Built like a tank.
Peace Frog 06.04.2022
This thing is built like a tank,with its metal construction it should hold up well. I personally had no issues with it and I've owned it for two years as of writing this review. I use it with my Crush 35 RT and it does it's job fine.

HUGE but solid.
Anonymous 05.03.2017
the FS-1 is a channel switch pedal, wired to work on Orange amps (and very likely on lots of other brands too). it looks cool and very Orangey (yep, the operation LED is actually orange, and i love that). nothing shabby and cheap as Fender and Peavey footswitches, to name just a couple.
it requires a standard instrument cable (with 1/4' mono jacks), that means that NO, you have to buy it too, and YES, it has virtually no damageable parts (of course except the switch itself, that feels as solid and straightforward as a soviet tank), and doesn't force you to use a 5 metres cable if you need to put it less than 2 metres away from the amp...
the only real issue is that it's HUGE, and stupidly so. I guess it could have been just as solid and cool in 50% of its volume...

Works as advertised
urist 10.04.2019
I bought this switch to pair with Crush Bass 50. Mostly for playing at home and occasional studio usage.
FS-1 requires instrumental cable, which I consider a plus because you can easily replace it if it gets broken for whatever reason. I paired it with cheapest instrumental cable I could find and it works with zero problems.
As some other owners noted light is quite dim, but visible well enough under most conditions.
Build quality is very good, this thing weights a ton and feels like you could use it to smash rocks and it wouldn't break. Underside is lined with decent no-slip material which helps if you are playing on slippery surface. Switch itself never locked on me, and while it requires some force to push it, but isn't uncomfortable to use even without shoes.
Design wise it looks like a brick with giant orange logo on top, it isn't exactly something you would want to put as a centerpiece of your studio or anything, but it fits well enough with rest of the Orange lineup.
All in all, solid switch, maybe lacking in features but build quality is excellent and if you care about branding Orange logo might just be worth paying a little extra.

What can I say

It's a metal box with a button, how can you mess that up, well, they didn't, they delivered on both ends, metal and button. Good job Orange!

Strong decent footswitch
Mark1168 07.05.2015
I bought this footswitch to complement the Orange CR120 amp head that I ordered.
Essentially this is for changing the amp channels only, you can get another switch that does that and switches on the reverb as well, but this one is the single channel switch.
It is certainly strong enough for gigging, I have used it many times without problem.
You will need a guitar cable to run it into the amp, just get the cheapest moulded plug cable that there is at the correct length you need, I quite like that system better than the all in one footswitch/cable.
The only issue I have found is that in a brightly lit rehearsal room you cannot really see if the light is lit or not.

Proper unit
MattyMcDaddy 29.04.2022
It's built like a tank with a simple function. It fulfils your expectations.

Designwise I'd prefer it to be a little smaller in size, colours inverted and done away with the little ugly footprint icon.

Fait ce qu'on lui demande. Robuste. On ajoute la longueur de câble que l'on veux pour petite et grande scène.
