With a three-switch pedal, it can not only turn pages, but can also call up set lists and perform other functions. In addition, settings, timing and other features can be changed by using of a PC application. To maximise the functions of the foot switch, the new updates will be available in the future.

It will be available in three colours (navy, red, light brown), which is made of high-quality European leather from carefully selected cowhide. The case can also be closed by inserting a stylus pen in the pen holder. It is designed and manufactured by SOMÈS SADDLE of Japan.
