General
The FSM 432 MK3 foot switch by Hughes & Kettner is the successor to the FSM 432 MK2. This foot switch was designed to be used with the Grandmeister 36 guitar amplifier head. You can also use it for Hughes & Kettner amps for which you used to use the MK2, such as the Switchblade & Coreblade series. The Tubemeister 36 is also compatible with the MK3. The FSM 432 MK 3 is ergonomically shaped to best accommodate the movement your foot makes while using this MIDI foot switch.
Hughes & Kettner FSM 432 MK 3: MIDI foot switch with wide layout.
Like its predecessor, the FMS 432 features a 7-pin MIDI connector that allows for phantom power. Additionally, you can also use this Hughes & Kettner foot switch for a 5-pin connection, but then you do need power from a separate power adapter. Thanks to the wide switches, you can be sure you'll use the right one every time. Via the slider switch on the back of the foot switch, you can even choose between preset or stompbox modes. With the FSM 432 MK 3, you have all the functions of your Hughes & Kettner amplifier at your feet.
