Kustom KAC-FS201 Footswitch

This isn't a drawback of the product, exactly.. it's built to serve two purposes: switch the amp channel, and toggle the effects. It's just a limited device.

Doesn't affect the sound of the amp.

This pedal looks really sturdy, but the circuit board inside is held to the switchplate by four small metal tabs. If someone steps on the switches a little too hard, be prepared to buy another pedal, 'cause there's no repairing it.

Haven't attempted to contact customer service about it.

It does what it's supposed to do, but it's a little fragile for my taste. Not a very sturdy design, in my opinion.

It's the KAC-F201 footswitch for the Quad DFX series. I bought it for my 100DFX amp. 2 buttons, channel switching and effects on/off. Only a retard would be able to mess this up. It comes with a 6m cable, which should be enough for anyone. Plug it in and it works.

Has the same effect as pushing the buttons on the amp itself.

Just like the amp itself, it looks and feels like it could survive a nuclear war. Same goes for the cable. The housing is made of steel and the (steel) buttons feel solid as well. This will last a lifetime. I don't have to push hard to press them, which is good to me. The look is in the same style as the amp.

I first bought a Behringer footswitch for 20 bucks or so. It was a cheap piece of shit with plastic buttons and it required a 9v battery. I returned it when i tried it out once and bought the origional one for my amp. The guy at the store i bought is always nice and never makes a problem of anything. I guess this is not a review for the Kustom customer support so i'll won't give a rating since i've never dealth with them directly.

It's a footswitch. A good one. That's all there is to say really. Kinda a shame it didn't came standard with the amp, which i think it should for any amp in that price range (450 Euro's).
