Spider IV 15,30,75/ 150

support@line6.com — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 20:37:01 GMT

After having a blast playing with the presets on my Spider IV150 and playing with the Customtones added by other users, I noticed that the Spider IV15, IV30, IV75 and IV150 are all different for downloading the presets added by other users. For example: If you have a IV150 you can not download sounds that are listed under IV15 or IV30 for example. Is there a reason why they are not compatable with one another, wouldn't it have made sense to make them all compatable? Don't get me wrong Line 6 has done a stellar job with their amps and components, I just found that there were some bands/presets I noticed people added on the other amps that are not compatable that I would have loved to have been able to try out on my amp.

On a side note; I'm looking for a few sounds that I can't seem to find on here. If anyone any "the police" sounds other than message in a bottle (which I believe was a preset on the amp itself) please post.

Thank you.

Re: FBV Shortboard MKII RJ-45 Cable Not Recgonized in Computer/Laptop

I believe I might have a USB cable around the house somewhere . I guess I was of the understanding that the RJ45 connected to the amp and/or computer as well, but since my computer won't recgonize the RJ45 cable I think USB is my only option. Thank you for the reply and you're definately right Line 6 should provide a USB Cable for the amount of $ we spend to purchase their products. Thanks again!

I should also mention that I downloaded the Spider IV Edit in the meantime as well, but it too says no line 6 device connected. Thank again for any and all help with this.

FBV Shortboard MKII RJ-45 Cable Not Recgonized in Computer/Laptop

support@line6.com — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 03:42:21 GMT

Hi there, I purchased the FBV shortboard MKII yesterday and I have been playing it in a Spider IV 150 model having a blast with all the presets and capabilities that it has. Today I decided that I would attempt to download the upgrades for the shortboard and ran into a rather large snag. I plugged the RJ-45 Cable from the shortboard into my laptop and nothing. My laptop does not recognize the shortboard at all, no beep and/or icon

detected. As a result of this I decided to try to be creative and I attempted to download the line 6 monkey to see if it would make a difference, but of course monkey 6 won't complete installation as it states please select the line 6 device you would like to configure and the fbv shortboard mkii is not an option to select as it has not been detected on my laptop.

I am running a windows 7 operating system with a toshiba l500-00f laptop and have wireless internet at my residence (I did not know if the wireless makes a difference, but I thought maybe as the RJ-45 Cable is an ethenet connection - ps I am not computer savvy). I do know the problem is not the RJ-45 cable as it works fine in the amp itself. Does anyone know what I need to do for my laptop to recgonize the cable itself.

Thank you for any and all feedback.
