SOLUTEK Footswitch Topper Guitar Pedal Button Caps with 3 Set Screws and Protective Fitting Increasing Accuracy,Comfort for Common Switches diameter of 3/8"| SOLUTEK BUTTONS V1 12Pcs Mix-colors

These buttons seem sturdy and are decently easy to apply, but they have one major flaw: they are too deep to use with many modern pedals. They work great for large button mainstream manufacturers i.e. MXR, EHX etc, but for many new or boutique pedals that have a shallower or narrower footswitch, these won’t work as is.I got these to specifically to accommodate one particular pedal: the Caroline Meteore. Unfortunately, the newer style foot switches on this pedal are very narrow and don’t work with the cheap press-on plastic footswitch big buttons, so I bought these since they have screws to tighten them down.Unfortunately, the buttons are so deep that when I finally cranked the screws down enough to get them to stay on, the depth of the button prevented the pedal from engaging. Once I plugged my pedalboard in, this same problem presented itself on pedals with seemingly normal sized foot switches but shorter travel such as the JHS Crayon, Fairfield Circuitry Barbershop, and even a TC Hypergravity Mini.I took all the buttons off and was about to return them when I remembered I had a box of rubber o rings lying around, and decided to try them as spacers to take away some depth on the inside. The 6x2 mm fit best. After a bit of maneuvering and tightening down the screws as far as they would go, it worked! Time will tell if they stay on, but I’m going to keep them and hope for the best.I’ve never tried Barefoot Buttons and by the looks of them they might be a bit shallower, but then again, they may not. And you get 12 of these for the price of 2 barefoots so I can’t really complain. So if you’re going to get these, grab a $10 box of rubber o rings as well to make sure they work with all of your pedals. If these came with a few 1 and 2 mm spacers to reduce the depth they would be perfect.

As advertised, easy to install, super sturdy/quality metal (had been warned about cheaper plastic versions), worth a few extra bucks to get the metal ones. Nice to have different colors available, haven't had any fall off or any issues in the year or so of being used. I was aware that some buttons on certain pedal companies might not be compatible with footswitch toppers - you can see in the pic that my SansAmp in the upper left wasn't compatible (short, wide button), but it sits far enough away from the others to not need. Can't imagine life without them now!

These are just what I needed. They were the perfect fit for my zoom b6 pedal!

These are awesome! They screw down onto rubber on to the top of the foot switch. This is a very positive connection as well as to not mar the foit switch. Outstanding design. I was able to match the color of the foit switch to the color of the light(s) it lights up when engaged. Although you can come ip with your own color scheme ro suit. These privide a bigger surface area to find the seitch with your foot. Very comfortable. Bottom line, I wholeheartedly recommend these and will buy again!

After careful consideration, I chose these Solutek pedal buttons. As you can see I needed almost 2 dozen. (I have another multi-stomp with 4 more switches.) The ones I saw at my "go-to" online retailer were about $10 each. So these were the most comparable and saved me $175! This is something that you can pay a bargain price for since they're not a necessity. I just wanted them because I usually don't wear shoes around the house.It's a bit tedious putting 3 little screws into each one but I suggest you get a little cup, pour those suckers in, sit in front of the TV and have at it. Took me about a half hour to do all 24. Just keep something under them in case they drop. I lost 2 in my carpet that only the vacuum cleaner will find. They fit all my pedals perfectly and they all work great. As you can see my board has a variety of brands so not all the switches are the standard "mushroom" type. The Wampler Latitude and my midi controller for my amp (big black switch at bottom) have a slightly slimmer profile. But they stay on and work. The only caveat to consider when buying these solid buttons is if you have lighted foot switches, i.e., Line 6 Pods, etc. They will block the lights so you may want to opt for plastic ones. But I couldn't find any transparent ones that had screws to hold them on. Luckily none of my pedals have lights under the buttons. I bought 2-12 packs @ $20/each. So at $1.67 apiece, they are a great deal. And if more than 2 of them fall off, I guess I'll go back to wearing shoes when I play.

It's a good quality product, however you have to be very mindful about how tight you put the screws (is that the right word?) for the three screws it has. It often adds some unexpected delay to the usual feedback of the stomp button of the pedals. Pedals are built pretty solid anyway. I ended up removing them all.

I added these to my midi commander to make it a little easier at a glance to hit the right switch. I really like the design, and once installed, they seem sturdy enough. The reason I knocked off 2 stars is 2 issues I faced that to me were frustrating. First, the send the wrong size hex key. Luckily, I do all my own work and had a set of hex keys with one that was the right size. I almost stripped one of the heads before I realized what was going on. And lastly, one of the screw holes stripped pretty easily. I don’t believe I cross threaded. I believe the hole wasn’t properly tapped during production. Yet again, another little detail that matters to me.I did get all of them installed in about 5-10 minutes with minimal effort and I do think I’ll have a much easier time on stage identifying what I need at a glance.

These are very sturdy and well built. I think the price is very fair giving a good value for the money. They’re a bit tedious to install. The screws are tiny and there’s three on each. I don’t recommend laying on the floor and trying to install these things - speaking from experience. Put your pedal(s) up on a table and sit or stand. Luckily you basically just need to do the install once. Also, I installed mine in batches of like 2 a day (on a boss ES-8) and never had any issues with the ones not screwed coming off. So if you’re just jamming in the basement you may not even need to install the screws.

I'm very happy with this purchase. Better than I expected and I didn't need to use the set screws! I tried these on an MXR EVH Phase 90 and Carbon Copy, a Klon clone, a Nux Duotime, a few BYOC clones, a Joyo overdrive, and a few other pedals I have laying around. These went on snug and wouldn't come off without some effort. If you're a bedroom player, stepping on these with bare feet is much more comfortable than a plain button. Easier on your hands, too, if you're the type that has a pedal or two on a table instead of the floor.. For live playing they might still be good without the screws but you might want to put those in for added security. Just keep in mind that it's a 3-screw system. Tighten each screw a little at a time to keep even pressure so they don't end up sitting wonky.The twelve toppers come in a plastic clam shell case that you can repurpose, and includes a Ziploc bag with two allen keys and set screws. Mine came with a few extra screws.UPDATEI'm rearranging my pedals so I decided to put the screws in.. The toppers sit crooked and now they won't allow the footswitches to engage. Took out the screws and everything is fine again. So, toppers work as long as you don't put the screws in.

They are good and can stay on the switch well enough to use at home even without adding the set screws. I have them shown on 1 switch of 6. I am using that for a dedicated tap tempo and I wear socks in the house—softer on the foot. I may put them on all switches, for looks, but you can be selective for UX ergonomics. Be warned that to add the 3 set screws, it is fine work and takes time—be patient. Try to get all 3 screws evenly tight, a little bit each one.

I really can't say anything bad about these. I've used these on almost all my floor effects switches and controllers. I can't speak to durability since I'm a bedroom player only so all my gear never sees real hard (road) use. For home players in sock feet, these can really save you from the discomfort of those tiny switches. I also have Barefoot Buttons toppers which are a much more premium product but also come at a much more premium price.

Pretty pricey for not being able to stay on pedals.. they use rubber with set screws to tighten… if you tighten too much they get uneven on you and when you activate pedal they shift around… if you tighten to loose they don’t stay on… and for all of my pedals I have to put spacers in because the button bottoms out and doesn’t allow you to activate the pedal as easy…. Not impressed for the price… would NOT recommend

These are very good looking foot-pedal switch-covers and are very easy to install and fasten on most pedals. Please take note of the size of the foot switch as some wider foot switches may not work with this unless you really Force it on. For what they are I think they're just a little too expensive, hence minus one star.
