Product Description

A multi-function, swiss army knife of a guitar effects unit is all yours for a lot less than £100! Get instant access to an entire rig set-up at the tap of your toe! Don't be anchored to the back of your stage fiddling with your amp settings or effects set-up, stand loud and proud at the front and unlock true versatility.

You're spoilt with an array of guitar tones and effects, which give you the tools to craft your signature sound, while developing your playing styles whether you're on stage or rehearsing in your bedroom.

Like with any reliable, road-worthy equipment, the Line 6 FBV Express MkII USB Guitar Effects Footswitch is super-tough and will stand up to the tests of regular gigging. Featuring 4 heavy-duty footswitches, this seriously resilient unit can take a kicking, literally! Simply toggle through multiple effects styles, a responsive tap tempo and a chromatic tuner via the footswitches and also rock a volume/wah pedal with ease with the full-size envelope pedal on the right! A swiss army knife of effects is yours and all within a unit no bigger than your old school lunch box. Plus at this price, you'll find it hard to look else where for anything like this in its league!

What Line 6 say about the Line 6 FBV Express MkII USB Foot switch:


Tough enough for arena stages yet small enough to fit in your backpack, FBV Express™ MkII delivers a crucial collection of hands-free functionality that will keep you at the foot of the stage instead of tied to the front of your Line 6 amp or POD®.

FOUR ON THE FLOOR - 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 most Spider® IV and Spider Valve™ MkII guitar amplifiers, the footswitches also give you total control of Quick Loop, the amps' built-in 14-second sound-on-sound looper.

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).

Key Features:

  • Hands-free channel switching and more for most Line 6 amps and POD processors
  • 4 channel switches: A, B, C and D
  • Full-sized volume/wah pedal features plenty of grip
  • Chromatic tuner display
  • Bright LEDs show active channel, tap tempo and volume/wah
  • FBV Control software allows for easy and unlimited mapping of FBV controls via USB (Mac®/PC)
  • Durable footswitches and chassis
  • Self-powered via included locking RJ-45 cable
  • USB jack and RJ-45 jack

FBV CONTROL SOFTWARE - 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 customize the midi commands you send via USB.

Assign the footswitches and pedal to perform MIDI CCs, bank changes, program changes and even transport commands to drive many popular audio applications including ProTools®, 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.

UPDATES AND UPGRADES - USB connectivity enables FBV Express MkII to receive software and firmware updates.

While this product is intended for use with other Line6 equipment, it can also control any music software (that has midi input) via its USB midi interface. This includes Guitar Rig 5, and DAWs such as Reaper or Cakewalk. In this mode the 4 switches can be programmed to be single-action, momentary or toggle (with appropriate lights), and each can output any midi command that you wish. The volume pedal moves smoothly, and switches to a Wah pedal by stepping on the top end of it. Note that there is no Midi-out interface, just USB-midi and the Line6 cable. The USB cable is not supplied, but any USB printer cable can be used. The unit is big enough to use, but doesn't take up too much floor space. While some parts are plastic, the main body is metal and it seems to be well made and robust. The controlling software is simple and appears to be free of bugs. I chose this instead of the Behringer FCB1010 because it takes up much less space. I do not regret that decision. Overall, this is an excellent addition to a home project studio, even one that does not use other Line6 products.

Needed a midi foot controller to run Ableton Live while my hands are full of guitar. This fits the bill. Gave it it's first run out at church on Sunday. Seemless foot-controlled song changes are now a thing. Took me a little while to find the software I needed to programme the midi messages correctly but there's plenty of guidance on YouTube.

Despite some reservations from reading other reviews, the footswitch connected seamlessly with my Line 6 Amplify 75 and within minutes was controlling the amp just as I expected - an excellent product
