  1. I do agree with you - I'm one who doesn't like using any true stereo sound in a live situation - even if its two cabinets (or separate amps) on either side of the stage, as inevitably, someone in the audience is going to be in a position where they only hear one of the sides well.
  2. Well, that is exactly the point - to get you to buy the Line 6 cabinet! Also of note - the speakers in L6 amps/cabinets are picked to produce the sound of the amplifier/preamp without imparting any real 'color' to the sound (if you doubt this, use the MP3 input to play some music through any L6 amp - they try the same through a non-modeling amp and speaker system).
  3. Yes, you do not want to run just one output from your Spider amp, as that will imbalance the amp and eventually cause a problem. The amp wants to see an 8 ohm (or higher impedance) on each output. Your speaker cabinet is 8 ohms. You'd have to open it up, rewire it with two input jacks, and probably use a couple of power resistors to get the impedance correct.
  4. Check the pedal calibration on the shortboard? Try to repeat the behavior at home without the shortboard plugged in to determine if its the amp or not causing the problem.
  5. Yes, that's the way it works, pretty simple actually. Now if you had an FBV Shortboard MkII, you could also scroll through the 9 banks with it.
  6. What Silverhead said ^^^. There's never been a printed copy.
  7. Not sure if you can calibrate that part of the pedal - the pedal does not have a tuner itself, its is just reading the signal from the amp, so it's the signal calibration that is off at the tuner. You could try reflashing the pedal software (if you dare - sometimes people have had more issues when doing that!) - but you'll need Monkey to recognize the devices first. I had that problem with an old Win machine, eventually used a different computer to connect and get the software updates.
  8. Even though there was no actual input, its possible that connecting the amp this way created an electric feedback circuit and burned out components in the input section of the preamp. The 15 is not a serviceable amp - its very low cost so just an evaluation would cost more than replacing the amp.
  9. Are you using this in Windows? IF so, check your Windows audio settings - the default output is 100%.
  10. It really has to do with the metal tabs that are inside the selector. Over time (and use) they will flex easier.
  11. You assign the sound patch to the A B C or D location on the amp, and then switch to each with the FBV's buttons. Use the 'save' button to access 'save guitar tone' Most people don't find the L6 manuals very good - you can find plenty of youtube tutorials with a search.
  12. You should be able to download Spider IV Edit with no issues, I just tried it.
  13. Step on the 'toe' of the pedal very hard (you have to stand up to get enough pressure to do it).
  14. If you haven't done so yet, download and read the users guide: https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a3e11a5258c19333c8a00/application/pdf/Spider%20V%20Pilot's%20Guide%20-%20English%20.pdf It's not very clear, but what you need to do is save the sounds you want to a particular User bank, in locations A, B, C, and D, then you select that bank before starting the song. If you have different sounds for the next song, you need to save those to another bank, and select that before starting the song.
  15. You're getting the FBV3 Controller mixed up with the Spider 3 amp. The OP was about using the FBV3 controller with a Spider 4 amp.
  16. I don't have experience with the Spider V, but with the Spider IV, the Express pedal is only assignable for volume or Wah.
  17. Each controller's product page lists the compatible amps: https://line6.com/foot-controllers/
  18. If you only anticipate recording your amp, and only ever using 1 microphone, you can use an audio interface with a a single mic preamp - however many people find that having 2 input (to use 2 microphones or to caputer ra DI + a mic) can be very useful. There are a number of AIs with 1 mic input and one instrument input - Steinberg, Forcusrite, etc, for $99, but for $150, the choices with 2 mic inputs is huge. The Roland Tri-Capture is discontinued, does this dealer have a used one available? It should sell for about $75, it was $125 when new - but the problem will be that there may not be drivers available for your current O/S.
  19. Guitar tuners are fickle things - this can happen with an amp's tuner, a tuner pedal or a clip-on tuner. I assume you mean the low E string, which can be problematic all the time to tune. get it close, then fret on the 5th fret to tune it to the A string.
  20. Sorry that you are having problems, this does not sound like anything you can fix yourself, the amp would need to go to an authorized service center for evaluation.
  21. First thing to check would be the CAT5 cable, only way to know is to try another one. Check the pins on the jacks/plugs to make sure none are bent out of place.
  22. Helix. You can use the software with any interface.
