Metalmerchant11 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hi folks, It's high time that I got kicked off on this forum, if I'm in the wrong spot for my topic, mods and seasoned members please advise. Anyway, I got myself a used Spider IV 75 in mint condition from eBay, and the fbv 11 expression pedal for my birthday...sorted. been playing around with it, and have only just sussed that I can overwrite the preset sounds...cool, being as you can tweak them to your own personal settings and save them. All good, so my question to the forum collective is this: Is it possible to obtain new patches to dial in manually, as my ancient laptop has bitten the dust as far as downloading is concerned. I had a few dial-your -own tone diagrams in the bumff that came with the amp, and they worked great. More please! How do I find them? Can you help??? Cheers CJS.

fflbrgst Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Welcome to the Line 6 family. I've always just played around with settings to make tones that I like, rather than use those others have created. Often I will start with one of the song/artist presets, then adjust to my own liking. Downloadable tones are available in the CustomTone section of this Line 6 site, but not charts showing manually-done settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmerchant11 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Thanks fflbrgst. That's exactly how I've been going. BUT.... Been trawling and trawling through the line six stuff on my phone tonight for ages, and hit the jackpot. I downloaded pdf files on phone that had shedloads of new tones in chart form manually inputted settings...yay! Unfortunately my brain is now so overheated from all my attempts that I can't quite fathom how I achieved this small triumph, so to share this breakthrough with you is a no no just now. Give me a good night's kip, and I'll be on the case tomorrow, and if you're interested I'll explain how I got there. Failing that I could post you screenshots of the diagrams. Thanks again for the welcome. Cheers. CJS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fflbrgst Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Posting a link to where you found them would help others, although the need for Spider IV info has waned since Spider V and other amps were released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmerchant11 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Good point, I had forgotten about my amp's successor. Mind you, seeing as line6 sold a staggering million spider lVs, I'll try to post a link. Thanks for the reply. Rock on. CJS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasreaper Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I don't see any place to ask about settings for a Spider Classic 15 to get a good country sound. I guess the Spider Classic 15 is too low end to have a following. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmerchant11 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 I'll have a gander at the pages that I downloaded. I only dialled in a few of the rockier tones into the amp, so didn't fully browse them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fflbrgst Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 For a country sound, you would want to start with a clean amp sound, add just a little gain. Specific settings will be dependent on the guitar you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmerchant11 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 I searched through all the PDF downloads that I obtained, including those for spider 15. You are correct my friend...no country voices. Sorry about that, but I did try!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
