FBV Class Foot Controllers
If you find that your Amp I – II switcher pedal is just not enough, have no fear—the FBV is here! Using an FBV series foot controller gives you Wah and Volume pedal
control plus the ability to name, store and recall 36 Duoverb Channel Memories.1 4 •
The FBV series of foot controllers includes the original FBV—with its extensive effects controls for the Line 6 Vetta amps—and the more-compact FBV Shortboard, which includes all the controls needed for the Duoverb. The Shortboard comes with a sticker that relabels some of the controls that are used for non-Duoverb functions on other Line 6 products. We’ll assume you’ve got that in place as we describe the Shortboard’s functions here.
Note that the Line 6 Floor Board and FB4 foot controllers will not work with Duoverb.
Connecting an FBV
Your FBV comes with an included RJ-45 cable. Connect this cable between the rear panel of the Duoverb and the rear panel of the FBV. The cable supplies power as well as communication, so there’s no separate power supply required for the pedal.
If you ever need a replacement cable, look for a Category 5, 10 Base-T or RJ-45 cable with male connectors on both ends.
•“Category 5” refers to a 1 to 5 grading system for cable quality, with 5 being the highest quality. Get the good one.
•“10 Base-T” is a kind of computer network that uses these same cables.
•“RJ-45” is what you call the connectors on the ends of the cable.
If you’re unsure if you’ve got the right thing, note that RJ-45 connectors basically look like a wide version of standard US telephone line connectors, with eight contacts instead of four.
