Firmware Updates
: If you have an FBV Mk II series foot controller, you can update
your Spider Valve Mk II’s firmware via USB and RJ45 connector when connected to your
computer, should new versions of Flash Memory be released. You can also update using
the MIDI connections on the Spider Valve MkII rear panel. Be sure to check the Line 6
website for the latest info on firmware updates and instructions for updating your Spider
Valve MkII. You can also download the
FBV Mk II Advanced Guide
, which provides
more details on the new FBV Mk II series foot controllers.
We’ve also added new switch functionality to the FBV Express MkII, as described below:
• To enter Tuner Mode, press and hold the currently lit Channel switch
• Press and hold either the A+B or C+D switches to enter Looper Control Mode; the
lit Channel switch will now control the Loop, like the front panel Tap switch
• To exit Looper Control Mode, press the A+B or C+D switches again
• You can exit Looper Control Mode while your loop is playing, change your preset
by pressing any Channel switch, then enter Looper Control Mode again at any time
FBV Shortboard MkII
: The new FBV Shortboard Mk II features an extra switch labeled
Function 2. This switch toggles Quick Loop on or off, and has the same functionality
as the Quick Loop switch on the front panel of your Spider Valve MkII. It makes it easy
to enter and exit Looper Control Mode from the FBV. The Function 1 switch turns the
Boost on and off; it’s state is saved with every preset.
