Works well with Spider V 30 MkII

I bought this to go with my Spider V 30 MkII and it works perfectly. The expression pedal is smooth and I've set it up to use as a whammy pedal on most of my presets.

Useful

Fun pedal switch system for use with guitar rig for example. The whammy pedal could use some tweaking

Very useful addition to the Line 6 Amplifi

I use mine with an Amplifi 75, and it's a godsend for that, because otherwise you're fiddling around with the app. You can save your top 4 settings as A-D on the stomp buttons and then of course make any changes via the dials on the Amplifi.

The wah-wah volume pedal is good too. The action is a bit lighter than say a real Cry Baby pedal, but it's absolutely fine, in fact some may prefer the lighter action.

You've to do a little stomp on the pedal to flip between wah-wah and volume.

If I'm nit-picking, more stomp buttons and a second swell pedal would be nice, but I guess for the price, this is more than good enough.

Does exactly what it says on the tin.

I bought this footswitch to use as a midi controller with BiasFX 2 via Reaper to turn on and off virtual guitar pedals within the BiasFX program.

It worked straight out of the box without having to fiddle with any settings (only Reaper itself needed a couple of changes). The pedals all have a nice feel and a satisfying click. The wah pedal has just the right amount of resistance. You just assign the physical pedals to your virtual pedals and you're off.

Very happy with this product.

Not Bad for the Price

I bought this pedal to control my POD X3 bean.

Functionally speaking, this thing is pretty plug and play. It's certainly not infinitely customizable, but it definitely serves its main purpose: to switch between tones and operate the pedal function of said tones.

I don't use my POD live as much as I had anticipated I would, so mostly this thing serves to jump between my selected tones during my writing process. I definitely haven't taken the time to take advantage of it's full range of capabilities, but again, it fulfills a need. What you see is what you get. Reasonable build quality and functionality, but by no means mind-blowing.

Good purchase.

A little pricey for what it do, but is perfect

All I wanted was to be able to control my amp channels with a footswitch, it has a volume pedal and a tunner, so it is very versatil.

Is a little pricey but works perfectly.

As a side note, it will not work with the Spider II and Spider III 15 W amp

A good tool

Well this pedal gave me an other dimension to my music, I mean I own a line 6 spider valve amp, and in combination with this pedal you can do amazing things, I mean it adds a lot of versatility in your playing, a must have in your arsenal.

At first glance to be honest it looks quite cheap and plasticy, but it's quite durable and very well put together, and once you get to use it you will be amazed at how great it actually is.
