Included is a 1-button footswitch for activating the boost feature. An optional 2-button footswitch allows control of both boost/overdrive and reverb functions. This facilitates easy, quick adjustments during performances. The Studio 10 6L6’s elegant design, combined with high-quality components and versatile features, makes it a standout choice.
