Will Boss FS-6 foot pedal work on G70 Keyboard

[Robbie47]

Can the Boss FS-6 be used to switch from slow Leslie organ effect to fast on a Roland G70

does the g70 allow slow/fast leslie switching option via the sustain pedal input or another footswitch input option? if so then the pedal will work, it's really whether the keyboard allows you to assign the switching to a pedal port (jack), that will be your potential inhibitor.

Thanks, I have no pedals attached now but there is a couple of You tube videos, one with a G70 stating verbally but not showing the hook up or type of pedal used. The other video is of a different Roland keyboard I'm assuming a newer machine. Roland stopped making the G70 I believe in 1976. The pedal in the second video uses the Boss FS-6 pedal. The G70 has pedal inputs.

MIDI implementation back in the 70's is inconsistent. Might be an option, but no guarantees. If you have a sustain pedal or have access to a sustain pedal, give it a shot. If you have to purchase one but would otherwise have no use for it, buy one from a company that has a return policy. try it, if you can't get it to work, return the pedal.

Thanks for the advise delaware dave. Much appreciated!

Hi, I see you have a Hammond B3. I have a Hammond C3 with two Leslie 122 cabinets. Thinking of selling it but not sure where to list it, Ebay, etc? Any idea what it's worth in today's market?

If you're in the US, either sell it locally on craigslist or list it on reverb.com

Hammond C3 | Reverb

Reverb is a marketplace bringing together a wide-spanning community to buy, sell, and discuss all things music gear.

Or see if a local dealer will sell it for you on consignment. (only if desperate to sell)

Only played by a little old lady in church on Sundays.

Makes the Reverb and Ebay prices look ridiculous though.

It's truly only worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
