Getting a "CLEAN" channel & a "metal" channel to be same volume.

[JACKSONjs32]

I'm trying to program my line 6 120 watt spider3 amp to use channel a or b to have clean sound & then switch to either channel c or d for a metal sound & have them be set at the same volume,BUT..  it's not happening,the metal is 10 times louder,ive done everything including turning the channel volume all the way down when programing the metal channel. I'm really getting irritated. How do I get these a,b,c,&d channels to be at the same volume??

You posted this in the Spider V forum which is a TOTALLY different animal than Spider III.  So you may want to post this in the Legacy-Spider forum.  That being said, I did have a Spider III head long ago, but I never remember having anything close to that issue so I am little help to you on the front.  I know I sound like a broken record, but the biggest mistake Line 6 ever made in creating the Spider V was calling it "Spider" at all.  Everyone just assumes Spider V is an evolutionary change from III/IV with some additional features, functionality and presets.  But -- in reality -- the functionality of Spider V is lightyears away from Spider III & IV.  Spider V is a lot closer to being a Helix than it is being a Spider III/IV+.  Spider V is kinda like a "baby Helix", if you will.  My point is that you should consider upgrading to a Spider V.  Personally, I prefer the head driving non-Line-6 cabinets over the combos FWIW.  I really liked my Spider III head a lot and got great tone out of it, but the improved functionality of Spider V makes the Spider III look neanderthal in comparison.  It is not just the orders-of-magnitude-better functionality improvement either as the tones are better too.  When you start working in the Spider V world, you will just go "whoaaaaaa" with what it can do compared to Spider III.  Just my two cents; sorry if this is no real help.
