Works great with ME-50

| Review By: TheSever | 1 month, 2 weeks ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

I purchased this in order to enable/disable the compressor on my Boss ME-50 unit and it works like a charm.  I did need to buy a splitter as the footpedal input of the ME-50 is TRS (stereo) and can support two of these pedals to do two different things.  Plugging a mono cord into the stereo input and this pedal enabled the wrong functionality, requiring the splitter. 

Quality:

Seems to have the same durability as the rest of the unit, which is a good thing.

Value:

I didn't have to buy a separate compressor, so that's a good thing!  Although the cost of this comparable to a cheap compressor...

Overall:

Very simple product, no bells and whistles..  The manual in the packaging really doesn't provide much guidance, but you know what you're getting and what you need it for.  If you don't then you probably shouldn't be buying it...

If you need a non-latching foot switch, just spend the extra few bucks for the Boss FS-5U. It's cheaper than taking someone to the movies next Friday night. I like the switchable polarity for various uses and it's comfy to use without shoes on. It's only sending a simple signal, so I used the crappy cable that came with my first guitar. It's wide and heavy enough to be stable on carpet and can hook right onto the Boss latching foot switch (FS-5L) that you will eventually need. It does have sharp edges , so be careful what it touches during transportation!  Too bad it's made in China, but if only everything else in the music world could be made so well!

I just got this pedal and it works fine,although I did have to find a cable for it.You would think that they would include one with it.I also had to by the power supply for my BR600 (slso not included), and that has a ground hum.When I contacted Boss they said I may need a Power supply filter.I guess they expect us to make their product work .

Awesome Momentary Pedal!

I grabbed the Boss FS-5U Footswitch for use with my Boss BR-900CD, and it rocks! The compact metal casing and rubber bottom is very sturdy! The switch itself is made of plastic, but is still better than the Roland DP-2 that I was considering. I had also considered the Boss FS-6 dual pedal, but that model requires batteries or an AC adapter. The FS-5U requires neither, only needing a single 1/4" TS (mono) cable. The various foot switches that Boss makes can attach to the sides of one another, which is very convenient! However, this does create some sharp metal edges that can scratch other gear, so store it carefully. This is an excellent no latching footswitch, and I highly recommend it!
