LED is great!
Works perfect with my 1 channel, 2 master volume Marshall head.(JCM900 2100)I use my LED volume setting for playing and when the light is off, the other volume is set to 0.So between songs or any time I need some quiet, TAP... and no longer will I forget I have my volume pedal down too... oh no!No light? No sound! Easy peasy!!!Tap the button, light comes on and BAMMMM!!!

Well made switch. Does not work with Fishman Solo. Same one without the LED does.
This is a very nicely made switch. The case is solid and it has a pad on the back so it doesn't slide or mark up your floor. It is heavy enough to stay where you put it. I got it to use with a Fishman Solo SA220. It does not work with the Solo. The version without the LED, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OYLGKM, does work perfectly with it. This one with the LED leaves the Solo permanently in mute. This is due to the LED being wired across the terminals in front of the switch. This allows a small amount of current to always be in the circuit so the circuit is always closed. The sensor in the solo is sensitive enough to pick up this small amount of current and it triggers the amp to remain in mute. The version with no LED is a simple true switch from completely closed to completely open so it works. I wish this one were wired with the led behind the switch so the circuit could be truly opened. It would be nice to have the LED to indicate the mute status. If they ever make one with the led that works with the solo I will buy it.Some have complained that the light comes on for their clean channel and off for their distorted one. This is due to the way the amp is wired not a problem with the switch. This is a simple switching mechanism. The 1/4" jack used has a tip and a sleeve with a wire connected to each at the jack end. If you connect the other end of the wires together the circuit is closed. If they are not connected the circuit is open. The switch simply connects and disconnects the wires. When the wires are connected to close the circuit current can flow and some of that current is used to light the LED. Some amp makers have the closed circuit position, LED lit, trigger the clean channel while others have it the opposite way. If the switch works you just have to know what channel the LED is lit for.

SWITCHED ON FOOT SWITCH
This is really well made and reasonably heavy foot switch furthermore it works really well. It's heavy enough that it won't slide around so you won't look like an Arthur Murray dance class as your foot searches for the elusive footswitch. It's also in a big enough housing that it won't tip over like so many light plastic footswitches are prone to do. It also comes with a VERY generous length of cable to hook it to your whatever. In adiition to all this it simply works quite well every time you step on the switch.I would buy this product again in a heartbeat if the one I own somehow disappeared.

It would be nice to have the option to replace the cable
Made of solid metal, the switch feels solid as well. The LED actually works but your amp is supposed to power the LED. The cable is the only part of the pedal that looks a little weak but I've not had the pedal for long enough to be able to say if it is durable or not. It would be nice to have the option to replace the cable, but still is cheap enough to replace if necessary. I would buy it again if lost or stolen (If works well while I have it).-I'm using it with a Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 100w head

the switch functions fine but the LED does not work
Delivery was quick, the switch functions fine but the LED does not work. Having said this, I don't care much about the LED not working so I would say that I am pretty satisfied with the product.

Does not work with Marshall
I have a Marshall MG15CFX and this pedal does nothing for it.

Marshall vs. Fender
I needed a single button switch for my little Fender Mustang I that I practice on. I've never owned the Fender model switch but I know what it is. It will do the job but it's lightweight and won't sit flat on the floor if the cord isn't laying exactly right. I searched a little further and ran across this switch on Amazon by scrolling down a bit. "Marshall Footswitch, One Button With LED by AmplifiedParts." Folks, this thing is built like a tank. The casing is made of heavy duty (I don't know what gauge) steel. There's nothing rinky dink about it. I plugged it in to the FTSW jack, clicked the button, the LED lit up and the amp switched to the other tagged preset. Another click and the light went out and back to the original. It felt solid under my foot and I don't think one can tear the casing up unless they have a 3 or 4 lb. sledge hammer. I don't know how well the electronics will hold up (I just got it today) but the switch, again, feels solid like it's supposed to. It cost me $20.90 with shipping. It takes a couple of days longer to arrive than what we're use to with Amazon but it ships directly from AmplifiedParts, I think. I'm a Fender fan but this beats their single switch. The only problem I have is the cord length. It's got way more cord than I'll ever need. If you want to pull an Alice Cooper on stage, you can hang yourself with it. Seriously though, its just an inconvenience for me. Thanks for reading guys. Lane H.

Great little pedal for a low price
I bought this for use with my Fender Mustang II V2. This pedal is built well and is very solid. It sits in place well like a pedal should. I saved dozens of dollars by going with this pedal versus one from a major guitar store. I strongly recommend it.PROS: Well-built and solid ... great for a guitar amp with a single channel. It's not light weight and unstable like some other inexpensive pedals.CONS: The LED light on my pedal does not light at all - it may as well not even exist. However, once you step on the button you switch just like that, and my amp shows me what selection is active anyway with either a green or red LED.I would highly recommend this pedal for it's low cost and design. 5 Stars.
