treyrhodes27 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I recently acquired an FBV 3 floorboard for use with my Firehawk 1500. It came with a perfectly respectable RJ-45 interconnect cable. It would be great for a computer. Of course, it has a lot of memory and coiled up like crazy all over the floor. What a mess! Besides looking pretty stupid, the coils present a tripping hazard. And in no way, shape, or form is a polyethylene-jacketed Cat5 cable designed to withstand the rigors of regular stage work. I found a better one, and you should buy it now. Some deep Googling revealed a braided nylon jacketed RJ45 Cat 7 cable seemed like it might just be what the doctor ordered. Amazon Prime to the rescue, I had it in my hot hands in 2 days. It is vastly superior to the supplied cable and not too much coin. You are welcome.

fflbrgst Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Wow, great find! Are you using one of these now? Always thought the cheap CAT5 cable was the weakest part of the Spider amp/FBV system. I'm not gigging with this amp any longer, but if I was, this would be a must-have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work splendidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napynap Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks for the link! After the show, is it easy to wrap up in a circle like mic and guitar cables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treyrhodes27 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Speaking of buying extra things that probably should've been included with my FBV 3 footboard in the first place, I find that the Line 6 Pod XT Live/TonePort KB7 carrying case fits quite well. FYI. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JLL1RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
