An Accessory Designed to Get the Most Out of Your Ampero
The Hotone Ampero Switch FS-1 fits into the Ampero ecosystem as a simple and effective extension: instead of multiplying hand manipulations or overloading the built-in footswitches of your multi-effects unit, you gain two dedicated foot controls. The idea is clear: to make control more natural on stage and during rehearsals, with a minimalist format that easily fits in front of your Ampero, on a small pedalboard, or even on the floor.
Its positioning within the Hotone range is that of an additional controller: no screen, no menus, just the essentials to trigger actions reliably, instantly, and straightforwardly.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The FS-1 is aimed at guitarists (and more broadly musicians) who want to improve playing comfort with a multi-effects unit or a foot-controllable device. It is particularly relevant for live performance, where every fraction of a second counts: changing presets, switching scenes, activating a temporary function, or securing an action without letting go of the instrument.
Regarding styles, it is versatile: rock, pop, metal, worship, funk, ambient... as soon as your sounds are organized into presets or scenes, a dual footswitch can transform the experience. In the studio, it also becomes practical for recording takes by triggering certain functions without moving, or for quickly testing several setting variations during reamping.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Hotone Ampero Switch FS-1 compatible with all multi-effects units?
Compatibility depends on the presence of a "control" or "footswitch" input accepting a momentary contact via TRS. The supplied TRS cable transmits two commands from the two switches.
Do both footswitches operate in latch or momentary mode?
Both switches use momentary operation: the contact is active while pressed and releases as soon as the foot leaves the switch.
Does the controller require power?
No power supply is required, with a declared consumption of 0 mA.
Can presets be changed with this dual footswitch?
Depending on the assignments available on the device connected via TRS, the two commands can be used to navigate between presets or trigger contextual actions. They also allow controlling scenes or a one-time function without using the multi-effects’ built-in footswitches. The controlled device must interpret momentary contacts.
Does the FS-1 alter the guitar sound?
This model does not process the audio signal: it adds neither gain, nor equalization, nor conversion. Its action is solely on triggering assigned commands.
