BOSS FS-5U Momentary Footswitch (Unlatching)

The BOSS FS-5U Momentary Footswitch is a versatile, unlatching pedal designed to work seamlessly with electronic keyboards as a sustain pedal or for quickly engaging and disengaging effects processors.

As a reliable addition to BOSS's renowned range of stompboxes, the FS-5U stands out for its unique charm, remaining active only while it's pressed down. A practical example of its use would be to add expressive accents to specific musical phrases, such as during an instrumental solo, using a dramatic delay or reverb effect. There are times when only a momentary switch like this can deliver the desired impact.

Roland/BOSS offers two robust metal footswitches to suit different applications. The FS-5U (in silver) is a momentary "unlatch"-type footswitch, while the FS-5L (in black) is a latch-type footswitch featuring an LED status indicator. Both footswitches connect easily using standard guitar cables.
