{"product_id":"boss-ga-fc-ex-guitar-amp-foot-controller","title":"BOSS GA-FC EX Guitar Amp Foot Controller","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe BOSS GA-FC EX is a floor foot controller designed for BOSS and Roland amplifiers equipped with a GA-FC connection. It puts compatible amp functions within foot reach, allowing players to change channels and switch effects without leaving the instrument. This is a practical control expansion for guitarists and bassists who want hands-free operation onstage or in a rehearsal setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix heavy-duty footswitches provide direct access to assigned amplifier functions, while two-color LEDs show the current control status at a glance. The controller is intended to make transitions between saved amp settings and effects more manageable during a performance. Its operation is determined by the connected amplifier, so available functions can vary by model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GA-FC EX extends the standard GA-FC format with a rear-panel mode selector and additional control possibilities. Its dedicated expression-pedal connections support foot control of volume and other compatible amp parameters when approved expression pedals are added. The unit itself is a control accessory and connects to the amplifier with the included 1\/4-inch TRS foot controller cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor supported Katana Gen 3 and Katana MkII amplifiers, the GA-FC EX can be used in EXPAND mode with a second GA-FC EX or standard GA-FC. It can also operate two supported amplifiers through FOOT CONTROL 2 mode, or support a third expression pedal through EXP PEDAL 3 mode. These expanded functions are available only with amplifier models that specifically support the GA-FC EX.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rugged metal chassis is suited to repeated floor use in home, practice, studio, and live-performance systems. It does not require a separate power supply when connected to a compatible amplifier with the supplied TRS cable. For players building a more complete amp-control rig, it can be paired with compatible BOSS or Roland expression pedals and an FS-5U footswitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix Footswitches:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides direct floor access to compatible amplifier functions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Color LEDs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps make control status easier to see while playing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpanded Modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports expansion, dual-amp control, or a third expression pedal on supported amps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Expression Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connect up to two compatible expression pedals for additional foot control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTRS Amp Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects to a compatible GA-FC jack with one included 1\/4-inch TRS cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal Chassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a rugged enclosure for regular floor use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GA-FC EX uses a rugged metal chassis with six heavy-duty footswitches arranged in a compact, low-profile floor format.
