Vertical Tap Tempo
Ultra-compact vertical footswitch designed for Strymon pedals, measuring 1.1 inches wide by 2 inches tall, providing external tap tempo control in a space-saving upright orientation.
The Simple Switch Effects Vertical Tap Tempo represents a clever solution to a common pedalboard problem: how to add tap tempo control without sacrificing valuable real estate. Specifically designed for use with Strymon pedals, this auxiliary footswitch features a unique vertical orientation that minimizes the footprint on your pedalboard. Measuring just 1.1 inches wide by 2 inches deep and 2 inches tall (with the tap switch extending an additional 0.5 inches), the Vertical Tap Tempo takes up significantly less space than traditional horizontal footswitches.
The vertical design allows the switch to nestle between pedals or fit in narrow gaps that would be unusable for standard footswitches, making it ideal for dense pedalboards where every square inch matters. Despite its compact size, the footswitch features a responsive momentary switch that's easy to tap rhythmically during performance. The unit connects to Strymon pedals via a standard TRS cable (typically sold separately), providing reliable tap tempo functionality for delay, modulation, and reverb effects.
Simple Switch Effects offers the Vertical Tap Tempo in standard black or white finishes, with custom colors available upon request for players who want to match their pedalboard aesthetic. The minimalist design focuses purely on functionality - there are no lights, batteries, or additional features to complicate operation. It's simply a well-engineered momentary footswitch in a space-saving form factor.
The Vertical Tap Tempo is particularly valuable for players using multiple Strymon pedals who want independent tap tempo control for different effects without dedicating excessive pedalboard space. While specifically designed for Strymon compatibility, the switch works with any effect pedal that accepts a TRS footswitch for tap tempo control. The passive design means no power connection is required - the switch draws no current and requires no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. For minimalist pedalboard builders and players who prioritize space efficiency, the Vertical Tap Tempo delivers essential functionality in the smallest possible footprint.
