Line 6 FBV2 2 Button Foot Switch


100% Recommended5

I have a Line 6 Spider III 120W 2x10 amp (which I love). For changes between presets during songs I needed some sort of footswitch. The options are this ($29) a FBV Express ($99) a FBV Shortboard ($269) or a FBV Longboard (I think it's $349 or something). The disadvantages of this one are:

(a) it only switches between 4 presets at a time rather than 36 and

(b) there are only two buttons so getting from preset 1A to 1C requires two clicks.

However this is not a problem if you set your presets in order of how they appear in a song and make sure that each song has 4 or less presets. I have never played a song in which this was an issue.

The advantages are of course low price AND having a compact reasonable pedal rather than an unwieldy giant that you don't need. In addition this thing is sturdy and I don't think it will ever break down.

So if I had to do it again I definitely would. I like this amp 100% better now that I can change between presets during songs. If I didn't have access to some sort of footswitch that could do this I'd sell the amp. That's how important this little thing is. More detail ...
