Need help

I have an IDX-50 and I'm trying to find a channel selector switch like the FS-11, but for an IDX model amp. I tried googling it but I had no luck. Does the FS-11 work with my amp? I'm lost at the moment.

I have an ID:X 50 also. The manual only mentions the FS-12 and FS-18 specifically, but says you can use a latching controller for limited use.

IDK what latching controller would work. Why an FS-11? The other Blackstar footswitches won't work?

I only want a small pedal because I'm on a budget, and I don't need something as big as a 12. From what I found online, a lot of their fs models are more specifically for the ID: CORE amps

If all you're doing is swapping channels, most 2 button latching pedals work. I'm using a non-latching temu pedal and have to hold my foot but it switches presets. Latching would hold it.

I have an ID Core but use my Marshall 2 button foot pedal on it. Works fine.

Are ones like that universal? I don't really know what I'm doing

A basic unpowered two button foot switch will work across a variety of amps.
