chudsy Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hi All, First post here so be gentle!! I just bought a spider mkIV and the FBV MkII (looks unused) second hand. All of it was boxed and in immaculate condition. I plugged the FBV in and it initially flashes the volume / tuner leds then all go out (I have recalibrated it). All functions work as it switches channels and does volume / wah but there are no leds lit up. The FBV is recognised by my pc and I updated the firmware but it will not recognise the amp either so I thought I may have a cable problem (the cable was unused and was still in original packing). I have tried another cat 5 cable but had the same results. Any ideas as to what I could try? Thanks, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chudsy Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 I can confirm that it is the original cable and it had never been previously used. Thanks, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fflbrgst Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Check the jack pins on both the FBV and amp (and cable ends) - its very easy for one of the pins to get bent out of shape and not make full contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
