Cube 40XL/80XL Footswitch
- ON THE 80XL THERE IS A SWITCH ON THE REAR OF THE AMP TO DO THIS
- ON THE 40XL YOU WILL NEED HOLD DOWN THE [TAP/STOP] BUTTON ON THE AMP WHEN TURNING IT ON, YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE.
The switches control the amp's many functions in the following ways;
- The Channel switch selects the channel.
- The Solo switch activates the solo preset, and there is one preset for each channel. The presets cannot be set using the pedal with the Channel/Solo cable attached to the amp, you will need to do that using the Solo button on the amp.
- The EFX switch activates whichever effect is selected on the amp’s EFX knob, which could be either Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo or Heavy Octave.
- The Reverb switch activates the amp’s reverb if the level is selected on the reverb knob.
- The Delay switch activates the amp’s delay if the level is selected on the delay knob.
- If looper is selected on the amp’s delay knob then the pedal’s Tap and Delay switch will control the looper.
The pedal comes with two cable options;
No cable - the pedal is made with three stereo sockets to enable you to connect it to your Cube 40XL or 80XL using three stereo 1/4" cables (not supplied)
Detachable cable - the pedal has a detachable 4m or 1m cable with three colour coded stereo 1/4" jacks to connect it to your Cube 40XL or 80XL (+£20.00/+£18.00)
The pedal is totally passive so no power required, however if you would like to power the LEDs you can add a battery to the internal clip or use the Boss style 2.1mm 9v (negative ground) DC socket.

Just what it should be!
After messing with three boss fs-6 dual footswitches I decided to order this fro Roland Cube 80xl. Hope I have found this earlier...great!

It's neat, does what it says on the label and beats Boss at their own game
When I started playing some charity gigs with my guitar tutor and another pupil, I needed a decent amp, so I bought a Roland Cube 80-XL just before they were discontinued. Well once I had the amp I discovered I needed to be able to switch between the channels and effects quickly and started looking at pedals (Boss being the recommended choice of the manufacturer). Went on Google and found bright onion pedals, where I found this little beauty; just slightly larger than one Boss FS-6. However, to do what this pedal does, you'll need three of them, that will set you back £135 for the switches alone; they only work with batteries and they’ll take up a lot of floor space/pedal board real estate. I went for the standard build, clear with 4m detachable cable and the clicking tap switch - £84.45 including delivery, with the helpful 5% discount code. All in all, a very welcome early Christmas present from my better half. James was helpfulness itself when I had to contact him and the pedal arrived within 10 days, don't forget each one is built to order. As reported by other reviewers, it worked like a dream, impressed my guitar tutor and everyone else who has seen it. I can whole heartedly recommend this pedal to anyone with a similar Roland amp and I equally whole heartedly recommend bright onion pedals! Oh, and my guitar tutor was so impressed with the switch that he asked me to get one for him.

A bright comp-onion for my Cube 80XL !
This pedal is truly fantastic... I chose these "upgrades" : 4m fixed cable and soft touch tap tempo switch. The result is exactly what I expect from a convenient/all-in-one/passive/compact footswitch supposed to control this amp at its max. Just perfect! Thank you!

What a buy!
I also came across this pedal whilst looking for a BOSS pedal capable of switching between the channels and effects on this amp. This pedal represents unbelievable value for money compared to the other options available, and performs faultlessly with the amp. I have a blue one with LED's and a fixed cable. and James was extremely helpful in answering all my questions I had on this pedal prior to purchasing. If you are playing live with this amp, then this pedal is an essential purchase in my opinion.

Buy this instead of the BOSS pedal and save a ton of money
I went on Ebay to look for some BOSS FS-6 pedals for my CUBE 80XL when I found this beauty. Thanks to this pedal I saved about half the money I intended to spend on pedals and I do not have a lot of wires all over the floor, just one. I got a green one with the soft button and fixed cable. Thanks James

Truly Stunning Pedal!
This piece of equipment is Superb!! I was intent on purchasing 3 of the Boss FS-6 to maximise my Roland Cube 40XL guitar amp. THAT WAS UNTIL I SAW THIS PEDAL!! FROM James at Bright Onion Pedals. This is a truly amazing piece of equipment the works superbly with the Roland Cube XL range. I had my pedal in orange with LED's and the fixed cable with click buttons which work excellently for me too. I have a piece of equipment that is robust - looks great and works superbly. Do buy one for your Roland Cube 40XL - you will not be disappointed.

Was mine the first?
A while ago, I asked James to build me a footswitch for my Cube 80X. Apart from a dodgy blue LED which he replaced free of charge, it has performed excellently ever since on all gigs with my own band, RoAdworks, and with Desperate Dan. He upgraded the tap-tempo button for me to a soft-touch switch. I would recommend his work without reservation. I had nothing but trouble when using the FS-6 Boss switches, and this is a far better option if you want to get the best from your Cube. Hint - don't ask for a longer cable than you really need as the multi-way cables are a bit inflexible.
