The Boss FS-5U really surprised me with how compact it is—it’s even smaller than I expected. But despite its size, it feels rock solid. It’s made from sturdy metal, not cheap plastic, and you can feel the quality as soon as you pick it up. Definitely what you’d expect from Boss—built to last.
I’m using it as a sustain pedal, and it works flawlessly. No lag, no weird noise, just smooth and responsive operation. It doesn’t slide around on the floor either, which is a huge plus. For the price, it’s fantastic—compact, durable, and reliable. If you’re in need of a solid sustain pedal that doesn’t feel like a toy, this one’s a no-brainer.
