The Footswitch (FS) socket is typically used for discrete on/off
switch such as a sustain pedal, or contact switch/pedal (similar to
your Boss FS-51 pedal. I don't believe the Boss pedals output the
correct polarity to be used with a Yamaha keyboard. I don't recall
off the top of my head whether the polarity can switch on the AN1x
itself - check the manual. Some pedals allow you to swap the
polarity on the pedal itself.

The Behringer pedal is a continuous contoller and can be used in
either the Footcontrol (FC) or Foot Volume (FV) jacks. Either can
be reprogrammed unde the Utility Cntl menu item on the AN1x. The
default for the FV is MIDI CC #007 (Volume) which affects the
overall volume level of the AN1x. If memory serves, the default for
FV is MIDI CC #001 for Modulation which would duplicate the function
of the Mod Wheel on the front panel (I might be mistaken, it could
default to something like Filter Cutoff...) Again, either can be
reprogrammed to any other MIDI CC value so you could use your
continuous controller pedal as a foot switch, or you could connect a
discreet on/off pedal to the FC or FV jacks without issue.
