Problem with FBV Shortboard (Mk 1, Original Vetta Amp)

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:43:19 GMT

Hi: I went to use the tone library to update some new user sounds (first time I did this, connecting the Vetta through Midi to my computer) and, after downloading a couple of new sounds successfully, my FBV Shortboard now only reads "Line 6" when I power it up. All the lights blink, and then it reads "Line 6" but none of the foot switches work on the FBV Shortboard. Did I make a mistake using the Line 6 monkey somehow? Nothing else changed in my setup, the only difference was the download of new patches, so perhaps that's a clue. I tried recalibrating my FBV Shortboard but that made no difference...I also tried to replace the connecting cable between the amp and the FBV but that didn't help. Any ideas are much appreciated, thanks in advance!!

Midi timeouts connecting to Vetta 2 with Line 6 Edit

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:45:22 GMT

Hi there,

I have the latest firmware (2.5) for the Vetta, latest version of Line 6 Edit (3.02), Java Runtime 1.5 installed and I'm connecting to my Vetta 2 combo with a M-audio midisport uno. When starting up Line 6 Edit the Vetta is recognized but about 25 seconds into the connection process (where the Line 6 Edit is downloading data) I get a midi timeout window stating that Line 6 Edit couldn't connect to the Vetta. The message suggests checking midi connections and cycling power on the amp. That doesn't work of course.

I've tried rolling back to firmware 2.11, removing and reinstalling Java, updating drivers for my Midisport Uno all to no avail. The same problem exists.

Line 6 Monkey sees the Vetta just fine. Is there something I'm missing? I'm also using Windows XP SP3.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hello,

Yes, if the speakers are "off" (output setup, page 2/4) there will be no sound. If the connections are correct and you are still having problems after reflashing the software (which he said he did) you should take your unit to service.

Usally i get stuck with the first channel on the display and the led.

Is there a setting somewhere ?

Thanks

Vetta II and FBV Shortboard mkII

I fixed my FBV problem, maybe you can fix your broken ones. I had sent it to the official line 6 tech center but they couldn´t find anything. It did'nt work any better or any worse. Then it totally failed so I had to open it up. The on off button mechanisms are like a multitude spring plates held by tape (like those klicking frogs you had as a child) once they are pressed down some circuit is closed or something. In order for the main board to notice this, the distance bolts that statitcally hold the on-off switch circuitboards are used to send the current to the mainboard. These bolts are screewed onto a pad so the current can flow. I found that the back of the mainboard had scratches near the pads... too near to the pads. The current probably sometimes decided to take that road instead. I taped the scratched areas (really small scratches actually) with isolating tape to make sure the current only decides to go where the pad is and voila it works again.

I once had an X3 and similar mechanical loading kills electronic functions-thingy happened. And I bet a software guy had to solve that bad design. Ok line 6 if you have to design a pedal, try to seperate mechanical functions from electrical. Wiring the on-off circuit with some cables would have done the trick in the fbv. But on the other hand it might not even have been a line 6 decision, chinese production managers are great at cutting corners.

See ya
