Thanks for the very thorough steps, Tony. Not sure if it helped JimKarl but it helped me. I had gotten the procedure from tech support some time back, but the step to "press down hard enough to actuate the pedal's toe switch" was omitted. Side questions for you if you don't mind: What does the AMP 2 button do on the FBV Long Board when used with the POD 2.0 (besides being used for calibration)? Also, the wah/volume pedals each have both red and green LEDs. What do the green LEDs indicate and how do you make them come on? BTW, when I plug in the CAT 5 cable all the lights flash at some point so I don't have any burned out bulbs.

Thanks, guys, for your help. Tried to respond to you guys earlier, but I just noticed my message didn't post for some reason. Sorry about that. I'm new here so perhaps I hit the wrong button. It's probably just as well because I just figured out my problem. The pedals work! :D I feel like an idiot, though. I bought the long board used some time back, never really figured out how to use it, assumed the pedals were broken when I couldn't get any response out of them, got busy with other stuff then put it away for a while. I've only just now figured out that it takes a lot of toe pressure to activate the switch. :huh: Pretty embarrassing. I did learn, though, that the switch can be turned off via midi. I think I'll go hide under my rock.

Hmmm. Just thought of this. Could it be a midi setting in the POD 2.0? I just noticed there are Wah & Volume pedal midi settings, including an off for the Wah and an off for Volume "swell". I'm working on downloading the software to check/test it. That would be pretty bad a** if that's all it is.

Hello. Have a longboard that works great with my POD 2 EXCEPT neither the volume nor the Wah pedals work. Have tried researching previous posts but I'm not finding anything useful. Tech support had me go through calibration multiple times but pedals still don't work. Tried swapping cables, still no worky, inspected pins & verified they are not bend, popped the cover off and it is pristine on the inside. Stinks that Line 6 won't give up the tech data. They don't even make the part anymore and it's too expensive to send them off for repair. Does anybody have any useful experience with this? I've done a visual examination of the Main PCB using magnification and don't see any burnt tracts nor parts that overheated. Main PCB is identified as FBX#, Part # 35-00-0090, Rev B, 07.31.2001, but somebody has hand scribed Rev J in marker. Underneath the top of the pedals is a greenish material that protrudes through the metal case but I don't see where that could do anything. Any clues anybody? Does the removable chip have anything to do with it? Did I read somewhere that these things can lose their memory if left unplugged too long? ~H~E~L~P~

Hello. I have a Line 6 FBV Full-Sized Foot Controller also referred to as the “Line 6 FBV Deluxe Pedal Board) with 18 Buttons & 2 Built-in Expression Pedals like the one on this website: http://www.worldmusicsupply.com/Line-6-FBV-Foot-Controller.html?gclid=CKeF3c_yr70CFa_m7AodoGsAew The problem I have with it is neither pedal works. Tech support had me “calibrate†them, and during the process the display did change, so I know the changes in the pedals are being recognized by the controller, but it has no effect. Beyond that, Tech support was of no help except to have me send it in for repair. Anybody else experience this? Have a fix?
