Review: very good Boss switch - 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
Review: Works as it should - It appears to be a genuine product and works as it should. desertcart really needs to work on their packaging, though. The product's box looks like it has been abused a bit. Fortunately, the product was not damaged. This should have been shipped in a box, not an envelope and squished into the locker. BOSS products are pretty rugged and can withstand quite a bit of abuse.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wish I would have known this sooner
*by M***H on July 10, 2024*

This little device has been a game changer. We have the Electro Voice Evolve EV50M system. I read in a forum that I could use this foot pedal to toggle on/off the reverb/delays used for our vocals when we speak between songs, and it it works perfectly. We use a 10ft 1/4 inch instrument cable between the pedal plugin on the EV50M system and just plug it in to this foot pedal. When it is lit, vocal effects are on, when not lit, the vocal effects are off. Simple as that. Just tap on it with your foot. Before, we had to hit the mute button on our ipad to mute the vocal effects. This works so much better ... and it is not noticeable at all from the audience when turning the effects on and off. 5 BiG stars.
