Works with Eleven Rack.
The FS3X is a momentary style footswitch which means it will switch on when pressed and then immediately switch off when released. This is good for the Eleven Rack since it only senses when the footswitch is ON to toggle On/Off. I was originally using a latch style footswitch (think of the ones that click when changing the channel of an amp). But that style requires two presses to re-engage since the first press would be ON and it will "latch" onto that state until the footswitch is depressed once again to signal OFF. For those who own an Eleven Rack they will notice that there are three buttons on this footswitch even though the Eleven Rack can only assign two functions to an external footswitch. When using the FS3X with an Eleven Rack the first button (labelled "Mode") will serve as FUNCTION B: on the Eleven Rack, the "Down" button will serve as FUNCTION A:, and lastly, the "Up" button will toggle a quick succession of FUNCTION B: then FUNCTION A:. I currently have mine turning on and off the Flanger and Chorus on the Eleven Rack at the same time. However, I found you cannot use this button to toggle the Wah function on the Eleven Rack. This requires a simultaneous toggle of FX1 and FX2 on the Eleven Rack and the FS3X "Up" doesn't toggle both functions simultaneously, only in rapid succession. Also, the FS3X comes with it's own 10' TRS male to male cable, requires NO power supply or 9V battery, and is cheaper than the Boss FS-6.

It saved my pedals
Bought it to use with my DigiTech JH Experience and Brian May pedals. You have to push so hard on the toe and heel of the expression pedal switches you risk breaking it. The FS3X also has up and down buttons that switches model choices without having to reach down to the to the pedal. A worthwhile investment if you have these pedals.

Great add-on to get more from a Digitech Jamman Solo XT
Although this footswitch works with other Digitech products as well, my experience is using it with the "Digitech JMSXT Jamman Solo XT Stereo Compact Pedal." It's very helpful with the Jamman. It permits stopping a single or multiple Jamman units with a single press. Another helpful feature is letting you playback multiple loops in succession. Record a portion of a song in one memory, and another in a second memory. Then as you play along, press the up or down to get to the memory that the next portion of the song is in. It will cue it and then start playback at the appropriate time. Wonderful for practicing vocals or doing some lead guitar. A couple more features it allows. By tapping on the mode switch, a tempo is set for the recording. And if things go wrong, as long as you have not yet saved the loop, just press and hold the Mode switch, and the loop (or overdub) will disappear. It'll be ready for you to give it another try. If you have a Jamman Solo XT, you'll probably find this a pretty inexpensive way to get a bunch of bonus functionality out of it. Hope you found this helpful!

Overall a good and very simple pedal
Overall it was always a great option for Digitech pedals, such as the Jamman Solo or the Trio Plus, that required more switching options. Too bad that the price keeps going up. When I used to pay $20-35 for them (not so long ago), they were great, at $50-70 it’s a bit much. This pedal is fairly sturdy and if it breaks there’s only a few wires inside so it should be vey simple to fix.

Works great
I use this pedal with my TC Helicon Perform VK vocal harmonizer. Very easy set up and allows me to change the harmony preset and turn the harmonies on and off using my foot instead of my hand. Very handy for live performance! Update - having used this for a few months I’ve noticed my keyboard sometimes changes the vocal harmonizer setting when I use the foot switch. In other words when I have all the midi from my keyboard hooked up as well as this foot switch, sometimes the foot switch changes settings on the harmonizer that weren’t suppose to change. A little frustrating at times but not a deal breaker for me.

Perfect fix
I wanted/needed to control the UA OX box without having to open the software via WiFi this footswitch allows you to turn on and off revereb, delay, EQ and compression. You can control any three but you must assign which ones they are in the program otherwise the pedal wont work.

Does the absolutely necessary function of changing loops in mid-song.
I use my DigiTech JamMan looper a little differently than most people. I do folk music, accompanying my vocals on guitar. But I also play the Native style wooden flute. So I prerecord sections of a song that I want to solo with the flute onto separate loops, typically 1, 2, or 3 per song. Then I play the guitar up to the point I want to play the flute and kick in a loop. When the loop ends I'm back on the guitar. With any more than 1 loop in a song, I have to switch loops on the fly. That would be impossible if not for this foot switch. When the first loop is finished, sometime before the next one is due, all I have to do is tap the "UP" switch and I'm ready when I get there. Same thing again if there are more flute sections in the song. This switch works perfectly = no switch-bounce or other undesirable side effects noticed. I couldn't perform solo without it, it's my second accompanying guitar.

Pedale di qualità in metallo e trè pulsanti di buona fattura.Misura una ventina di centimetri pertanto è comodo per essere compatto .Provato con il trio+ ,va bene ,utile ma non indispensabile,aggiunge start e stop e regolazione tempo. Trattasi di un pedale a pulsanti semplici applicabile anche a tastiere tipo Roland come (sustain) o (start/stop) e ampli Fender come (Touch) Prodotto consigliato anche per il prezzo non eccessivo,5 stelle.

It is what it is! A 3 button momentary foot switch. It works flawlessly with my JamMan Solo XT, which makes for an awesome performance-ready looper at a better price than the options from other companies. I think this footswitch is necessary to get the most out of the looper. It enables instant stopping and switching between loops on the fly. The footswitch itself is solid and sturdy metal. Four rubber feet come with it so you can attach them if you like or just apply velcro to put it on a pedalboard. The switch buttons are easy to use with or without shoes, which is nice.
