Handsfree channel switching and more for your Line 6 amp and POD.

Line 6's FBV Express MKII Guitar Footswitch offers all the classic advantages you expect from a Line 6 foot controller, including rock-solid channel switches, a rugged wah/volume pedal and a chromatic tuner display but it's also full of surprises. The steel footswitches are built for constant stomping. They make it easy to store and select four channel presets, to synchronize time-based effects with Tap Tempo, and to activate the chromatic tuner. The burly, full-sized volume/wah pedal feels solid under your foot and features plenty of grip. Clicking the toe switch toggles between volume and wah control.

FBV Express MKII footswitch connects to your Line 6 amp or POD effect processor via the included locking RJ-45 cable. Perfectly paired with Spider IV and Spider Valve MKII guitar amplifiers, the FBV footswitch provides complete, handsfree control of the looper, pitch-shifter and other on-board amplifier effects.

Features

  • Hands-free channel switching and more for your Line 6 amp and POD
  • Footswitches and chassis are constructed of reliable steel
  • 4 channel switches: A, B, C and D
  • Chromatic tuner display
  • Volume/wah pedal is burly, full-sized and features plenty of grip
  • Bright LEDs show active channel, tap tempo and volume or wah
  • Self-powered via included locking RJ-45 cable

Complete, hands-free control of a range of on-board amplifier effects.

    I will start by saying over the past few years I have been really starting to become a fan boy of Line 6 products. I purchased a 75 watt Jam and the things that amp can do is utterly amazing! Recently I wanted to be able to easily create loops and dubs with my Spider jam so I purchased the Express. It is durable, heavy, and works well. The small screen reads easily to let you know what tone bank you are in. But if you are wanting to expand for looping and dubs I highly recommend the shortboard. The express does allow you to use the looping functions on the jam but you have to switch the mode on the amp for this to happen. That in turn takes away the ability to bank through differnet effects. So if you really want to do both get the shortboard or if you have the budget get the shortboard. That being said this footswitch does everything it claims it can do very well!

    Doesn't work with the POD Pro

    Though the product description says it works with amps and Pods, it won't work with the Pod Pro.

      Just recently purchased this for my line 6 spider iv half stack. Makes a world of difference. I love so many different presets on my amp i really needed that to fuction alot of my differwnt distortions i use from, slipknot, killswitch, and so on. Plus to add a wah to the set well worth the money. As well opens a whole lot more with the programs u can use to tweak ur sounds to the parameters of the wah. Simple way to put it, if u have a spider iv series this is a must have.

              This is a must have if your amp can use it. In addition to channel selection and access to the tuner you get volume and whaw control. Very compact but not too small. 5 Stars for the price/value. Enjoy.

              Just What I Needed.

              Comments about Line 6 FBV Express MKII Guitar Footswitch:

              Easy to use, the choice of four different channels, volume pedal. Simplistic and highly effective. Perfect if you like your head's presets.
              This is exactly what I needed. If you love your Line 6's presets, then buy this pedal. Totally worth the money. I love it. It's just what I needed for the band.

              Great value.
              Quick access to programs, volume controll and tuner. Very good quality with reguards to construction and look. Big enough to see, and yet small enough to pack. Work's great with my Fender Jazz bass and Line 6 Low Down bass rig, which is a value in itself. Will be loyal to thier prouducts if they keep up with thier quality and reputation.

              Comments about Line 6 FBV Express MKII Guitar Footswitch:

              I actually do not own this, but I have used it before. I was planning on buying this, but my uncle bought me a Line 6 Shortboard MKII. Which I think is a better deal. As far as the Express goes, it's light, portable, easy to use, lots a features. But If I were you I would save up to get the Shortboard (unless you use Spider 15 & 30 cause it's incompatible) which gives you some more features like a full LCD screen, easy access to quick loop, change the effects bank, access amp boost, and turn on the effect knobs while playing, etc.To sum it up, the Line 6 Express MKII is an awesome little footswitch for budget performers, inactive musicians, etc. But It won't completely unleash your Line 6 amp's potential, if you want to completely bring out Line 6's awesomeness get the Line 6 Shortboard MKII
