Line 6 FBV Express MkII 4-button Foot Controller Review

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.
