Greatest amp in the world. Some artificial presets, other simply incredible. Line 6 (Yamaha) don't develop any new firmware since 8 years ago. I have that amp with FBV Shortboard MkII and works fine, although it could be more useful. There are not files with presets, you have to setup and save each sound. Check my posts and you'll find the list of every preset. Buy it!

Finally I bought the Guitar Port, because I tried it in Windows 10 successfully. Line 6 Monkey updated its firmware and I downloaded Gear Box 3.72 and everything works fine. I'm really happy with its tones and performance. It's a good choice. Also, I have Line 6 Spider Jam and it's a good choice to record with 2 guitars. Thanks for your comments, guys. I'll going to download Pod Farm1.12 to prove it with my Guitar Port. Thanks for the recommendation.

Guys I want to buy a Guitar Port with the old Line 6 logo. I don't know its date of manufacturing. The question is: do you recommend that purchase? Is it still functional that device? I've been looking for information on Line 6 site and they discontinued the Guitar Port. Is convenient? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hey, americanworkmule

Don't worry, we are here to help us each other. I expect the file could be useful for you and the rest.

Turn the wheel (Select Knob) or use the 4-way Navigation Button. The list of patches in file are orderer. Regards and don't hesitate question.

As in pictures (http://line6.com/fx100/) you could plug fx100 in any device. In Spider Jam case, in CD/MP3 Jack must works. Good luck.

Espero no me pase nunca algo así. Supongo que debes comprar las cosas por separado e importarlas: http://store.line6.com/parts/amps/spider-iv-knob-kit.html http://store.line6.com/parts/amps.html?cat=65 No se me ocurre qué más hacer, yo estaría corriendo en círculos o comprando otro. Espero ya lo hayas solucionado. Saludos.

Yes, 2.09 is the latest. I hope Yamaha develops new firmware, because I guess Spider Jam is a great machine and could give even more features.

I've read that a good input to use these kind of devices is "CD/MP3" input. Also, you can connect your pedal to "AUX" input. because guitar input ALWAYS has some effect.

Guys I need to pitch the tune of the guitar as Jam Tracks or recordings, for example. In this way, we could avoid retune the guitar when we want to play some song of GN'R or Highway to hell, for example (these songs are tuned in Eâ™­). I guess button FUNCTION 2 in FBV Shortboard MkII has no function available in Spider Jam and could be assigned for this. I've created a suggest and a ticket with this issue. If you want to vote for this idea, this is the link: http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Pitch-tune-with-MkII/680202-23508. In the ticket, Jon Brunner (a support guy that answer me) tells me that is not possible, but I think is a basic function, also included in Spider Jam, but to others functions (upper mentioned). So, I guess we can push to get a new firmware release that includes this improvement. Thanks to all in advance.

Julio He encontrado 3 documentos al respecto: El manual del Spider Jam, que tiene bastante poco, pero tampoco es mucho más lo que hace el MkII con el SJ: http://line6.com/data/6/0a060b316ac34f0593363d5f8/application/pdf/Spider%20Jam%20Pilot%27s%20Guide%20-%20Spanish%20(%20Rev%20F%20).pdf La guía avanzada del Spider Jam (sólo en inglés), que también trae algo de información: http://line6.com/data/6/0a060b316ac34f0593376d7d7/application/pdf/Spider%20Jam%20Advanced%20Guide%20-%20English%20(%20Rev%20B%20).pdf La guía avanzada del MkII, pero es casi despreciable la información que trae relativa al Spider Jam, es más que nada orientada a software de terceros u otrods equipos de Line 6: http://line6.com/data/6/0a060b316ac34f0593c93926d/application/pdf/FBV%20MkII%20Series%20Controller%20Advanced%20User%20Guide%20-%20Spanish%20(%20Rev%20B%20).pdf Ni menciono el panfleto que viene con el MkII. Espero que te sirva de algo el comentario. Saludos.

Forget it, I found the way to do it: http://www.google.cl/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fline6.com%2Fsupport%2Fpage%2Fkb%2F_%2Famplifiers%2Fspider-jam%2Fspider-jam-209-update-instructions-r472&ei=ZLyFVJ6yFMLfoAT4yIC4Aw&usg=AFQjCNFNcZRJaWeyrgnK39mHSgdvAgFT9w&sig2=Y7aWjRGuUzOlUbUi5Hg6Kw&bvm=bv.81449611,d.cGU&cad=rja

All Somebody knows how can we backup the tones in the user bank? Some guy suggest me record at least 6 seconds, no pulling the strings and that is the backup, but I don't know how can I get back the tone setup from a recording. Some ideas? I guess if this would be possible, will be a great way to backup tones and reset to factory defaults without risks AND SHARE TONES BETWEEN USERS, because in this page: http://line6.com/customtone/browse/spiderjam/ are just a few tones and values of FX Controls are not specified. Thanks in advance.

Hi, a1terrier I've tried to "clean" the Guitar input and it is impossible. Always your sound will be affected by a model amp, modeling or something. That is the reason because you must to use the Aux input if you want to hear the real sound of your guitar using an external pedal. I've read some opinions about and CD/MP3 input would be better to input these devices. Regards.

I think it's not possible. I've louder the .wav with other software into the computer. There are a couple of softwares that transform .jam to .wav. Check this out: Jam2Wav

http://1drv.ms/11uzNhM. Here is the list of Docstoc in .pdf.

Guys The user gary9605 post in a comment the link to Spider Amp Preset List. I have not account at Docstoc, but with the preview in full screen I've copied the 19 pages and did a .pdf file. And I want to share it with anybody who thinks is helpful. This is the link: Spider II-III-Jam Presets. I've being checking the info and I still can't understand why Line 6 don't publish that kind of documents. Regards!

These are the 2 files that I've found it about: http://1drv.ms/1yNsbSK

I got it! https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=C0299655CEEA2522!8333&authkey=!ALbXzuLAID3j5l4&ithint=folder%2c I've included the link sent by gary9605 and a speadsheet found in the web.

It's not for free anywhere?

I don't think it is posible, at least Line 6 develops a new firmware that allows this and a lot of other changes of customization (more user tones, for example). Regards,

I found an Excel spreadsheet with only the names an order of the presets. But, if you are looking for its configurations, I can´t find nothing about that. I still don't understand why Line 6 don't give that information or upgrades the list of user tones to play some popular songs. Regards.

Anton There is no way to download tones from internet and load it to the SJ using SD card or any other way. You must to edit it manually. Looks here: http://line6.com/customtone/browse/spiderjam/. That is all that I found in internet about this issue. I am very disappointed about it too. I've created one tone for each Amp Model, with the following values: Drive: 0, Bass, Mid, Treble in the middle, Chorus Flange: off, Delay: off and Reverb: off too. I guess is a good way to start to create tones by myself. Good luck!
