    I've never heard of anyone running an imbalanced set of speakers that way. Volume would be different from the two sides.

    'A bit more tone' is somewhat subjective! Have you tried playing with your Spider settings? Instead of maxing out the channel volume, turn it down some and try increasing the master volume. There is a maximum volume associated with these 2 controls, you may have noticed that when you have channel volume all the way up, the master volume control does not change anything past about 5.

    Moxxi - your problem sounds different, it sounds like the 'loose knob-control' problem. When you use a preset patch on your amp, the settings on the knobs don't matter, however if one of them gets moved (can happen from vibration, specially if the amp is turned up loud), it will change that setting to whatever the knob is pointing to. Some people have fixed this by removing the knob, installing a small o-ring on the shaft, then replacing the knob. This creates enough friction that the knob no longer moves form vibrations.

    Did the person/place you bought the amp from say it was working 100%? First thing you could try would be a new CAT5 cable, and you can also look into the jacks (amp and pedal) to look for any bent contacts.
  6. fflbrgst
    I've never heard of that being done. I'm pretty sure the FBV Control software only works with software (like PodFarm) or other MIDI devices.
  7. fflbrgst
    Best advice: try it and see!

    Make sure you have all Firewall and anti-virus software turned off on your computer. I had the same problem years ago, and ended up using a different computer to run Monkey and update the amp. But on Win7, there have been no issues with Spider Edit.
  9. fflbrgst
    Are you sure your CAT5 cable from the amp to the FBV is good? (Does the FBV work with the amp?)

    The 2x12 has built-in speakers, why would you plug in 1 speaker for monitoring? I'm not sure, but this probably cuts out both of the internal speakers? If so, you only had one side of the output connected (there are left and right speaker jacks), then you imbalanced the amp causing something to burn out.. You will need to bring it to an authorized service center for evaluation and repair.
  11. fflbrgst
    It is for connecting an external stereo line in for monitoring only - the signal does not get sent to the computer. You could use this if you were playing along with an external source (like an MP3 player) but only want your guitar signal going to/coming from the computer
  12. fflbrgst
    Yeah. no thoughts from us as we haven't seen it!

    First thing to try is to delete all Line 6 software form your computer (don't just 'uninstall', delete folders, too.) Then reinstall Monkey and then Spider Edit.
  14. fflbrgst
    Fading away does not sound like a problem with any effect that is on - if a gate was on, the sound would cut off suddenly. I'm afraid your amp will need to be diagnosed at a Line 6 authorized repair center.
  15. fflbrgst
    Not sure about impedances or voltage levels, if you try it keep the volume down low on the Spider to start. Remember that the DI output of the Spider is stereo, so if your FX loop is mono, you'll first need to adapt stereo to mono.
  16. fflbrgst
    Sorry, it does not sound like an easy user fix.
  17. fflbrgst
    There 16 banks of 4 patch locations each available as User Patches, so 64 total stored patches. Yes, you can access them and save them from the front panel of the amp. Suggest you read through the Advanced Guide: http://line6.com/support/manuals/spideriv75
  18. fflbrgst
    Yes, you need to have both left and right amp outputs connected to an 8 ohm (or greater) load otherwise the imbalance will eventually fry something in the amp. 16 ohm is ok - the amp will be pushing less current, so the volume will be slightly reduced compared to using 8 ohm speakers. I don't think many people use their amp as a monitor for computer playing/recording use as the speakers (like any guitar speakers) are not really flat response and don't have a great low end or high end. But if you like the way it sounds, there's nothing wrong with doing that. You're right about the other features that could be offered on the Spider series, but not sure we will ever see a new model from Line 6.
  19. fflbrgst
    Yes, but you should use the CD/MP3 input, so the Spider preamp will be bypassed and you will control volume and tone with your software.
  20. fflbrgst
    Is it turning on (lights coming on)? Try a different guitar/cable? Did you buy this new? If so, its covered by a 12 month warranty. The 15s cannot be serviced, so get replaced.
  21. fflbrgst
    Any interface should work for you except for the cheapest inline style, as they all typically have instrument and line-in inputs.
  22. fflbrgst
    You need an FBV MKII control pedal - either the Express or the Shortboard. This allows communication between the amp and your computer. In Spider Edit (software), you can save your User Patches to a file in your computer. Then disconnect amp 1, connect amp 2, and load the patches into it with Spider Edit.
  23. fflbrgst
    Yes, that's how it works! Selecting A,B,C,D on the Shortboard selects that Patch location on the amp. Use the Up/Down buttons on the Shortboard to scroll through the banks of User Patches.
  24. fflbrgst
    Until you actually move one of the knobs, the 'sound you are hearing' is based on the selection you made - whether it is an amp model in manual mode or an artist or song patch from the tone bank. Saving a sound to a User Patch location saves the settings exactly how the amp sounds at that time (not where the knobs are, unless you have moved them).
  25. fflbrgst
    You need to turn the volume down on your guitar when recording the loop, then turn it up on the guitar when playing the lead over it! That's the way I have done it.
