  1. I've tried the following:

    Acer Iconia One 7 inch

    Asus Memopad 7,

    Sony Experia 10inch

    Samsung Galaxy Tab 8 or 9  (Don't remember)

    All of those worked well. My only problematic device is my Samsung S6 phone who would not connect when I first got the AMP. Now with the latest firmware on the AMP and on the phone it works but it's not stable if the phone goes to sleep it will lock it self.

    If I was in that situation I would buy a tablet from a place with a decent return policy try it and if it does not work simply return it.

  2. Did you read the first thread on this page? Lots of useful tips on how to connect. First make sure the switch at the back is set correctly. Also make sure you have the proper OTG cable for your phone. Most phones use the standard OTG adapter but some need a specific one.

     

    If everything failed, the Spider now has a PC remote software you can try.

  3. Press the play pause button. If the amo is in the drum loop section, press the selector dial a few times until the music note on the left of the screen is highlighted then if you turn the dial you will switch from loop to metronome to riffs and then back to loop. Seems complicated when you read it, but on the amp it's easy to do.

  4. Click on the block you want to change in the chain by clicking directly on the icon of the device. ( If you don't click on the icon and click any where else in the block you will open or expend the control for this device/block.)

     

     

    Click directly on the word Type. to open the list of Type. Select Modulation and the list of modulation affects will open.

     

    I hope this helps...

  5. Tonight out of curiousity I decided to retest my Samsung S6 with Spider Remote. I normally dont use my phone with the amp since under Android 6.01 the phone would freeze and was not usable at all. Under Android 7.0 I got 15 minutes of stability until I lost connection to amp. So it's not perfect but there is progress.

  6. Bluetooth would have been nice, however you can get a much longer cable if you want or need, atleast with Android. (No clue about iOS) I'm using a 15 feet cable currently with no issue. Just search for USB printer cable.

     

    The app is not perfect, but it makes tweaking the amp much faster. You can also do all of this from where you are playing.

    No need to reach for the amp controls.

  7. Did you try the updater to update the firmware? Does the updater sees the amp? If the updater does see the amp and the update works fine, the you know the cable, the amp and the USB port are ok.

     

    If you have installed.the ASIO driver the the problem might be in the setup of Pro Tool.

  8. Short of hacking something I don't think you will get it to work. XP has not been offered  for 9 years and the support for it has been dead for 3 years now. You can try to download the some old drivers and see if you can get your computer to believe the Spider V is something else, but I don't think this is time well invested.

     

    As a workaround you could try to feed the headphone jack output into a line in on the sound card your computer if if you have such an input. The level might needs some serious tweaking, but it might work.

  9. Did you run a USB OTG checker? What USB OTG adapter are you using? Some devices do not play well with OTG USB. My Samsung S6 does not work well, but all my other devices work fine. I use my amp exactly as you describe I have my tablet next to me when I play.

  10. Did you try updating the firmware on the fbv3? I'm running the latest firmware and I see notes and flats just fine on the left of the screen on the fbv3. I remember reading on TGP that someone else had this problem and it was solved by loading the firmware.

  11. I agree with you, I really enjoy my Spider V and I can some really good tone out of it. It's also super flexible and allows me to create some unique stuff. The app could be improved to allow control of all the features including the drum riffs, tuner and metronome, but overall it's a lot of fun.

     

    I just added the FBV3 to my Spider V . The FBV3 is expensive but it seems well built and works very well with the V. My only grip is the control of the looper which would be easier to use if the function switch was at the bottom. It's not a big deal just a bit annoying.
