the thread is in regards to the FBV with the pod xt... gearbox is still a viable program for that...

you can't use any computer utilities with the spider jam.. you need to read the manual, because i don't have one and never had one...

Isn't Gearbox a legacy product? Line 6 says it's no longer made. I guess i'm wondering what the steps are if you just have the FBV express pedal and the Spider Jam amp. Thanks.

yes i meant bank... and the easy way is to just use gearbox and drag and drop them in the order of your choosing.

Thank you. When you say "you need to move all the tones into one back 17 A/B/C/D " do you mean bank? Is there a step by step process for how to do this? I want to be able to follow instructions and at the end of the day have a clean/chorusy sound on A, Distorted on B, etc. all of my choosing. Thanks for your quick reply!

you can't do that.... you need to move all the tones into one back 17A/B/C/D (example) easy enough to do...

the FBV can't really be programmed to do anything... it's only a controller.

Thanks for the help!

But, how do I change the A,B C D buttons to what I want them to be.

For example right now the footswitch buttons are as follows;

button A = 13A BritJ-800, button B = 13B Run Like Hell, button C = 13C You Really Got Me, button D = 13DFunk49.

How can I make the buttons as follows;

button A 12A Plexi Variac, button B 10B Cliffs Of Dover, button C 11C Nowhere Man, button D 9D Won't Get Fooled

Must the presets all be relabeled to a certain (group/channel/program)? 1-17 A-D?

If that is the case then how do you change from one program (1-17) to the next with the footswitch?

Sorry, this question above is the question that i need answered in plain English. Thanks!

This is the exact question I need answered. I've been looking for weeks and I haven't found one response, in plain English, as to how to change the A, B, C and D to settings that you actually want? I have the FBV express attached to the Spider Jam amp and have no clue how to do this. You would think it would be pretty simple to explain, but all the talk about "channels" and "banks" just gets more confusing. Isn't there a way to explain this apparently simple process?

Thank you in advance!

Very useful...I'm being dumb. Is the POD the control panel on the amp?

See the correct and helpful buttons on replies? If you click on those you'll make stars appear.

You cannot use the FBV express to jump from one bank to another. You can only select A, B, C or D within the current bank on the POD. You need to organise your patches so that the 4 settings you want are all in the same bank. You do this on the POD.

If you want a foot controller with a bank up and bank down button to access all 128 patches from the foot controller, then you need the FBV Shortboard.

Cheers,

Crusty
