juzzy1212 Posted April 25, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankon6 Posted April 26, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juzzy1212 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share 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 Posted May 10, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
