Orange launches FS1 Mini Footswitch for crowded pedalboards
Mini pedal comes with icon stickers to match the function it’s assigned to

Orange has announced the FS1 Mini Footswitch, designed to take up minimal pedalboard real estate, while still offering the same guitar amp-switching functionality.
The metal-cased mini pedal features an orange LED indicator, single footswitch and 1/4” jack to connect to any Orange amp.
It can be used to go between channels on twin-channel amps (eg, the Crush series), turn reverb on and off (Rockerverb and Crush Pro), or to adjust in-built attenuators (Rockerverb and Dual Dark), to name a few functions.
In a neat touch, Orange has thrown in 12 stickers with its iconic, erm, icons to match whatever you end up using the footswitch for - there are even three blank stickers thrown in to add your own designs. Keep ’em clean, please.
The FS1 Mini is available now for £19.99 (UK) - US price TBC. Head over to Orange Amps for more info.
