Smart Control FX:
Great amp tone is only part of a great guitar sound.
Effect processing – whether it’s stomp boxes or rack
gear – is also a big part of the story. Your Spider III
packs the power of several of these tone shapers in its
Smart Control FX section.
The delay knob gives you a trio of delay effect choices:
a standard delay, tape echo, and a sweep echo. The
modulation effect knob lets you choose between
chorus/flange, phaser, and tremolo, and for each of
these effects you can choose anything from a subtle
hint of processing to total tone-mangling overkill.
While turning the knob, Spider III adjusts all the
individual aspects of the effect automatically to give
you the range of sounds you're looking for, without
having to mess with multiple knobs and switches to
get your tone. So you can spend your time making
music instead.
Tap Button “Extra” Functions
The Tap Tempo button, in addition to setting the
speed of your delay effects, also lets you access a few
extra Spider III features: a Tuner, Distortion Boost and
a built-in Noise Gate (the tuner and the boost are also
accessible via the optional FBV Shortboard). When
you hold down the Tap Tempo button, you can use
some of Spider III’s knobs to access these extra features.
Tuner Mode
Press and hold the TAP button or TAP footswitch for
2 seconds or more and you get instant digital tuner.
The volume is muted during tuning so you won’t hear
anything coming out of the amp. Press any button to
exit Tuner Mode. If there is no FBV Shortboard
connected, the LCD on the front panel of the Spider
III will work as the tuner display.
