Metalmerchant11 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi guys, Having immense fun with my used Spider75 with FBV II. That is until I bang the volume up. When proper loud it grows as tinny as hell. I know this is a trait of digital amps, but my question is this:- Is it possible to attenuate the sound from the tweeter, and knock it back a bit. Even if using my own pedals through the clean channel as the well as all of the presets. Could I dampen 'ole tweety-pie completely inside the cab with strategically placed cloth/foam or something? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fflbrgst Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 There is no 'tweeter' on a Spider IV 75, it is a full-frequency speaker. Guessing what you are hearing is the usual digital fizziness. EQ will help - the treble knob, and an EQ pedal in your chain might help some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmerchant11 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thanks, I thought it may be similar to the spider V, which has an adjustable tweeter, but fixed. I can reduce the trebel and increase the bass controls no probs, and get a more tube-like grunt. Unfortunately, when I shift presets back and forth the settings revert back to the tin-smith whacking away at his anvil. Thanks for the advice on lining in an eq. I happen to have a Beringer eq 700 in my box of tricks. Time to put it to work. Out of curiosity...if I used the line out into another cab, not full range, how many watts would the speaker need to be to handle the the output? Thanks again for your advice.

fflbrgst Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The line out is not amplified. There is probably less than half a watt there, enough to drive headphones. You would need to run the output to an amp first, then a speaker cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
