You should read these Important Safety Instructions. Keep these instructions in a safe place. Before using your Spider II, carefully read the applicable items of these operating instructions and the safety suggestions. 1. Obey all warnings on the amp and in the Spider II Manual. 2. Connect only to AC power outlets rated 100-120V or 200-240V 47-63Hz (depending on voltage range of the unit; refer to back panel). 3. Do not perform service operations beyond those described in the Spider II Manual.
1 Plug In Here 2 Channel Memories / Amp Models The four channels each use a different Amp Model, and all come pre-loaded with a factory preset dialed in to nail a great tone. Press one of these buttons to hear the presets. To replace any preset with your own “snapshot” of all tone and effect knob positions (except Master Volume), press and hold one of these four buttons for two seconds. The light flashes when the save is complete.
Tap Delay Time Tap the Tap Delay Time button at least two times to set the delay time when either Tape Echo or Sweep Echo is active. The light will be lit solid when Reverb is active, and will be off when no echo or reverb effect is active. (Also see ”Tap Button Extra Functions”). 9 Headphone/Record Out Listen with headphones, or use this as a direct out for recording! (The speaker is muted when this jack is in use).
Welcome The Spider II... Thank you for inviting Spider II home with you. This amp mines the tonal heritage of the past forty years of guitar amplifier design and matches it up with the kind of digital signal processing magic that will still be ahead of its time ten years from now.
Tap Button Extra Functions Special Hidden Functions The Tap Delay Time button, in addition to setting the time of your echo effects, also lets you access a Distortion Boost and a built-in Noise Gate. When you select an Amp Model, Spider II automatically sets its tone controls and effects to match that Amp Model. You can disable the auto-FX selection (but not tone control auto-selection) by powering up Spider II with the INSANE Channel button held.
Footwork (Spider II 30 & HD75 only) Two optional foot controllers can be used with the Spider II 30 and HD75: the FBV Express for channel switching and delay time tap, or the FBV2 for channel scroll. Note that the FBV, FBV Shortboard, Floor Board and FB4 foot controllers will not work with Spider II 30 and HD75. FBV foot controllers come with a RJ-45 cable. Connect it between the front panel of the Spider II and the side of the FBV.
