching footswitch sends a signal only while your foot is pressing down, making it ideal for tap-tempo inputs, channel-select functions on amps, or any control that calls for a press-and-release action rather than an on/off latch.
It connects with a standard 1/4″ guitar cable, so wiring it into your rig is as simple as plugging in any other pedal. No batteries, no power supply, no setup fuss — just a durable mechanical switch built to survive years of stage abuse. Since compatibility depends on the specific gear you’re triggering, it’s worth checking your amp or effect’s manual to confirm it accepts a momentary-type switch before you commit.
Compact and low-profile, the FS-5U tucks easily onto a pedalboard or sits at your feet without getting in the way of your other stomps.
