Sometimes, there just aren’t enough footswitches on a pedal. This can be a pain even when you’re in your room practicing, having to bend over to mess with a pedal’s controls, let alone when you’re onstage, where making a performance look effortless can be the difference between impressing and really impressing your audience. What you need is a dual momentary footswitch.
And so, we at Vein-Tap.com thought we’d help you out with the Skinny Little Twins. This great, compact twin footswitch plugs into amps, multi-effects units, and higher-end effects pedals like the Boss RC-series Loop Stations to give your feet greater control, freeing up your hands for playing, showing off, and casting shadow puppets whilst gigging (don’t do this; it impresses no one. We checked).
This dual footswitch can be used to select your amp program, change memory banks, stop and start looping playback and, of course, tap in the tempo. Simply connect your Skinny Little Twins using a stereo patch cable and see how much they can help you out!
And it’s not just effects pedals. You can control amps galore – Roland’s CUBE XL series of guitar amps, for instance, all love having the Skinny Little Twins plugged into them to control their parameters.
These footswitches use a stereo output, so make sure you’ve got a stereo patch cable to use it with, or only one of the Skinny Little Twins’ switches will work. If you’re a bit confused as to what’s going on, please use the Contact Uspage and we’ll let you know exactly what it is you need.
New for 2016 – we’ve updated the Skinny Little Twins so that now you have a choice of hard click and soft touch footswitches, each in either Normally Open or Normally Closed flavours. Normally Closed works with Boss and Roland gear, and Normally Open works with pretty much anything else – again, Contact Us if you’re confused as to which option you need.
