Spider Jam the Amp
3•4
Guitar Distortion Boost
There’s also a Distortion Boost available. This gives the kind of extra ‘dirt’ that you’d
expect from a Distortion pedal with the distortion control set low and the output control
set high. It boosts your guitar signal before it reaches the Amp Model, so that you hit
the model harder and get a more distorted sound. Enabling this is the same as kicking on
Stomp on the FBV Shortboard.
Press the • Tone / Settings button twice to show additional functions.
Turn the • Select knob to highlight Boost.
Press • Right on the 4-way button.
Turn the • Select knob to turn the Distortion Boost on or off.
This setting is stored and recalled with presets.
Guitar Tuner
Press and hold the Ta p button (or Ta p footswitch on an optional FBV footswitch) for 2
seconds or more and you get instant digital tuner. The volume is muted during tuning so
you won’t hear anything coming out of the amp. Press any button to exit Tuner Mode. The
display on the top panel of the Spider Jam will work as the tuner display.
FX Auto Select
When you select an Amp Model from the front panel, Spider Jam will also automatically
dial-in the effects to make that effect shine. If you’d like to disable this feature, you can:
Press the • Tone / Settings button twice to show additional functions.
Turn the • Select knob to highlight FX Auto Select.
Press • Right on the 4-way button.
Turn the • Select knob to turn the FX Auto Select on or off.
