It’s a foot switch.

By Sweetwater Customer

It's a foot switch. It works. Learning how to connect it to the Digitech Trio Plus so the buttons did what they were supposed took an Internet search but once over that hurdle the foot switch switched quite nicely. Highly recommended add-on to the Trio Plus, don't leave home without it.

Substitute foot switch

By Sweetwater Customer

I was in need of a foot switch for a PERFORM-VG ( stand mounted guitar and vocal effects box). TC Helicon was back ordered, so Rob, my sales consultant suggested this foot switch which was in stock and could ship immediately. It worked like a champ! Problem Solved! Thanks Rob!

Gets it Done, in Spades!

By Pedro from Chesapeake
Music Background: Musical family, many styles.

It basically eliminates the need of bending over and using your finger, trying to press a small black triangle button while dealing with poor stage lighting as you scroll through your saved loop banks. A must have for hands free operation on dimly lit stages. A great accessory for start/stop and scrolling through pre-recorded single phrase backing tracks quickly and efficiently. The only thing I would change is that it has a slight slope to it, I shimmed the front lip to make it less angled on my sloped pedalboard. A big thanks to my sales engineer, Josh and the whole "Sweetwater" team for providing an awesome buying experience again.

December 2, 2018

love it

By Richard M. from Brunswick

This 3 button switcher is really well built. The switcher box is slanted so it will fit infront of my pedalboard. Switching is silent and easy. No problems hitting the wrong button, because the buttons are spaced well. The black and white color scheme helps see it on poorly lit stages. Used with the Sdrum it allows you to hit the crash and switch between drum intercity and style. Having the ability to do this while playing adds a level of realism with the sdrum that I find amazing to practice with.

No More Stop Strumming

By Road D. from Midwest
Music Background: Gigging Musician

First this pedal has three modes you can choose from. Read the Trio+ owners manual for details.

The pedal allows you to focus on playing and start/stop without having to quickly reach for a switch which is always on your mind when wanting to switch gears. Its a must to keep your loops seamless.

The FSX3 allows the Trio+ to be table top or top of amp height where adjustments can be easily made while your feet do their work on the floor.

I own alot of guitars and amps but this Digitech combo is the piece of gear I look forward to showing off the most when friends that play stop by.

Currently running a Boss ME80 multifx through the Trio+ send/return jack then out to a PA or guitar amp with a full range speaker set clean. Heaven.

Digitech FS3X Foot Switch

By Marty
Music Background: Gigging musician.

Very good foot switch. This is the second one I have purchased. Well made and durable. Only down side is the buttons are close together, so you have to be careful not to hit the wrong one by mistake. Other than that, no complaints. I use them with the Trio and Jam Man pedals. Does the job very well.

Feet don't fail me now.....

By Wally from St louis
Music Background: Strictly non pro.

This switch seems to be built for the long haul. Metal box and solid feeling switches. Nothing cheap or flimsy about the unit. The cord to the switched unit is not a real heavyweight but then again it probably isn't needed as it wouldn't normally be walked on constantly. It does roll up compactly for pedalboard use. I would like it to be right angled plugs to save a bit of room on a board but it's no worse than the guitar cord.

Great

By Rick from AZ
Music Background: Hobbiest

I have a TRIO that I use this foot switch with, the TRIO has three modes, the foot switch changes between the mode a lot easier than bending over and doing by hand, also switches between the twelve voicings.

This little gadget works great on small venues, where you are playing by yourself. It works like an adjustable jam track, I play along to this a lot.

It works!

By Curtis from Monterey, CA

It does what it should, and seems to be made well. It does make using the Trio easier.

It gets four stars just because it's only a switch, and is not particularly innovative. However, the Trio itself gets five stars!

Well built and works great

By Kristen S. from MI
Music Background: Hobbyist

Not a lot to say about a foot switch but this one is sturdy and makes using the Trio+ pedal way easier. If you're getting the Digitech Trio+ this foot switch is worth the extra coin. I think Sweewater should have some sort of special where they're packaged together. :) The only reason I didn't give this a 5 rating is because it's a footswitch. You really can't be blown away by a switch but this one really is a must-have for the complex Digitech pedals.

digitech FS3 Foot Switch

By Paul C. from Lynn Ma
Music Background: Hobby instrument player

Needs to be able to (unless I'm not using it correctly) choose pedal options in both directions back and forth, not just in one direction. Like when you are choosing a different beat on the Trio band creator. Other than that it is well made and does other functions flawlessly.

Nice optional devise. The way the RP360 operates, This makes it easy to "Scroll" between "Pedalboard" set ups.If your going to Gig out with the RP360 this is a must. And it works well.

Works but shouldn't be necesssary

By Tim

This seems to work fine, but the only reason I or most anyone else would need it is because you can't turn off the overdub function on DigtTech looper, or most other ones. Because you can't, it's pretty much impossible to simply record a phrase and then either play over it or switch it off, unless you are Misty Copeland. If I wanted to do overdubs I probably wouldn't be trying to do it live and on the fly, and you don't need or want a footswitch for pre-recording accompaniments. Think of it as an additional $ to make the looper functional.

Great addition to Trio

Way less money than Helicon switch and well made. Makes jamming much easier. Nice size and layout.

Does the job but.....

By BLT from Silver City NM
Music Background: Performer, educator

I bought this for use with the Jam Man Solo XT, and wish I'd bought it much sooner. It really makes using the pedal much easier, especially live. That said, I can't figure why the engineers/designers didn't design in a start function as well as the stop. Mine came without any instructions, so maybe I'm missing something. A mild re-design of the Jam Man device could include all the functions of this pedal for only the addition of two or three square inches of space. It's easy to over shoot the numbers when using the buttons to scan up and down, so that takes a little practice. Sturdy, and delivers on what it says it will do.

March 26, 2017

Nice add-on

By T-dogg from Detroit
Music Background: Beginner with 45 years experience

Had the Trio-Plus for a week before I ordered this foot switch. It enables a smoother & higher level of functionality, and turns the device itself into a proper tabletop control unit (and uses them second hands!). Enhances the use and enjoyment for not too much money. No issues with set-up or operation, simple controls work consistently well. I'd do it again.

March 23, 2017

Does what it should

By Steve N. from Fallon, NV

How excited can you get about a foot switch? That's why it's not a 5...
But it does its job, and makes things a GREAT deal easier... wish I'd ordered it sooner, for sure. (The looper function on the RP1000 is almost unusable without this - it gets so aggravating I think all but those with the patience of a saint will give it up. But with this? No worries, mate! :-) Smooooth sailing! :-)

Back Saver`

By Beans from Maine

A must have if you are using a Trio or Trio+ ... unless, of course, you enjoy bending over. My back says, thank you.

I don't use the Trio for composing, just for have bandmates to practice with. Tons of fun to stomp on this and be surprised at the next groove that comes along.

Great pedal. The TRS cable that comes with it works, but I would not trust it on the road...kinda flimsy.

Buy it.

A must-have for hands-free control/function changes!!!

By Josh from Upstate NY
Music Background: Guitarist of 2 deacdes

I bought this footswitch to use with the DigiTech Whammy DT, to control the function/ settings changes hands-free while I play. This is soooooo worth the extra little bit of the money for this to be able to change the settings while playing at home, during practices or live without having to stop playing, bend down to switch the settings, then keep playing.

Works for both the Whammy section AND the drop/raise tune sections of the pedal. Will work with a few other DigiTech pedals as well, but I only have experience with it on the Whammy DT. And glad I bought it, because it makes changing functions extremely easy and hands-free, which is a huge thing if you about ease of control and functionality during playing.

Buttons too close / Feet not secure

By Curtis L. from Austin, TX

Functionally, the FS3X is a solid pedal and is an excellent addition to the RP360XP to extend its live performance capabilities.

My primary complaint is that the foot switches are too close together (2-1/4" center-to-center).

I wear men's US size 11 shoes, most of them with soles that are 4-3/4" wide, meaning that in order to press the center button without pressing one (or both!) of the side buttons, I have to angle my foot.

This seems an odd oversight on the part of DigiTech engineers, since the RP360XP buttons are more widely spaced (though still not generously, I have to say). This is not a deal-breaker, but it could be a show-stopper if you accidentally press more than one switch in a live show! ;-)

Another complaint: the adhesive rubber foot pads have already fallen off after less than two months of use. They should have been screwed into the metal case instead of relying on adhesive. The painted metal bottom surface makes it pretty slippery, so I'm forced to replace them for the unit to be usable. Again, not a huge deal, but it seems another oversight by DigiTech's designers. (The RP360XP's rubber feet are starting to fall off, as well. [Sigh])

Bought an RP360 but needed more control over bank selection, so I emailed Carson McClain at SWEETWATER and had him send me one. Got the footswitch in a few days, way sooner than I expected, and was on my way to making cool music with my band .... If you have an RP360, you need to get one of these footswitches as well.

Does the job

By Bill H. from Green Bay, Wi.

I bought the FS3X to use with my newly purchased Trio+. It has made it so much easier to work with, since now I can have the Trio+ on my desk but still have foot control available. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is, the quality of the connecting cable leaves a little to be desired. It's OK for home use, but the molded ends wouldn't last long on a stage and the stiff casing wants to stay kinked up...looking for someone to snag a foot on a dark stage.

March 11, 2016

Is what it is

By Sweetwater Customer

It's sturdy and does what it is supposed to though it feels cheap and clunky. One has to wonder why standardized foot pedals could not be used instead. Overall, the whole setup is a disappointment.

Well made.....low cost

By Eric B. from Bloomington, IL
Music Background: singer songwriter...solo performer

Doesn't work quite like I thought it would but it does work. Another button or two would be a huge improvement for true "hands free" operation. My major issue is with the unit that it is supposed to control. The Trio Plus needs a display screen and easier way to store and recall specific song tracks in my opinion for use on stage in live performance situations.

DigiTech FS3X Footswitch

By Lido R. from Rhode Island

The DigiTech FS3X Footswitch is very convenient regarding remote control within the DigiTech Trio Pedal. The Trio can be used as your master stomp box as well. More DigiTech stomp boxes can be chained to the Trio by using the AMP output on the Trio. The last stomp box in the chain should ultimately connect to your mixer. Also, the MIXER output on the Trio, should directly connect to your mixer too using a second channel to solely produce the bass and drum parts. For Trio inputs, one is designated as CONTROL specifically for the use of the FS3X Footswitch. The other input is for GUITAR. However, don't be afraid to connect your guitar first to a multi-effects station. Then use the output of the multi-effects station to connect to the GUITAR input of the Trio. DigiTech produces several great different guitar multi-effects stations. This way you have a multitude of sounds to play, layer, and experiment with to find your own unique sound(s).

Completes the Package

By Rob D. from United States
Music Background: Guitarist, Bassist, Performer, Composer, Hobbyist Producer.

When I received a JamMan Solo looper for my birthday, I was quite happy. I decided to order the FS3X, and I worked with the JamMan while I waited for my order to arrive. The JamMan is great without it, but the FS3X greatly enhances and simplifies the use of the looper. I'm very impressed with the combination, and I would recommend that anyone in the market for the JamMan should purchase the foot switch along with it. Great item, and Sweetwater was quick and courteous, as they always are!

Strong with JamMan Stereo

By J from Il
Music Background: Musician

To clarify functionality: The main unit buttons are not duplicated on the FS3X; invaluable features are added. The undo/redo button on the main unit needs to be pressed and held until the unit flashes indicating an overdub has been un/redone. The FS3X provides one-touch/immediate undo/redo which is great for on-stage performances. Also, the tempo can only be set on the main unit PRIOR to playing/recording a loop but the FS3X is adding the functionality of accomplishing this while the loop is playing for flexible time stretching. Good addition to an already great pedal.

August 25, 2013

Weak with JamMan Stereo

By Sweetwater Customer

I bought the FS3X for my JamMan Stereo. It's referenced in the manual as the foot switch for this unit. It says it "gives you hands-free control over loop selection, tempo and stop functions". Not true. The ONLY functions you get is:
1. Mode switch- Undoes last overdub (available on main unit)
2. Down switch- Activates reverse play
3. Up switch- Tempo change (available on main unit)
If it can do anything beyond these 3 functions then I haven't been able to figure it out. So, what your getting is a 3 button foot switch where 2 of the 3 switches are duplicates of foot switch functions on the JamMan and they aren't even primary functions.

The FS3X is built solid and it's cool that the cord is included. Sweetwater provided great customer service with the purchase.

In all, with all the great features Digitech put into the JamMan, it's sad that the foot switch features received such little thought. Don't waist your money if you want to use it on a JamMan Stereo.

Great Pedal

By Chuck from McRae, GA
Music Background: Pro This & That, Studio Rat, Performing Cat

I use this pedal as a 3-way switch with the TC Helicon Voice Tone Harmony M. It's a very sturdy unit, and I've had no problems. My only slight quirk is that the switches could be a little farther apart, as when I'm playing keys, I'm not precisely looking at my buttons or pedals, so sometimes I'm just reaching over with my foot hoping to get the right button. OH, and I have a wide foot! Of course, this is a minor issue that only a standing keyboard might face. I'd have no problem using this pedal with any other gear.
