A must for hands free control. I bought all of the Boss FS series. I use them for all kinds of machines Roland/Boss (pedals of corse but recording equip as well), Digitech Vocalist VR and pedals, KRK monitors (sub woofer). Works great on the Boss RC series loopers expecally on the 505.

I dont know what the other review for this product is talking about. This is an extra switch used for pedals with tap tempos such as the Boss RC-2 or Phase Shifter. It doesnt take any time to learn how to use since it's function changes depending on what you plug it into. It can be used as a foot switch to tap in the tempo so that you dont have to reach down while on stage. It is exactly what it says it is and it is perfect for it. The linking function helps to organize my floor boards, it is really only useful if you own more than one linking floor board though.
Sound
Causes no sound quality loss.
Features
lets a person tap in a tempo, links with similar floor pedals.
Ease of Use
Couldnt be easier.
Quality
Causes no sound quality loss.
Value
Its cheap, It functions perfectly. Good value.
Manufacturer Support
What is there to support?
The Wow Factor
Im going to need more.
