Get one of these instead from DV247 for £5.99. I have two myself - exactly the same thing, and they can even slot together in exactly the same way - and you don't need batteries with the VM22:

+1 on the Bespeco above.
I had one knocking around from years ago - works just fine on my 50 watter.
Just wondered how the £5.99 Bespeco has been working for you all?
I have the Katana 50, and agree that the boss fs-5l is pretty steep for what it is, + needing a battery!
About to order the Bespeco from dv247, just wondered if it does actually work fine?
Think the only thing I can do with the 50 watt is switch between 2 channels, so that's all I'd need it for.
I presume its just a standard guitar cord that's needed too to link them up?
Cheers all
The problem with the Bespeco is that the switch turns on without a jack attached and illuminates the light which drains the battery. So I'd get it out of my leads bag and find that it had turned on and drained the battery. That doesn't happen with the Boss unit, which will only switches on with a jack attached.
Also, the Boss unit has a polarity switch which might be useful depending on what you're using it with.
Personally I prefer the Boss unit which is much better made. But if you don't use the light and you don't need the polarity switch, the Bespeco might be best for you.
Just wondered if the bespeco did indeed work fine with that.
Also, whats the polarity then?
Which changes wether the footswitch activates the channel change when 'on' or 'off'
So imagine you have a little red led that lights up, you can decide if you want it lit on channel 1 or channel 2.
