Line 6 newb help

[hgwest]

Ok, I just got my 1st Line 6 product, a used Spider II 30W and the FBV Express MKII. I guess I can live with out using the tuner and volume pedal on the MKII, BUT, this part is frustrating! When I program the clean, crunch, metal and insane to the way I like them (holding the channel button down until the light flashes after setting them), I turn the amp off an come back later everything is reset to the "Preset" tones. Am I doing something wrong? I hope this is not normal as it would be a pain to dial in all channels every time I turn the amp on....help?!?!

sounds like you're doing it right to me. which probably doesn't help much, since i have no ideas for you... but you're doing exactly what you should be doing, and the amp is not behaving as expected.

I don't have a 30w Spider II (15 w) so there is no fbv involved but if I remember right you have to push one of the amp's channel buttons (a b c d) and hold it down, it will switch color red (orange?) to green and back when done.  That was it.

 

If it still doesn't work - there "might" be an internal battery - but IDK just guessing. If all else fails a support ticket can get you in touch with the L6 Tech dudes.

Thanks guys, I didn't think about an internal battery Bill, that's a good tip. I am going to spend a bit more time with it tomorrow, now that I am back in town to see what is going on. If I cant figure it out, it may make its way back to Guitar Center for a return.......
