castrigano Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Can the EX-1 or the FBV Express MkII be used with the Amplifi 75? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrillow Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I don't think the EX-1 can be used directly with the Amplifi, as it's just an expression pedal. The FBV Express MKII can be used, but I think it's a poor choice, because it's very limiting in its ability to dive deeper into the preset settings. All it gives you is the ability to select preset A, B, C or D of the selected Amplifi bank. IMO, a used FBV MKII Shortboard or an FBV-3, despite the additional expense, is a far better solution. The Express is the equivalent of a 4-function pocket calculator, if you're old enough to understand the reference. Enhanced functionality on the other two devices will give you not only the A, B, C, D preset selection switches, but you will see a visual representation of the selected bank and preset, and there are also switches that allow you to turn off individual modules in the presets, like reverb, modulation, tremolo, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
