Tone Controls
Drive is like the volume or gain knob on other amps; controls how much “dirt” you get in your sound.
Bass, Mid, and Treble controls are customized for each Amp Model to give you optimal tonal control.
Channel Volume
This control helps you balance the
volumes of different amp-and-effect
setups that you store in your Spider
III’s channels. See 10 for the low-
down on channels.
Channel Memories
Four programmable channels come pre-
loaded with great factory presets. These
buttons are also used when saving user
presets. See Saving for more information.
CD/MP3
Plug in any audio source and it feeds directly into the
Spider III’s speaker or headphones so you can jam
with your favorite music or drum machine. Use the
device’s output control to adjust its volume. Note:
Start with the volume on your device at it’s lowest
setting and bring it up to the volume you desire.
