Line 6 Spider Jam: Amp Models

The Line 6 Spider Jam comes pre-loaded with the tones that made the Spider III family so popular: 200+ artist-based presets, 150+ song-based presets and 12 fully adjustable Line 6 original amp models.

Just like most of us, each Line 6 original amp model has a light side and a dark side. Or, in some cases, a dark side and darker side…

Clean:

Red LED - Select this Amp Model and adjust the tone controls to get crisp, amazing clean tones, great warm jazz tones, and all the high-end shimmer you'll need with a generous amount of bottom end.

Glassy:

Green LED - Line 6 developed this Amp Model to emulate those late 60's and early 70's clean tones. It started off as an Amp Model based on a 1973 Hiwatt Custom 100. Line 6 extended the tone control range and tightened up the low end.

Twang:

Red LED - This Amp Model draws on Line 6's analysis of mid 60's Fender amps, including the blackface '65 Twin Reverb and blackface '64 Deluxe Reverb. Line 6 wanted an Amp Model that has that classic glassy high end tone, with some snap and bite.

Twin Twang:

Green LED - This Amp Model is based on a number of vintage tweed amps. Line 6 evaluated a '53 Fender tweed Deluxe Reverb, '58 Fender tweed Bassman and a '60 Gibson Explorer to create a swingin' Rockabilly tone.

Blues:

Red LED – Based on a mix of a'’65 Marshall JTM-45, a '58 Fender Bassman, a '63 Fender Vibroverb and a Supro, this Amp Model slides between gritty swamp-infected cleans to syrupy smooth, walloping drive tones.

Class A:

Green LED - This Amp Model is based on a fawn Vox AC-30 amplifier with an updated and expanded tone control circuit. Line 6 wanted to capture that early British pop rock tone that the Beatles and the Stones are so well known for.

Crunch:

Red LED - This sound was crafted during Line 6's studies of the '68 Marshall® Plexi 50 Watt. This type of Marshall® amp was used by a number of early metal bands. Crunch provides a wider range of tone control settings than the original Marshall® amp had.

On Fire:

Green LED - This Amp Model is based on a '68 Marshall Plexi 100 watt with a few added extras; The combination of a Variac and the jumped input channels creates that infamous brown sound.

Metal:

Red LED - This Amp Model is based on the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. Use this Amp Model to get a tight and punchy, high gain Metal sound.

Spinal Puppet:

Green LED - This sound was created to be an aggressive high gain Amp Model with a unique Mid control that will sweep though an entire spectrum of tone on one knob. The Mid knob for this Amp Model changes the character of the distortion. When set to minimum, the distortion exhibits Fuzz pedal characteristics. When the Mid is set to noon, it mimics the creamy modern high gain amp tones. And when the Mid knob is turned up to max, it's very much reminiscent of that Class A sound.

Insane:

Red LED - This model is Line 6's "dialed in for shredding" version based on the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier red channel. It combines the intensity and impact of Metal Red, but delivers more midrange and teeth for that bone-crushing, brain piercing insane grind.

80's Solo:

Green LED - Line 6's goal with Insane was to provide you with as much input gain distortion as possible short of complete meltdown. You get an obscene helping of distortion, while still retaining tonal definition and character.
