Works well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very good Boss switch *by A***R on December 8, 2025* a must have pedal foot switch, lock together more then one, built well,works great. i use them for my keyboard and my guitar pedals Great product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Quality but not meant for patch/preset switching *by A***O on November 25, 2024* I bought this first not realizing you need a "Momentary" pedal in order to change presets/patches on a multi fx unit. It is confusing and even after hours and hours of scouring the Internet trying to find a clear answer I got both yes you can, and no you can't. So when I saw "Yes you NEED a latching pedal to change presets" it made sense to me seeing Unlatching/Momentary switches require you to keep the switch pressed down for the effect to go and stay on, and then release the switch to turn the effect off. And even Boss support told me it could be done with this pedal but not in my experience and I tried everything (worked but kept scrolling through patches until pressing switch again). So it's different with changing patches/presets on a multi fx device. This is a great and high quality pedal but if you need something to switch presets/patches on your multi FX unit you will want to get the LS-5U (worked perfect for Boss GT1000CORE). I learned the hard way but at least now I know and hope this helps and saves somebody else all the trouble I had to go through :( ## Frequently Bought Together - Boss FS-5L Latching Footswitch - Boss FS-5U Non-Latching Footswitch - Cable Matters 2-Pack 1/4 Inch TS to TS Electric Guitar Cable - 6ft, Guitar Amp Cord, Instrument Cable for ElectricGuitar, Mandolin, Bass AMP, Keyboard, Mixer, Equalizer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/5145461-boss-fs-5l-footswitch-for-on-off-control-of-your](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/5145461-boss-fs-5l-footswitch-for-on-off-control-of-your) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
