FBV3 with MKII amplifier

I purchase the FBV3 in order to both have on/off control over the individual effects available on the line 6 mkII Bogner amplifier as well as have the ability to select banks in additional to patches. It does this perfectly out of the box. However, I also downloaded the application to reassign the midi commands from the FBV3 to control other aspects of the mkII and couldn't match up the midi documentation for the mkII amplifier with that of the FBV3. Perhaps this is more a comment about the mkII documentation than it is about the FBV3 documentation but it also is very scant. For instance, I would like to assign an FVB3 switch light color to be associated with the different effects in the FBV3 which, I would think, is something anyone else with an FBV3 and spider amp would want to do. If possible, an example would be helpful. If not, then say it is not possible. Currently, all of the FBV3 lights are red for all switches. In summary, it works great and I recommended the FBV3 for use with an mkII amp and does exactly what I expected. I only rated it 4 stars because of the poor documentation.

The FBV could be awesome but lack of editing isn't good

I got this to mesh with my FH1500. If I were to do this again I would save the money and go for the Helix and use the FH1500 as the amp for FRFR. The more I mess with it the more I see the limitations.

    I needed to replace my previous FBV mk2 pedal. This is plug and play ready, easy to use and see, and functional. Adjustable foot pedal is a nice feature also.

    The colored led lights do not work with Spider Jam they will only be red.I like the pedal other than that.I like to jam by myself and record my own music.Many backing & drum tracks & guitar presets that I like & can use w/o having to tweak. When I am sitting down the wah / volume pedal takes extra pressure to get it to switch.On the up/down arrows you have to hit the bank button fast to make your choice because the choice for presets on the led only gives you a second to see what it is.
