Footswitch Topper

solid and sturdy when screwed in. lil built in screws provided. gives the confidence of engaging a pedal switch

EDIT: I Bought another set to complete my FM9 board; still fantastic, picture included :) ____ I bought the 6 piece set of black (3/8"/10mm) for my Fractal FM9. These came in a small plastic snap case (I am now using as a travel pick case) and with extra screws and two wrenches. I upgraded from an FM3 to the FM9 and have 3 other buttons from the expensive brand that cost $7 each that I was going to use on the top 3 buttons but I have now also ordered a second set of 6; I wish I had just bought a full set of 12 to begin with, or the multi colored set. I am going to put three on the top row of the FM9 to flesh it out and make it uniform and put the extra three I have left over on my other pedals. In my opinion these buttons are better than their very expensive competitors; the rubber insert prevents damage to the foot-switch and allows for even installation of all three screws. These fit snug right onto the switch with gentle pressure, and with the set screws in they will not come off. I had issues with the other brand coming off unless the screws were set very tight and potentially damaging/indenting the foot-switch. I believe the full contact of the rubber insert allows for more friction so it not only protects but grips the foot-switch more. Great quality, amazing value!

I really like these toppers. They aren't plastic snap-ons. Rugged metal construction. I play barefoot in my music room. Easier clicks on and off using this. Easy installation, too. More pedals coming, so this was a perfect addition to make the pedals kinder to my feet. Give them a try. I think you will be happy with this product.

After I ordered, I read some reviews, some a few years old, that weren't very encouraging. I didn't have any of those experiences. The toppers didn't go down too far on the switch. They didn't prevent the switch from engagine. My "modern" TC Electronic pedals had no ill fitting, my Orange footswitch the same. My Modtone pedal has a switch that no pedal topper would work on. All of the set screws were in the threads; the Allen key was to correct size (and there were two of them in each package), nothing stripped out. Everything went smoothly, and I ordered another pack with mixed colors for a few more switches. Takeaway, they're "good enough".

I have them all over my pedals and they’re very solid. The work as described. Every 6-pack comes with the little rubber spacers and a couple Allen wrenches. Since I ordered so many of them, I know have around two dozen of those Allen wrenches…but, oh well. Install is a breeze, but make sure you put the little rubber adhesive pad down on your switch before you put the covers on. On a lot of my switches, the cover isn’t at the correct height until you put those rubber spacers in between the switch and cover. I had a bunch of the covers installed before I realized the importance of those adhesive rubber spacers (didn’t read the instructions so that’s on me).

These were awesome. Clamped to the switches great and maintained their color making switching better and protecting the switch

Hey, these switch toppers really do work! I was not expecting much and figured they might be shoddy but I was surprised. I like playing in my bare or sock-covered feet and it used to hurt a bit. Not now! I picked the silver color for low light levels but there are lots of other colors. They perfectly fit all my pedals except one, which I didn't expect to because of the switch's slightly larger diameter. I "Gooped" the topper to the existing switch and it looks like factory and works like a charm. There are six to a package and I bought two packs to do twelve pedals. Seems pricey until you can see your pedals in low light and your feet hurt less.

These are hardly universally compatible right out of the bag, as some pedal switches will have clearance issues and make the pedal engage inconsistently or not at all. But I was able to reliably get around this with some felt padding I had lying around and a standard hole puncher. Simply punch a whole into the felt and place the cut piece into the inside of the topper, then screw it onto the switch like normal. If you don't have felt, you could even use several layers of cardstock or even regular printer paper. It's been a few weeks and the footswitches work 100% reliably and their tactile sensations are still intact. Also it's definitely worth noting that it is VERY easy to strip these screws. So be very careful and take your time. I would still recommend these given that the compatibility issue was a somewhat easy fix, they feel great in terms of their size, and the alternatives are over twice the price and/or ship with ugly branding.
