Very good footswitch
There is virtually nothing wrong with this footswitch.I use it with my spider III 75 and it is very easy to use, you just plug it in and it's ready to go. The cable is VERY long, but if you wrap it up it will be just fine. This footswitch is really strong and if you threw it on concrete as hard as you could I bet it would work just fine. The wah pedal is decent, if your interest in this footswitch is the wah pedal, you are better of buying a cry baby. Overall I would say that this is a very good investment for someone looking for an affordable footswitch with some wah.

Works great when its not broken
I do not own a line 6 amp and use this product strictly as a midi controller. I play keyboards and use a laptop, 2 midi boards, and this foot controller. I like it because it is small, light, and has all the functions I need. I dislike that it is make of plastic and can be easily broken. Setup was really easy, the line 6 software makes it easy to change a cc# switch buttons from toggle to momentary, adjust max/min values, etc... It has always worked reliably for me... when it is not broken. Was recently backstage getting ready for a show, went to plug it in and it did not turn on. Discovered the plastic piece in the middle of the usb jack had broken off. I had to quickly change up several patches and limped through the show without it. Since I cannot find a more durable midi controller with the same features and size I bought a new one and this time went for the 2 year protection coverage so that when it breaks again (which I am certain it will), I can take it to GC and get a new one. I also hard wired a usb cord to the broken jack on the old one so that next time I discover it is broken right before a show I will have a backup with me ready to go.

This piece of equipment eliminates the need for most of all other sound effects foot peddles.

Adds useful functionality to the Line 6 amps (Amplifi 150 in this case) for a reasonable cost. Wish the included cable was a little bit more aesthetically pleasing (a cloth covered more music gear look would be nice).
Compact and useful

I bought this to update my Spider IV 150, and found that I enjoyed the channel switching and found much more use in my amp. The wah pedal is stuck on Volume control instead of wah, but that can be sorted out when I read the manual. Its a nice board, but its made out of plastic, so it probably wont last as long as a metal board.
Great, sturdy, functional, easy to use.

I knew the limitations of only 4 preselects, or 4 fx groups. I really, REALLY like the cat-5 connection to the Line 6 Pod. Calibrating the foot pedal was pretty straight forward, though an additional step that I wish wasn't necessary. However, calibrate it once, and you're done. No need to do it again. The only thing that annoyed me was the noise the foot pedal made through the sound system, when configured for volume pan with high gain and stereo delay. It was a kind of "wow" sound that echoed behind the guitar when changing volume. Haven't heard it with any other FX combos, though, so it seems to be peculiar to the stereo delay. Other than that, works great. Use it on gigs with no problems.
