ak4ray 3 Posted April 2, 2016 I have an Amplifi 30 and was wondering if the FBV 3 is compatible with the Amplifi 30? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NBell 16 Posted April 15, 2016 Yes, it is 100% compatible. BUT the only difference is that the Foot-switches for the effects will ignite red instead of their color (like when used with the Firehawk 1500). Otherwise all functionality is identical. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gkf9 10 Posted April 15, 2016 What do you mean instead of their colour? What about the Amplifi 75 is that the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
embe71 1 Posted May 13, 2016 Will this issue (not being able to use the fx color like with the firehawk is an issue IMO) be fixed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eriksande 1 Posted May 27, 2016 Hey ... I'm new to Line 6 ... just bought a Spider IV 75W and the FBV 3 Pedal. The pedal is very slow to respond to changes in the channel when stepping on the button. I'm far from an expert in this stuff, but I know somethings not right. If I select a different channel on the amp (manually), the FBV 3 updates to the new channel instantly ... but very intermittent and inconsistent in the opposite direction ... almost like when an old computer runs really slowly. Additionally the volume/wah pedal is hit or miss (I assume it's connected to the issue described above) I love amp and my intent isn't to dog the pedal ... just to find out what I need to do to fix it ... or if it's user error. A manual would be a big help. Looking forward to some help on this ... thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clantostheny 3 Posted May 31, 2016 Hmmm... regarding the "100% compatible" posts I have read on this forum with regard to "multi-color effect buttons," I felt compelled to provide an example statement, that I believe is more illustrative of honesty in action... "The Line 6 FBV can be used as a pedal controller with the Line 6 Amplify 30, 75, 150, and TT products. However the button LEDs will illuminate red only, and the multi-color illumination based on effect type is NOT supported." You will NOT find any statement like THAT on the box, helping you to make an informed purchase. When phrases like "100% compatible," are used in a description, it sort of (i.e. totally) implies that the are no listed features that don't work. And don't try to append any "ifs, ands, or buts" to the claim. 100% means exactly that... 100%. All. Every feature, on every listed compatible device works. And this feature is listed on the box, and my Line 6 AmpliFi 75 is listed on the box. I apologize for my tone here (yeah, that's a joke), but the two major features I wanted when I clicked the "BUY NOW" button, were the "multi-color effect buttons" and the "single cable to/from the ampifier" features. And, indeed, there is just a single cable required from/to the amplifier! (So, I guess I got 100% of features I wanted... but not the multi-color effects buttons.) **Frown and big sigh**... Now, what would be really outstanding is if Line 6 could state whether or not THIS particular feature is even possible to deliver with just a "firmware" update to our existing hardware platforms. And additionally, if the answer is "Yes, it is technically possible," then any information regarding whether the Product Line Development folks have plans to implement it. And, "No," I am not going to repost all of this at some other "idea" website or forum as I've spent way too much time trying to keep this post polite and accurate. It's your company, not mine. I've given my honest and constructive input right here, do with it as you will. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might add: On Pod HD products, no illumination is provided at all and you have to guess whether the effects are on or off 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gkf9 10 Posted May 31, 2016 Totally unacceptable IMO! Glad I passed now, was ready to fire my order off until I read about the light's situation. Now bought the plain and simple mkii express pedal for now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yevenino 1 Posted June 25, 2016 I have an Amplifi 30 and was wondering if the FBV 3 is compatible with the Amplifi 30? ITS THE SAME WITH THE AMPLIFI 150 OR AMPLIFI TT? WILL BE AN UPDATE TO GET THE COLORS IN THE FBV3? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yevenino 1 Posted June 25, 2016 YES, TOO BAD CAN SEE THE DIFERENT COLORS. ONE OF THE MOST REASONS TO GET THE FBV3 WAS THAT, THE LOOK OF THE COLORS. ITS A SHAME... I LIKE LINE6 PRODUCTS BUT THE SUPOORT AND GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE SO FAR TO BE USEFULL. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
