Frequently asked questions
Are these footswitches compatible with non-Laney amplifiers?
The FS1-MINI uses a standard 1/4" jack and should work with most amps that accept footswitch input. The FS2-MINI is specifically designed for Laney amplifiers using a 6.3mm stereo TRS jack, so compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.
Can either footswitch operate without external power?
Both include optional 9V DC power jacks. The FS1-MINI and FS2-MINI can operate passively, though external power enables LED status indicators on the FS2-MINI; some Laney amps will power the LEDs directly through the signal cable.
Which is better for a crowded pedalboard setup?
The FS1-MINI occupies less physical space at 52×93×40mm compared to the FS2-MINI at 94×48×39mm, making it the better choice for extremely tight pedalboard configurations.
What is the difference in switching capability?
The FS1-MINI provides one button for toggling a single channel or function. The FS2-MINI offers two independent buttons with selectable momentary or latching behavior, allowing control of two amp functions simultaneously or in sequence.
