spaceatl Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I have a MK2 that is around 5 years old...Still works great. The only problem I had is one of the power tubes blew the first week I had it...new tubes and it has been fine ever since... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zliefer Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Sounds good enough to me.. I just ordered one earlier.. I know i'm 5 yrs late but I only recently found out they have Octave Fuzz and U-Vibe built-in ! the rest is gravy ! I can't wait. Thanks !

zliefer Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) The Amp is so far perfect ! Best Cleans and Crunch tones for the money! Now, until I grab a "FBV Shortboard", does anyone know if it's possible to save two Effects e.g. FX-1 and FX-2 to a "FBV Express" pedal without saving the entire Channel chain? also, I see no way of deleting/removing unneeded Presets via the MkII Editor -- is this possible? Thanks Edited February 22, 2015 by zliefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zliefer Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 To answer one of my questions: For those who might want to remove all the factory user presets. 1. First backup all of them in the Editor -> save it to say file-name "original-factory-presets" 2. Unplug the USB cable from your Express or Shortboard foot controller. 3. Exit and restart "Spider Valve MkII Edit" - You'll notice now it's empty with Defaults - now you can plug-in the USB cable to your foot controller and "Send ALL" to your Amp to be saved. or what I did is since the Default still had a few things enabled I disabled them in the editor then sent ALL to the amp. Anyways.. the factory user presets are great and lots of fun so very few will need to use this trick above but I did it cause I did not enjoy the Volume spikes.. oh, that's another thing I set the Defaults to Volume 10.. well the first 12 I did.. I wasn't about to go through all 64 of them :) besides, I'll only be using at most 16 for my own presets. That's all and I think for my other Question it might be possible to assign FX-1 through 4 to a FBV Express controller using the MIDI software for your foot controller but then you lose Channel switching function so I never did try it yet but it might be possible - instead I ordered a Shortboard cause it has a few extra buttons like Gate on/off, loop, etc .. does it all basically :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
