FBV Express - No Sound

I've had my FBV Express set up with a Spider III 120 watt amp for a few years now and not had any problems with it.

 

I stupidly pressed down the A channel and D channel buttons on the pedal together, which switched the pedal off. When I turned everything back on I was getting no sound through my amp. My tones are all still saved in the amp and if I use the amp alone it works as normal. But then whenever I plug the pedal back in all I get it silence

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

    Re: FBV Express - No Sound

    The first thing I'd try to do is a re-calibration of your FBV Express to the amp:

     

    1. Unplug the RJ45 cable from your FBV EXPRESS
    2. Move the expression pedal all the way to the toe down position
    3. Hold down the A and D switches
    4. Plug in your RJ45 with the switches still depressed and hold this for 10 seconds (you will see the LED go blank)
    5. Move the expression pedal to the heel position and then all the way forward to the toe.
    6. Shift all of your weight to the toe position (you will want to stand up) until the WAH light switches on.
    7. Wait 10 seconds and click back to VOL. Your FBV EXPRESS should now be calibrated.

     

    Give that a try and see if it got your system back in working state?
