I have just purchased the Spider V MKII and was wondering about the construction of the amp models. I play a Schecter Hellraiser with the EMG 81 in the Bridge and the Sustainiac in the neck position, and an Ibanez S HSH with Semour Duncan's TB-4 JB Trembucker & SH-2 Jazz Hot Rodded Humbucker, prior setup Seymour Duncan Distortion Mayhem Black Humbucker Pickup Set TB-6 Trembucker. With all three setups I find that the Amp's setup is way too hot for these pickups and have to dial back the Drive and EQ settings to eliminate a very harsh static signal that does not react to the tonal variation of the strings, just an underlying static noise, that is very unpleasant.
Would I be correct in thinking that the Amp models are configured for low output pickups?
Has anyone else experienced this with nearly every Amp selection using similar pickups?
Thanks!
