Manufacturer's Description for Line 6 FBV Shortboard MKII Controller Pedal

The Line 6 FBV Shortboard MkII isn't your regular old foot controller. It's a total remote control that allows you to control countless parameters on your Line 6 amp or POD(R), so you can keep your hands where they belong - on the guitar.

Lucky 13

FBV Shortboard MkII offers out-of-the box, plug-n-play connectivity. Hit any of the FBV Shortboard MkII's 13 steel footswitches to quickly scroll through and select channel presets, synch up your time-based effects with Tap Tempo, turn on effects, the chromatic tuner, and much more.

When paired with Spider(R) IV guitar amplifiers, the Line 6 FBV Shortboard MkII can activate many on-board amp effects including Quick Loop, Pitch Glide and Smart Harmony, and provide up to 128 user-created presets.

The FBV Shortboard MkII's 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 (with an illuminated LED to match).

Oversized and backlit, the LCD on the Line 6 FBV Shortboard MkII is big, bright and easy to read. It displays the active preset name and number, and the chromatic tuner (when activated).

Features

- Total hands-free control of most Line 6 amps and POD processors
- 13 steel channel switches for preset bank select, bank scroll, effect select, tuner, tap tempo & more
- Burly, full-sized volume/wah pedal with plenty of grip

FBV Control Software

Take full advantage of FBV Shortboard MkII with the free and downloadable FBV Control software. The application shows you a graphical representation of your FBV Shortboard MkII and lets you fully customize the footswitch and pedal functions.

Assign each FBV control a MIDI CC, a bank change, a program change or even transport commands to drive many popular audio applications including ProTools(R), Propellerhead Reason(R) and Record, and more!

Create and save endless variations - a few for gigs, a few for the studio - and easily add them to your FBV Shortboard MkII via USB.

Updating and Upgrading

USB connectivity enables the Line 6 FBV Shortboard MkII to receive software and firmware updates.

Express Yourself

4 out of 5 (16 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"Line 6 is what the future is bringing."
Sound: I love the sound of my shortboard. It has a great deal of sound options but, the coolest feature is the fact that I can go to the Line 6 website and download sound patches. Very cool! Feature: The features on the shortboard are endless. Every effect you could imagine is there and all of them are very useful. Some of the presets are not as usable as others but most of them are. Ease of Use: Using the short board takes some time. I have one complaint about the manual. There isn't one. You have to go to the website to find it and it can be confusing. It is worth the effort to learn how to navagate the site. In fact, navigating the site in order to find the material you need to operate the equipment is the hardest part. The presets are easy to find and ajust and I would think that most guitar plaryes would find all the tones they need by tweeking the presets. Quality: Line ^ equipment is built like a tank. I never worry about the equipment being damaged in normal use. It is very solid and it looks cool. Value: Most possible bang for your buck, hands down. Manufacturer Support: I haven't tried that yet. The Wow Factor: NA Overall: I choose this because I cannot afford to but all the equipment this set-up has to offer. The amp modeling is so close, it's hard to tell the difference. The spider 4 sound and responds like a tube amp. Even if I could afford to buy all the equipment this set up covers, I wouldn't want to haul it around, buy cases for it or find a place to store it. I am hooked on Line 6 and probably will be for life. The first product I bought was the Line 6 flextone. and it served me well for years.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great pedal board."
Sound: Sound quality is great. At first I was disappointed because every time I would switch sounds or from bank to bank I would hear a popping sound coming from my amp. Did some research and found more people are having the same problem. However I have played more and more with the different sounds and I have not heard this happen anymore. Feature: Useful features are that I can control everything on my amp directly from the board. Ease of Use: There is somewhat of a learning curve. You can plug it in to ur computer via USB printer cable and mess with the settings. At first I really did t know what I was looking at or what everything meant. Messing with sounds and different banks I can now navigate easily through the screen. Quality: Very solid doesn't feel cheap at all. Very well made. Value: Zzsounds priced this board as everyone else does but like the fact that I can pay in 4 installments. Manufacturer Support: Gave it a 5 since I have not dealt with support so I have to be even. The Wow Factor: Ease of controlling the line 6 amp. Overall: I expect to use this board for as long as I own my line 6 spider valve 212.
