This was my first amp. I used it for 5 years and it's great for what it is. I gave it to goodwill when I upgraded and I hope whoever got it has as much fun with it as I did.
Got mine today at GW for $75... I plug it in to the outlet and it smells like heating wire and it sounds choppy... I wonder if someone tried to modify it and failed.
Fantastic sound, thanks for showing the hidden setting options in your video, it sounds a little different than mine, I probably haven't found the setting yet
@@qazzell Haha apparently someone thought so because I got one out of our local dump a couple years ago...it works fine and was free how can you beat that.
jim lennon no they’re great for practicing. Just annoying AF if you want to get a smooth lead tone. If you want a smooth lead tone, get the 75 watt version or higher wattages
Wish I had seen this video before giving away my Line 6. 😁 It is a great practice amp or good for small venues. My friend is learning to play so I gave it to him.
so you mean tap + drive = drive boost on/off , and I can tell you that it is actually the feature of POD 2.0 . I mean that big red kidney one. The manual tells me there are some "hidden" features , only "hidden" from the metal cover case of the POD , but not "hidden" in the manual . So you guys may try other hidden features in POD 2.0 to see if they also work on Line spider amp . may be work because they use very similar IC chips . Go download the manual of POD 2.0 . And now I also post what I know here: for POD 2.0: tap + drive = drive boost on/off tap + chan vol = volume boost on/off tap + reble = presence on/off tap + middle = delay level tap + bass = number of delay repeats tap + reverb = reverb decay time tap + effect tweak (only found on POD) = effect speed I own a POD 2.0 but not a spider amp , so I am not sure which of above works. I really like Line 6 products. Hope can help. Enjoy!
I got both but just got the amp to go with the pedals I bought for my POD 2.0 but they weren't compatible so I surfed marketplace and traded a Dean Markley K50 and a Harmony H802 beginner's guitar for it straight up. I had to drive 165 miles round trip. I'm having problems figuring out all of those features on my amp. I knew about the tap button on the POD it don't seem to work the same on the amp. I do believe I like my magic bean a whole lot better. But I'm ba headphone player anyhow.
By doing these steps, are you modifying the channel preset so if you use the Line 6 footswitch you can have your sounds that you saved???? or is this a temporary modification to the channel? I knew you could modify each channel, by moving the gain, bass, middle and treble dials.
I remember when like a year ago when I didn't know how to work the amp my friend accidentally created the wah sound effect it sounded pretty damn close
Erick Guifarro and does it work on 15 watts spider 3 or not? and if anyone knows can u guys tell me how can i use cd/mp3 in and phones/record out... i wanted to connect my earphones but i couldn’t do that

Holy shit, ive had this amp for 6 years and I didnt know some of this. Great video

I just bought one from Goodwill!
Please tell me what goodwill you drop your gear off at.

Thanks for posting that. I bought this amp used yesterday and I had no clue about these features. Very helpful video.
They are mentioned in the manual. Maybe there’s a pdf version on the line 6 website.
a friend gave it to me almost 10 years ago, i didnt know bout that :D
I've been using these amps for years and didn't even know some of these features! thanks!
WOW ! makes you take another look at this amp !
Thanks
Thnx. Just bought the amp second hand and enjoying the sound and copying your settings. Great tips.
Cool. I knew about the hidden features and had been trying a few, but didn’t know about the sustain effect on the drive boost with insane. Thanks.
Thanks for the tips! I didn't know about this gain feature, and had wondered about how to achieve that sound.
This is really cool and unexpected indeed. Thank you very much for sharing the video.
Fantastic sound, thanks for showing the hidden setting options in your video, it sounds a little different than mine, I probably haven't found the setting yet
One of the best videos i've seen. Very well explained sir. Great video. I learned some things i didn't know.
Wow I had no idea what I had at all. Thanks for this. Extremely helpful.
I just bought a Spider III 30 for dirt cheap. Haven't found a user's manual online yet. Good to know these tricks, esp. the noise gate!
Got this amp for 60 bucks! This video is awesome! Thank you!
great vid, didn't know bout the adjustments! nice! just came across this video today!
thanks! nice vid!
Tack så mycket. Det var bra undervisning av en duktig lärare.Tack for Tipset !!!
Thank you Mr. Knopfler
Lol Knopler’s a great
Thanks for these useful tips!
I just got this amp. Thanks for the great tip. Subcribed.
Thank you! Many folks don't care for these amps (I have one) but you make them sound really good.
They are really good. Sleepers
i just found one of these in the trash!! :) cool amp and thanks for the info i would have never known
In the trash?, so they are so shit people chuck them out???!???!
@@qazzell Haha apparently someone thought so because I got one out of our local dump a couple years ago...it works fine and was free how can you beat that.
@@JonGodsun Nice one,they are good fun for messing about with.

Sounds like a pist off wife was involved.
Excellent, thanks for sharing :0)

Thank you! Very useful
Thank you for this video
Informative. Thanks *
Thanks for the insights
Good to know. Thank you !
Thanks! I had no idea
Fantastic video my friend, thumbs up
great info..thank
Great tips. Does this apply to the Line 6 Spider IV 75 as well?
Brilliant
thanks!
thanks
Thanks...
Can I reproduce the British 60's sound with this amp?
I just wanna know how to open the looper feature with my FBV express pedals like I read I was supposed to be able to.
By doing these steps, are you modifying the channel preset so if you use the Line 6 footswitch you can have your sounds that you saved???? or is this a temporary modification to the channel? I knew you could modify each channel, by moving the gain, bass, middle and treble dials.
not temporary . you need to cancel it by yourself . but it is not hard to do so
is it possible to start on a empty preset to make your own? when i you a pedal with the presets it dont sound good?
Adjust the settings to your liking and long press on the current channel button until it blinks , it will then be saved
Hello, does this amp have a wah effect? Or something similar
Tremolo only
I remember when like a year ago when I didn't know how to work the amp my friend accidentally created the wah sound effect it sounded pretty damn close
Sven can jam!
does this work with 15 as well ?? thanks
thanks but doesn't really answer my question
Erick Guifarro and does it work on 15 watts spider 3 or not? and if anyone knows can u guys tell me how can i use cd/mp3 in and phones/record out... i wanted to connect my earphones but i couldn’t do that

Breathe buddy
Very bad distortion on insane channel. Sounds like nu metal guitars
