HOSAFSC-384 Footswitch, Guitar-style, Single-latching

I have had or tried other latching foot switches, and ended up considering this to be the best.I use this to engage the Leslie effect on my Hammond clone. (Ferrofish B-4000)Using a footswitch for this purpose puts the pedal in constant use.I initially had a Boss FS-5L. the switch mechanism on this unit is micro-tiny and eventually stopped working.I did not get another because it is not a durable component...light duty only. I would not recommend that, although it does have a battery powered on/off light.I then purchased a Hosa FSC-501 footswitch, because it came in a metal casing, like a flat "sustain" pedal.The switch in this seems durable and is bigger than the Boss. The downside of this pedal is it is not well balanced, so it moves around when you use it...It is a nuisance to have to chase it and keep moving it back.The back end "jumps" up when you press the front down! This pedal would be ok if it were attached to something stable. I returned that.Which led me to the FSC-384. The box holding the switch is very stable, well balanced and not prone to traveling. Also, the switch itself is a standard stomp box switch, which is heavy duty and easily replaced if necessary, which is highly unlikely because it is a common and robust mechanism. The pedal is big enough to be stable, but not too big... I also like that you can disconnect your cord when in transit.I guess those who are using it barefoot or with very soft shoes would not like it, but it is no different than most stomp boxes. It's is perfect for my application.

Nothing fancy. Does the job switching between clean and drive well at a good price. Works with Blackstar HT Studio 20.

Works perfectly!! Hooked it up to my Mackie HRS120 sub, which has a foot switch connection, and it allows me to switch between the full spectrum on my monitors (Mackie HR824’s), or having the monitors crossed over with the sub. It’s brilliant, and simple. Love it! I’ve had it hooked up for only a couple days, but the build on it seems fine, and looks like it will last. I keep the switch on the desk, and run the cable between my two sets of monitors.

Does the job. Seems very well built and sturdy. I gave it only 4 stars because the foot pressure to active the switch is more than I would like it to be, and quite a bit more than the one other pedal I have.

So when I got my amp (fender frontman 25r) like 20 years ago the place that sold it to me also sold me a used fender switch pedal to go from clean to overdrive... and it never worked. No clue why. And it was used and I was lazy so I never returned it or troubleshot it really. A couple days ago I was looking at other guitar stuff and this pedal showed up as a suggested item, so I read the description, realized it would probably be the right thing for my amp, so i put in the order. It shows up, I plug it in, it just works, no issues at all. I can't believe it took me this long. I had been using a multi-fx pedal for overdrive instead of my amp for all this time, just silly.Now I can't speak to durability, I literally got this thing yesterday. But it seems solid. The price was great. It does the job.

Pretty solid construction. Good switch. Does the job.

I bought this single latching, TS pedal as a simple on/off switch for my Ampeg bass amp, works like a charm, no issues. Quite, no pops, etc. Great value.

The pedal works with my GK MB500 for switching on and off the boost mode, but makes a loud click though the amp when using the switch while playing, the clicking noise is barely noticeable when the switch is used when not playing
