It works
ivoi.iovi 21.12.2020
It's a footswitch, it has an LED, is had a load of stickers so you can label it for any purpose (including a couple of blanks for your own scribbles), you aren't bound to cable length as it requires you to plug in your own, and it has excellent small form.

I had the old FS-2 for my Rockerverb, and that thing was huge.. but the original FS-1 was barely smaller!
If you don't use a lot of pedals then it can actually be nicer to have the larger switch box, as I guess it is more "present", but for someone with a board this is much more convenient. It is super small and can cram in anywhere.

I DO think it is very overpriced for what it is, and I also think Orange should be including these for free with all its multi-channel amps... but still, I can't knock off any stars as the unit itself is perfectly good.

tiny, sturdy and cute
dheim 19.08.2020
it's a channel selector footswitch, so there's not much to say about its features... it basically does exactly the same thing as its bigger brother, just in a third of its volume.
it really looks and feels well made, the switch works flawlessly without a noticeable clicking sound, and the operating LED is powered by the amp - so no other power source is needed.
above the LED there's a blank space, and various stickers are included - obviously in Orange styled pictograms
a great alternative to the bigger FS1 if you want to save space on your pedalboard or in your bag.
and, last but not least, it looks extremely cute.

A weird delay in switching
Nonsensei 13.02.2021
First, the good:

- solid build
- very compact size
- stickers to label what the pedal is switching

Then the negative: there is a weird, noticeable delay when using this to switch from distortion to clean. For some reason, the delay is only present when going from distorted to clean, but not the other way around.

channel switching with delay
Jevatro 23.05.2022
This pedal does what it's supposed to do: switch between channels on your amp. BUT! Major flaw: it does not switch immediately. It depends on how fast you release your foot from the switch before it switches to the other channel. Very annoying in live situations, or when you immediately want to change your sound. It's bigger brother, the FS-1 has a clicking footswitch, and does change the channel immediately. I bought the mini to gain some space on my pedalboard, but the regular FS-1 is coming back on. The mini - to me - is useless in a live situation. Also, when you stomp your foot on the mini, it's a bit unstable.

The stickers!
Tooomas 16.09.2024
It is small and it switches. Also you get a bunch of stickers with orange pictograms to mark the function you are using it for.

A really great miniature pedal
iddm 28.08.2024
I use this footswitch to change the channel from the clean to the dirty one and back. It works great. The assembly and the quality of the footswitch are amazing. However, I often find its weight to play against me, as sometimes, when I play, I turn it to the side when trying to push a button, and then I have to dance around a little to put it back straight. This is the only downside, and, perhaps, can be avoided by just getting used to it. Overall, recommend it!

Does what it needs to do
Jonathan Verhaeghe 24.12.2020
This pedal does what it's supposed to do: Switch channels. I use a Dual Terror amp and it works very well. It is solid and compact (which is why I chose it instead of the FS-1). I have not much else to say :).
PS: Be aware you'll need an extra cable to connect it to the amp.

great small fs for your orange
ivailo 30.12.2020
I don't there are any comments needed - orange footswitch, three times smaller than the older one. You can get creative and put it in between your pedals as the footprint is really small.

The reduced size is just perfect and fits nicely on my board.
