robbiepenny Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 hey all, I'm about 10 years late to the party, but just discovered a flextone III 2x12. Sounds amazing. Anyways, I bought an fbv express mkII to flip between presets, but the amp would not accept it. It would power up, lights on etc. I calibrated the pedal fine. But it would only read which channel was selected. It would not actually change any channels. The expression pedal also did nothing. I've since sold the pedal and the guy said it worked fine for his amp. I'd like to be able to switch channels with my feet as the amp doesn't seem to like my drive pedals. Any ideas on this? Thanks!

BillBee Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Could be a bent pin in the jack, bad cable, bad jack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radatats Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I could be wrong but I don't think the MkII FBV works with the Flextone series just as the newer FBV3 won't either. You need the older FBV or FBV Shortboard, not the MkII models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Rads - I can check this out when I get home but I was using a MKII Express on a FlexIII. Its been a couple of months but its still sitting on top of the amp the last time I checked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I can confirm that the FBV Express MKII works fully with the Flex III. Love that amp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillBee Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Still - check for bent pins in the Flexy's fbv jack if you know the cable is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
