List of the Line 6 Spider III Preset Settings

the Line 6 Spider 3 Preset Settings

If you're already thinking "where are the preset settings" on the Line 6 Spider 3, then don't leave, just continue reading.

After buying my Spider III as a part of a mid life crisis ( it was less expensive 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 I'll compile my personal 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 how to actually play the guitar.

This is an informal attempt to catalog the 403 preset values which can be selected on the Spider III Combo 75 and above, made up of 246 Artists + 156 Songs + one phantom preset, 05C. It's likely to contain many minor mistakes and probably 2 big ones for good measure.

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 following 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, reasonably easy to interpret since the controls are marked in eleven radial positions which can be taken as 00 to 10. A table value of "50" would be 5.0, top dead centre.

These values were derived using the "Comparison" feature of the amp, and are possibly accurate to + / - 2%, however values at the top end ( ninety - 99 ) have less definition, and may be less accurate.

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.
