Thanks! I had calibrated it (or I tried to) but now I redid it and it's fine now...

That should not be the case....I have a Flextone III XL and MK2 shortboard....However, I don't think I have ever really used it with the Flexy. Always use the old MK1....I will try to check that out for your this evening...

Have you done the calibration?

FBV Shortboard Mk. II: (Note: Before performing the calibration routine, please disconnect any expansion expression pedals IE: EX-1)

1) Hold the D button while connecting the CAT-5 cable on the FBV. The display will read “CALIBRATE PEDAL” until the D button is released, at which point it will read “1 PEDAL TOE”.

2) Press and hold the internal pedal toe-switch until the LCD changes to “2 PEDAL MIN”. This should occur instantly.

3) Set the heel to (minimum) position, press the D button. The LCD will change to “3 LCD MAX”.

4) Set the toe position (maximum) and press the D button. The LCD will change to “CHECK VALUE 127”.

5) Move the pedal and verify that the value reaches 0 in the minimum position and 127 in the maximum position.

6) Press D to exit

Hi,

How does the volumepedal of the FBV shortboard MkII work in combination with a Flextone III? I tought it would just be: volumepedal closed, no volume whatever you do. But I have the problem that, if I switch channels the position of the volumepedal isn't used/updated. So lets say the volumepedal is 50% open, and I switch channels, the volume goes to 100% until I move the volumepedal a little bit. This is very annoying. Is this a defect on my Shortboard MkII or is it 'normal'? I'm really dissapointed, because now I'll have to buy a separate volumepedal to connect to the effects loop to control the volume.

Greetings Thomas
