Recording King Guitars: Line 6 FBV2 2 Button Foot Switch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Don't feel like carrying around a full-sized foot controller? Now you don't have to! The FBV2� lets you scroll through the first bank of four presets and is small and light enough to fit in your gig bag. With its ultra-reliable switches and aluminum case, the FBV2 can take all the abuse you can throw at it.
