From Our Research Team:

The next generation of FBV controllers!

The Line 6 FBV Shortboard MkII is like having a crew of roadies ready to wheel out an entirely new collection of gear and hook it all up — in time for your next note. The FBV Shortboard's backlit display that shows where you are, and rugged steel stomp switches and pedal to give you complete control of where you're going. FBV Shortboard MkII isn't your average foot controller. A full-on remote control that keeps you untethered to your Line 6 amp or POD — that's the FBV Shortboard MkII.

Line 6 FBV Shortboard MkII Foot Controller at a Glance:
  • Ready to go right out of the box
  • FBV Control Software

Ready to go right out of the box
FBV Shortboard MkII delivers out-of-the box, plug-n-play connectivity. Stomp the 13 steel footswitches to quickly scroll and select channel presets, synchronize your time-based effects with Tap Tempo, activate effects, the chromatic tuner, and more. When paired with Spider IV guitar amplifiers, the footswitches can activate many onboard amp effects including Quick Loop, Pitch Glide, and Smart Harmony, and provide up to 128 user-created presets. The burly, full-sized volume/wah pedal feels solid under your foot and features plenty of grip. Clicking the toe-switch toggles between volume and wah control (with an illuminated LED to match). Oversized and backlit, the LCD is big, bright and easy to read. It displays the active preset name and number, and the chromatic tuner (when activated).

FBV Control Software
Take full advantage of FBV Shortboard MkII with free, downloadable FBV Control software. The application shows you a graphical representation of your FBV Shortboard MkII and lets you fully customize the footswitch and pedal functions.
Assign each FBV control a MIDI CC, a bank change, a program change or even transport commands to drive many popular audio applications including Pro Tools, Propellerhead Reason and Record, and more! Create and save endless variations — a few for gigs, a few for the studio — and easily add them to your FBV Shortboard MkII via USB.

What Makes a Product a "Demo"?
At Sweetwater, "Demo" usually means one of the following:
  • It might have spent a little time in our display room.

  • It could have been tried out for a few days.
We treat demo models exactly as we treat new gear. You get a full manufacturer's warranty, as well as Sweetwater's commitment to customer satisfaction. Other than it having been in someone's hands or hanging on a rack for a brief period of time, it's as good as new - at a great bargain!

A Must Have

by Duncan from Mobile, AL USA

Music Background: Pro Musician/Songwriter
If you own a Line 6 amp and perform live this control board is a must have. Complete control of your amplifier at your feet.
From volume, presets, effects and an awesome expression pedal.

Added flexibility for the HD bean

by Charles Obscure from Sunny Southern Wisconsin

Music Background: Basement, backyard and garage band musician
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 ... read more [+]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. close [-]

Perfect combination with LowDown LD 300

Music Background: Amateur in a coverband
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 !

My experience was outstanding! I feel like I'm back in the 1950's when customer service was worth its weight in gold! I love the candy and personal phone call to acknowledge my order. You deliver the goods with superior efficiency, expediency and true concern for the customer.
