FBV MkII Advanced User Guide: Reference

We’ve included this handy Reference chapter in case the answer to your question wasn’t too clear in
the previous chapters (or for you impatient types that want the quick answer!). Here we’ve included
lots of questions & answers, troubleshooting tips, and other info we figure you might be too embarrassed
to ask about. You really should read through the other chapters too though!
Questions & Answers
General Q&A
What is an “RJ45” cable? FBV MkII utilizes a cable with “RJ45” style connectors on each end to
connect to Line 6 amps and POD
®
devices. We didn’t make up the name, that’s the industry term for
the style connector. It is the same as used for computer Ethernet network cables - so, if you happen to
need a replacement cable, just head to any electronics or computer store and just tell them you need a
standard “Cat. 5” network cable, and they’ll think you know exactly what you’re talking about.
I heard I can use my FBV™ MkII with Line 6 Monkey™ to update my Spider
®
IV or Spider
Valve™ MkII amp - how do I do that? You heard correctly! The short answer is to simply connect
your amp to an FBV MkII via the RJ45 cable, and FBV MkII to your computer via USB, and then
launch the Line 6 Monkey software. This will connect to the Line 6 Online server and recommend any
necessary updates for your Spider amp. Note that is required that you register your FBV MkII to obtain
some updates. For more info, please see the Spider IV or Spider Valve MkII Advanced User Guide found
on the FBV MkII Online Help site.
What is the FBV “firmware” or “flash memory” and why do I need to update it? You can think of
the firmware of your FBV MkII device as the permanent “software” on the inside of the device that
makes things tick, and the flash memory is the section that holds instructions and device settings. It
is recommended that you run Line 6 Monkey every so often and let it install any recommended flash
memory update so that your device has the latest and greatest set of data to allow it to be compatible
with other devices & software and function at its best.
Do I need a special USB cable for FBV? Nope. Any standard USB cable will do, just like you’d buy to
connect any USB peripheral device to your computer. No need to spend extra on those 24 karat gold
tipped, ultra-shielded, or quasi-impenetrable types (unless you want to).
Can I connect my FBV MkII to a USB hub? Yes, but it really should be a powered hub (one that
has its own AC power cable powering the hub itself, rather than one powered fully by your computer).
However, you’ll typically get the best USB communication when using one of the USB ports on your
computer itself rather than a hub.
Where is the installer CD for my FBV MkII? There is no device driver installation software
required for your FBV MkII device - just connect it to your Mac
®
or Windows
®
computer’s USB port
(see “Getting Started” on page 1•1). All the other Line 6 software that works with your FBV can be
the line6.com/software site, or by running the Line 6 Monkey software.
USB/MIDI Q&A
I already installed my FBV, but when I plug into a different USB port, why is Windows
®
asking
me to install it again? This is normal behavior on Windows
®
computers - it will need to install a USB
device the first time it is installed into a different USB port (see “Getting Started” on page 1•1). Go
ahead and run through the Windows
®
device installation if prompted. You should not be asked to
install FBV again when plugging into the same USB port thereafter.

- In many cases this is all the configuration needed and the midi daw software will then receive your fbv midi commands some applications however offer additional options to choose the brand or type of midi controller device to communicate properly with it for applications that offer this you ll want to look for the option to choose a generic controller device further some applications also allow you to rename your midi device port names giving them more friendly titles see your midi software s help documentation for specific instructions you can also check the following sections to see examples of a few popular midi application examples 48
- In some midi and daw applications preferences or midi options you may see only a set of midi input settings rather than a specific control surface or midi control option as described above if your midi daw software s documentation instructs you to use this for selecting midi controller devices then you ll want to select the fbv midi port to which your controls are transmitting by default all your fbv mkii control assignments are transmitted to the fbv midi out port 1 but you can change this midi out port setting per control within the line 6 fbv control application s control properties list see page 3 3 48
- Midi input options in your software 48
- Some applications specifically offer a selector to choose one or more connected control surface or midi controller devices and you should first look to see if your software offers this type of option you should see 4 selectable options for your connected fbv mkii device one for each midi out port note the slight differences for how your fbv mkii midi out ports appear within computer operating systems for fbv express mkii you ll see express in place of shortboard in these titles 48
- You ll want to select the fbv midi out port to which your fbv controls are transmitting by default all fbv mkii control assignments are configured to transmit to the fbv midi out port 1 but you can change this midi out port setting per control within the line 6 fbv control application s control properties list see page 3 3 48
