Tone settings from cleanest to insane

Compiled by Bob Farmer

LINE 6 SPIDER JAM TONE SETTINGS ARRANGED FROM CLEANEST TO INSANE
Also for JM4 Looper

This is a very useful PDF file that you can download and print. It lists all the built-in tones going from the cleanest to the most distorted and provides spaces for you to add your own settings and notes.

Version: February 28, 2009

  1. The concept here is to list the tones from the cleanest to the most insane. This is more useful than any alphabetical list because all of the tones are grouped together by tone and amp characteristics, so if you're looking for a clean sound you can scroll through all the clean sounds one after the other and save the ones you like to the User Presets. Then you can scroll through the User Presets even faster and narrow your search some more. However, for each amp model, there can be variations within that model, so a Clean Green tone (e.g., #273, NO MATTER WHAT) might be just as fuzzy as say a crunchier amp model. And there are some Insane Red tones that are very clean (#327 Style 90s Sultans of Swing).
  2. Spaces have been left for the user to enter default settings or changed versions. "Clock" refers to clock face (e.g., 2 = 2 o'clock). "Display" = portion of display (e.g. 50% = half the display bars). To see the settings for each tone for a longer period, wiggle the Channel Volume knob slightly and the LCD will keep the display up until you stop.
  3. Descriptions of amp tones are from the Line 6 Spider Jam manual, edited slightly.
  4. Each time the bank and/or ID changes, the first entries are highlighted, to make searching easier.

 

Songs, Loops and Tones

Bob has also compiled a list of all songs, drum loops and tones in the Spider Jam and JM4 Looper and made them into a PDF that you can print out for quick reference. Thank you Bob for providing this!
