FBV Shortboard MkII
The FBV Shortboard MkII controller provides the same functionality as
FBV 3, with the following exceptions:
• FUNCTION 1 controls the COMP eect
• FUNCTION 2 controls the LOOPER
• FS2 controls the Stomp eect
• FS3 controls the Modulation eect
• FS4 controls the Delay eect
• The FBV Shortboard MkII has only red LEDs, therefore, it will not
display the same colors as FBV 3.
FBV Express MkII
The FBV Express MkII controller delivers crucial functionality for hands-
free switching of presets, control of the expression pedal for volume,
wah, or assigned parameters, and a chromatic tuner display.
FBV 2
Don't feel like carrying around a full-sized foot controller? Now you
don't have to! The FBV 2 lets you scroll through the presets and is small
and light enough to t in your gig bag. The left and right arrow labeled
switches select the previous and next preset, respectively.
Preset Settings
Each Spider V preset is composed of several processing “blocks,” each
representing a piece of gear. They are shown in order from top to bottom
within the edit screen, which can be reached at any time by pressing the
EDIT BUTTON.
Noise Gate Volume Wah 3 FX slots Amp
Cab EQ Compressor 3 FX slots Reverb
This can look like a lot of things at once, but chances are you'll only be
using a few active blocks within a given preset, and this processing chain
allows you to to create practically any tone you can imagine.
