No longer available at zZounds
This foot controller can do it all: Adjust your Line 6 amp, toggle settings on your POD, and send MIDI commands over USB with the free FBV Control software.

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).

i love this because of the spider 4 amp it makes no sense to have one of this amps if you dont have this board it completely opens up everything on the amp and is completely progamable to your desires you can litterally re do all the presets on the amp from the board it rocks
Sound
great features for controlling your line 6 spider amp. i have the spiderIV and this board allows me to change between settings quickly. i can also acces the guitarist presets and reassign them to user patches wich allows me to completely edit those presets the way that i like...i always want to tweak something. the wah pedal is not great i still use my regular wah sometimes it just depends on the song. great for live shows very durable and reasonably priced a must have if you have a spider amp
Ease of Use
very simple to use very plug n play oriented
Quality
well made nice packaging from the factory QA is great no missing pieces everything worked great straight out of the box
Value
worth the money
