Guitar Footswitch Pedals

Notes: Make a real difference by streamlining your creative process.

Now you can make your ideas come to life even faster.
Unparalleled flexibility when using MIDI and working with a DAW.
EX3 converts your foot's movement into a stream of MIDI messages, making it an essential tool for controlling thousands of VST plug-ins.

The pedal provides extensive configuration options for controlling parameters in DAWs and virtual instruments.

As a keyboard player, you can modulate any sound parameter. For guitarists, it makes controlling effects such as a wah-wah or pitchshifter much more comfortable.
If you are a DJ, it can replace a knob or slider which you will be able to control with your foot, thus freeing your hands.

A great tool for setting the tempo and syncing.

EX3 provides instant plug-and-play connectivity.
Power it from your computer via the USB port or via a standard USB adapter*. No batteries are required.

Get the most out of your equipment by not having to use your hands.
EX3 is more versatile than most expression pedals.

In addition, it has a beautiful, durable, aluminium design.

Notes: Wireless Foot Control for Digital Music Scores, YouTube, DAWs, Instruments, and Beyond

Ultra-compact and fully customizable, the FS-1-WL is an essential hands-free partner for all your creative needs. Control digital music score apps, YouTube videos, DAWs, and supported BOSS and Roland gear wirelessly over Bluetoothr. Or connect a MIDI cable to operate multi-effect processors, pedals, and other hardware. Expand your setup with external footswitches and an expression pedal. And use the dedicated editor/librarian to assign keyboard commands and MIDI messages to control nearly any software application or MIDI device.

Cable-Free Control for Your Creative World

The FS-1-WL flows smoothly into all your creative activities. Easily pair with devices over Bluetooth to operate a wide range of software apps and music gear.

Music Page Turner

Turn pages in digital music scores with the footswitches as you play. For example, you can move forward as you perform or page back to work on specific areas.

YouTube Learning

Take advantage of YouTube keyboard commands to learn faster with online lesson content. Keep your hands on your instrument and use your feet to control play/pause, rewind, playback speed, and more

DAW Control

Stay focused on capturing great performances with hands-free control of music recording software. Operate record, play, and other keyboard commands in your DAW. Or use the software's MIDI learn tools to configure setups on the fly.

BOSS and Roland Gear

Wirelessly change presets, control effects, and more on Bluetooth-equipped products like Pocket GT, Katana-Air, and Waza-Air, or the GX-100 via the Bluetoothr Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor. And control MIDI keyboards, hardware devices, and computers over Bluetooth using Roland's WM-1 and WM-1D.

Customizable Command

Using the FS-1-WL editor app on your computer or smartphone, you can change up the pre-configured setups to operate just about any software application or MIDI device. Assign keyboard commands to the footswitches, either single keystrokes or combinations with modifier keys like shift and control. Or call up MIDI mode and set up custom PC and CC messages for your devices. You can also create a library of configurations for different needs.

Built Like a BOSS

Backed by decades of BOSS design expertise, the FS-1-WL is comfortable to use and built to last. The footswitches are quiet and easy to press, with no click noises to interrupt your workspace or performance stage. Status LEDs provide high visibility and can be set to different colors with the editor app. Two AAA alkaline batteries offer up to 14 hours of operation on the move, and AC power is supported with an optional BOSS PSA adaptor.

Versatile Connections

Up to two external footswitches can be connected for expanded control with both MIDI messages and keyboard commands. And with an external expression pedal, you have continuous parameter control of any device that responds to MIDI CC messages. The FS-1-WL also features a TRS MIDI jack for wired operation of MIDI hardware devices.

Notes: The Meris Preset Switch brings 4-way control to your Meris pedalboard, allowing easy access to saving and recall of up to 4 internal presets to a single or even multiple* Meris pedals, with instantaneous preset switching. No external power is required, simply connect to your pedal's EXP input with the single included TRS cable.

You can also control multiple Meris pedals with the addition of a simple Y cable* to create a full pedalboard preset system. Compact and boasting a stylish black finish, the Meris Preset Switch is designed to be aesthetically placed in front of 2 Meris pedals, its width being that of two of the pedals.

If you're a fan of modifying your pedals or are an adventurous tinkerer, Meris has added a hidden PCB socket inside the Preset Switch which can be used for mini Arduino** DIY midi projects. This can turn your 4-way Preset Switch into a MIDI controller!
