Simple and Perfect to use with AV60
I bought this to go with the Vox AV60, it is perfect. The amp has a simple design, 2 channels(controlled by the first switch which has a LED). The other buttons control the effects from the amp(Chorus, Delay, tap tempo and Reverb respectively).
The construction is solid (a little bit on the heavy side) but it means it won't disintegrate after you step on it a few times. The buttons are wide enough apart so your foot won't step on more than one at the same time (The actual unit is bigger than what I thought).
The cable is long enough so you don't have to stand right next to the amp. The only thing it could be better is if each button had it's own LED, so you know which effect is on without having to play, or look on the amp(Not enough to lower the 5* rating)
As I personally use a Line 6 M13, I might buy the 2 button version, to use less space(as I'm mainly using to select the channel, not effects), however I would keep this in case I wanted a simple rig(without anything else)

Vox VFS5 Footswitch
I bought this footswitch to accomany the Vox amp i purchased at the same time.
I gig with a rock band and it was crucial that i found a pedal that could store all my effects and tones. This pedal gives you two banks with 4 different channel each. You also have a load of different amp sounds that are fantastic along with any amount of pedal sounds. It is very easy to use and set up and its really up to yourself how much time you want to put into it to get the exact sound you want.
The pedal is good, easy to operate and has a green and a red light to tell you which bank of sounds you are using at any given time, which is a life saver when you are gigging and bouncing between songs. The lead is quite long and fits into the back of the amp but having said that it could be a tad longer.
I would recommend this pedal for its simplicity and sleak look, it fits in nicely under the mic stand and lets you do your thing without worrying too much about where to go next. It's a thumbs up from me.

The pedal to go with the Vox VT+ Range
This is the pedal to go with the Vox VT+ Range. I bought this to go with my Vox Valvetronix vt40+ and I got it at the same time as I bought the amp. I thought it would be convenient to have the ability to change the settings which are saved in the memory. There are eight options with five foot buttons. The first is a bank A/B the next four are one to four.
The construction is of pressed metal and the foot buttons look like stainless steel. It is well marked out and looks of good construction. I couldn't fault it in any way. It does what it is supposed to and does it well.
Al per usual with Thoamann the buying and delivery went without a hitch. This seems to be synonymous with them. I have ordered from them many times and they have never let me down.

Sturdy and works well
Well built very easy to use and does just what is needed without being flash or over the top.
Use it with Vox vt 40plus and although everything can be done on the amp itself this makes it so much easier with "hands free2 mid song or whatever if you need to change your sound.
Not the most complecated footswitch there is but i get the idea it would last forever and it does just what is needed

Does what it's supposed to, but not a necessity
To really get the most out of the VTX series I find that it's best to hook up your amp to a computer to really play with the configs in a more precise manner. Generally, I don't think the footswitch is necessary and I personally never use it.
But, if you want a footswitch for hopping between channels and configs this one does the trick perfectly. Not my cup of tea, but definitely not a bad product.

It works as it should, but a very long cable.
It works well enough.
The super long cable is... well in my opinion unnecessary and can get in your way. Other than that the quality is fine, switches seem good.

Awesome!
This footswitch is a great buy which makes switching between the saved sounds on my Vox VT40+ super easy! It lets you toggle through the user programmes and the different banks too. The best feature is the tap tempo ability. if your saved sound has delay, you can change the delay time with the footswitch. if your effect has modulate you can do the same thing! It's really very cool!

Sturdy footswitch, switching not reliable
I bought this foot switch to be used with my Vox VT20. The foots switch is heavy and sturdy, and large enough for my feet. Features are also good, with multiple banks and 4 effects to choose from per bank. At the start I was really happy with it, using it for practice alone or with the band.
Basically, it works fine, but after a while I found the switching is simply not reliable enough for me. Apparently the connection to the VT20 works with different resistors for each of the 5 switches, and any contact resistance results in either the wrong effect to be enabled, or no switching at all. After a bit of contact spray things seem to work again, until you are in the middle of a song and it just refuses to switch from heavy distortion to clean sound...
It gave me too much frustration, therefore mine is not getting out of the cupboard anymore.

MUST HAVE
When I bought a VOX AC40, I didn't realize its complexity of use.
The Vox VFS5 Footswitch its imperative to use 2 or 3 effects in the same music while playing it, something impossible to do without this footswitch.
Pros - compact and robust case. Cons - The layout is good but could be improved.
