The burly, full-sized pedal feels solid under your foot and features plenty of speed, tone, and control.

Line 6 FBV Shortboard MKII Footswitch isn't your average foot controller. It's a full-on remote control that keeps you at the foot of the stage instead of tied to the front of your Line 6 amp or POD processor. It offers all the classic advantages you expect from a Line 6 foot controller, including rock-solid channel switches, a rugged wah/volume pedal and an oversized backlit display, but it's also full of surprises.

The steel footswitches give you total control over your tone. Dedicated footswitches let you change, scroll and select presets with uncompromised speed, add or remove effects in an instant, synchronize all your time-based effects with Tap Tempo, and more.

Load up to 64 presets in the 4 banks. Adding individual or simultaneous effects on top of each preset allows for on-the-fly colorization and customization of your tones. An added bonus: the well-spaced guitar footswitches are conveniently laid out so that you're not stepping on two at once (unless you want to).

Click the toe to volley back and forth between volume and wah-wah control. (Adding an expression pedal provides dedicated volume control.) Oversized and backlit, the LCD is big, bright and easy to read. It shows you everything you need to know including preset name chromatic tuner display.

Line 6 FBV Shortboard MKII is compatible with and connects to your Line 6 amp or POD processors via the included locking RJ-45 cable. The FBV footswitch also features a USB jack that can be used for upgrading the firmware of Spider IV and Spider Valve MKII amplifiers.

Perfectly paired with Spider IV and Spider Valve MKII amplifiers, this FBV Shortboard footswitch provides complete, handsfree control of the looper, pitch-shifter and other on-board effects.

• Total floor control of your Line 6 amp and POD

Excellent Revision To The ShortBoard

Posted by jws1982 from Nashville, TN on Sep 5, 2009

I was hoping that Line 6 wouldn't reduce the quality of the Shortboard with this revision (e.g. putting a plastic bottom on in like the Pod X3 Live). I'm happy to say that this pedal is just as rugged as the previous version. The switches, while receiving a bad stigma from the X3 Live, are very solid on this unit. They're attached to the unit via a steel fastener underneath. The LED's are easy to see, and spacing between switches is adequate. The LCD display, while now more smoothly integrated into the unit, is actually a bit smaller. After using the previous model, you may have to look at the screen a bit longer to see your current patch. Contrast is still good. The new amber backlight works well and matches the current amplifiers. The pedal may be the biggest physical improvement. While it looks oversized in the picture, it's about the same size as the previous Shortboard. Overall, the new shortboard is slightly smaller than the previous model, which makes the pedal look larger. The pedal has great grip and very fluid motion. It appears to be self-calibrating as well. USB connectivity for midi control and updates is a very welcome addition. Both features have worked great for me so far. This new pedal also fits fine in the current Shoartboard case/bag. Overall, an excellent update. A must-have for a Line 6 amp owner.
