Review of the Line 6 Spider 3 Preset Settings
Guide of the Line Six Spider III Preset Settings
If you’re already thinking “where are the preset settings” on the Line 6 Spider 3, then don’t leave, just keep on reading.
After buying my Spider III as part of a midlife crisis ( it was cheaper than a motorbike ), I thought… “This is a top piece of kit, pity the Pilot’s Guide doesn’t give more technical information about the settings, or indeed catalog the built-in presets. Maybe Icould compile my own this weekend.” That was in Nov ’07, I measured the final preset in March ’08, at least now I can get on with my crisis and learn to essentially play the guitar.
This is an informal attempt to catalog the 403 preset values which can be selected on the Spider III Combo seventy five and above, composed of 246 Artists + 156 Songs + 1 phantom preset, 05C. It’s likely to contain many minor mistakes and probably a couple of giant ones for added effect.
READING THE PRESETS TABLES
The Bank name and Preset name are given as shown on the display of the amp.
The Amp model is represented by it’s friendly name, followed by a single digit and a color letter. Eg “Twin Twang 2G” indicating the second amp model with a green LED setting.
The values for Drive / Treble / Mid / Bass / Ch Vol / Reverb are in the range 00-99, they can be thought to be a %age of the total range, pretty easy to interpret since the controls are marked in eleven radial positions which can be taken as 00 to ten. A table cost of “50″ would be 5.0, top dead centre.
These values were derived using the “Comparison” feature of the amp, and are probably accurate to + / – 2%, however values at the top end ( ninety – 99 ) have less definition, and may be less correct.
Keep on reading the remainder of Spider 3 Presets.
Review of the Amp: The Line 6 Spider 3 is a superb amp for it’s price. It is a 4 channel amp with 6 effects (up to 2 at a time). It has a headphone jack and a CD/mp3 slot so you can play along with your music. This amp is pretty sturdy so it won’t break easily. I like to play metalcore music (Atreyu, Parkway Drive) and with this amp set on insane it sounds perfect. There is 4 choices of sound clean, crunch, metal and insane (my personal favourite). On the downside though this amp needs to be up quite loud to get the right tones.
