Just bought a Boss DS-2 (yeah, I know some people hate them and what-not, but its exactly what I needed) and it has an input for an optional footswitch to act as a 'turbo' button of sorts, and claims I need a latching footswitch. I tried using my single-button amp-channel-switching-footswitch (Blackstar FS-1) but this doesn't seem to work, and is only 'on' when the button is pressed - that is to say if I take my foot off, it goes off, rather like a sustain pedal, I guess. I assume this means its an 'unlatched' footswitch? Does anyone know where I could get a cheap, decent latched footswitch?

There you go mate. This one seems to be going for £39.99 or slightly more in other places, so this is a bargain. I would have recommended the Roland DP-2 but that's non-latch only.

I rely on MIDI controller assignments myself for making stuff toggle, but a lot of my gear doesn't take kindly to being stamped on :P

And nothing wrong with the DS-2, mind you. I put my MT-65 through one a while back. Much cleaner sound than with a lot of pedals, though I'm again biased with using software more often...

(feeble attempt to turn thread into discussion :P)

Yeah, I don't get the whole stigma for Boss either. I think they're probably just ubiquitous...but probably for a good reason...

And thanks, I'll probably give that a go at some point (damn being a poor student, this forum is bad for my lust).
