A must have for Vox Ac15C1 amps
This pedal is built tough and is made from heavy duty sheet metal construction. Button switches are crisp and provide a tactile snap when they are depresses. There are red lights which activate and are a critical factor in determining whether the tremolo and reverb circuits are in use. While this pedal should have come with the amp, it's a must have for turning off the circuits which can leak into the tone even when rolled down to zero. Overall it's great to know this added two additional tone options to my amp. The TRS cable is plenty long but can be substituted for a longer cable if you're recording out of sight of the amp. I'm very happy with this purchase and I expect the pedal to last for many years.
Great footswitch!
Vox was slow but worth the wait.
Thanks Colton!

VOX pedal used w/my VOX AC-15's
Great addition to my AC-15's (Alnico Blue & Greenback)
Gets the job done
I only use this in a practice space, so I cannot speak to the overall durability. It seems pretty sturdy and well made though. The cable that comes with leaves a bit to be desired, and it is not very long. So maybe replace it with a right angle TRS cable.
Has Light Indicators
The VFS-2A Footswitch does switching very well and has light indicators for active settings.
Works great!
I use this for my Vox AC15VR. It is built well and works great.
Simple, Rugged and Versitile
The Vox VFS-2A Footswitch is a well-constructed, simple footswitch pedal that can take it. Combined with a reverb effects pedal it gives you more varied options on the Vox AC30 (which has an excellent onboard reverb) plus you can add tremelo by itself or in conjection with reverb/delay effects to get a great sound. I like to use the full function of my amps and this footswitch completes the deal. Plus, it's inexpensive! Get it, use it, love it, live it!
Vox Footswitch
We received in perfect condition our Vox Footswitch. That's the best I can muster up for a footswitch. It arrived in a timely manner, even through the pandemic. It's held up in perfect condition even though two of us here step on that thing like it stole something. Very durable.
I'd rather talk about two more things directly related to the sale of that gorgeous footswitch.
First, as an amateur guitarist of over 40 years I have learned through painful financial trial and error, that you cannot go wrong with any Vox amp. Back in the day I had an AC60. It hurt to sell that but we needed cash for things like food and toilet paper, etc. Wants vs needs. I still say there are plenty of places to find stuff to eat, and toilet paper is simply a luxury item that does the same job as my neighbor's Sunday newspaper. It's free, in a way. I'm not allergic to the ink but it did start a fierce rash once. I was all fired up that day did some over-agressive clean up. Don't do that with Sizzler coupons. My bad, I got carried away! Whoa horsie!!
After the excellency of our AC-15 and footswitch I wanted very much to thank our professional, polite and always responsive sales engineer, Toni. We didn't know about Sweetwater until 2 years ago. Toni has painstakingly managed to have every single thing delivered in perfect condition and I'm talking super-fragile stuff like two tube amps, acoustic guitars, American Strats and Teles, pickguards, cords, picks, strings, etc. They have everything including an incredible Supro amp that I want so bad I can feel my ears bleed. No, I must have cut myself because I'm in pain, and not the good kind of pain you get from a Vox amp. Dang!!!
I won't share Ms. Bush-Nord's last name so as to not embarrass her. You know me, Toni. I'm not like that.
All joking aside, Toni, and I'm sure all the highly-trained sales engineers share your level of expertise. Everyone there knows what they are doing and what they are talking about. From our home in Indy, we pass by several competitors that I won't mention out of respect for some friendly dudes I know that work at Guitar Center and Sam Ash. They don't like their jobs and its noticeable. But don't believe me (seriously). After the pandemic goes away, go to the Sweetwater campus in beautiful - but flat like a pancake - Ft. Wayne IN. Do Sweetwater employees love their jobs? Its evident as soon as you walk into their beautifully planned campus. It's a music oasis in our humble state. It rekindled my love of music after a TBI and brain surgery. I suck at playing anything but I am privileged to be able to play the bass while my son rocks out on his Tele to Freddie King, Zeppelin, Steve Miller and all the other bands I made him listen when he wasn't 6'3 300#. Now I let him choose what we listen to for safety purposes.
I owe Sweetwater money and pay the bills on time but I've never returned a single thing. They are as close to perfect as any music store, anywhere in the USA. I've been to LA music stores (total accident -- it looked like a liquor store and I had to pee so bad you guys). I've been to Nashville and had some trouble there so I was only able to go to one store before not-so-cordial Shelby County deputies saw fit to run me out of state. You read that right. I had to ride all the way to Kentucky. The one store I visited was tiny and smelly and hey did you know that folks in Nashville WILL NOT TOLERATE a man riding a unicycle, singing his best Hank Sr., off-key into a pair of megaphones.
I love Sweetwater from the owner on down. That's probably enough out of me for now. Peace. I plan on spending a veritable fortune there as soon as the fortune vision is fully realized. I have no idea how to muster up a fortune but surely it will come and I will forward all the proceeds and begin the drive to Allen County. If I follow the speed limit, I can make it there in under two hours. Unless I have to relieve myself because I drink mountain dew like Tom Brokaw slurs his speech. Both of those matters need urgent attention, but this is neither the time nor place.
Happy Father's day to all. No, just the fathers. And grandfathers by default I suppose. No hold on there's already a grandparents day. Happy Father's Day to males who have conceived and reared (bad word choice) children.
Solid, works as advertised - and SIZE
Works just as advertised, solidly built, and has foam rubber on the bottom to keep it from slipping around.
For you pedalboard planners out there who are interested (as I was), this measures 6" x 4" on the base.
VFS-2A
Excellent product from Vox that should be included with the purchase of the Vox AC15C1/AC30. Sweetwater always has what a working musician needs at a competitive price.
Vox AC 15 C1. With foot switch
This is my first tube amp and I'm very pleased. My choice of amp was to achieve the sound of the Beatles. I'm still learning on the settings. Cody has helped with that which was much appreciated. As for the amp itself it sounds amazing and it's a VOX. WHATS NOT TO LIKE.
VOX FOOT SWITCH FOR AC 15 AND AC 30
Just received my Vox foot switch two weeks ago, love it works great and made very well. I want to thank Sweetwater music for getting it to me right on time with no issues as usual.
Great addition
Wanted this pedal for my AC15 for those days I didn"t need or want to drag a pedal board around
Works great, only possible shortcoming, case material seems a little thin but I really don"t plan on "stomping" on it
As always, Sweetwater staff is great to work
Factory switch
Designed to work flawlessly. It does!
Vox vfs-2a footswitch
Just got this pedal it works great and is a must if you have a AC15VR. And Sweetwater makes it so easy with no hassle.
Works with AxeFX MFC-101 Too
This is a very well-built switch...all metal and quite sturdy. I use it to control my Vox AC15 and it doubles as add-on switches for my AxeFX IIXL+ foot controller (MFC-101). At this price, this switch is hard to beat
Very Nice
Perfect match for my AC30, Works great and fits nice on my pedal board.
Ac15 foot switch
It works great. You really can't use the amp correctly without it.
Well worth the money-A necessity!
If your going to spend as much money as it cost to have one of the best and most professional Amps made to me, it becomes necessary to have at your foot the controls for Reverb and Tremolo at your feet. It works like a Charm and though it would be nice to have it included at lease it's only 30 bucks. The only other thing you need is a cover and there are plenty of people on Ebay who will make a cover designed for your amp for cheap money and that's important to keep the dust out of your amp, it'll lengthen the life of your tubes. Back yo the switch, works like a dream and as another reviewer wrote just get a silver sharpie so you can mark a V and a T to see them when you gig in a dark club. This Footswitch is a must have if you own an VOX AC30 or VOX AC15 C2. It'll save you time and effort and make it easier top change your tone with the click or two of a Footswitch. Worth every Penny!!!!
Works amazing!
Perfect functionability for my Vox VT30, except after owning my Vox for 6 years, the input jack suddenly fell apart 3 days after buying this :( That's my luck! I'll have to get it fixed, and I should probably change the tube out in the amp, but this switch has no flaws or noise. Also the LED's on the amp change in unison so that is very useful. And I didn't mention this, but the 1st button changes the channels, and the second is the effects on/off switch, so this really is like 4 buttons compacted into 2! Great product.
vox vfs-2A
The new Vox VFS-2A switching pedal allows me to move from reverb/Tremolo in less than a second and there is no level loss or power loss.
The vox VFS-2A is the PERFECT compliment to my new AC-15 C1
You guys at Sweetwater are THE BEST!!!!
A Perfect Match!
Factory switch for my Vox AC30 amplifier. Waiting for me at the front door. Has never failed to deliver reverb or tremolo.
Happy!
It do what it do! I'm happy with my purchase!
NT15C1-G2
Shout out to Ed Needler for years of helping me find the right gear.
This switch is a MUST to use the amp as it was intended. It can be used as a lead boost, but I use it to switch between clean and gain channels relying on a micro amp in the effects loop for solo volume boost. I'm really pleased with this setup.
It's exactly what you would expect.
Does exctly what you'd expect. I use it with my AC15vr, left switch move between the clean and overdrive channels, right switch turns the reverb off and on.
Works great
Solid, Works Great, Love It!
Works
Fairly heavy duty box. Switches do not cause any popping in AC30.
One thing I did was take a metalic silver paint sharpie and put a big "V" on one side for Verb and Big T on the other for Treble. I used tape to form the letters which also covered the painted number which were useless. It looks real good and works as described.
A must if you own an AC30. I now find myself using the verb and trem all the time.
Fab
The footswitch works perfectly.
It looks classy too.
VOX VFS2A ready to ship!
Colton Conrad called me this afternoon to inform me that my VFS-2A was FINALLY ready to ship! Good news! Thanks Colton!
Vox Amp foot pedal
For the purest the Vox foot switch pedal is amp specific, good rugged quality. I like it as in my humble opinion it's better than a after market universal foot switch pedal.
jammin
works great with my amp, which can be finicky at times. Love the lights that tell me which one I'm on.
VFS-2A
Works as advertised!
This pedal should be included with the amplifier
The Vox VFS-2A footswitch simply turns the reverb or tremolo on or off. It is not supplied with a Vox AC-15 and becomes an additional $40.00 expense. Aside from that, it is a well built pedal and does it's job very well and includes led lights which light when the reverb or tremolo is on.
VOX has a very bad case of the slows!
I love my AC-15! It should not take Vox months to handle their business and send me a foot pedal. Do better UK and Vox. Kudos to my man, Colton Conrad. Keep pushing, my friend. Someone should explain to Vox how bad their supply chain is and that it will cost them money if they don't get back up to speed. Thanks for all your help, Colton!

Word of advice for all of us VOX customers...
We love our Vox gear and we are loyal to the brand, BUT waiting months for a flipping foot switch is unacceptable. NOT Sweetwater's fault that VOX operates like that. It is certainly VOX's ownership's fault for condoning the ineptitude and incompetence of their management, marketing, manufacturing and shipping. Ownership and management are living off the past glory of their product. Your complacency and lack of customer service is showing, VOX! Next will be your quality control unless you change course. Now, where's my foot switch, VOX? I hope I get it before my August N Rockies tour.
Fellow Vox lovers, have you encountered the same treatment from VOX as I? When ordering from Vox, I suggest ordering any and all Vox accessories all at once when you buy your Vox amp at Sweetwater to make it easier on the poor Brits to maybe get your order out in a timelier fashion.
I'm starting to feel sorry for Vox. Am I too harsh?...
Nah...
