I've just picked one up, and there appear to be some serious bugs in certain modes - the looper doesn't work correctly, and using the FBV to switch on/off individual effects is very buggy. It seems to be OK for patch selection and Wah/Volume control.

I've just picked up an FBV Express today, and am seeing similar problems/bugs. On the looper in either mode I can start recording (A) and then loop (B), but that's pretty much it. I need to then use the ABCD buttons on the POD device to stop or restart a fresh loop. Interestingly the corresponding footswitch lights appear when the POD ABCD buttons are pressed, but they do not respond when pressed. I'm also seeing problems with switching the FX blocks on and off using the 5678 mode. I created a test patch with four FX blocks linked to switches 5-8. Sometimes the switch works - sometimes not. As above, the ABCD buttons on the POD all work as expected, and activate the lights on the FBV, but the footswitches just don't want to play nicely. In summary, I want to use the pedal in 5678 mode, and expect the footswitches to exactly mimic the ABCD buttons on the POD - both in terms of switching and lights. Unless I've missed something, this is looking like a horribly buggy piece of kit and will shortly have to return to the shop.
