Check out our list of Compatible Foot Switches and Pedals below - these are the models that we've tried ourselves, so it's not a comprehensive list covering every keyboard pedal/footswitch out there (not yet, anyways). We'll update the list as we hear from our customers and get opportunities to test other models.
The BT-105 requires a stereo connection to the Foot Switch/Pedal. A wide variety of BT-105 connector cables and adapters are available in the Accessories section of our web store. You can also make your own switch cable for the BT-105 - click here for instructions.
