Device Controls

1 - FBV Image: A graphical image of your selected FBV MkII device is displayed here. To edit the

MIDI assignment for any control on your FBV, click directly on the footswitch or pedal in this image,

or on the corresponding row in the Control Properties list below to select it. See the Control Properties

List description on page 3•3 for edit options.

Note: The FBV Control application will automatically detect and select your USB-connected FBV device

(Shortboard or Express MkII). However, you have some other options when launching with no FBV

command column. (Also see “Footswitch LED Behaviors” on page 3•6 for info on these indicators.)

3 - Pedal Wah and Pedal Vol: These provide you with two assignable functions for your Shortboard

or Express unit’s on-board pedal (we’ll refer to this as “Pedal 1” in this document). To edit the

assignments for these Pedal 1 functions, click directly on the WAH or VOL indicator items in the

image, respectively (or directly on their rows in the Control Properties list). You can assign these Pedal

1 functions to send any MIDI CC value you like so you can toggle between controlling two different

functions in your software by pressing the pedal full forward and clicking the Toe Switch Also see

the next description about the Toe Switch for related functions. When the WAH LED is lit on your

FBV hardware, this indicates that the Pedal “Wah” assignment is in use. When VOL LED is lit, this

indicates Pedal “Vol” is in use.

The WAH and VOL LED lights on your FBV unit will indicate which function is currently in

use. The Toe Switch always performs this action, regardless of the settings made to the Toe

Switch options in the Control Properties list. This is an “internal” switch behavior and the Toe

Switch does not transmit a MIDI command when performing this function. The only MIDI

command transmitted from the Toe Switch is what you have assigned in the Control Properties

List for this control.

Also see the “3 - Pedal Wah and Vol” description above for more about pedal settings.

5 - Pedal 2 (Shortboard only): FBV Shortboard MkII offers an “Expression Pedal” jack on the back

where you can connect an optional expression pedal (such as the Line 6 EX-1). To edit the assignment

for the expression pedal, click directly on this Pedal 2 area in the image, or directly on the Pedal 2 row
