The GA-FC-EX is therefore massively expanded in capabilities and prowess over its predecessor - but you can use both together if you wish - or even go for Two of the expanded edition if you feel the need! But there's more. If you want to have real time control of your amp's volume and drive, you can connect any compatible footswitch to the corresponding 1/4 inch input and use it to control that function. This gives you total creative freedom to alter the sound of your amp while you play - something you can't do without this controller. With easy switching and flexible control, this is the ultimate accessory that will transform your amp.

Connect one GA-FC EX via two cables toselect memories and effects on both amps, either together orindependently. The GA-FC EX can be used with other BOSS and Roland amplifiers that support the GA-FC, but only standard GA-FC control functions are available. Seeing how much has been added to the Katana Amps recently with the MKII edition expanded features, across Boss Tone Studio, and Tone Exchange etc. - the idea was to get even more granularity of control out of the Foot Controller format - which is how and why we arrived at the GA-FX-EX - essentially a massively expanded version of the original. It won’t be replacing the GA-FC which still remains as the mainstay offering - but rather it will offer a lot more smarts and enhanced control abilities over and above the standard edition - for those amps its fully compatible with.

Customer Reviews

Strong and durable. Boss products are well known for their endless reliability, and the Boss GA-FC is no exception. With a robust design and high quality switches, you can be sure that this footswitch will perform gig after gig. Not only is it built like a tank, it also has bright LED indictor lights to show you which channel or effect you have selected. This is incredibly useful when performing on dark stages. A true gigging solution.

In use this thing is as easy as chips, simply plug it in with the included standard guitar lead, and you?re up and running. The functionality is very impressive for such a simple looking pedal. You can access 8 presets (using the Katana 100) plus the current panel setting giving you a total of 9 different sounds instantly at your feet! And if that?s not enough, you can also turn on and off the individual stomp effects within each preset which makes this f.s extremely flexible indeed. For example while in any of the 8 presets you can see what effects you have assigned to that preset and turn them on and off just by tapping their individual switch. No need to move to another preset just to get rid off the delay, simply turn it off with a tap of its own switch. Refer to user guide for specifics!
