Added flexibility for the HD bean

Not mentioned in the compatibility list is the Pod HD desktop "bean" model. This board is recommended in the Pod HD user's guide.
I use my HD live mounted on a mic stand or attached to the top of a powered monitor. Now I have the option of adding a wah pedal to my patches along with many other choices accessible with the footswitches.
This MkII model is an improvement over the older shortboard featuring hardier footswitches and rugged steel construction all around. The size of the display is a non-issue for me as I can look at the screen on the HD bean when I'm using them both.
I recommend getting the Line 6 FBV Shortboard/PODxt Bag with this as it fits perfectly.

Perfect combination with LowDown LD 300

I play in a coverband and created several variations on the Rock, Motown and Eden-models. Now I can choose the right one for any song we play. 36 presets in stead of 4. Perfect !

Great Pedalboard

The FBV Shortboard has great versatility with my Spider Valve Mk11. Best possible choice for any Line 6 product.

Nice Gear !!

It works perfectly with my Lowdown (LD 300)

Full recommended !!!

Line 6 FBV Shortboard MkII Is AWESOME!!!!!

I love the way that the pedal needs no electrical adapter just plug it in via the CAT5 cable (Included) and your off to the races. It's also laid out very well and gives me instant control. I am especially blown away at how rugged it is. This board is a Brick S@#T House. Solid as a rock. I love the controller as well.

Awesome !!

This is an awesome tool to have and very versatile. My only complaint is that it only works for Line 6 products.

Perfect match for my perfect amp!

I use the FBV Shortboard MKII with my SpiderValve MKII 2x12.

The integration is perfect! At first I had thought that I wished for it to have two expression pedals, but it's fine with just one (plus you can add one if you like). The coolest thing is that it serves as a midi controller for your computer. Line 6 is pretty reliable with their software so you can perform updates and program your amp and pedal board via usb.

Great Addition to Compatibale Line 6 amps

The Line 6 FBV Shortboard MkII is a great piece of equipment but cannot really be reviewed on its own without linkage to Line 6 amplifiers or other equipment that are fully compatibale with the FBV Shortboard. Accordingly, please read my review of the Line 6 Spider IV amp. The review of the Spider IV 150 discusses how well it works with the FBV Shortboard and vice versa. Together they are a rare complete guitar amplification package that contains hundreds of preset FX and sounds and lets the user edit those sounds into what is seemingly an infinite variety.

Sturdy and functional

I bought this to pair up with a Pod HD desktop bean. Based on recommendations from the Line 6 HD forums, this model conveniently opens up the functionality of the HD bean for live playing. LEDs are nice and bright, and I haven't had any issues with the readability of the on-board display.
The switches are well constructed and the pedal action is smooth and easy.
The case is steel, and seems fairly sturdy without being too heavy to tote around. Comes with a nice long cable (to plug into the unit to be controlled) that's coiled up tightly, so when you unroll it, it's easy to coil it right back up again.
Get's the job done and it looks pretty cool too.

A must have for Spider IV 75

This pedal board is a must have with a line 6
Spider 75 amp. The ability to plug in a laptop to
tweek and organize sound pathes is a lot better
then using the amp screen. Plus you get the wah/volumn
pedal and foot switch control of the looper.
