Since 1977, BOSS has lead the way with innovative effects pedals, amplifiers, multi-effects processors, and loopers to wireless systems, vocal effects, tuners, metronomes, rhythm machines, recorders, and more. The Essential Companion to your BOSS/Roland Amp The GA-FC EX provides expanded foot control functionality for select BOSS and Roland amplifiers. It maintains the simple setup and intuitive workflow of the standard GA-FC while offering additional functions for greater performance flexibility. The GA-FC EX builds on the standard GA-FC with several enhanced features. Status LEDs with two colors make it easier to see changes when switching. Expanded GA-FC with enhanced functionality for select BOSS amplifiers (Katana MkII Amp Series). Works as a standard GA-FC controller with other amplifier models. Rugged metal chassis and six heavy-duty footswitches. Control channel selection, effect on/off, and more. Two-color LEDs for easy view of control status. Enhanced Performance Control for Katana MkII Amps Don't have a Katana MkII Amp? No Problem! The GA-FC EX can be used with the following BOSS and Roland amplifiers that support the GA-FC Foot Controller, but only standard GA-FC control functions are available. BOSS Katana-100, Katana-100/212, Katana-Head and Katana Artist BOSS Nextone Special, Artist, and Stage BOSS Waza Tube Amp Expander BOSS Katana-210 Bass and Katana-110 Bass BOSS Acoustic Singer Pro and Live Roland Blues Cube Artist, Artist 212 and Tour DOUBLE YOUR FOOTSWITCHES Set the mode switch to EXPAND and connect an additional GA-FC EX or a standard GA-FC for even more floor control. With twice the footswitches, you have instant access to all memories and effects at once. If you use two Katana MkII amps in your setup, FOOT CONTROL 2 mode is for you. Connect one GA-FC EX via two cables to select memories and effects on both amps, either together or independently. Katana-Artist MkII Katana-Head MkII Katana-100 MkII Katana-100/212 MkII More Power and Flexibility The GA-FC EX builds on the standard GA-FC with several enhanced features. Status LEDs with two colors make it easier to see changes when switching. And along with two dedicated expression pedal jacks, there’s an additional control jack with a three-way mode selector. It allows you to connect a third expression pedal or use the GA-FC EX for expanded applications. Go Further with your Katana MkII Amp Unlike the standard GA-FC Foot Controller, The GA-FC EX has an in-built mode selector function which opens up powerful control capabilities with supported Katana MkII models. Whether you want to expand your control with an additional footswitch or operate more than one amp, the GA-FC EX has you covered. Universal Functionality Don't have a Katana MkII amp? No problem! The GA-FC EX can be used with selected BOSS and Roland amplifiers that support the GA-FC Foot Controller, but only standard GA-FC control functions are available, these functions include switching instantly between four channels and two routes of loops, reverbs, boost settings, etc. With endless room for creativity, get the most out of your GA-FC EX Foot Controller by connecting up to two expression pedals for real-time control of volume and drive! The FV-500L, FV-500H and EV-5 are all compatible with the GA-FC EX. Take command of the floor by connecting a BOSS footswitch, enabling you to switch between a variety of assigned functions depending on what amp you use, for details on operation please refer to the owner's manual of your amp. The FS-5U, FS-6 & FS-7 all function with the GA-FC EX (The FS-6 and FS-7 dual-footswitches should be run from the individual A/B outputs, and should be switched to ‘momentary’ control mode). For connecting additional footswitches to the GA-FC EX you should use a TS cable. These can be purchased from our BOSS BIC Instrument Cable range. Review: This is THE Pedal Switch - Currently connected to the back of a Boss Gigcaster, this controls the different virtual effects banks for the Gigcaster 5 and Gigcaster 8. This ex version has the colored lights so it’s easy to see which effects bank you are in when switching around. If you connect a second one of these pedals to the back of the master pedal, you don’t need to switch to the second effects bank. The second pedal acts as the extended effects bank. Overall this is super functional, as I have access to tons of different effects, instead of using a messy and noisy pedalboard. Again, what I’m talking about applies to the Boss Gigcaster 5 and the Boss Gigcaster 8. I have not tried this on the Boss Katana. The pedal switch does come with a cable. Although you may want to purchase a longer cable if you intend to use this anywhere other than at the base of where your Gigcaster or amp is sitting. Very solidly constructed pedal. Like most Boss items, I expect this will always work if it is not smashed around, if the pedal goes through that kind of thing often. I would recommend getting a second, (or third and fourth) for traveling around if you are a touring musician. That way you are not bashing up your studio foot pedals. If you are planning on running your main effects through this, you will probably want your studio pedals working reliably. Without question. All metal pedal construction though, so the pedal should be able to take a normal level of abuse and keep working, if you needed it to.

I believe it only works with the Kata Artist 100. You can find the answer for sure on Boss's website. **Q: Can other pedals be used along with the gafc?** A: Yes. This foot controller has its own Jack on the amp to control amp effects. Other pedals can be used in the effects loop or guitar input as normal. **Q: Is this compatible with a MkII 50 amp?** A: Only if it has GAFC jack on the back of the amplifier **Q: Is the TRS cable included in this purchase?** A: No cables are included. You would probably want to order cables to the proper length for your setup and make them 90 degree into the foot controller end. You will want to order dual 90 degree TRS cables if you plan to use the GA-FC EX in addition to a regular GA-FC. Dual controllers give even more control to your Katana-100 MkII or Artist MkII. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is THE Pedal Switch *by S***E on 20 December 2024* Currently connected to the back of a Boss Gigcaster, this controls the different virtual effects banks for the Gigcaster 5 and Gigcaster 8.

Using it with my Katana 500 bass head it works as a switch between the settings on Compression, Effects and Drive. ## Frequently Bought Together - Boss GA-FC EX Foot Controller for BOSS Katana Amplifiers - Boss BT-Dual Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adapter - Boss Katana Gen 3 100W 1x12" Combo Guitar Amplifier --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/626088944-boss-ga-fc-ex-foot-controller-for-boss-katana-amplifiers](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/626088944-boss-ga-fc-ex-foot-controller-for-boss-katana-amplifiers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
