surf tones

[horax]

I've recently picked up a line 6 spider jam after years of being without any L6 gear.

 

I kind of like this one...and I'm able to dial in a decent surfy tone with it.

however, I'm having difficulty finding proper drum tracks or anything I could use with it.

 

Am I missing something, or am I going to have to suck it up and create my own?

Pretty much have to create your own....or at least.......download some.  Convert to WAV  momo  then copy onto a SD card.  What i have done....

 

also...do that to add full backing tracks to play along with....

I have the same problem, drums tracks are very rock on the spider jam. So I use Band in a box to create my own drum tracks. I convert it to mono 16 bit 44.1 wav file.

And now i bought the Digitech Band Trio, it's more easy and I have a bass track...

I did find if I use the Pasadena Rock drum track, crank it to 160 BPM, you can do ok for surf.

Unfortunately you can't get 2 snare hits on the second beat and 1 snare hit on the fourth , but it still works out ok.

 

Amp settings...max reverb (or use a pedal), add a touch of tremolo and tape echo.

I play off of the twang or clean settings and it works pretty well.

 

However, not sure if I'm hearing hte guitar or just the amp, if you follow me...almost seems as if the guitars

are not showing their true character through the line 6 as a lot of my guitars sound similar through this amp.

 

weird.
