brucemacdonald Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hi, I've just got a new Spider V 20 MkII as an upgrade to my Spider III. I was surprised and disappointed to hear the loud buzzing and high-pitched whine coming from the amp on all settings except clean. My Spider III is completely silent on all modes, including INSANE. The Spider V is pretty much unusable because of the noise emitted when there is no significant input from a guitar. I have tried changing guitars, changing instrument cables, using different power sockets, moving to different rooms, but nothing seems to improve it. I can remove a lot of the noise using the Spider Remote noise gate and adjusting gains, but I don't see why that should be necessary with out of the box, factory preset tones. Is there something wrong with my Spider V amp or is this just something this amp does? Any help in getting rid of this unwanted buzz and whine is appreciated.

srd1209 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Happens with my Spider V 30 MkII as well. Gives a constant ringing sound if a cable is connected to the guitar and the volume is anything above zero. In only the Clean setting the ringing does not come.
