clicking and cutting out

I have a spider 111 120watt amp that has started to cut out some times when you turn a dial then it starts to make clicking noises and i have to turn it off to get it going again but sometimes it does not work for a while

    RE: clicking and cutting out

    The only thing you can try on your own is to reset the amp:

       

      Hold the A button down as you power on the amp.  Let go after about 5 seconds.

       

      If the problem persists, you will need to take it to an authorized service center:

      Re: RE: clicking and cutting out

      Here the problem demonstrated in a Spider III. I show which part is the root of the problem. It's a very difficult job to replace the part itself which is only $20.

      The problems is, to replace the board Line 6 wants about $160!   The problem is the Digital Signal processor.

      Search for the YouTube video "Demonstration of and solution to an intermittent problem with a Line 6 Spider III amplifier"

      A heat sink on the DSP does help a lot.

      Hope this helps.
