Line 6 Spider Jam amp - improvisation and recording using Fender Strat and Gibson les Paul guitars

Showing you how you can record a track on the new Spider Jam. Here I have used the backing track "un-dead" with the rhythm guitar set to clean Fender Mex strat used, key is Am/C. Lead is on the insane channel with reverb and some tape delay (all from amp). Gibson Les Paul Custom Faded is used for lead then I switch to the Fender to show you the difference in sound, I actually prefer the later. Sorry the sounds not great as this was done with a camera phone so it's picking up the string noise which sounds a bit "dead".

I couldnt recommend this amp more its excellent for low level bedroom playing ( still proving a great sound ) Lets face it we cant all play valve amps at home we have neighbours !!

PS Snap jacks are the way to go if you have two guitars - they're awesome. (saves you breaking the jack plugs!!)

Did you record the lead part as well? Can you do that on the Spider Jam?

@jnapier99 I suppose you could - but you would only be able to record one loop, otherwise you would record lead on lead ! I just used to lay down a loop and then play over it endlessly. I don't own the Spider Jam now (sold it ) and I use a mixer instead as it gives me more dynamics. I just uploaded a load of backing tracks onto my ipod and play them straight in to achieve the same thing. Spider jam was just too darn loud for where I live !!

i have some question bro! can i use my guitar and a bass together? but not to record, just for jamming with a bass player... or if i can do the same but with the 3 thing at the same time, guitar, bass and mic...next question, how long can a i record a phrase loop? have they a limit apart to the 25 min? or can i record for exalmple a hole song (intro, verse, chorus, final) and then loop it to record the bass?

@LeonardoVerde I've sold the amp now but yes, you can play with two signal imputs. It's a nice amp but was just too loud for me - I prefer using effects and running through a p.a.

What kind of recording equipment are you using to generate the download file you place on Youtube???? Nice playing, enjoyed it, thanks.

This was a phone using the inbuilt recorder. My latest video of a solo round patience (gnr) was done using a lumix LX3 camera. Key is to get the amp loud and the balance right. Glad you liked it.

your computer should play wav files. but if it doesn't you can convert the .wav file to an mp3 file easily enough. loads of audio converters to download free online

How do you save the songs you've recorded onto an CD card so that you can listen to them back? when I do it, it comes up as a WAV file or something I think and I can't play it back to listen to it on my computer.
