What is the “+”? 

  • Upgrade 1: New generation white casing, perfectly matched with Ampero II Stomp/Stage! The casing of Ampero Switch+ adopts the same aluminum alloy material as Ampero II Stomp/Stage, giving it a premium texture. 
  • Upgrade 2: Ingenious slope design, enhances the pedal experience, avoiding tipping issues! 

Here’s how to kick off Ampero Switch+ 

Pair with Ampero series effects: Using a 6.35mm TRS cable (included in the package), connect Ampero Switch+ to the external pedal/footswitch interface of the Ampero series effects, then set the external pedal interface type in the global settings of the Ampero series effects to “dual footswitch” and you can assign different functions to the two footswitches of Ampero Switch+ as needed.  

Ampero Switch+ is a momentary external footswitch. 

What is momentary type footswitch?  And what about latch-type? 

When we talk about a latch-type footswitch, we’re referring to a kind of footswitch that remains on status once triggered on until you operate on it again. For example, a light on/off switch. Latch-type footswitch does not require continuous compression from players, which is great for switching effect pedals on/off or switching between amp channels.  Momentary footswitch is different: it remains on only as long as it is being compressed (e.g. a lighter with a press button). When you do a single press on a momentary footswitch, it will generate a short on-off “pulse”, which is recognized as a “trigger” on most digital multi-effects for switching presets, tap tempo, toggling effects on/off, etc. So momentary footswitch is mainly for controlling a digital gear.

Compressor

A compressor pedal evens out your dynamics, smoothing peaks and lifting quieter notes so everything feels tighter and more controlled. It adds sustain, clarity, and balance — making clean chords ring longer, country licks snap with precision, and funk rhythms pop with consistency. Subtle or pronounced, compression shapes the feel of your playing as much as the sound.

Use it at the front of your chain to tighten your core tone, add sustain to leads, or keep complex passages sitting neatly in the mix. From gentle polish to unmistakable squash, a compressor is one of those foundational tools that quietly makes everything sound more professional and dialled in.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

used

Used pedals bring character, value, and often a bit of history to your board. Whether it’s a well-loved classic or a recent release looking for its next home, a used pedal offers the same core tone at a more accessible price. Fully tested and described clearly, it’s a chance to grab great gear without paying brand-new money.

Go used to explore different sounds, track down discontinued favourites, or build your setup more affordably. Sometimes a pedal with a few marks on the casing still delivers flawless tone — and might even have a story or two behind it.
