FBV Express pedal

My FBV Express pedal does not control volume or Wah. It will switch between the two fine, but moving the pedal has no effect on level. I upgraded to the lastest firmware and I tried to calibrate with this method:

 

  • Start with your FBV device not connected to any USB port or Line 6 device (and, therefore, powered “off”).
  • Press and hold down the “D” labeled footswitch while you “power on” your FBV (by connecting to your computer’s USB port, or Line 6 device with which you plan on using your FBV). Upon release of the D footswitch, the FBV Tuner’s numerical display will read “1”.
  • Press the on-board pedal forward fully and hold down pedal’s Toe Switch until the Tuner display changes to “2”. This should occur instantly.
  • While holding the pedal in the “heel” (minimum) position, press the D footswitch. The Tuner display will change to “3”.
  • Move the pedal to the toe (maximum) position, without clicking the Toe Switch. Allow the pedal to rest in the toe position (maximum) and press the D button. The LEDs above the Tuner’s numerical display will light.
  • Move the pedal and verify that the LEDs above the Tuner’s numerical display sequentially turn off as the pedal moves to the minimum position, and sequentially light up when the pedal is moved to the maximum position.

Your FBV MkII should now be calibrated. Press D to return to normal operation.

 

 

Everything works as it is supposed to except: Move the pedal and verify that the LEDs above the Tuner’s numerical display sequentially turn off as the pedal moves to the minimum position, and sequentially light up when the pedal is moved to the maximum position.

 

Moving the pedal at this stage has no effect on the lights.

 

Is the pedal bad? I have been looking for answer for months.
