This is a gigging essential if you have a Spider II, III, and IV; Vetta II; PODxt or X3; or Bass PODxt, and more! The FBV Express MkII is a compact foot controller that allows you to instantly recall an entire rig via four gig-ready footswitches built into a road-ready steel enclosure. The FBV Express comes complete with an integrated pedal that's selectable for volume or wah-wah, four channel switches for choosing processor routing, a tap tempo function for effects, and even an onboard chromatic tuner for quick and accurate tuning. The FBV Express MkII is a necessary add-on for you Line 6 rig!





FBV Express MkII delivers out-of-the box, plug-n-play connectivity. Stomp the four steel footswitches to quickly store and select channel presets, synchronize your time-based effects with Tap Tempo, activate the chromatic tuner, and more. When paired with Spider IV guitar amplifiers, the footswitches can activate many on-board amp effects including Quick Loop, Pitch Glide and Smart Harmony. The 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). The bright and easy-to-read LCD shows tap tempo, active channel and the chromatic tuner (when activated).





Take full advantage of FBV Express MkII with the free and downloadable FBV Control software. The application shows you a graphical representation of your FBV Express MkII and lets you fully customize the footswitch and pedal functions. Assign the footswitches and pedal to perform MIDI CCs, bank changes, program changes and even transport commands to drive many popular audio applications including Pro Tools, Propellerhead Reason 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 Express MkII via USB.
