juzzy1212 0 Posted April 25, 2019 Hi all, I got a new Spider V 240 combo today and I was really excited to try it out but it sounds awful, I think it may be broken, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar? Basically, the amp sounds great through headphones or direct into my Mac but the actual amp speakers sound really muffled / muddy, sounds like there is a pillow or something in front of the speakers. I have tried updating the amp, adjusting the EQ, assorts of parameters but no joy, still sounds bad. I have a horrible feeling I have a faulty amp but I thought I would ask here in case anyone has any suggestions. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hankon6 5 Posted April 26, 2019 Idid not have this problem when I got mine a year ago . Check to see if All the selections are as they should be in the main menu....Ii.e ...Press the home button down for a few seconds until the menu pops up. See if the selections are correct for the amp as you want it. You probably have done this already. I do not know outside of this as to what may be wrong. If I were you I would return and exchange it. There is great joy in getting another one that works! It is a GREAT amp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juzzy1212 0 Posted April 26, 2019 Ok, I am sending it back, after having a proper look it seems that the tweeters are not working, I don't know if its the speakers or the amp causing the problem but I will be getting a refund, its a shame, I really wanted to try out the amp but it has put me off getting another one.

Adam_T 11 Posted May 10, 2019 your description of the sound pretty much describes my reaction when I first heard one ...... sounded tiny and with a pillow in front of the speakers .. sadly most of the presets are ultra lame, the amp sounds fantastic when you make your own . but the tweeters ARE directional , these 2 way hifi speaker systems are a lot clearer when the amp is tilted back if on the floor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
