![]() Lets say the Tip is channel 1, the Ring (the section below the first black ring, but above the second black ring) is Chanel 2, and the Shaft (everything below the second black dividing ring) is the common ground. You’ll see it has a tip, then 2 black plastic rings down its shaft. Lets say the tip is its only Channel, so lets call it Channel 1, and the shaft below the black plastic divider ring is a ground.Ī stereo cable is the same size and fit, and at first glance looks exactly the same as a standard guitar cable. The plug on it has a tip, and a shaft seperated by what looks like a black plastic ring. So a Mono cable is what you use to plug your guitar into amp or pedalboard. ![]() Lets presume any cable I mention here is standard guitar or footswitch size, which is 1/4” / a quarter inch. Like a light switch.Ĭabling! If like me you was unsure what the hell the difference was between a mono cable and a stereo one, or how to tell them apart, then read on for a basic guide! One press of the footswitch latches it into the on position, and another press will unlatch it, or turn it off. Momentary means that the effect or channel is only applied/switched when your foot is holding down the switch. Now for the fun stuff! Every day is a school day Innards look much cheaper than Boss’s stuff but for £5 vs £45. I ordered one once, and was surprised to find it was half metal in its build lol. But they do even slot together just like the fs-5l do. They don’t have polarity switching available though. The bespeco pedals are available from dv247 for like £5 or something ridiculous, and they are a clone of the Boss fs-5l. Might wanna google for Boss Fs-6 and Katana to see if anyone else has used it to good effect, just incase its somehow incompatible! I presume that should all work, as its basically the same as the Boss recommended double Fs-5L’s. To go back to your suggestion in your original post, the Fs-6 should work fine, you’ll need to set both sides to latching and as it has 3 outputs (left mono, right mono and stereo) you can choose whether to use a dual mono to stereo 1/4” Y cable, or a Stereo to Stereo 1/4” cable. its also active, so requires a battery or a boss style centre negative mains adaptor. Its £60 but you can choose your led colours. I would presume he has wired some wizardry in so as to let you change from say Bank A channel 1 to Bank B channel 2 just by selecting whatever channel or bank’s footswitch it is that you wanted, in one switch. Its a 4 channel footswitch also built by bright onion which appears perfectly suited to the katana 50. He builds one with leds too for an extra £10. I imagine for that mini dual latching footswitch you could opt for its single stereo output, and use a stereo to stereo 1/4” cable to plug it into the amp. ![]() Thats basically the exact same as the vein tap pedal you linked to. It doesnt need batteries or power to work it says. One of their products is basically a Boss Fs6 clone (which is effectively two Boss fs-5l’s but in one housing) which is this: ![]() I recently bought a true bypass loop pedal from them, and I’ve gotta say, it came quick, works exactly as it should etc, and has the brightest led on the board lol! It works great, but it requires a bit of tap dancing sometimes.įor example, if I want to change from Bank 1 Channel 1, to Bank 2 Channel 2, you need to press the bank footswitch then the channel footswitch, which takes a second or so longer depending how fast you are!īright onion pedals (well reviewed everywhere) are a Brighton based pedal company who make to order. ![]() I use 2 Fs5-L’s and a double mono to single stereo 1/4” Y cable. ![]()
