boloulu Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 So the 1st FBV used quality stomp box style switches and had a larger LCD window to read. MKii comes out with the wimpy switches like on the POD 500. The 500X uses switches similar to TC Helicon VL3 which can take a lot more abuse and are backlit. Why didn't they start out with the standard heavy duty switches in the beginning and is the FBV MKii going to get the backlit switches like the POD 500 HDx?

Charlie_Watt Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 IMO they tried to get away with a much cheaper solution that was easier to build. Too many problems under heavy use. The HD500x uses much more standard foot switches that should last much longer and should also be easier to replace. (Just guessing on that part since I have not had my unit apart) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
