Hughes&Kettner FS-2

This is a really satisfying switch!

I needed a foot switch for my Engl Thunder Head Amplifier to switch between Channels "Clean to Crunch" and between "Crunch to Lead".

Of course you can buy the original Engl Foot Switch Z-bla. But it costs 79 EUR instead of 29 EUR for the H&K .

Furthermore I think the H&K is not only cheaper, it is also as tough and reliable as the Engl Foot switch.

And does the H&K fullfil the same functions ?

It does! And it does a lot better! :-) Because it is angled sharper and easier to step on.

For me it was one of the best buys ever! ;-)

FYI: I am using it since one year and had no problems.

The Hughes & Kettner FS-2 is a two-channel footswitch, which is primarily designed for the various H&K amplifiers on the market but works equally well on most other amps I've tested it on (as long as they support two-channel-switches). I use two of them with a Tubemeister 36 and they do their job pretty nicely (even if the Tubemeister is a 3-channel amp, this footswitch works pretty intuitively and has never elt me down so far).
The design is good, the switches are easily reachable and the are their distance allows easy access without accidentaly hitting both.
The case is solid metal and is heavy enough to withstand the rough use on tour, the switches are also solid and allow for noiseless channel switching (and this for almost ten years with my first one now).
The only possible weak spot is the cable, which is not very thick and could be prone to snap at the case entry (had this issue with another H&K switch).
Overall, especially considering the good price, it's a sure recommendation.
Thomann service and shipping time as outstanding as always :)

I think price is a little high for a footswitch because it is very simple mechanism but it does what it is supposed to be , it has rock solid metal casing and i bought it because i have a hughes&kettner tubemeister 18 head :)

Led feature is essential for live situations and they are bright , cable length is long enough(about 4,5 meters) , switches are sturdy and there is a padding at the bottom of the metal casing so it provides enough resistence on sillepery surfaces the only negative thing i can say maybe it would be good if the cable was detachable from box in case of any problem with cable but time will show what happens...
