    An indispensable to control a POD 2.0 add-on FBV

    For me the good stuff. it completely opened the possibility of manipulation of pod, and the two together had a good life in my set. Given the cheap prices OCCAZ, should not be deprived!

    I have this pedal for a week, I bought it used with the cover € 220.

    I use a Spider II.C Stack is an indispensable complement to the amp, it can manage it like a multi effect.

    It also contains an expression pedal that acts wha-wha.Celle it sounds great and fits based on the simulations used.

    I do not regret at all achat.C this is certainly a little expensive but the build quality and the opportunities it provides are worth the peine.Je got rid of all my pedals.

    A must for anyone wishing to take full advantage of his pod, Vetta or spider.

    If you are interested, save rather than invest in four or FBV FBV Express, they will be less convenient and not the views of cheaper services.

    Trs good pedal, I'll just expose the negatives.
    No way to disable the pedal, it will affect either the volume or to the wahwah ... Personal I use it for a controller HD147 head and vst midi and therefore the expression is pedalle innutilisable by noon, so for a large black dot, the rest is top.

    I use this pedal for about a year, and I find it perfect. 36 Bank personal presets (9 * 4), wah, volume and other management functions. Compatible with the big Line 6 (Spider, Flextone, Vetta, Pod) The only flaw is the cable for me, quite hard to find (cable Eternet) so not much has repprocher.

    The price is certainly a little high for a pedal, but you will not be disappointed with the shortboard, € 320 for a real tool. It has become indispensable to me. It is a quality safe and worth the price, even when we become aware of all its features.

    Without hesitation, I do not regret that choice and I highly recommend this shortboard.

    I use it for one month, it is vraimnet nice.
    This pedal is strong (for its weight against it weighs) the switches are solid and good spacing from each other.
    Editing sounds is easy (although a bit long because you have to enter names with the cursor), and can save totu (if you want the effect loop of the interlocking sound, even with the modulation , delay, reverb and the compressuer)
    The wah is a bit hard but not trigger the need to disengage, simply reconsolidated on the position of sound and recalibrate it (so if the wah was not registered she returns to volume). By no way to disable against the pedal is either volume or wah.

    Used for 2 months on a BassPodXT.

    (+):

    - Construction, matrial, solid weight, rigidity gums, switches ... : A not move or during the game, nor in time.
    - It adds more functionality to Pod INTERESTED:
    ..... rankings bank / channel / effects available in a tournepied
    ..... wah / volume (and elsewhere in real-time control of all effects pedals by: it is assignable to any paramtre any effect if pre-configures the pod computer via USB )

    (-):

    - It is only used on the Line6 stuff
    - It's big and there will be ending for space on scne if one adds other effects! : B
    - No switch for eq while there are two switches to read all the effects (for a delay and reverb for a while one of these effects can be activated once): feedback, two switches that turn on and s'teignent whole, is not nothing - incomprhensible ... ??
    - Switch the pedals between the two modes a little firm, it is the ranon the solid a little hard to activate when you play sitting down, no problem however is that ds standing
    - It GIGA-MEGA-SUPER-HYPER-TOO EXPENSIVE-nine (and / but, given the quality of the thing, both go in the opportunity, there's no reason).

    Ahem ... Moreover, as a, by the way, I sold mine because I never use my pod, so contact me if your INTERESTED! ;)

    Well, here APRS jou have almost a year on the Line6 Spider II (212 and 210) I finally made ​​the purchase of pdaleir FBV Shortboard. And indeed, nothing to do with the FBV2 provided SERIES ... It is a wonder, a jewel vritable this gear. It's not complicated I think without this pdalier, you shoot only 20% of the capabilities of your amp (because when you achte this style of amp - modlisation - c ' is to have multiple sounds and effects, all in one - light - combo).

    Bought used with the cover 300.

    Bought used with the cover 300.

    Top: Solid machine, number of possible standards, clear display, fast channel changes and the effects of banks, cover grazed, well made ​​and have storage space on the ct s, pretty face of pdalier, printing solidity worthy of a Panzer, you can go.

    Cons: the price (+ / - 380 for and 75 pdalier the cover, almost the price of the amp!), Weight (although I was prfre plastic) Some factory sounds that are frankly infmes (but hey, you make the right rglages).

    So, without hsitation and despite a price rbarbatif, I would do this choice with his eyes closed ...

    Edit: Notice DPOS is especially true since I played (a few months) on a Flextone III and a Spider;)

    Used on a long FlextoneIII Plus, the Shortboard is an excellent pdalier.
    And as it is solid (that say all collgues below) it is also stiff trs: hard switches, wah / volume that makes Resistors ...

    So yes it is big, heavy and not too ugly, but the screen is too down in the chassis and to be inclined or MRIT pls large, or both.

    Another ngatif: the switches UP / DOWN serving also rename a preset. I know that is a more easily with Line6 Edit Midi, but when we play without the PC connected we dpatouille as can be. And those damn switches that need to go free as many times as ncessaire (Z from A) or left foot on it until ... If at least they taient silent switches damn!

    Apart from these finicky Whereas, the FBV is an excellent Shorboard pdalier.
    Its price? bah it must be taken in the overall budget of the amp and the pros and cons. I love my Flextone Shortboard and is very practical ... I'm with.

    This bracket is essential for any user line6 amp!

It connects via an RJ45 cable included, easy! on the other hand I suspect to be a bit fragile because the tip is plastic, and without locking. I use it since October 2009, and I needed to move from one preset to another, activating an effect, tune the guitar, turn on the boost, adjust volume and tap tempo, etc. ... I would do this choice without hesitation. I like his strength, functionality and usability. The price / quality ratio is very good as its price has indeed greatly decreased since the arrival of MKII (before it was costing more than 300 €, I got it for a little less than 150 € new).

    Edit: still a little flat after long use (several months), the pedal moves in every direction and squeaks a bit! I had to remove the crank to tighten the screws on the pedal and put a little grease. Nothing complicated, but I hope not to have to redo it too often! Apart from that, it still works as well!

    Connectors very unreliable

    For me working on a busy rehearsal studio, where musicians are just nags and not necessarily very careful, the major weakness of this pedal is the connection used: ethernet plastic is neither solid nor serious or practical to repair. As well as to the ether, they could opt for an XLR connector with a locking and a true metal band around. It has two and both parties are already being repaired 3 times each for the same problem: connector broke, torn cable, disconnection of a son in the connector ... Brief though it was redone, we would look for something more reliable, stronger, more brief pro. For comparison was the Marshall, Fender and Peavey and is much stronger (obviously it's less flashy…
