FBV Shortboard MkII
The FBV Shortboard MkII controller provides the same functionality as
FBV 3, with the following exceptions:
• FUNCTION 1 controls the COMP eect
• FUNCTION 2 controls the LOOPER
• FS2 controls the Stomp eect
• FS3 controls the Modulation eect
• FS4 controls the Delay eect
• The FBV Shortboard MkII has only red LEDs, therefore, it will not
display the same colors as FBV 3.
FBV Express MkII
The FBV Express MkII controller delivers crucial functionality for hands-
free switching of presets, control of the expression pedal for volume,
wah, or assigned parameters, and a chromatic tuner display.
FBV 2
Don't feel like carrying around a full-sized foot controller? Now you
don't have to! The FBV 2 lets you scroll through the presets and is small
and light enough to t in your gig bag. The left and right arrow labeled
switches select the previous and next preset, respectively.
Preset Settings
Each Spider V preset is composed of several processing “blocks,” each
representing a piece of gear. They are shown in order from top to bottom
within the edit screen, which can be reached at any time by pressing the
EDIT BUTTON.
Noise Gate
Volume Wah 3 FX slots Amp
Cab EQ Compressor 3 FX slots Reverb
This can look like a lot of things at once, but chances are you'll only be
using a few active blocks within a given preset, and this processing chain
allows you to to create practically any tone you can imagine.
Classic and Full Range Speaker Modes
Spider V version 2.0 includes a Classic Speaker Mode in addition to the
Full Range Speaker Mode. Presets created with Classic mode selected
will provide a more traditional combo amplier playing experience,
whereas presets created with Full Range mode selected may result in
more “produced”—sounding tones, as well as being a good choice
when creating presets for acoustic guitar. To set the speaker mode within
your preset, press the EDIT BUTTON and scroll to the Cabinet section
in the list. Highlight “Speaker” and press the SELECT KNOB. Choose
either “Full Range” or “Classic.”
