Step with confidence and ease on a big, bright target

Footswitch Size
Color: Clear

UFOs (Under-Foot Objects) have landed and they are headed for your pedalboard! 
- Do you play at home in your socks, or even bare feet? Those footswitches can be a bit rough on your feet.
- Do you play on stages with dim lighting or in clubs with nothing but blacklights around? You don't want to miss your target when it's time to boost into a solo or activate psychedelic mode.

UFOs make your footswitches big and bold - easy to see and easy to stomp.

They fit tightly by friction onto your pedals' footswitches, and there is a tiny air channel up the inside of the hole to allow airflow and avoid any weird pressure situations when pushing it on or pulling it off. The switch size is imprinted in the underside of the button, making it easy to identify when you've got different sizes at hand for different pedal types.

Mounting your UFO:
- Just put it on the footswitch and mash it down - I like to stand on mine if they take a bit of extra force to get on! Some will be more or less difficult to put on and take off as there is a certain amount of spec tolerance in hardware to account for, but in general you should have a nice snug fit.

Sizes and Pedals:
- MOST pedals have 10mm footswitches, so just grab standard 10mm size UFOs. These are the widest compatibility - MXR, EHX, Digitech, the big companies generally go with this size.
- Tech21 pedals, however, use an 11mm footswitch, so of course make sure you get that size for your SansAmps and such.
- TC Electronic pedals that are equipped with a MASH switch: that switch is yet another size, 13mm, but I've got those as well.

COLOR NOTES:

- I try to keep color listings up to date and try to keep the most popular colors on hand; bear with me if I run out or a listing gets out of sync.
- "Clear" color is not fully glass-clear; due to the 3d printing process it's got a translucent, almost frosted look - cool if you have lighting underneath.
- "UV" colors are fluorescent and glow under blacklight; nice for visibility on a club stage when there are blacklights around, and even just being generally bright in normal lighting conditions. They are not the same as glow-in-the-dark, which I don't use in my products because the glow effect is too weak and short-lived to be useful.
- I will be doing 'mystery colors' and special occasion colors from time to time - keep an eye out!
