I got my spider v 20 today and used it for about an hour, Then I plugged some headphones in and played for a while longer and shut it off. I unplugged everything before turning it off and when I tried to play it again the speaker was muted. It does work with my headphones in and all the presets still work. I turned it off and on again tried to reset it, I’m not sure if I actually did reset it, I unplugged and replugged everything twisted the knobs around. I don’t have the iOS camera adapter to use the spider v remote so if I am supposed to fix it through that I don’t really know how.

I got my Spider V MKII back in August of 2021, and one of the reasons I got it was because of the Spider V Remote app, so I could get a lot of tones and effects. The app worked the first day I had the amp, but the next day when I plugged my amp into my Windows 10 computer, it said "No Device Connection." And now it has been like that for four months. I have done everything that I could possibly do: update drivers, try it on different computers, etc. I have also tried my IOS device, and my Mac laptop. Neither worked either. The only thing that I haven't done is update my amp, which I can't do because the Line 6 Updater app doesn't notice that my app is connected. I have submitted a ticket, but am not confident that it will make any difference, since I have seen that others have submitted tickets in regards to this problem, and nothing has changed. It seems that the last update for Spider V Remote was in 2019, which is a long time for fixes. It honestly seems to me that Line 6 doesn't really care, or else they would have done something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does Spider V Remote support shortcut keys to turn effects on/off? Clicking through the interface is cumbersome if you want to play around quickly, same with the amp's physical interface. I know I could get a FBV but that's pretty costly to just play around during practice sessions.

My Spider V Remote program on my windows 10 PC keeps crashing whenever I change the presets. This particularly happens the most when i mess with the cabinet settings for some reason, but it occasionally happens when I change the other settings as well. I've factory reset and updated my amp but this hasn't solved the problem. The message that comes up is "Spider V is not responding". I've also tried running the program in administrator mode and in windows 8 compatibility mode. Help would be appreciated.

Spider v20. Preset knob problem. Lost settings. Clean-Chime-Crunch-Chunk ..... not match Spider V Remote. FX2 and FX3, press the Save button - no result. HELP me!!

I know there is a general topic for tones and what not. These really aren't tones. In fact they are a lack thereof. These is ideal for those who want to start from scratch or a basic starting point to craft their own sound, or are just too easily distracted by what you get packaged in the amp. Consider them blank canvases. Installation is simple. Just download them to your PC, If you have any tones currently loaded into your Amp, be sure to back them up. And then click "restore," and load the downloaded svl6a file. This will wipe everything saved on your amp, so be sure to back up your tones or banks if you wish to use them later. After you do this, the only way to recover will be to restore a backed up bank, or reset the Spider V back to factory settings, which will restore the factory tones only. I will be adding variations to this idea as time goes on. Here I've taken the liberty of replacing all the tones with the default settings for the USER tones. Basically it's an empty tone bank as the name implies. Spider V Blank Tone Bank.svl6a On this one I've basically emptied out the tone bank and placed all the amps in their own slots for quick navigation. I have done nothing to the settings for the amps themselves, these are the stock settings for them on the Spider V. Another nice starting point to get familiar with what is available on the Spider V. Surf through them easily, pick one and build your sound from there. Spider V Amp Starter Bank.svl6a This idea for this is basically the same as the Amp Starter, only this time we start with the Cabinets. It seemed kind of silly to just use up only 25 slots in the bank so I have included the four mic settings for each Amp. I know that for many it doesn't make much of a difference what mic you use, but they are in there for giggles. I think you need to have your cab Modeling switch to "On" in order for this to be of any use. Spider V Cab Starter Bank.svl6a

This isn't a request, this is actually a solution. Mind you the performance of your PC, will determine how usable it is. I am also pretty sure that this isn't news to some of you, I just haven't found anything yet on these forums detailing that someone else has done this. I have pictured, my desktop, with both the Windows version and the Android version (in a vbox emulator) running simultaneously. If you notice, the Android version (on the right) has usb OTG access to my 240 HC, while my PC version does not. This is because it won't let me share with usb access with the PC and the Vmachine to the same bus at the same time. When I shut down the Android emulation, it gives me USB access from the PC version. What this means is that I can download tones from the cloud, using the Android app, and by saving them to my tone bank in my Spider V, I can then shut down the Android app, and then edit said tone in Windows without having to change from a tablet/phone to my PC. Directions are forthcoming...

I bought a Spider V 240 some months ago and I have installed Spider V Remote software, on my computer, to manage it better. Today I plugged the amp into the computer and started to work on my sounds. With no advice the software stopped to work so I closed it and the amp too. A few hours later I turned on the amp but the display remains locked on the "line 6" logo. The amp doesn't turns the other leds on and if I plug the guitar doesn't amplify it. If I connect again the software to the amp it shows the writing "syncing device" but nothing works at all. The amp is still in warranty but if I can find a way t solve this problem my self would be better. Please i need help so much!!
