seems to be a remake of the spider 2 with buttloads of presets and a faster processor.

you sure about the spider 3s at city music? line 6 hasnt even updated their spider 3 links.
yea i went to check em out at city music today... quite cool, from the 75 watt onwards it has 400 preset sounds, and still has the original line6 channels (clean, twang, blues, crunch, metal, insane), 2 tyes of each of those channels so that = 12 channles 8O
and yes i already mentioned the 400 preset sounds of many famous songs/bands haha, whole lotta built in effects too
the 75 watt is like $470+ after discount so IMO its really worth it. of course it does lack that certain "soul" of a non-digital amp, but hell u get hundreds of different sounds from it at that price! so im not complaining haha

Digging up an ooold thread without making a new one.
Is it just me or is the spider III extremely treblish? Been jamming with the head/cab version and no matter how I tweak the onboard Eq's its still waaaaaay treblish in an irritating way. Its as though the Treble controls serves no purpose at all cept to make it even MORE treblish.
Any idea of tweaking it other than change jamming place or getting an EQ pedal?

Hmm.
Experiment with different default clean settings and use a drive pedal?

I do use a drive pedal but its my main drive, the UM.
But even with that I have to cut most of the treble out cause its waaay irritating, I prefer a warm distorted/clean tone than high ear piercing ear bleeding noise.... and I've already put the treble all the way down to 0 and its still treble heeaven.

Well once I did jam at a certain place that was using a Spider III head and half-stack.. and the sound I got from it was just... urgh, like what lifele55 said it was too trebly and I could not hear myself very well because I was standing right in front of the amp.
At that point in time, I was too broke to buy pedals, so I moved on elsewhere, and I've found the right place where I'm comfy with the sound.

Ditto Crawldaddy, I had to stand over the other side or behind the cab itself to save my ears from bleeding.
And at this time getting an EQ isn't in the books just yet or actually getting a delay is top priority so I guess have to move "house"...
might have a place in mind too..

I can't stand my spider 2. Sounds lifeless and thin like many digital modellers.

seriously, if the spider amps are just for practice and bedroom musicians, it is good enough. the 15W is a good bedroom amp, the 30W is good enough for a small gig. agree with ciel, it takes pedals pretty well, add abit of its own reverb, and you'll get quite a good tone.
had been using a SpiderII 30W for about a year, no problem at all. just plug your guit into the amp, press a preset, and you're ready to practice. Good for lazy pple like me.
