Re: Spider V Wishlist

Hello,

Here's something Line 6 could probably add, with a little change to the routing the MP3/line entry is taking today. Assume we plug a mike+preamp in the mp3 input, and the input is routed through the AD converters too (not the case today), Line 6 could then probably model Peter Frampton's favorite effect: Mouth Tube . Could be interesting.

As for people having problems with handles and such: I agree stronger models would be better, especially on the 212 or 2x75W combos. I have equiped my 3 spiders with "Marshall-like" medal handles ($5 each) on the side of the amps, and added wheels. Trust me it's really worth the small investment and can save your back!

Bonjour,

Sais pas sur un spider IV75, mais sur un 150, il te faut ton pedalier connecté à la fois sur ton PC via USB et sur ton amp via le cable réseau. Dans le soft d'édit, tu as l'option (sous file...) "send all" ou "send selected", qui envoie (et enregistre sur ton ampli) les patches avec les settings. une fois ta pédale déconnectée de ton PC et le soft d'édit fermé, tu dois retrouver sur ton ampli tes sons modifiés.

Sinon... ton ampli a un problème de mémoire ...

Hi Line 6 Spider amps users!

If like me you have a FBV2 and want to put it to better/easier use when on stage, you may want to adapt it as I did: https://sites.google.com/site/patrickmaillot/fbv2

Re: Click/pop recurring noise on Spider II

Hello,

Nove having a line6 repair center near enough, I didn't have too many options.

I thought this could be just a bad solder (happens quite often in electronics).

I eventually decided to take the amp apart (that's only six screws) and I reheated all solder bumps (adding a little solder sometimes) on the power board and the electrochemical capacitors (throughboard) of the preamp/effect board.

Took me overall 1/2h and everything is now working fine after re-assembling the amp! No hiss buildup and no cracking/pop noises anymore :-) .

I'm not saying everyone should or can open their amp and get to reapair it.But in my case, one of the solders was obviously weak and the resulting bad connection was creating the problem.

Hope this helps,

-Patrick

Hello,

Had the same issue with a spider II 150 and looked for an answer on this forum but no chance.

In many many cases, this could be just a bad solder (happens quite often in electronics).

You need to remove the connectors and the 5 screws per board for this.

Took me overall 1/2h and everything is now working fine after re-assembling the amp! no more pops, hiss buildup and noises.

Maybe your issue is the same: one of the solders may be weak and the resulting bad connection is creating the problem.

Hope this helps,

Click/pop recurring noise on Spider II

support@line6.com — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:45:56 GMT

Hello,

My Line 6 SpiderII 150 is making a funny (well... not so) noise. All volumes to 0, no input (it's even worse with a guitar plugged in. Please check the attached audio file, for example at 18s, 23s and 29s.

Anyone has an idea? It seems to be linked or implying ONLY the power (dual TDA7193) stage (taking the output from the headphones does not produce the same noise/problem).

Thanks for your help; please copy patrick.maillot@gmail.com in your answer; I am not too often on the forum.
