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.

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.

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 Manufacturer Support: havent used support no problems Overall: 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: This product has no sound of its own. It merely controls the patches and FX in the Line6 amp. Which are pretty damn good. Ease of Use: Everything is right where it should be. Quality: Very solid construction, however; For some reason the volume pedal freaks out when in direct sunlight. Maybe it uses an optical device to vary voltage. Also 3 or 4 times in 3 years I have had to open it up and reset all the ribbon connectors because the vibration of travel had loosened them. The next time I will use some silocone to stick them where they belong. Other than these two issues the construction quality is solid. Manufacturer Support: Line6 has a great website with answers to any question you might have. Overall: Right now I am searching for an all-in-one FX board that will do what the Line6 setup does, only through any amp I might get on a fly date. So far I have not found that product.

Sound: N/A Feature: It has switches for controlling the patch banks, channels and you can use it in stomp box mode for more flexibility in the sounds. You also have switch for Tap Tempo (never have used) but if you hold it down you can access the tuner. The tuning shows up on the footswitch screen which is a nice touch. Ease of Use: Very easy to use. I haven't tried doing any MIDI programming with it yet. No need at this point. It does what I want and need it to out of the box. Quality: This is a beast. Made of solid unobtainium or something. All metal chassis and switches. Weighs right at 10 pounds. Seriously. You might be able to break it drop it off a truck and running over it. Durability is not a concern I have with this. Value: A bit pricey for what it is. Around $200 for the unit. The main reason I got it was so that I could connect my amp to my computer. That way I can edit patches and update the firmware. There is no option to do this without a MKII footswitch. Manufacturer Support: Never used the phone support. Online support is great. Plenty of manuals and download stuff. The Wow Factor: No sex appeal here. Just a footswitch controller. Overall: For what it is and what it does I'm pleased with it. If it were crushed by a monster truck I would most likely replace it. If you have a Spider IV amp you really need this. I couldn't imagine standing in front of the amp and trying to get to my patches with the Nintendo controls. Plus the added benefit of using your computer to edit/create patches. This alone makes it almost indispensable.

Overall: The MKII Controller is easy to use with the Spider IV, it makes the use of the effects so much easier and better. It is nice to have single effects dialed in somewhat like a pedal board. The volume/wah pedal works great. I highly recommend anyone who needs a foot controller for their line 6 to get this. With 4 monthly payments here at zZounds it is a no brainer!

Sound: I have this with an Spyder VAlve HD100 MKII head. Works fantastic for indoor gigs. Feature: n/a Ease of Use: THe FBV programmable software is quite nice and lets you set up your effects on various switches. Quality: Has a serious design flaw that makes Volume pedal unusable in the sun. You cannot take to a sunny gig and expect it to function as a working pedal. Switches however still function fine. Value: The sensitivity to the sun is a major design flaw. Manufacturer Support: Unable to repair it as it's considered "normal" for it to be so sun sensitive The Wow Factor: It is a good looking board and does work well for indoors gigs Overall: Searching for something now and only had it for 4 months. Better off with FBV Express
