A Controller Designed to Get the Best Out of Blackstar Amps
The FS-18 is the compact footswitch designed to make your Blackstar amps more "stage-friendly": you switch from one sound to another with your foot, and you manage the amp's built-in effects with a natural gesture, without interrupting your playing.
Who Is It For, and In What Contexts?
Ideal if you play in rehearsals or concerts with a compatible Blackstar amp, and want to seamlessly switch between verses/solos or activate an effect (chorus, reverb, depending on the amp) cleanly and precisely. Perfect for acoustic or electric guitarists who use onboard effects rather than a large pedalboard.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Blackstar FS-18 compatible with all Blackstar amplifiers?
Compatibility applies to Blackstar amplifiers equipped with a 6.35 mm TRS footswitch input. Available functions then depend on the connected amplifier model.
What cable is needed to connect this footswitch?
The connection is made via a 6.35 mm TRS stereo jack input. A TRS cable allows the use of both switches on the footcontroller.
How many functions can be controlled by foot?
The 2 latched switches allow two amplifier functions to be managed. Depending on the compatible amplifier, these may include patch change and effects activation. Some combos, for example, allow control of chorus and reverb.
Does the FS-18 require power?
Its passive operation does not require any dedicated power supply.
Does the footswitch alter the amplifier's sound?
This pedal acts solely as a remote control and does not color the signal. Effects and tonal changes remain those built into the compatible Blackstar amplifier.
