Still the best practice amp ever. There's a reason they still sell it.

[@Subilon]

Totally agree.I use this amp a lot because the drums are adjustable.

[@sgorsyayayaya9063]

Heard about this amp through a story about a kid that was ashamed of it. This still beats your average starter kit : amp and guitar.

[@shanegriffith5948]

That's the most badass looking ESP I've ever seen!

[@frankchambers9145]

Great Line 6 Demo. Would like to see some more as I just bought a Line 6 Spyder IV 75 watt.

[@jefflien2599]

I like this tutorial on line 6 very straightforward no bullcrap.thanks yu had great addition to your saved loops.

[@orlandocastillo8919]

# Well Said # You give me alot more insight & confidence in purchasing a Line 6 . Most local sales representatives, don't have the ability to demonstrate. You Da Man !!!!!

[@TheReysinhell]

wow Line 6 got some good stuff

[@CosmicHarmony58]

Will be picking this up later today 😎

[@jessphiliprodriquez7381]

That was a cool and informative video. Love that ESP.

[@dragline9353]

Does this have the SOIL preset like the older Spyder series does? Mine is 15 ang going out. Great Video! THX!

[@torineg.847]

Would the POD HD 500 pedal work the same way as the expression pedal on this video. I haven't gotten the Spider IV jam yet. still researching on it.

[@MurdaCrumpet]

I've had one for 6 or 7 years it's still like it was out the store yesterday.. Apart from dings on it I've done bumping it it's actually a solid as fuqqq amp... I bought it from cash converters a pawn store for $200 best buy..

[@sgorsyayayaya9063]

This is good to start off for sure

[@sgorsyayayaya9063]

My fender amp doesnt beat this

[@sgorsyayayaya9063]

I started off with that

[@TheBfutgreg]

When he said "Little Wing" during the presets part, I thought he said Lil Wayne and was ready to flip my shit

[@bettermusic]

TheBfutgreg That's the Kiwi accent for you...

[@CaptSpaulding239]

Lil Wayne is the greatest guitar player to ever walk the earth. Fuck Page, Hendrix and Eddie. That boy can play some shit.

[@Michaelgracon]

Hell yeah if Hendrix was still around, he'd take lessons from Little Wayne!

[@ramosc40]

yeah I heard Lil Wayne as well,,, then I thought,,,naw!!1

[@thefamousmrbiscuit8525]

Same ish

[@jeffh9322]

I'm debating between getting the Jam or the regular Spider IV 75. The Jam has some really cool and unique features with all the jam tracks and recording options. It just has fewer presets, FX, and amp models. The sounds I really want are Steve Vai, Randy Rhoads, Jimmy Page, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Does the Jam come with any presets for them (Artist or Song)? Also, does it have any jazz (clean) presets or jam tracks? Thanks! Cool demo!

[@moetivation2378]

Great video. Two questions. First do you know how to save your recordings to wav. Second what is the functions 2 switch on the pedal used for.

[@darrenwall5439]

Thank you 💚

[@ronsnyder4300]

I have a Casio wk 3800 and the line 6 spider jam 2.0 75 amp should I plug the Casio in the guitar jack or the auxiliary

[@jparc5067]

How do you record to a computer for great audio...What equipment would i need to record to a computer.. Like how is the audio quality good, & camera soo good.

[@703BAM]

Great video! One quick question, what format does the file get saved as? MIDI? WAV? other?

[@Subilon]

703BAM wav.file

[@happysmiker]

dude you're the coolest guy

[@creature1974able]

I love mine!

[@TheBladepolisher]

On my Spider Jam amp, the tone pre-set will change on it's own. It'll play fine for 1/2 hour to a hour, then the tone changes as though I'd turned the pre-set nob. It's annoying and kind of fucked up. Any ideas on how to fix this problem ? ?

[@Subilon]

Sakki try a factory reset maybe?

[@Godflesh88v2]

Move out of that haunted house

[@zachcrand]

please get back to me, i have that exact same setup and i just bought the fbv shortboard mk2 and i cant figure out how to loop. its not letting me use the fuction 2 on the board with the spider jam. im so confused an theres no information on this problem out there

[@mayomanya]

how do i delete one of those savings? i think i got it but i dont want to delete all of them

[@tonybilly8119]

What will happen if I reset spider jam? Do I loose all tracks that came in it? And tones?

[@d.albertochang1511]

What s the Song than he play on the begin of this video?

[@archmccallgreenockscotland]

good stuff but i couldnt what you did to increase drum tempo

[@devanggiri8482]

What you prefer, this line 6 jam ornthe line 6 spider v 120?

[@RichardLuna2025]

Jam, I've got 4

[@J_Schecter]

Would I need pedals to record guitar ontop of the drums like this? Or cna the amp record my playing?

[@bettermusic]

It has playback buttons and options on the face of the amp, so no pedals :)

[@J_Schecter]

@@bettermusic oh wow thank you for the reply. I was afraid I wouldn't get an answer back from such an old video. Thanks so much!

[@Guilherme-kx2dl]

So he just created an Iron Maiden song using a Line 6 amplifier. OK

[@carlcrathorne7298]

Smashed it bro

[@markellis802]

I believe this is awesome I just purchased one, but I need some help I need some Reggae type of drums how do I get this demo so I can practice something can you please help me thank you very much my name is Mark.

[@RichardLuna2025]

You can't find the drum loops??

[@ramosc40]

What drum beat is this?? Can’t seem to find it??

[@Josh-by8er]

Hi mate,, could you tell me what pedal it is that youre using for this amp? Thanks.

[@bettermusic]

It looks like one of the older Line 6 M Series MultiFX pedals, though they've been replaced by these - www.bettermusic.com.au/line-6-pod-go

[@martyreid9870]

That's the line 6 FBV short board

[@RiffRideBoy]

How does bass sound through the spider jam?

[@bettermusic]

The Spider Jam is designed to be a multi instrument amplifier and the bass sounds pretty good through but I always feel that buying a single purpose amp (like a dedicated bass or guitar amp) will give you more flexibility as well as a more natural tone. That being said, the Line 6 Spider Jam is a great option for a musician who is working with little space or wanting something that is easy to write or arrange for a band setting. Great amp! Cheers - Alec

[@damien2729]

That is so fucking sick lolol

[@leebillingham3958]

O you need the pedal to record like you did 👊🏻

[@theders8590]

As a lefty I do admit it does seem weird seeing a left handed guitar player play on camera

[@leoncorbett4553]

As a righty it feels more normal than seeing a right handed player on camera. Idk why

[@theders8590]

@@leoncorbett4553 I think the reason is because it’s like looking into a mirror so it probably matches up better when looking at their fretboard.

[@leoncorbett4553]

@@theders8590 yeah that’s probably it

[@johnnee2192]

What kind of guitar was that?

[@omarriadelhamshary7345]

what guitar is he holding?

[@joshnunez3984]

How he did he speed up the tempo

[@RichardLuna2025]

It's inside the top display screen. I've got 4 of them. Best amp for quick recording. You can also change the key of the built in backing tracks. It tells you what key your in.

[@aleccoulson8598]

Sick!

[@joseph-8518]

Is it loud enough to play with a drummer

[@lewiscase4685]

Joseph -- yes

[@deHelli]

Great Video!

[@eliplaysguitar4634]

What guitar is that!?!?!?

[@legrasdugeek362]

this amp is Spider "III" jam no IV yes ?

[@Subilon]

Jerome Tonnon yep that's right

[@KevinMillard68]

pretty cool

[@mitchelltate-allum4726]

Awesome!! +++

Is there any Metallica presets?

[@POLLOTROM]

Does the amp comes with the pedal board?

[@kaylummclachlan3964]

Nope I wish it did

[@Subilon]

POLLOTROM look for one used sometimes they throw in fbv shortboard as well

[@erinhayes3563]

It's supposed to if you buy it new. If you by it used it will depend

[@wesleygamarra2125]

Cause I s a cheap amp, and usually amps like this don’t have a replacement parts like an expensive one, it’s important that you register your amp for extended warranty as soon as you get it, I had a Line 6 spider III that last mow than 8 years of use and abuse, ( I traveled to South America with it once) and then after I came back lasted another year and finally broke down, of course there were no parts available, and I bought another amp ( spider IV)….. for me, these are the best cheap amps for practice and Jamming….

[@BLAZINGwaffle56]

Still will pick Tube over Solid-State

[@denistaaffe7609]

don't you feel guilty turning all the little kids who can afford this amp into little metalheads....

[@joshnunez3984]

A lil wing preset😂😂😂

[@masmj3284]

This amp is TRASH. This was my dream amp but I have had issues since first day. It shuts down automatically as I go through inbuilt drum/songs. I sent it to service and after a month they said the electronic board had issues and had to change it, so they did but the sudden shut down issue is still there. It has great sound but Im definitely disappointed by its quality and service. Better Music is awesome but not this amp for sure.

[@truthfinder4973]

stop telling lies you cant gig with this with the over kill factory force sound that y cant control doing a gig this nothing butt a home use amp

[@buddyflood6758]

I played out several times with mine,no problem whatsoever

[@scott22v]

They only last about 2 years. Ive been through 2 of them. I won't buy another

[@EclecticEcentric]

Been using mine since 2011.

[@scott22v]

@@EclecticEcentric My lcd display started fading, and the different settings on the amp model knob as well as the phaser/flanger knob would bleed into each other, never could turn the flnager off completely

[@EclecticEcentric]

@@scott22v Geez.. that sucks man. I only had an issue once with some popping noise in year 3... then it disappeared (?). Obviously QC is an issue. That really does suck. Did the vendor and/or Line 6 offer any help? As for me. although this amp is a good practice amp - it will also be my last (next is either a Blackstar HT20 MKII or Boss Katana 100/212 MKII ... still checking all the reviews (as I don't have much access in rural Canada) Best of luck with it all man ... and keep rockin (or headbanging)

[@scott22v]

@@EclecticEcentric Line 6 was no help at all.I was trying to get a schematic. they just told me to find a certified line6 repair shop or send it in.I found a parts supplier and replaced the display. I couldn't figure out the other problem. but from I gathered in a few forums, the main board over heats there is no heat sink on the main chip. Great concept , just cheaply built. I'm looking at possibly getting one of those new spark amps. Might wait a year to make sure they get all the bugs worked out first. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppzYY3yIj6eUa7s

[@ABCDEFGHIJKELA...]

too bad they break if you sneeze near them. seriously, for such an incredible amp, they are masters of being paper weighted pieces of shit with zero support from L6, oh and they WILL break generally just out of warranty, FACT..check the forums.

[@EclecticEcentric]

I've been using mine since 2011. No issues...yet (probably just jinxed myself).. lol

[@josephh49]

Bought mine in 2015, beat it to death - love it, still sounds great. Only problem I've had was with the FBV Express foot pedal - that died about 18 months ago, although I suspect that the problem was more with my heavy foot than the pedal. bought it at guitar center, I wasn't looking for this, bought it on the recommendation of the salesman. Really glad I took his advice. HIGHLY recommend this amp.

[@CosmicHarmony58]

Bro?

[@ABCDEFGHIJKELA...]

@@EclecticEcentric yeah I was abit salty when i commented, they're not nearly as bad as people think ^^ It seems there was a line of amps made with less than stellar parts, the amp itself is really nice for what it is, but a certain line for about 6 months were less than adequate, and WILL break eventually, usually something stupid like a cold solder joint, or failed resistor. I literally fixed mine with a toothpick haha.

[@EclecticEcentric]

@@ABCDEFGHIJKELA... Sadly, QC/QA is not what it used to be. The one I have is an ok amp... not my go to for live, but it's an ok practice amp. I actually let my son use it more than I do. When I teach him some guitar - he uses the Spider Jam now and I use my Boss Katana 100 MKII (which takes pedals - much MUCH better)

[@evanjones5569]

WHAT IS THAT GUITAR?

[@bettermusic]

It's a custom built ESP V. But the standard model is the ESP E-II V-II Standard & it comes in black or white. - Murdoch
