If you're already thinking "where are the preset settings" on the Line 6 Spider III, then don't leave, just keep reading.
After purchasing my Spider III as a part of a midlife crisis ( it was cheaper than a motorbike ), I thought... "This is a top piece of kit, pity the Pilot's Guide doesn't give more technical info about the settings, or indeed catalogue the built-in presets. Maybe I could compile my private this weekend." That was in November '07, I measured the final preset in March '08, at least now I am able to get on with my crisis and learn how to essentially play the guitar.
This is an informal try to catalogue the 403 preset values which can be selected on the Spider III Combo 75 and above, made up of 246 Artists + 156 Songs + one phantom preset, 05C. It is likely to contain many minor mistakes and probably 2 big ones for good measure.
READING THE PRESETS TABLES
The Bank name and Preset name are given as shown on the display of the amp.
The Amp model is represented by it's friendly name, followed by a single digit and a colour letter. Eg "Twin Twang 2G" indicating the second amp model with a green LED setting.
The values for Drive / Treble / Mid / Bass / Ch Vol / Reverb are in the range 00-99, they can be thought to be a %age of the total range, reasonably easy to interpret since the controls are marked in eleven radial positions which can be taken as 00 to ten. A table cost of "50" would be 5.0, top dead centre.
These values were derived using the "Comparison" feature of the amp, and are likely correct to + / - 2%, however values at the top end ( 90 - 99 ) have less definition, and should be less accurate.
