Helix Rack => will " LINE 6 FBV SHORTBOARD MK2 " work with it ?

[benifin 11]

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

No.

Control is the only reasonable option for Helix rack.

Seriously your BEST option is to get the controller. It makes the ease of use for the rack incredibly easy. 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.
