External foot switches for controlling on/off function of effects. 2 button with led indication needed. I don’t have anything plugged into exp 1 or 2 currently. I find the buttons to be a bit close together when playing live and I’d like switches that can live off to the side so there are no accidental switches made. ---

I personally like the Boss FS-6 foot switch. It has 2 switches that you can setup to be either latching or momentary switches and they have an LED to show the state of the switch. What I also like is they are larger, soft control type switches rather than the type used on the QC itself. They are noiseless and easy to press. It will require a battery however to supply the LED and at least the one I have, didn’t come with a 9v adapter so you can’t plug it in. I did follow a post somewhere though and was able to install my own adapter and plug the foot switch in so I didn’t have to carry batteries for it.
