Features
Fs-6 is basically the fusion of FS-5L (latch type) and the FS-5U (momentary type) foot switches in one. Both A and B pedals can have both types by changing the MODE setting in the back of the foot switch.
Latch Type - alternately switches on or off each time the pedal switch is pressed.
Momentary Type - Switches on (off) while the pedal switch is held down, and off (on) when the switch is released.
The polarity setting basically works as an indicator, to choose whether you want to have the light on or off while the pedal is on.
Connection
For a full performance of the machine I recommend using a TRS 1/4 phone jack, this jack also works as a power switch while plugged in the FS-6, so don't forget to unplug it when you are not using the foot switch unless you want to kill some batteries.
Overall
I have use for about 4 months now, well and from my experience with him i can say well it isn't bad foot switch and it isnt best also, for example the polarity settings thing its just useless, there was no need to add it.
They aren't much compatible also, they only work pretty much with Roland/Boss stuff. i have tried on a Fender Frontman 212r and it really mess up the destortion options of the amp.
Also if you aren't carefull and hit to hard the pedal insted of you clicking on time you'll click two and really mess up things if you are in a gig.
