I have a Spider IV 75, circa 2012. It was unused for some time, then in trying it out, no response at all other than power on, display working correctly, white noise and crackle, and very very loud bang/cracks when I try to connect a jack. I removed the top amp section, cleaned all the moving parts I could find, put jacks with contact cleaner in and out of any sockets. The white noise and crackle has reduced a lot, but the 'big bangs' are still there, with no sound going through. Connecting a device through the rear mini-jack is no problem, with no background noise, and output level controlled happily by volume. So speaker and basic amplification is fine. 4 questions:- 1) Anybody recognise the issue and can point me to the likely culprit? 2) Any recommendations to sites online to buy spares of boards etc? I'm based in SE Spain. 3) What's the likelihood of an experienced amp fixer (I am not one) being able to fault find and get parts? 4) Failing all else, any recommendations for price for a spares/repairs posting on eBay Spain? As I said, line in, headphone, speaker and amp and display all seems to be working happily. Thanks for any help. (PS I also have a Amplifi 150 that only lights up the ABCD voices dimly, but other than that totally unresponsive. Power supply or System board? Also cleaned it down, no luck)

Hello, I have several issues : 1-with the fx buttons of the amp : sometimes when I turn them off, the led stays on and the effect too, so it's really pisses me off, is there anyone that can help ? 2- Also, on the screen, the effect that stays on is always displayed, and I can't access to the presets 3- And the third one is that on the screen, when I touche an EQ button (Bass, Treble, Mid, Chan Vol, Drive), it stays for a very long time and I can't access to presets Thanks for your help PS : I have already upgraded the firmware version of the amp to 2.0

Hello all, I bought a spider IV 75 with the mkvII footswitch off of facebook marketplace. When I switch channels, a lot of times it does not switch properly. For eg if I switch from distortion to clean and back to distortion, it will sound clean both from footswitch and the knob. is there something I can try? what can possibly be wrong?

I've had my Spider 75 for nearly 4 years. I decided to add a POD HD300 a couple years ago due to needing a gear set up to play in a situation that does not allow guitar or bass amps/cabinets on stage. I've now upgraded to an HD500x, but I still have my Spider 75 and use it for various performance or recording situations. My question is, does anyone have any advice or tips on how to re-create the Spider 75's incredible "Demented Mind" preset in the HD500x or at least come as close as possible? I don't have the FBV pedal so I can't connect the Spider 75 to my computer to use the edit software. Thanks
