Hiwatt FS101LJ Footswitch

The FS101LJ is Hiwatt's single-button footswitch for its UK Designed amplifiers. One switch, one job: flip the channel or drop the reverb in from the floor instead of bending down to the front panel mid-set. A red LED on the top face tells you which state the amp is in, which matters on a dark stage where the panel is behind you.

Hiwatt lists it against the Crunch, Leeds and Tube Series amplifiers that carry channel-switching and reverb functions, and it terminates in a captive cable with a moulded 1/4 inch TRS plug rather than a socket and a lead to lose. The enclosure is a folded steel wedge in Hiwatt black with the logo screened on the face.
