Review: Exactly as expected. Brilliant - UPDATE: I've hooked it to my MacBook via USB and used it as a controller in GarageBand. I used line 6 software to map to volume control and sustain for my software instruments. I literally use this pedal every day still, just not guitar (neck injury so I'm off guitar for a while) but with piano in GarageBand. So glad I picked this up, if you're looking at this pedal just get it and thank me later. I sincerely love this pedal. Original review: Really great to be able to switch channels in a bank and manipulate the wah and volume. It came with the lan cable needed and the pedal itself is power over Ethernet. No lag noticeable at all. Really great controller out of the box. I may use it down the road for midi but for now it's perfect for jamming. It's exactly what I needed for my setup. I highly recommend this little pedal. Very light as well, not like most heavy effects controllers. Good solid construction. Review: Line 6 FBV Express MkII Foot Controller - The Line 6 FBV Express MkII Foot Controller works great with my Line 6 Spider amp. I never fully utilized all of the features of the amplifier until I got the foot controller. Having to reach down and change settings on the amp by hand is awkward and interrupts the music. The foot controlled access to four pre-sets, the tuner, and volume is fantastic. I really like the wah pedal as well. The only difficulty I had was updating the firmware (Flash Memory). The calibration procedure suggested in the manual wasn't available until the firmware was updated. When I plugged the foot controller into my computer (Windows 7 64-bit OS) to update the firmware, Windows 7 wouldn't install the necessary USB driver automatically and there was no way to manually install a driver. I'm not sure if this is a Windows 7 compatibility problem or if there's something unusual about my particular computer. I got around the USB driver problem by using XP mode (available in Windows 7 Professional). In XP mode the USB driver installed automatically and the Line 6 Monkey update utility worked as advertized. Once the newer firmware was installed the calibration procedure went smoothly. Honestly, the FBV MKII foot controller seemed to work well right out of the box without calibration and I'm not sure if updating the firmware and calibrating it was absolutely necessary. Since getting the FBV Express MkII I can't imagine playing without it. ## Features - Hands-free channel switching and more for your Line 6 amp and POD, 4 channel switches: A, B, C and D - Footswitches and chassis are constructed of reliable steel.Volume/wah pedal is burly, full-sized and features plenty of grip - Bright LEDs show active channel, tap tempo and volume or wah,Chromatic tuner display - USB jack, RJ-45 jack, Self-powered via included locking RJ-45 cable - TROUBLESHOOTING:Please refer pg 79 from the user manual attached below for troubleshooting support. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002GYWBKU | | Amperage | 6 Amps | | Audio Output Effects | Volume | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,775 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #52 in Guitar Amplifier Footswitches & Controllers | | Brand | Line 6 | | Brand Name | Line 6 | | Connector Type | USB, RJ-45 | | Controls Type | Physical | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 493 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00614252008006 | | Hand Orientation | Left | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Included Components | Locking RJ-45 cable, USB cable, Power adapter (inferred) | | Item Dimensions | 10 x 13 x 4.5 inches | | Item Type Name | Electric Guitar Amplifier Footswitch | | Item Weight | 0.1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Line 6 | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBV EXPRESS MKII | | Model Name | FBV Express MkII | | Model Number | FBV Express MKII | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Set Name | Default Set | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | Compact | | UPC | 614252010658 614252008006 962327361717 610563662722 660845664487 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 9 Volts | | Warranty Description | 1-year. | ## Product Details - **Amperage:** 6 Amps - **Brand:** Line 6 - **Item Weight:** 0.1 Kilograms - **Style:** Compact - **Voltage:** 9 Volts ## Images ![Line 6 FBV Express MkII 4-button Foot Controller, black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ke3w8xpqL.jpg) ![Line 6 FBV Express MkII 4-button Foot Controller, black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61B6PEejF4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly as expected.

I used to have a Peavey Transfex 212 with a 10 switch pedal. This was worth its weight in gold playing live. Going from clean to crunch, psychedelic to acoustic, crazy to mild, gives you the ability to change fx at the speed of sound. Covering some songs requires it, writing your own music makes it essential. With the FBV pedal you also get a built in link to the spider 4's tuner in a better way than the amps own display. Its also the only way to connect the amp online to update it. A major design flaw line 6, but a damn good way to ensure you sell a boatload of pedals. With that said, you get 4 chan switches but no way to browse banks, so your stuck in 1 of 4 channels of bank "A" for example. You must go to the back of the stage, select a new bank "B" an then back to the pedal and select the fx you wanted to begin with. Tedious for live playing. I pick bank A, then program the four sounds I need for a few songs, then change banks between songs. Works ok. The other thing you cant miss about this pedal is the very average volume and wah pedal. The volume side is sooooooo sensitive, it goes from naught to blaring in one tiny tap. To get from vol to wah you must press an electronic "pressure" pad at the top of the pedal that requires several attempts in most cases to activate. Once you get past the popping and clicking of the repeated stomps and get to the wah side, it is a very non natural electronic sound. When comparing to a baby wah or cry baby, you get none of the tube like sound that you expect or desire. I did find that using a wah sounding effect while using the pedal helps a ton. On the plus side, and there are a few. this thing is a Sherman tank. Solid build quality can handle just about anything the stage can throw at it, including the stage. I read a story of the entire forward light truss falling on the guitar setup area, destroying mic stands all the bonus pedals, a les paul, a monitor speaker, and floor lights and lasers. The line six fbv pedal had one scratch and a torn rubber wah cover. Rock solid. Made with what every rock pedal should be, heavy metal. The sound switching, although limited to one bank at a time is clean and seamless. The lighting on the pedal, all l.e.d.'s, are very bright even in the brightest daylight and stage lighting. The tuners lights fade from dim to bright as your tuning reaches desired frequency. Very easy to read. The main bonus of the fbv pedal is the cat 5/6 cable connection to the net, with it you can not only update the firmware of the spider amps, you can download the home made effects of other users via the line 6 website. This is for me the goldmine. We have all been amazed by the quality of how close line 6's artist inspired tones sound. These take that a full light year closer to reality, sounding almost perfect in some cases and dead on in others. Inspiration will take you for a ride with some of these tones that I dare say you would not have found otherwise. My advice is as follows; if you can only afford the 100 bones on a pedal buy it. It's worth it for the ability to switch channels, the make shift wah, and the icing on the cake is the download ability for updates and user made tones. Now if you have 200 bones and a loving spouse, mother or landlord pickup the Line 6 FBV Shortboard MkII Foot Controller here http://www.amazon.com/Line-FBV-Shortboard-MkII-Controller/dp/B002GYWBKK/ref=pd_cp_MI_2 and take total floor control of your Line 6 amp and POD foot switches for preset bank select, effect select, tuner, tap tempo, and a full-sized volume/wah pedal with plenty of grip, Over sized and bright LCD displays chromatic presets and tuner with a USB jack and an RJ-45 jack as well. thats the thick and thin of it... hope it helps. Like an old guitarist told me, better play everyday or throw it away, it starts over at the 12th fret, and learn your scales. ## Frequently Bought Together - Line 6 FBV Express MkII 4-button Foot Controller - Line 6 Spider V 30 MKII - Amazon Basics Adjustable Folding Guitar Stand, A-shape, Fully Assembled - For School Music Program, Concerts & Multiple Users, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/1952339-line-6-fbv-express-mkii-4-button-foot-controller-black](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/1952339-line-6-fbv-express-mkii-4-button-foot-controller-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
