I am able to record using vocals and guitar at the same time, but my guitar will only come out with a clean sound, this is a problem, please help.

    The Spider Jam has two channels. One is the GUITAR Channel, which has all the amp simulation and effects, the other is the MIC Channel which is clean. The AUX Channel is routed through either of these depending on your settings - 'paired with mic', 'paired with guitar'.

     

    This will explain it in diagram...

    You can only record one channel at a time so it is NOT possible to record GUITAR and MIC channels together. You have to choose which one you want to record with the RECORD SELECT button. If you have AUX paired with MIC, you can record guitar and mic together but, as you have found, the guitar is sharing the MIC channel and will not have any effects. This is okay for acoustic guitar but not very good for an electric guitar sound.

     

    The only way round it is to buy a stomp box (a Pocket Pod or similar) and put that between your guitar and the AUX input. Then you will be able to record the way you want.

      El manual explica poco, es posible que no se pueda hacer lo que pretendo. En el Jack de guitarra puse una guitarra con los efectos propios del Spider Jam En el Jack de auxiliar puse otra guitarra con los efectos de un Pocket Pod En el Record Select,presiono 3 segundos y tanto en GUITAR,como en MIC/AUX, Siemre sale la misma pantalla. "AUX INSTRUMENT INPUT ROUTING" con eleccion de MIXED WITH GUITAR o MIXED WITH MICROPHONE. No se si el aparato esta estrropeado. Tampoco se si tendria que salir una pantalla que digera:"GUITAR INSTRUMENT IMPUT ROUTING" MI Spider Jam no tiene esta supuesta ultima pantalla que menciono, es normal? Si selecciono AUX MIXED WITH MICROPHONE,la guitarra que esta en el Jack de guitarra suena con los efectos del Spider Jam y la otra guitarra que esta en el Jack de aux suena con los sonidos del POCKET POD osea "PERFECTO" Si selecciono AUX MIXED WHIT GUITAR las 2 guitarras suenan con los efectos del Spider Jam tambien "PERFECTO" El problema esta en la grabacion. Si seleccionas AUX MIXED WHITH MICROPHONE solo se graba la guitarra q esta en el jack aux, con los efectos del POCKET POD la otra que esta en el jack guitar no se graba " MUY MAL" SI seleccionas AUX MIXED WHITH GUITAR se graban las 2 guitarras con los efectos del Spider Jam "PERFECTO" COMO PUEDO HACER PARA QUE SE GRABEN LAS 2 GUITARRAS CON EFECTOS DIFERENTES, O NO SE PUEDE??? GRACIAS
