Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Line 6's dedicated footswitch for compatible Spider-era amps and modelers. Buy it if you already own a Line 6 amp and want hands-free channel and effect switching.

Product studyLine 6 FBV2 Footswitch

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Switching amp channels mid-song without reaching for the panel
  • Gigging players who need tap tempo underfoot
  • Rehearsal rigs where the amp sits behind you

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players without a Line 6 amp — it is not universal
  • Anyone wanting an expression pedal for wah or volume
  • Rigs built around pedalboard switching rather than amp switching

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Two-button footswitch

Covers two assignments only. Multi-channel amps with four presets will still need panel selection for the rest.

Detail 02

Line 6 proprietary connection

Talks to the amp over Line 6's own jack scheme, so third-party amps and generic switch jacks will not respond correctly.

Detail 03

Passive design

No battery, no wall wart. The amp powers and reads it through the single cable.

Detail 04

Floor-level metal chassis

Built to be stomped on. Weight helps it stay put on carpet and stage risers.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Check your amp's manual for FBV compatibility before ordering — Line 6 jacks are not interchangeable
  2. 02Confirm whether a cable is included or whether you need your own
  3. 03Cable length decides how far you can stand from the amp

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this work with any amp that has a footswitch jack?

No. It uses Line 6's own footswitch protocol. Check that your specific Line 6 amp lists FBV compatibility before buying.

02Do I need batteries or a power supply?

No. It draws what it needs from the amp through the connecting cable.

03What can I control with it?

Two assignable functions, typically channel switching and an effect or tap tempo, depending on which amp it is plugged into.

04Can I use it with modeling software on a computer?

It is built for Line 6 amp hardware, not as a general computer controller.
