Fostex Footswitch 8051 Black

This used Fostex 8051 Footswitch is a legacy, heavy-duty remote foot pedal designed specifically for hands-free punch-in/out and play/locate functions on Fostex multi-track tape recorders and mixers Manufactured as a dedicated utility tool for vintage recording units (like the Fostex Model 80 or R8), it has long been discontinued by the manufacturer. This footswitch is showing minor uses like dust, and ware.

Core Specifications

• Switch Type: It is an unlatched (momentary) type footswitch utilizing a heavy-duty TACT switch.
• Electrical Polarity: The switch operates as a normally open (NO) circuit.
• Connectivity: It comes equipped with a permanently attached 6-foot cable terminating in a standard 1/4-inch (6.35mm) TS plug.
• Build: Designed for heavy studio use, it features a robust chassis with rubber non-slip padding on both the top and bottom surfaces.

• Keyboard Sustain Pedals: Standard unlatched keyboard sustain pedals can be used as a drop-in substitute, provided they match the "normally open" polarity or feature a polarity inversion switch.
• Third-Party Alternatives: Simple, durable momentary foot switches—such as those manufactured by Hosa Technology—serve as excellent, affordable equivalents for studio tracking setups.
