Amp Models: Clean
Red LED: Crisp, shimmering clean tones and warm jazz tones.
Green LED: Glassy clean tones like those from the late 60s/early 70s. Inspired by a '73 Hiwatt Custom 100.
Twang
Red LED: Classic, glassy high-end with some snap and bite. Inspired by a Fender blackface '65 Twin Reverb and a blackface '64 Deluxe Reverb.
Green LED: Swingin' rockabilly tone a la vintage tweed. Inspired by a '53 Fender tweed Deluxe Reverb, a '58 Fender tweed Bassman, and a '60 Gibson Explorer.
Blues
Red LED: From gritty, swampy clean tones to syrupy smooth drive tones this was inspired by a mix of a '65 Marshall JTM-45, a '58 Fender Bassman, a '63 Fender Vibroverb, and a Supro.
Green LED: Early British rock tone made famous by the Beatles and the Stones. Inspired by a fawn Vox AC-30 with an updated and expanded tone control circuit.
Crunch
Red LED: Classic crunchy tone popularized by many early metal bands. Inspired by a '68 Marshall Plexi 50-watt.
Green LED: The infamous brown sound inspired by a '68 Marshall Plexi 100-watt with a few added extras - jumped input channels and a Variac transformer.
Metal
Red LED: Tight and punchy high-gain sound inspired by a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier.
Green LED: Use this for aggressive high-gain sound. The mid knob sweeps the tone spectrum. Set to minimum for fuzz-pedal characteristics, set to noon for creamy, modern high-gain, or crank it for Class A carnage.
Insane
Red LED: Famed and feared bone-crushing, brain-piercing grind inspired by the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier red channel.
Green LED: Short of a complete meltdown, this provides as much input-gain distortion as possible while retaining tonal definition and character.

Spend more time playing and less time tweaking with Smart Control FX. Find the effect you want, turn the knob to the desired intensity, and you're done. Spider Jam offers seven effects, including dedicated Reverb, to choose from, and you can use up to three at a time. They include:
Chorus/Flanger

Reviewer's Play Style: Worship,
I've been turned into sort of a skeptic of digital amps/modeling by the spider jam, and of do-it-all-in-one units.
This is a great always-home practice kind of amp. It's also great for simple recordings. I used the aux. mic input for piano, acoustic guitar and things.
I don't find it very good for tone though. I'm a tone freak. This amp sometimes either "colors" the signal too much or too little, in my opinion. I was able to create a close to "real" tube sound, but in turing the amp's master volume up around the fourth or fifth dot, the tone gets lost quickly and becomes shrill and muddy.
I mostly had it for church worship and music and things, in a live setting.
And well, it's being repared now. I don't think Line 6 intended it for live anyways. I think i'll either keep it at home or maybe sell it.
This is just my experience, don't let my review create doubt about what's best for you.

This was my first amp purchase in 40 years, that's when I stopped playing in rock bands. I purchased the Spider Jam a year ago. What a pleasant surprise with all the fantastic effects built into the amp including the ability to record yourself. It's like being in a band again, but no one is late for practice, has a attitude, out of tune, or bored playing the same song over and over again. The only person who misses a note or is ever off-beat is me. The songs, drum beats, bass rifts and special effects are never ending. I find myself practicing almost every day up to 2 to 3 hours at a time. The amp may be a little expensive but it's worth the price. This is a great amp .

If you need a practice amp this is the one for you. I use it for just about everything. We all know it has hundreds of preset tones, drums, songs etc... This is just the tip of the iceburg.
You must know that you need a pedal with this amp to be effective. I use the Line 6 FBV express. The best thing to use it for is practice. I take songs that our band plays and will record a rythm track, and then can play my leads over it. Works great. Also if your working on a new song or arrangement, you can have your buddy play and sing into the amp, record it, take it home and practice to it. Next time you play together you will have the arrangement and song down, and probably be ahead of your buddies in knowing the material.
The usefulness is endless. Buy this AMP!!!!

The amp over all is very good. Having so many dials, you can really make many different sounds. I cant quite get the heavy fuzz sound i really like, but i havent experimented with it nearly enough. there are so many different things you can do. the built in tacks are recorded so you cant slow down or speed up the tempo and the recorded songs to jam too arent the gratest but its still fun if no one wants to jam and you gotta wing it yourself. although a lot of the drum tacks are pretty decent. pretty loud.

I know the naysayers will tell you that
you can't get all those features in an
amp, WRONG!!! I've heard the critics and
unless you can afford to carry a Marshall Plexi, Fender Twin, and a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier this is the next best thing. Truly a goundbreaker!
Trust me, the sounds are as good as they say. Something for EVERY style of music,not just rock. Line 6 is the BEST at ampmodeling. My Les Paul and Strat both sound equally great with the settings,and I'm sure most guitars will. You can dial in the cleanest of tonesto the thickest of distortions, add in some effects and it will only
stimulate the creativity in you. Play
along with just the drums for a freeform
jam and let the ideas flow or with the
preset gong patterns to hone your
chops. The cool thing is that when you
use the song presets they perfectly
match your guitar tone to that style
of music. Recording, overdubbing, and
undoing unwanted tracks is a snap. I
found you'll have to do very little
tweaking with this amp, but if you
have to it's just a matter of
turning a knob. Haven't used the XLR
inputs or outputs,you can run this
through a recording setup if you choose
to. They also set the presets to decades,songs, and artist. You'll be sureto find something to your liking! I'vehad this three weeks and see an improvementalready. No matter what level you're at you'll find this the BEST tool for your technique!
The loops are A+! You could almost play this by yourself at a club and jam and sound like a pro! I disagree with the people who say this is merely a practice amp. This thing cranks for a small club and for most bigger venues you'd mic your amp anyhow. If I was still playing out I would forgo all the pedalboards and processing and just use the Spider Jam!
The only criticism I have is that I wish
the display were a little bigger, but not
a major concern. Whether you're looking
to improve your playing or just want a
versativle amp that's reasonably priced,
this amp is for you!
