not sure what to say...
Not sure what to say about this pedal. I am actually returning it, which is rare for me when it comes to Thomann.... I wanted a two-button, stereo footswitch with LEDS for my amp, to switch channels, and the reverb on...and be able to tell on stage if they're on or not....it aint working with this one.
The functions don't work on my amp(?). Plus, the bulbs are so small, you can't tell the difference. My suggestion is to investigate well before deciding. I actually consulted a Guitar Tech from Thomann before buying it, but it didn't turn out to be the right suggestion.

Why an original, if the copy is as good as the original! :)
This is a really satisfying switch!
I needed a foot switch for my Engl Thunder Head Amplifier to switch between Channels "Clean to Crunch" and between "Crunch to Lead".
Of course you can buy the original Engl Foot Switch Z-bla. But it costs 79 EUR instead of 29 EUR for the H&K .
Furthermore I think the H&K is not only cheaper, it is also as tough and reliable as the Engl Foot switch.
And does the H&K fullfil the same functions ?
It does! And it does a lot better! :-) Because it is angled sharper and easier to step on.
For me it was one of the best buys ever! ;-)
FYI: I am using it since one year and had no problems.

Solid switch with little to complain
The Hughes & Kettner FS-2 is a two-channel footswitch, which is primarily designed for the various H&K amplifiers on the market but works equally well on most other amps I've tested it on (as long as they support two-channel-switches). I use two of them with a Tubemeister 36 and they do their job pretty nicely (even if the Tubemeister is a 3-channel amp, this footswitch works pretty intuitively and has never elt me down so far).
The design is good, the switches are easily reachable and the are their distance allows easy access without accidentaly hitting both.
The case is solid metal and is heavy enough to withstand the rough use on tour, the switches are also solid and allow for noiseless channel switching (and this for almost ten years with my first one now).
The only possible weak spot is the cable, which is not very thick and could be prone to snap at the case entry (had this issue with another H&K switch).
Overall, especially considering the good price, it's a sure recommendation.
Thomann service and shipping time as outstanding as always :)

Hughes&Kettner FS-2
The Hughes&Kettner FS-2 is a very robust pedal opening up all the functions of the Tubemeister 18 amplifiers. The pedal is of metal construction and has 2 metal foot switches and 2 lights,No lights clean channel, light 1 for overdrive channel and light 2 for more gain. This is combined with a decent length of cable and a none slip panel underneath, which is a nice touch for what is an essential pedal for the Tubemeister 18 amplifier.

Pricey but rock solid...
I think price is a little high for a footswitch because it is very simple mechanism but it does what it is supposed to be , it has rock solid metal casing and i bought it because i have a hughes&kettner tubemeister 18 head :)
Led feature is essential for live situations and they are bright , cable length is long enough(about 4,5 meters) , switches are sturdy and there is a padding at the bottom of the metal casing so it provides enough resistence on sillepery surfaces the only negative thing i can say maybe it would be good if the cable was detachable from box in case of any problem with cable but time will show what happens...

All you need
I have the Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 18 Head and speaker cabinet. With the foot pedal I can change channels or go for the extra Gain on the Lead channel. This gives me tremendous versatility without the need for a whole mass of pedals and I must say, the lightweight head and speaker cabinet, plus the foot pedal, mean I can travel very light. And of course being H & K the build quality is not going to let you down mid-solo.

Bought to go with the new H&K Tubemeister Deluxe 20.
Does what it is supposed too and works well.
Nice long cable to reach to your pedal board.
Feels sturdy with a solid buidl, I haven't gigged it yet but am sure it would hold up well to a number of years of abuse.

Does exactly what it says on the tin
I use it with my Hughes & Kettner Edition Blue 30-DFX, and it works exactly as it's supposed to - switching between Clean and Lead channels, as well as toggling Digital FX on/off. Red LEDs indicate the channel status. The cable is nice and long as well.
You get what you pay for - a basic footswitch for compatible H&K amp models.

Great Foot Switch
It's a basic foot switch. The lights are a good touch but it would have been great if H&K include them with their amps so you don't have to buy them separately. It's made of metal and feels very solid. The cable is super long so that's a good plus right there.
