Members samal50 Posted January 7, 2019 Members Share Posted January 7, 2019 I wanted to get a TC Helicon Switch 3 for my TC Helicon Voiceworks and was curious if I even need it or not? The Digitech FS3X is about $10 cheaper, or how about the BOSS FS-5U which I already have. I'm assuming all footswitch have the same function (i.e. it's a switch using my foot, etc). Why is there not a universal footswitch!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted January 7, 2019 Members Share Posted January 7, 2019 Check out this vid that shows you how to make your own switch pedal: [video=youtube;Pb-4WJDYqNM] They're SPST momentary switches. As long as whatever switchbox you use is the same you should be fine. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted January 8, 2019 Members Share Posted January 8, 2019 But Radioshack is no more!!! So mentally substitute "electronics supply store" every time you hear "Radio Shack." Here in the St. Louis area that's Gateway Electronics. There's probably something similar near you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would personally get the foot switch that is made for the TC, as they make nice stuff. Companies do make universal pedals with a latched or unlatched switch. I have one.

Members samal50 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2019 could the digitech fs3x be in place of the switch 3? I guess it can since sellers bundle it with the TC Helicon vocal processors: https://www.ebay.com/itm/TC-Helicon-...!-1:rk:32:pf:0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted February 21, 2019 Members Share Posted February 21, 2019 I would personally get the foot switch that is made for the TC' date=' as they make nice stuff[/quote'] This makes most sense as there's the possibility of cable incompatibility even though the Digitech is bundled with the TC unit. If you have individual switch - puts then you could use keyboard sustain pedals for the most used functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
