Custom Button for Your Stompbox

Have you ever stomped on a guitar pedal without shoes on? We have here at Sweetwater, and we'll tell you: IT HURTS! And sometimes, in the heat of a performance, you miss the switch altogether. After all, they're not that big. So what do you do? Get a custom button from Barefoot Buttons and fit it onto your stompbox. These easy-to-install buttons work with most major switches and triggers and are guaranteed to improve comfort and accuracy. They look pretty cool, too!

Frequently Asked Questions:

What version Barefoot Button do I need for my pedal?

Barefoot Buttons come in version 1 and version 2. Version 1 fits common 3PDT switches (3/8" / 10mm). Version 1 Big Bore fits larger 3PDT switches up to (7/16" / 11.1mm). Version 2 fits common SPST tap switches (5/16" / 8.5mm).

Will a version 1 button work on a version 2 switch?

Yes, it will, but it's not recommended. It's not an optimal fit, and the button may not perform reliably.

What is the diameter of a Barefoot Button?

Most version 1 and version 2 models, including the Tallboy, have a diameter of about 1-1/8" (28.5mm). The Mini models have a diameter of 3/4" / 19mm.

How tall is the Tallboy?

The Tallboy is about 7/8" (22.2mm) tall. It will raise the switch height about 1/2" (12.7mm).

Barefoot Buttons V1 Mini Footswitch Cap - Silver

First of all, let me state that there are cheaper alternative versions of this product out there however emphasis is on cheap (ie thin aluminum caps with rubber inserts). In contrast this is a quality product, solid and nicely finished. Fits all my pedals (minis and regular) and locks on to the footswitch (no wobble). The old adage "you get what you pay for" applies here.

Very nice

Really well made and a nice improvement to the standard foot switch. I have them on all my pedals.
Rated 5/5

Nice upgrade

Works great for high-use pedals and makes for a larger target for your foot. True to its name its more comfortable for barefoot use. Be sure to get the V2 if you're putting this on a tap-tempo switch.
Rated 3/5

Buttons work well, but they came with the wrong screws - Sweetwater to the rescue!

I bought two of these buttons, one silver and one black, for my pedal board. They each came with LONG Allen screws - the ones supplied with the full-sized Buttons. Not a big deal since I could try to find some shorter screws locally at my hardware store or do some careful dremmel work. I called up Sweetwater to let them know so they could check their stock, but instead sent me complimentary replacements- I even offered to send my buttons back out of good faith but they had me keep them. Long story short I got my replacements with the short screws that work great, Barefoot Buttons' needs to be more careful with packaging their goods, and Sweetwater kicked some serious posterior over this screw-up...pardon the pun.
Rated 1/5

Not for Boss multieffects

I've tried these on Boss GT-1000, GT-1000CORE, MS3, and SY-1000. When mounted, there is not enough throw distance on the shaft to engage the switch. On others, the switch will only engage when you step on the button dead center - if you are a little bit off the switch does not engage.
