This is what I was thinking and BTW, thanks for all your info in the past years.

You can upload a picture by going to "more reply options" and you'll see "attach files" near the bottom. Click on browse, find your photo, then click "attach the file". I understand about the trust factor. I had issues with my DT50HD. They fixed me up though and it's working pretty good so far. As far the Bugera goes I would take the chance with it if I had the spare dough. Heck, I was having an absolute blast with my Spider Jam this afternoon. It sounds great if I turn the master volume all the way up and then build my patches. Then I took the HD500's L 1/4" analog out and plugged it into the SJ's aux input for a rundown of the full amp models. Sounds pretty good. I'm not really happy unless the Spider Jam's master volume is full open.

I've done some reading and some of the 333xl's had some issues. Of course there's always the chance of a problem. That goes for any amp. I want to try one out now, lol. Link's to BeerChurch's Blog > http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/BeerChurch/blog/51182/ There's some video's on YouTube about some issues with connector that supplies power and it needing attention.

I think the Peavey combo has an FX loop so you should be able to try using that. You should be able to just go into the front of the amp too. The 4CM can be messy and tweaky. You can always try it to see if you like it. You said you don't want to use the amp/cabs sims so sure you can turn them off and just use FX.

LOL What theeeeeeeeeee......

I like the screamer and tube drive but I like the others too. I was just fooling around with using the amps distortion by controlling the amps drive and volume with the on board pedal and I think I'm liking the gradual distortion I can get in around the middle of the pedal range. I can go from clean to heavy duty distortion from min pedal to max pedal and I use the guitar's volume to tame it even more. I was using the SLO 100 Overdrive and Bomber Uber. I adjust the cab (low cut 100, res 50-100, decay 0, thump 60, sag 0, hum 0) and run studio direct. I toy with the cab setting's to find different tones. Usually use off axis sm57 but try different cabs and mic combos.

LOL ​

How'd you do that??? lol

Your post sounds like you know what your lollipopin' doing. Kudos to you. Best wishes on replacing the lollipoped up components. Respect !!!

I don't think the SJ is going to get anymore attention in that respect. If it does I would be happy, that's for sure.

Hoping this might help someone else. I was just having some practice fun with this little amp and modeling. I made a dual path and set up a nice dirt amp to take the path to the Aux input on the Spider Jam. Then on the other path sent another cleaner amp to take the path to the guitar input on the Spider Jam and set the model to the "green" clean amp, without playing with the SJ's amp model tone stack. In order to get both paths on the SJ to work separately I had to make sure the record setting was set to 'Mic". I had the HD500 master at 50% and the SJ master set to 50% also. The HD500's output was set to Studio Direct and the Input 1 Guitar > Input 2 Variax. Since the SJ can only record either the guitar in or mic/aux at one time I can record micing the amp with another device such as my X3 Pro, which I still have to try micing it. Has anyone else done this sort of thing yet with the Spider Jam? Just trying something different and figured I would share it, carry on. Example patch > http://line6.com/customtone/tone/2247927/

So true. Specifics people, we need specifics, lol.

It almost sounds like stringbender94 is using a laptop and is trying to monitor with those speakers. If this is the case I would forget about the computer speakers and get at least one powered speaker and use the 1/4" l mono analog out from the pod

It's pretty cool isn't it? Have fun and don't forget to play the guitar, lol.

I was surprised at how well that CD/mp3 jack on the Spider sounded. It's definitely the power section. I don't know about the Spider IV but the Spider Jam has a CD level setting. It's possible it's like the my Spider III 15 amp and it's wide open so if you go into the CD/mp3 jack make sure you have the master turned down on the amp and on whatever instrument you plug into it first so you get a loud pop.

I think someone else mentioned to use the CD/mp3 input as it's like going into the power section of the Spider amp.

It's working now? Glad to hear it.

Thanks for explaining the Pod part of it silverhead. I'm going to see what I can get the Sider Jam to do at some point.

I don't think it can be done. I have a beat buddy and when I get some time I'll see if I can record the guitar and unprocessed drums at the same time with the Spider Jams recorder but if I recall correctly I had trouble trying to do it a while ago and gave up. I usually just plug the BB into the CD/mp3 jack and play along with the drums and then mic the amp using a mic and my X3 Pro or HD500 or just using a USB mic into my computer.

Or Amazon 2gb SD Card link.

I set mine to 3%, turned it off and on and checked it, it stayed at 3%. So the one I have here is saving it. I'm using the latest firmware.

Ok I must be doing something different. I was choosing a drum set and then going to recording and just recording guitar with drums. I can get up to 24 minutes of recording. When I get done with a riff I save it to the SD card as a WAV file and then move on to the next recording then save that and so on till I'm done then I'll take the SD card put in my computer and sort it out in my DAW.

I may not be the best for this but I'll try to help. As far as I know when I set the drum volume it stays put until I move it again. As for the loop length, if you know about how long your recording is going to be try making a blank (say 5 minute) recording then use that as you base and add to it as needed. This is how I do it but maybe there's a better way I'm not understanding.
