AC Power
The amplier's Power Switch and AC Connector, for use with the
included power cable, are located on the rear panel of the amplier.
Please see the amplier's rear panel markings for electrical information.
Changing Presets
Turn the PRESET Encoder to choose the desired preset. Each preset
is designed for a particular style or application and includes one type of
amp model, the 3 Smart FX and their settings.
Editing Your Tone
Select the preset from which you wish to base your tone and use the
knobs and buttons to modify the sound to your liking (see "Controls
and Connections" for details). The Drive, Tone, Volume, Reverb amount,
Eects amounts and their bypass states can all be modied using the
controls on the front panel of the amplier. You can utilize the Spider V
Remote editor application to further modify the type of amp or eects
you want to use within the preset.
Saving Presets
Save your settings to the current PRESET Encoder location by pressing
the SAVE button once. The SAVE button will blink twice to indicate the
preset is now saved. You can utilize the Spider V Remote app to copy or
rearrange your presets.
Using Smart FX
The SPIDER V 20 amplier includes a built-in Reverb eect as well at 3
assignable Smart FX per preset.
The assignable Smart FX types are Dynamics (yellow), Drives (orange),
Modulation (blue), Delay (green), and Filter/Pitch/Synth (purple). There
are multiple models to choose from for each eect type. You can utilize
the Spider V Remote app to change the eect type or model.
1. Press the FX Buttons 1-3 to turn each eect on or o. When
illuminated brightly, the eect is on (enabled). When an eect is o
(bypassed), it is lit dimly.
2. The FX Knob controls how much of the eects are being applied.
This only applies to whichever eects that are currently enabled, all
at once. To modify only a single eect's amount, turn o the other
two eects. This control functions in a relative manner, so you may
have to move it back and forth to nd the right amount.
3. Once you are pleased with the amount of the eects, press the
SAVE Button to retain these settings as part of the preset.
