PROEL GF26 - Footswitch On/Off Pedal with LED Indicator
Maximize control over your sound on stage or in the studio with the Proel GF26 , a footswitch designed for immediate and reliable response. Part of the acclaimed Golden Feet series, this device combines elegant Italian design with robust engineering, built to withstand the demands of professional musicians. Unlike generic pedals, the GF26 stands out for its hybrid construction and superior stability, making it the perfect partner for guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists who need to manage the functions of their amplifiers or effects units with ease.
This pedal acts as a latching switch, meaning it maintains the selected state (on or off) until pressed again. It's the ultimate tool for switching amplifier channels (from clean to distortion), activating or deactivating reverb, or managing effects loops. Its reinforced construction ensures that, no matter how intense the performance, the pedal will respond precisely with every press.
Main features
-
High-strength hybrid construction: Made with a smart combination of thermoplastic ABS and aluminum , it offers exceptional durability without adding unnecessary weight to your pedalboard.
-
Total stability "Golden Feet": Thanks to its non-slip feet and weighted base, the pedal stays firmly on the ground, preventing unwanted movement during use.
-
LED status indicator: Incorporates an LED diode that allows you to quickly see if the switch is active or inactive, ideal for low-light scenarios (note: the operation of the LED may depend on the power supplied by the connected amplifier).
-
Intelligent modular design: It features recessed slots that allow for convenient and tidy assembly if you decide to use multiple units of the Golden Feet series together.
-
Ready-to-use connectivity: Includes an integrated 2-meter cable, terminated in a 6.3 mm (1/4") male Mono Jack connector, compatible with the vast majority of amplifiers and audio equipment on the market.
Benefits for the musician
The Proel GF26 solves one of the most common problems in live performance: the uncertainty of whether an effect or channel is activated. Its operation is both mechanical and tactile, providing a secure "click" under your foot. By freeing your hands, it allows you to focus exclusively on your performance. Furthermore, its low-profile, ergonomic design reduces foot fatigue during long sessions, while its robust construction ensures you won't need to replace it after a demanding tour.
Use cases
-
Channel switching on amplifiers: Alternate between the "Clean" and "Overdrive" channels of your guitar or bass amplifier.
-
Integrated effects management: Activates or deactivates the amplifier's own Reverb, Tremolo or Chorus.
-
Studio equipment control: Useful for activating recording (Punch-in/Punch-out) on multitrack recorders that support standard switching pedals.
-
Lighting systems: Compatible with light controllers that accept mono jack triggers to turn scenes on or off.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this pedal work as a sustain pedal for piano (damper)?
No, the GF26 is an on/off pedal. For piano sustain, momentary pedals (which only work while depressed) are typically required. For sustain, we recommend looking for models specifically designed for that function within the Proel range.
-
Does it need batteries to work?
The switching mechanism is passive and operates without batteries. However, the LED indicator requires a small current which, in most cases, is supplied directly by the amplifier through the cable if it supports the remote LED function.
-
Is it compatible with any brand of amplifier?
It is compatible with the vast majority of amplifiers (Fender, Marshall, Orange, Vox, etc.) that use a standard 1/4" footswitch input (large jack) and operate with "latch" (open/closed) switching logic.
