Special Hidden Functions
When you select an Amp Model, Spider III
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 III with the Channel D button held. The auto-
selection is re-enabled next time you power up.
Want to know where your Spider III's controls are set
in the programmed channels? Hold – and keep holding
– the Tap button. Now, before you do anything else,
turn the Amp Models knob. This activates Spider III's
"Compare" mode. Now turn any knob other than Amp
Model and Master Volume, and the channel lights
will tell you whether you need to turn that knob up
(Channel A lights) or down (Channel D lights) to
match the stored setting. The Channel B & C lights
will be lit at the same time once the knob position
matches the stored setting exactly.
You can reset your Spider III’s programmable channels
to their factory-programmed states by holding down
the Channel A button as you turn on the power.
Warning: This will erase ALL custom sounds you
might have created. Ask yourself, “Do I really want to
do this?” If your answer is yes, then go for it!
