dallen751 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Can I use my Firehawk FX as the foot controller for a Spider 60 or would it be better to get an FBV 3 as the controller? I presently own an Amplify 150 and a Firehawk FX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmoncebaiz Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 No. The Firehawk FX would not control the Spider V 60. The FBV 3 would be the way to go, and it will work for either the AMPLIFi or the Spider V 60. The FBV Shortboard MKii will also work for them both, but it does not offer color coded LED rings too indicate what effect type is assigned to that pedal. All 3 products you are talking about have a similar sound set in them, with the Firehawk FX having a larger number of models and effects (it also includes the more current HD models). I would recommend sticking with the Firehawk FX, and perhaps getting a speaker for it. If you already have the AMPLIFi 150, that can work well as a speaker system for your Firehawk FX if you bypass the amp and effects in AMPLIFi. However if you are looking to have it all in a more guitaristic amplifier, the Spider V 60 and the FBV 3 make for a nice all-in-one type rig.
