The Line 6 Floor Board Foot Controller: Hands-Free Access For Your Vintage Line 6 Gear

Features of the Line 6 Floor Board Foot Controller:

Two Access Modes: Stompbox-Style On/Off and Channel Select

The Floor Board has two main modes of operation: Effect On/Off and Channel Select. Effect On/Off gives you instant direct access to your Digital Guitar Amplifier System's effects. Step on one of the sturdy steel Effect On/Off switches and the amp instantly responds by turning that effect on or off, just like a classic effect stomp box. Red lights above each Effect On/Off switch show you whether an individual effect is On (light on) or Off (light off) so you can see the details of your Channel's setup at a glance.

Channel Select gives you seamless switching between all of your Digital Guitar Amplifier System's Channels. You can choose between Preset and User Banks right from the Floor Board's stomp switches, as well as switching between the individual Channels in those banks.

Dual Expression Pedals for Wah and Volume Control

The Floor Board's two built-in continuous pedals control the Wah and Volume effects of the Digital Guitar Amplifier System. The Wah Pedal includes a toe-down on/off switch just like a classic wah pedal, and its tone is modeled after a vintage Vox wah for a very musical, expressive sound. The audio signal from your guitar doesn't go through the Floor Board - these are just remote controls for the Digital Guitar Amplifier System's processing. That means the guitar signal always stays inside the amp and in the digital domain, safe from the kind of hum and interference that you can get when using traditional pedals on-stage.

Dedicated Tap Tempo/Tuner Switch

The Floor Board gives you the same Tap Tempo control of effect times as you get from your Digital Guitar Amplifier System. With the AX2, Tap Tempo controls the speed, or tempo, of your delay effects. Just tap a couple of times on the TAP TEMPO stomp switch. Now the individual echoes of your delay will happen in time to the tempo you just tapped on the switch. You can store the new delay time with the Channel if you like, so that it will be recalled the next time you choose that Channel. With a Flextone, POD, or Spider the Floor Board Tap Tempo control can also be used to set the speed of your other effects, just like the Tap Tempo button on the Flextone top panel.

Hold the Tap Tempo stomp switch for a moment, and you access a built-in chromatic digital tuner. The Floor Board display shows you the pitch you are tuning to, and the red lights above the six lower stomp switches show if you are sharp or flat. The basic idea is that the lights to the left are on if you're flat, and the lights to the right are on if you're sharp. When you get a note in tune, the two center lights come on at the same time.

Jacketed Connector Cable Included With The Floorboard

The lockable RJ-45 jack locks in to both the Floor Board and the Digital Guitar Amplifier System, so you never have to worry about accidentally kicking it loose during the gig. The special design of the Line 6 products lets this one cable carry all the control signals at the same time as supplying the Floor Board with power from the amplifier. So there's no clumsy wall wart or tangle of cables to complicate your setup. The Floor Board is so simple to use that the entire operations guide fits on two pages.

The Line 6 Story

Calabasas, California-based Line 6 was founded in 1996 by Marcus Ryle and Michel Doidic. At their previous company, Fast Forward Designs, Marcus and Michel assisted in development of several notable products, including the Alesis ADAT, Quadraverb, and QuadraSynth. Digital Signal Processing was still a relatively new field, and both Marcus and Michel had an interest in applying the principles to the guitar signal chain. As the story goes, any guitar-based development had to be kept hush-hush around the office. Fast Forward Designs only had five lines on its phone system, so any intercom announcements for a "call on line 6" was code for "hide the guitar stuff".

Line 6 released their first modeling amp, the AxSys 212, in 1996, but are probably best known for their line of Pod guitar and bass modeling processors. Since then, they have developed several lines of modeling amplifiers, effects pedals, Variax guitars and basses, recording Interfaces, MIDI controllers, and Relay digital wireless systems. Many of the amps and effects offer Artist presets, allowing fans to get the same types of tones as their favorite players.

Virtually all of their products employ some sort of modeling technology, offering a wide range of tonal options and sound shaping both on stage and in the studio.
