Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Fairly heavy for what it is, seems solid. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Seems like it will last a long time. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I bought this to use with the spider IV HD150 head and its perfect b/c of all the new features(quick loop, smart harmony, etc). If you're considering this for a practice amp or spider III or older and dont plan on upgrading, dont waste your money... this has features you wont be able to utilize. go with something like the FBV express MKII. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Wear socks or shoes...after a while bare feet will start to feel raw. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? n/a Finish How did the stain or paint job look? looks fine. Action How was the action out of the box? Plug it into the head and go. Easy from the start.
Great Quality !

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? This product has met my expectations and upholds the reputation I have come to expect from Line 6. Reliability How has it stood up over time? This product was obviously designed with "The rigors of the road" in mind. I think I could throw this off a building and it would still function normally. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I bought this foot controller to be used with my Spider Valve mkii. This pedal enhances the function of my amp by giving me total control over my sound. It also allows me to read which patch I have selected, add/remove effects, tune, activate the "solo" boost function, use the "looper" function and also serves as a volume/wah pedal. Most of all, it allows me to connect my amp to a computer via usb to download firmware updates (probably the coolest thing ever) and use the free patch editing software. This product is an invaluable tool for getting the most out of your line 6 products. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Aside from what I have already mentioned, this pedal really enhances my guitar playing experience by allowing me to change my amp settings on the fly and provide me the freedom of being "in the moment". The only feature I think could be improved was either shortening the time I must depress the "tap tempo" button to activate the tuner or perhaps make that duration user-programable. (You have to hold it for approx 3 seconds. On stage between songs....that seems like an eternity.) Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Finish How did the stain or paint job look? I like the finish on this product, however I think I may add some reflective tape to aid in locating specific switches on a poorly lit stage. Otherwise, perfect! Action How was the action out of the box? All of the switches have a good sturdy feel to them and the toe switch on the volume/wah pedal works great. I felt that the pedal itself was a little stiff to move for my personal taste, but all it took was a half turn of the pivot screw and it felt smooth as glass.
FBV short board is amazing!
