magnumcaliber Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hello All! SO I have been looking for articles and threads about these 2 specific items - I recently bought the Spider Valve HD100 (not a MKII) Head, a Spider Valve 412VS 4x12 Celestion cab, and an FBV Longboard for the trifecta! The head and cab sound amazing... but the long board doesn't power up... except the volume pedal - that works. Tried different cables, same result. What gives? Did I just fry the board by plugging it in? Has anyone seen this issue and knows of a fix... is there maybe a magic pin-out hack? Would greatly appreciate any help - or advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Is it the gigantic FBV with the green display or the older one with the numeric red one? There were two "long boards" and sometimes people get them confused. But its possible that the wrong cable was plugged in - I think the bad one is called a "cross over" where the plug is the same but the wiring is different and it sends juice to the wrong pin and it usually fries something. The FBV/FBX Green display usually works with most of the new stuff - though some buttons have no function. The old Red (basically old Pod 2 digit) one is for the old V1 - 1st version V2 pods. -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnumcaliber Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 It is the Gigantic one - it actually says "FBV" (2 pedals) and it would have the green display if it powered up more than just the volume pedal. I tried a completely differnt Cat6e cable and it did the same thing... do I need said "crossover" cable? ... or to take it apart and replace fryed stuff?

BillBee Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Don't use the "cross-over" cable ever it will fry something. Hopefully it will be an easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnumcaliber Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 So far just using regular Cat6 cable... not working - Can it even work with it? are they incompatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnumcaliber Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Ugh....Answered my own question... http://line6.com/footcontrollers/compatibility.html Anyone want to buy a used FBV Longboard in good condition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
