Unlock Hands-free, Wire-free Control of Your Rig
From turning sheet music to rolling the next take on your DAW, the BOSS FS-1-WL is a Bluetooth-enabled footswitch that teems with hands-free utility. Three fully programmable footswitches allow you to dial in the FS-1-WL with a trio of different functions, offering both MIDI and HID (keyboard commands) modes for compatibility with keyboards, software, mobile devices, and more. What’s more, the FS-1-WL can also be controlled with a standard BOSS TRS MIDI cable or USB connection (USB not compatible with HID mode) for the time-tested reliability of a cord connection. Three switches not enough? The FS-1-WL’s extra jacks enable you to connect two additional external footswitches, or even an expression pedal for instant and precise adjustments! Finally, the FS-1-WL is fully ready to take on any stage, backed by legendary BOSS reliability and a long-lasting 14-hour battery life.
Note: BOSS/Roland’s ever-growing catalog of Bluetooth-enabled products now includes amps, pedals, keyboards, and more! That being said, it’s always a good idea to check with your Sweetwater Sales Engineer at (800) 222-4700 to ensure compatibility.

Additional jacks are available to add up to two more external footswitches for expanded functionality and control. Last but not least, the FS-1-WL also includes a jack to add an expression pedal, allowing for effortless, instantaneous fine tuning.
Send MIDI or keyboard commands
A rear-panel switch allows you to switch your FS-1-WL between MIDI mode and HID mode, offering versatile control over a variety of different devices: MIDI mode sends PC/CC messages for functionality with MIDI-compatible devices, while HID mode sends keyboard commands (or combinations of keyboard commands for use with macros) to control programs and devices. Besides the FS-1-WL’s built-in Bluetooth functionality, this wireless footswitch can also be set up with a standard TRS MIDI cable or USB (HID mode not supported with USB) if you’re looking to stick to an old-school wired rig.
