benifin Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hi all I have an old [ but perfect working order ] Line 6 FBV Shortboard MK2. Just wonder, if I were to grab a Helix Rack:- => would the Helix Rack fully " recognize" and "communicate" with the Line 6 FBV Shortboard MK2 ? and if so => can it be configured to do the basics such as direct patch / preset selection ..... direct snapshot selection ..... IA / CC on/off selection ...... bi-directional Tuner display ? Thanks, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHamm Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 No.Control is the only reasonable option for Helix rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wouldn't recommend using the rack without it. I gig with mine pretty frequently and being able to glance at the pedal board and immediately know what to hit is something I didn't think I would ever use, but has become somewhat of a necessity with all the lights and what nots in my eyes hahaha. Not to mention you can edit on the fly with the controller.....hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
