A Hiwatt Accessory Designed to Get Straight to the Point
At Hiwatt, the philosophy is clear: solid gear, simple to use, and built to last. The FS101 fits perfectly within this spirit by offering a minimalist yet essential switching solution: switching from one channel to another without letting go of the neck, without bending down to the amp, and without interrupting the flow of a song. In a setup where the amp shapes much of the tone (tight clean, crunch, overdrive depending on the channel), a dedicated footswitch quickly becomes the most cost-effective tool to gain playing comfort.
For Which Guitarists and Contexts?
The Hiwatt FS101 is aimed at all guitarists who want immediate and hassle-free control. If you play in a band and need to alternate verses with clean tones and choruses with more bite, footswitching becomes an essential reflex. On stage, the 3.5 m cable length helps place the footswitch where you feel most comfortable, without being stuck next to the amp.
In rehearsal, it improves fluidity: you stay focused on playing, timing, and nuances rather than logistics. In the studio, it also allows seamless takes with clean and repeatable channel changes, useful when you want to maintain dynamic consistency from one take to another. In short: a simple accessory that changes your life as soon as you actually use the channels of a Hiwatt amp.
