SONICAKE Dual Footswitch Pedal for Guitar Effect Pedal Dual Momentary Foot Switch Guitar Pedal with TRS Cable

Use it for my beat buddy mini 2 works great good deal seems like it’s built good.

I bought this to add functionality to my Sheeran Looper plus. It did the trick. Happy with it.

This is an interesting little accessory for various guitar multi effects units. It’s designed specifically for the Matribox II, but it will work with other units that accept an external momentary footswitch via stereo jack. What your individual FX processor does with this input depends on how you set it up and what effect it’s connected to in the software. It 100% depends on the software in your unit, so it’s not super helpful to describe what this “does” sonically.It is literally just two momentary footswitches, wired to a stereo jack, so that one switch opens/shorts the tip, and the other switch opens/shorts the ring of the stereo connector/cable. That’s it. What your FX unit software does with that is up to you. I actually have an amp that uses a stereo foot switch like this that switches channels and turns on/off built-in multi effects, and this switch works with my amp.It comes with a too-short stereo cable, that’s only about 2 feet long. It really needs to be 6ft+ to use meaningfully, so I really wish they had included a longer cable. With a longer cable you could keep your multi-FX unit on a table (where you can twiddle the knobs) but put the foot switch on the floor or your pedal board. I’m knocking off just one star for the stereo cable being too short to really use.Otherwise, the unit is well built, all metal, and comes with grippy feet on the bottom. 4 stars.

Funciona

It looks good, feels solid. Well designed and functional. Cool name too.

I like it wider, so it is more stable when you press down by your foot. Highly recommended.

It does work the way it should. Two independent momentary switches on one jack, "A" is on the Tip, and "B" is on the Ring. Both are Normally-Open, and short to the Sleeve when pressed. It could be used for pedals that have a TRS dual-switch input, or used with a TRS-to-TS Y cable for two pedals. It looks like it uses the common big stomp switches, but it doesn't. The actual switches are short-travel tactile switches soldered to a circuit board, and are actuated by springs mounted to the external plungers. This means that there isn't a definite point where they click, but that click point is instead reliant on using the force of the compressed spring to overcome the needed amount to click the tactile switch inside. The contact is made partway through the travel of the plunger, not when it bottoms out. Not necessarily ideal if you're looking for a precise moment for tap tempo or the like. It feels fairly consistent now, but it might drift with time as the spring relaxes. The cable that is included is much less nice than the one pictured. It is a basic non-serviceable molded-plug design with a thin plastic cable, not the cloth-covered one with branded metal shells shown.

Bought this to use with my HX Stomp and it works perfectly! Was able to easily add new effects to both channels and expand my sounds. It's small so it was easy to tuck it into my pedal board too. On mine I added some foot switch toppers to it for my comfort when playing barefoot but it's good either way.
