Perfect for TC switching

If you own a VoiceLive and need extra functions or (as I did) have the need to have another set of effects on the other side of the stage, that pedal will just do the work. You can assign any effect and step to any of the three buttons on the switch and just stomp it like it was a racist head.

It's very easy to set up, just connect it to your helicon device and automatically it will add the switch option on your device menu. Plug & play. A Jack cable is provided so there's no need to buy any additional stuff.

I don't think it has cons, but to mention one, the cable included is very short so if you perform on large stages you'll need an extension or just a longer cable.

About this footswitch, one of the good things is its construction. is coated in metal, which will cause increased resistance to any kind of damage it may suffer. In order of the level of functionality, this machine works 100%, however, in my opinion, has some defects. To start, it is a big footswitch, causing the problem of taking up real state on the pedalboard. Another negative aspect that i have noticed was that after some use, the buttons where you click, start to get harsh, sometimes causing a wrong notion of activation or not of the effect, i mean when you click, sometimes does not seem to be the active effect, yet is enabled, missing one "click", the click that you feel when you step on the button. However, this footswitch has a very good durability.
