Boss FS-6 Dual Footswitch

Boss FS-6 Dual Momentary/Latching Footswitch | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Boss FS-6 puts two independently configurable footswitches into a single, convenient unit — and uniquely, each switch can be independently set for either latch or momentary operation, giving players the flexibility to mix and match switching behaviors in a single footswitch controller. A TRS input jack allows single-cable connection to a compatible device, and the FS-6 can be daisy-chained with other BOSS footswitches for expanded control. Compatible with a wide range of keyboards, rhythm machines, guitar amplifiers, loop stations, and effects pedals that accept external footswitch control, the FS-6 is a versatile, no-fuss switching solution for any player who needs more hands-free control options than their main device provides.

Product Overview

The distinction between latch and momentary switching is a practical one that matters significantly in performance contexts. A latching footswitch toggles between states with each press — tap once to engage, tap again to disengage, with the state staying fixed between presses. A momentary footswitch activates the function only while the footswitch is physically held down, returning to its default state the moment it's released. Different performance situations call for different behaviors — a channel switch on an amplifier is typically best controlled with a latch switch, while a momentary function like a hold or freeze effect on a loop station or delay pedal is often better controlled with a momentary switch that releases when your foot lifts.

The FS-6 addresses this by making each of its two switches independently assignable to either mode — players can run one switch as latching and one as momentary simultaneously, or set both to the same mode, depending on the specific requirements of their rig and performance setup. This flexibility makes the FS-6 considerably more versatile than a standard dual footswitch that locks both switches to the same switching type.

Single-cable TRS connection simplifies the physical setup — a single 1/4" stereo TRS cable handles both switches simultaneously on devices that support TRS footswitch input, reducing cable clutter compared to running two separate TS cables. For devices that only accept individual TS inputs, separate 1/4" TS cables can be connected to each switch independently. The FS-6 can also be connected to other compatible BOSS footswitches — FS-5L, FS-5U, and AB-2 — for further extended control capability, and it operates from a 9V battery included in the box.

Ideal For

• Guitarists who need to control a loop station's record, play, and stop functions plus a separate tap tempo or effect toggle from a single footswitch unit
• Players with amplifiers, keyboards, rhythm machines, or effects processors that accept external footswitch input and need expanded hands-free control
• Performers who want the flexibility to assign one footswitch to latching and one to momentary behavior for different performance functions simultaneously
• Musicians who want a single-cable TRS connection to compatible devices for clean, minimal cable routing
• Guitarists in Idaho Falls building a complete live rig who need a reliable, versatile dual footswitch that works with a wide range of BOSS and third-party gear

Key Features

Two Independently Assignable Switches — Latch or Momentary
Each of the FS-6's two switches can be independently assigned to either latching or momentary operation — allowing players to run mixed switch behaviors (one latch, one momentary) simultaneously for different performance functions on the same device.

TRS Single-Cable Connection
A 1/4" TRS input jack allows both switches to be connected via a single stereo cable to any compatible device — reducing cable clutter and simplifying the physical footswitch connection in a live rig.

Individual TS Inputs for Separate Connection
Individual 1/4" TS inputs for each switch allow independent connection to devices that accept separate footswitch inputs rather than TRS stereo connections.

Expandable with Other BOSS Footswitches
The FS-6 can be connected to FS-5L, FS-5U, and AB-2 footswitches for further extended hands-free control capability across complex live setups.

Wide Compatibility
Compatible with a broad range of keyboards, rhythm machines, guitar amplifiers, loop stations, and effects pedals that accept external footswitch input — making it a versatile addition to virtually any performance rig.

Battery Powered
Operates from a single 9V battery (included) — no external power supply or dedicated power output required.
