SD Cards crash my Spider Jam

Hi guys,

 

Had my Jam for a year now, and for the first time this evening I had to save a recording to an SD card. Unfortunately, every time the Jam tries to access the SD card, the amp 'pops' and resets.

 

Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you get round it ?

 

Thanks for any help.

Re: SD Cards crash my Spider Jam

Is your SD card full?

If not, try a factory reset of the Spider Jam.

Q: How do I perform a factory reset on my Spider Jam?

A: The factory reset for a Spider Jam is to hold down the settings/tone button as you turn on the power and hold the button for 5-8 seconds.

Re: SD Cards crash my Spider Jam

Hello,

 

What kind of SDCARD are you using? Is it over 2GB? The Jam will only recognize 1 and 2 GB cards.

Re: SD Cards crash my Spider Jam

HI,

I got the same sort of problem: did all of the upgrade steps; up and until step 7 of your document; saying: Verify the update was succesful by previewing a few songs and drums. That went all ok but suddenly the message came: clipping: the red light went on and the amp is not working since that at all. So tried to do the factory reset (pressing setting/tone togther with the on switch but still the same Line logo and Spider jam logo are revolving; nothing is working! The only thing that comes to the scree (after pushing the knob Guitar; MCU Version 1.05) What should I try next? The 2 gig SD card had been formatted a number of times now; with the fw.bin document newly placed on it several times; and still I am getting the same result as stated above.... many thanks in advance!

Cheers Marcel

Re: SD Cards crash my Spider Jam

I have one SD card that crashes my SJ.  That's one out of 10 or so.  It started a week ago and it would crash on one jam track that I deleted but the SJ said was still on the card.  Same thing-- a pop then re-boot.  I filled up the card with tracks and now when I plug it into the jam it just immediately pops and reboots and it wont show any of the tracks I've put on there.  I've had the amp for over a year and it's been great.  My other SD cards work fine (so far) except for one particular card.  All of the cards are the same--Sandisk 2 GB.  I just wonder if it is a defective card or is this problem going to get worse?  And this particular card that crashes my SJ was working fine with playing along and loading/deleting backing tracks for about 2 months until this past week when it has popped and re-booted 4 times and now I will not put it back in because I don't like that sound.  And again, I've checked my other 10 or so full SD cards and they seem to work just fine.  I just hope it's an isolated incident and not something going wrong.
