    Yes, you will want to set it up like this:

    Hi Ted, FBV 3 is compatible with the Amplifi series but unfortunately only in function. All the footswitches will function properly, but you will not get the color coded LED rings, just the red as you have experienced.

    Mission, Friedman, and others make their own powered guitar cabinets, but Powercab does do a bit more that sets it in it's own category for now. Powercab can be used like a traditional guitar cab or can be run in an FRFR mode. The speaker models act as if you are actually changing out the 1x12 speaker in the cab for more tonal flexibility an options. And Powercab+ adds even more control with MIDI and digital connections, and IR loading which is pretty powerful and not currently found in any powered extension cabinet.

    I can confirm the speaker model switching in this video was done via MIDI.

    Overdub Delay

    ADBrown replied to johnEB86's topic in Spider V

    Yes; if you are using the looper manually with the button on the front panel, chances are you will encounter some human error when your hand has to make the jump from guitar to amp. Using an FBV 3 to control start/stop/overdub with your feet makes it much easier to loop.

    To restore factory presets, hold down the Home button and select the last option, factory reset, from the menu that appears. This will erase any presets you have made or modified so be sure to back up any presets you do not want to lose using the Spider Remote app.

    Sounds like a straightforward pushed lead tone with some delay and possibly reverb. I personally like stacking drive and boost pedals for lead tones. I often use Kinky boost (set very low) into the Minotaur, into a Fender Deluxe model for a nice lead tone. Sounds like the player in the clip gets plenty of sustain, so hitting an amp with overdrive or compressor may also help.

    Presets under "My Tones" on Spider Remote are organized in alphabetical order. The only way to reorganize would be to rename them.

    I use acoustic IR's to change the sound/timbre of an acoustic guitar. People have also been able to get electric guitars to sound acoustic using acoustic body IR's, I find results vary in this category and going electric to acoustic sounds takes a bit more dialing in.

    In addition to what has already been said; even if your modeler can load IR's, using IR's loaded into Powercab can still be useful in freeing up DSP on your modeling device.

    G10 and Spider V

    ADBrown replied to Ozzy72's topic in Spider V

    The amp needs to be on in order to charge the G10t. If you don't want to leave your amp on to charge your G10t, Line 6 makes a USB to 1/4" cable to charge the G10t. https://shop.line6.com/relay-g10t-usb-charging-cable.html

    Hi Rüdi, mounting your XD-V35 beneath your pedal train, and being partially blocked by the POD could lead to reduced signal strength; which could lead to reduced range and dropouts. Typically you do not want any metal barriers between your transmitter and receiver.

    Here are two links, one that lists that equivalent model the effect or amp is based on. The second link is experiencing some issues with the text (at least on my end), but it also gives a little blurb about each amp, and offers a bit more insight into some of the Line 6 original amps, which can be modded amps or cool mash of up amps. http://thetoneking.com/wp/line-6-spider-v-full-model-and-preset-list/ https://line6.com/support/page/kb/amplifiers/spider-v/spider-v-series-model-list-r839/

    As other forum goers have mentioned, running Variax acoustic through a traditional combo amp will not provide quality results. If you are looking for a cheap combo amp that does both great acoustic and electric tones check out the Spider V series. Spider V amps have a traditional guitar speaker along with a high frequency tweeter. The combination of the the guitar speaker and tweeter means you can plug in an acoustic guitar and expect good results. This also makes Spider V great for audio playback and providing a full range to get the most out of the amp models in Spider V. There are even acoustic presets to get you started.

    (High) gain staging

    ADBrown replied to kylotan's topic in Helix

    Make sure your input levels going into Helix Native are at an appropriate level for later gain staging. A low cut anywhere between 80-100Hz can help tame any low end boomy/woofiness. Experimenting with the high cut will also take out any fizz you are experiencing. I'd also recommend checking out the Line 6 Doom and Badonk models as well as some of the other high gain amps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF9jkFlddX4

    When connecting FBV 3 to a Spider V amp you will get the color coded rings on the FBV 3. The color of the rings indicates what type of effect is assigned to that foot-switch (delay=green, modulation=blue, overdrive/dist=yellow), but you can't customize the color of an effect. The LED colors will change according to what type of effect is assigned.

    Most common use I see for preamp uses are when running out the power section of an amp. Though running a preamp into amp is also very common. There are plenty of preamp pedals that are made to be run in front of an amp. Running a preamp into an amp gives you more EQ control before you hit the amp, additional gain staging, and perhaps a different flavor of gain.

    For a lot of Android devices you will need an OTG adapter or OTG cable to use Spider Remote with Spider V.

    Running Helix intro your Spider Valve MKii will be a different sounding experience than running to FOH. As jws1982 mentioned, try turning the cab sim off on Helix and running into your effects loop. A lot of players will use the 4 cable method when going this route, using a digital preamp in Helix with the power section of your amp. This also lets you put effects in front of your amp as well as in the effects loop. There's plenty of diagrams online for "4cm" and also a 4cm preset in the templates setlist.

    3rd party IR's well affect the sound output by the speaker. Assuming you would be using an IR with Powercab in flat mode, it would be the same as having the IR loaded last in your signal chain in your modeler. The speaker models are not IR's. The driver in Powercab physically changes and reacts differently with each speaker model. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can use an IR loaded into Powercab and a speaker model at the same time. It is either speaker model mode, flat mode, or flat mode with an IR loaded.

    All of the effects from the pedals you mentioned are in PODHD500, so if you are just looking for those effects you are already set. If you're interested in adding more effects to your sound or balancing DSP as one user mentioned, check out the M-series of pedals from Line 6. The M-Series takes the DL4, MM4, FM4, and DM4 and puts them all in one box. A more powerful effects option would be the HX effects. HX Effects takes all of amazing sounding effects from the Helix family, plus all the M-Series effects, in one box. It can also load IR's which you could pair with PODHD500 for more tonal options.

    Unfortunately, since all the amp and effect modeling takes place in Amplifi, and there is no effects loop, you won't be able to use a looper pedal in front of Amplifi and get the desired results of effected tones in the loop.

    Any audio sent through USB to Spider V will not be sent through any amp modeling or effects. I use my Ipad connected via USB to play drums from the Drumgenius app and it works great.

    There isn't anyway to disable the loop function on FBV3 between these two products.
