jacksonlui Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I went to bestbuy and bought a 4G SD CARD (class 6) rated at 30m/s I placed it into the amp and tried formatting it. it rebooted. I've tried saving a file and it rebooted. Does it not like the 4G size? I stuck an old and slow 1G SD CARD and I was able to save .JAM files but not .WAV files, it just reboots the amplifier Please advise. thanks Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonlui Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 I've already tried flashing with the latest firmware 2.09 and that didn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonlui Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Please people. Not everyone at once. I'm overwhelmed with all the support =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchibnik Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Spider jam only compat with 2gb cards. Find some on eBay and stock up. You might be able to format your 4gb as a fat16 2gb on your windows computer. That might give some joy Can't believe no update from 2.09. Isn't that from 2010?

jacksonlui Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 yes the latest firmware is old I've tried a 1G and format it to fat16 and still the same problem. maybe it's a hardware problem. it seems to save as a .jam file fine. it would be nice to have a third party software that can convert that to a wave somehow.

rchibnik Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Strange behavior. Could be a problem with the software but sounds unlikely - I mean, saves a JAM file but not a WAV. You've already successfully flashed 2.09 - maybe try an older firmware? Reformat the 1GB card in the amp, rather than on the computer? Here's a free JAM to WAV converter http://www.vettaville.nl/page.php?id=85#902 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyC Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Amp reboots whenever I try to access the SD card. Cannot even format. Using a 2gb card. Please advise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyaddict Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I have the same problem , either the amp shuts off and reboots , sometimes just from inserting the card , or it locks up and I can't do anything with the menu and I have to turn it off and back on . I just got this amp , does anyone know what to do about this or is it junk and needs to be sent back ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyaddict Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Heavy c did you ever get this figured out ? Because I would love to know the answer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysue Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I too am having a problem with the Spider Jam (2.09) rebooting down every time I turn the dial in order to view my WAV audio files on my 2 GB SD card. I have tried everything I can think of and spent hours upon hours researching this problem, all to no avail. I have formatted the card via the Spider Jam and then reformatted to the F16 format (or whatever it is) via my Mac desktop. I haven't read a resolution from Line 6 anywhere. According to other internet postings, this seems to be a significant issue to many Spider Jams. Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlthomas Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I just opened a support ticket with Line 6 about this problem. My Line 6 Spider Jam reboots when I try to access the SD-Card or do anything such as format the SD-Card. It did work for 2 years and then this problem just started. I am hoping I can take it to Guitar Center (Where I bought it) and have it repaired. I believe I did buy the 3 year warranty from them when I bought the amp.

talk2tim Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Having the same issue with 2.09 - any access to the SD card causes the amp to reboot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrislev Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 The issue is a default format on an AD card is FAT32. The amp can't read FAT32. Format the SD card to FAT16 or FAT(default). Solved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atnhonylowry Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 *****I RESOLVED THE ISSUE WITH THE SD CARD**** First and foremost a BIG shout out to all who have posted on this blog. I called customer support at Line 6 and I have to say I was happy to see they did not try to rush me off the phone and they were concerned of my issue; but he said something that made me think and profound. He said the Spider Jam amp was "old technology". Just knowing that only a 2gb SD was the max you could us. I.e all ready told me that. However, regardless of the size of the SD card, if it's new it's to fast. My mom has SD cards from 2008-2010, all 512mb, 1gb ,and 2gb. That was the issue. 'old Technology" must be used. Kind of sucks knowing something so awesome I.e Spider Jam, is old technology and they did not continue it's awesomeness in other products except Pod's. Save all files to the SD as WAV. files. Use Switch Convertor by NCH Software to convert your files to MP3. (before downloading change from mono and select stereo and select amplify, then select convert. Then ITunes, the transfer to iPhone, then rock-n-roll, impress friends. To upload back tracks save them first as a Wav.file. I don't think the Spider Jam recognizes MP3 from an SD card like it should. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyok Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 The issue at hand is with the SD card. I too faced the same situation: the amplifier would immediately turn off when attempting to access the SD card. However, the crux of the matter lay with the card itself. I replaced it with another two-gigabyte card, and there you have it – everything seems to be working as before. It must be maximum 2 gb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
