Spider IV Update Without Shortboard MKII?

support@line6.com — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:56:38 GMT

I have a Spider IV 75 amp. I'm still using my original Shortboard from my Spider III 75. Is there any other way to load the updates for the IV without going through a Shortboard/Express MkII? I'm using a current Mac computer, if that matters.

Thanks!

Compatability?

I currently own a Spider III 75 and a FBV Shortboard, FBV Express, and a FBV4, all are the original versions, not the MkII. I've been offered a Spider IV 75. Will my current controllers work with the newer Spider?

Spider III Tone Controls Not Working?

support@line6.com — Sat, 07 May 2011 21:25:12 GMT

I'm working on a Line 6 Spider III 15 watt amp. It came to me with a snapped off drive and treble pot. I got the parts from Line 6, after being told the pots for this version amp were different than others. I've installed them in the amp, but now the Drive and all the tone controls do not affect the sound. All the effects, master , and channel volume act normally, and the amp itself sounds fine. I've done the reset, and i'm aware of the "past 12:00" method of activating the controls. The soldering looks clean on the replacements.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Is it possible the parts may be wrong after all, or even if they were, would that cause the problem I've described?

Thanks!

Using a Shortboard MKII witha a Spider II 75?

support@line6.com — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 15:20:19 GMT

I currently use a Line 6 Spider II 75 watt with the original Shortboard. Does the Shortboard MkII add any functionality to this model amp that the original doesn't? Does the MkII allow updates to be loaded into this model amp?

Differences in Spider II III IV 412 speaker cabinets?

support@line6.com — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 06:56:38 GMT

I'm trying to ID a used Line 6 Spider 412 cabinet I just picked up. It's in nearly new shape with no mods visible. It has the current Line 6 logo on the front of the cab, and the jack plate has 2 1/4" jacks, the left one labeled 8 ohms, the right one labeled 8 ohms above the jack and 4 ohms beneath the jack. In between the jacks it reads 150 watts per side.

I've owned Spider II 412 cabs perviously, which had the older logo and were wired strictly stereo with no mono input. I see that the current spider IV cab is rated at 320 watts, rather than the 150+150= 300 watts this cab is rated. I called Line 6 support, and was told this was a Spider I cabinet, which I didn't even know existed, as the start of the number sequence on the label was (21)C75 but it clearly isn't a I series product due to the current version of the logo. Support also told me all the Spider 412 cabs have from the very start all used the same speaker, but if so, why is this cabinet rated at 300 and the Spider IV rated at 320?

So my questions are- What are the differences in Spider I< II< III< IV cabs, if any, what version of the cabinet series do I have, and what speakers are supposed to be in it?

Spider 112 Wattage?

support@line6.com — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 05:08:16 GMT

I've just picked up an original Spider 1-12 amp. As far as I know, these are rated at 50 watts. Reading the manual, I see that it's 50 watts into 16 ohms. Will this amp run at 8 ohms, or perhaps at 4? I've owned a number of Line 6 amps, all of which had 8 ohm speakers in them, and was surprised to see that this one was rated at 16.

Thanks for any help provided.

Re: Convert FB4 to FBV4?

support@line6.com — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:19:05 GMT

Hi!

In that case, if they are close, is it possible to get a schematic, or have you send a schematic to a service center, or can you modify/update the FB4 at the factory?

Thanks!

Convert FB4 to FBV4?

support@line6.com — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:01:19 GMT

Is it possible to convert an FB4 to an FBV4? Maybe change out the complete board? Is the board available through parts? I'm looking to use my old FB4 as a backup for my shortboard in case of emergency.

Thanks!
