Redme Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Bought an used Spider IV 75. Amp would cut out and was noisy. The amp did not like high volume input from guitar. Particularly with humbucker guitars. If I set guitar volume at ~4 or less (general estimate) it appears to work fine. Above that, amp is erratic. Hope this helps someone having this issue. Could be a fix for other solid state amps with this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fflbrgst Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 This wa a known issue with some active pickups. Putting a non-true bypass stompbox (any) between guitar and amp usually works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becksteetsj Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 My experience is that it is not the spider but the guitar. Didn't the build-in noise-gate bring any solution? One of the reasons i like the spiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
