Best Guitar Amplifier Footswitches & Controllers of 2026

"I'm really impressed with the Hotone Dual Footswitch Pedal. Its compact, sturdy design fits perfectly on my pedalboard, and the switches feel great underfoot. Installation was a breeze—just plug and play—and it's a real confidence booster during live gigs. I especially appreciate the reliable tactile feedback every time I use it. Honestly, it's a fantastic addition to my setup and I highly recommend it!"

"This footswitch works flawlessly with my HX Stomp XL. The switches are smooth and reliable, and the build quality is excellent for the price. I’ve had it for a while now and it’s held up well in regular use. I’d definitely buy it again without hesitation."

"I chose this switch to add more control to my Boss RC500 looper because I found the official options too big and expensive. This pedal is compact, feels solid, and is very reasonably priced. The two momentary switches do exactly what I need, and even though it lacks LED indicators, it’s still an outstanding value for the money."

"I appreciate the compact design and the way this pedal integrates seamlessly with my Spark 2 amp. The build quality feels solid, and the ability to use an expression pedal is a huge plus for me when performing live. The wireless control is super convenient, though initial setup took a bit of patience. Once it’s running, it really enhances my setup."

"As someone who plays different guitars on stage, I find the Control X eliminates the hassle of walking to my amp to switch settings. The small footprint fits perfectly on my pedalboard, and I love that I can power it with the internal battery or leave it plugged in. Just need to remember to unplug when not in use."

"After sorting out the Bluetooth connection, this has been an excellent wireless controller for my Spark gear. The metal casing feels bombproof, and the customizable overlays are a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend it for anyone using Positive Grid products!"

"I really like how sturdy and easy to install these pedal toppers are. They fit on most of my switches, and the height difference helps prevent accidental presses. The fact that they’re transparent means the switch lights still shine through, which is great for my setup."

"For me, these are super comfortable to use with just socks or even barefoot, and they give my feet a bigger target to hit. They fit tight and never pop off, which I appreciate. Plus, they’re affordable and feel high-quality."

"I found these toppers easy to apply and effective, but keep in mind they come with a noticeable blue, sparkly tint that’s more prominent than in some product photos. That said, the sparkles don’t bother me and the price for the quantity is pretty good."

"As a multi-instrumentalist, I've found the FS-6 to be incredibly versatile and robust for my needs—whether it's controlling sustain on multiple keyboards or effects on my saxophone. The ability to change polarity, choose between momentary or latching, and chain multiple units together makes my setup both flexible and streamlined. While they're a bit of an investment and each needs a 9V battery, I believe they're absolutely worth it for any gigging musician."

"I use the FS-6 with my Boss ME 20 Multi Effects and Fender Blues Jr amp, and it works exactly as intended. The switches are compact, sturdy, and simple to operate. Although some people mention the battery requirement, I easily solved it with an adapter. This pedal's versatility is limited only by your creativity—I even use it as a sustain pedal for my Yamaha piano. Pricey, sure, but it's a great product if you need a dual switch."

"For my Roland JC-40, the FS-6 is a high-quality, versatile switch that lets me handle reverb, distortion, and chorus functions with ease. Build quality is top-notch, and while a battery is needed (with no standard power supply option), that's just a minor inconvenience for the reliability and functionality it offers."

"I find the compact size and portability of this device really convenient for my gigs. I use it mainly with forScore and tempo app, and it’s easy to operate and reliable during performances. The only minor issue is having to unpair and re-pair between devices, but overall, it’s a cute, functional gadget for a singing drummer like me."

"For me, the small footprint and rechargeable battery make this page turner stand out. It fits perfectly on my crowded pedalboard and I love not having to mess with batteries anymore. The USB-C charging is super handy, and it’s probably the best value for a page turner I’ve found so far."

"What I like most is the ease of use and reliability—I no longer have to stop and bend over to control my iPad during performances. This device works every single time, which gives me a lot of confidence on stage. It’s great having something dependable for my shows."

"I love that these are easy to install and they fit all my pedal buttons perfectly. The fact that they're cheap yet sturdy makes them a great buy—I've had no issues with them staying on or wearing out."

"These covers made a big difference for me, especially since I often play barefoot or in socks at home. They're easy to put on, and using the pedals is now much more comfortable. The clear color doesn't block any lights. I was concerned about the plastic quality, but they're actually quite strong."

"The bright colors make it easy to see my pedals on stage, and the quality feels solid. It's nice having different sizes and colors to organize everything. Definitely adds flair and functionality!"

"These switch toppers are exactly what I needed. They fit solidly on my pedals and don't budge, even after hours of use. The quality is great, and the price can't be beat. I've tried them with both tennis shoes and boots—no problems at all. They also make the LED lights on my Helix and HX Stomp XL stand out, which is a nice bonus."

"After struggling with aluminum caps that either gripped too tightly or interfered with my switches, I gave these plastic toppers a try, and they're perfect for my setup. They fit every button I've tried, stay in place without being too tight, and make it much easier to hit pedals on a crowded board. I'm definitely buying more for myself and some for friends."

"These toppers make it so much easier to control my effects pedals while performing. Even when I'm not looking down, I can easily find and press the right button. They've held up great after months of use, and their low price makes them a total no-brainer. If you're on the fence, just get them—you won't regret it."

"I searched for a cheaper alternative, but nothing matched the full footswitch functionality with the RC-3 looper—other brands only provided the stop feature. The FS-7 delivers single-press stop and seamless memory slot shifting. I especially appreciate the ability to record different chords on each slot and switch on the fly while improvising. Its compact design fits perfectly on my setup, and I love that no external power is required with the RC-3 for all main features. Boss nailed it again."

"I bought two FS-7s—one for my Boss GT-1 and another for my GT-100. With the GT-1, it’s an ideal stompbox extension, letting me add two more footswitches for effects or preset control. The included TRS cable even allows shared power with my GT-1, streamlining my board. Compared to the FS-5 and FS-6, the FS-7 is a major space saver and upgrade. If you own a Boss GT series, this is a must-have for expanding your setup."

"This footswitch is a rock-solid, compact addition to my pedalboard. I like that it offers both latching and momentary modes and can be set as normally open or closed. It’s incredibly versatile and sturdy for gigging, and while it’s a bit pricier, I feel it’s worth every penny."

"This was my first MIDI controller and I absolutely love it. Arturia's build quality and design have really impressed me, and although 25 keys feel a bit limited sometimes, the portability and compact nature are invaluable. The included software, especially Analog Lab, was a great introduction and made me a fan of their whole ecosystem. Arturia keeps offering great deals on their plugins—it’s smart business and a win for users like me."

"I picked up the MiniLab 3 for my live looping setup, and it’s been fantastic. Even though the keys aren’t full size, they’re still very playable, and the pads work well. The real highlight is Arturia’s high-quality bundled software and powerful MIDI control setup, which was easy to configure. I just wish the software was available for iPad. Overall, it’s an excellent compact controller for any home studio."

"I’m really happy with this controller—it works seamlessly with Logic, FL, and Ableton. The big, semi-weighted key bed feels great, and the endless encoder knobs are super satisfying to use. The DAW control feature is the main selling point for me, letting me manage everything in my DAW intuitively. Software bundle is strong, though creating all the accounts is a slight hassle. Still, it’s a fantastic and fun tool for music production."

"I used this switch with my Headrush MX5 and was impressed by the higher quality and noticeably smoother switching compared to the original. It fits perfectly for my needs."

"This was a perfect solution for my footswitch issue on the Headrush MX-5. It works reliably every time, though it does require some soldering skills to install."

"I replaced a broken switch on my Tube Screamer using this product, and so far, the quality has held up through multiple rehearsals and gigs. I'm very satisfied with its durability."
