On the heels of Spider III,
the number one selling amp line in the US, Spider IV
redefines what is sonically possible from modeling amplifiers.
Spider IV amplifiers deliver a truly evolved playing experience.
They'll surprise with the way they respond to a player's touch and
the way the guitar jumps from the amp with a tube-like feel and distortion. The amp
really sings. On top of that, we've got over 500 presets to get you started
and some flat out wonderful new effects and features. We had a blast
getting some of our favorite players to dial in presets for Spider IV,
amazing players of all styles from Johnny Marr, Steve Stevens and Lee Ritenour
to bands like Hawthorne Heights, Slipknot and Minus The Bear
to studio giants like Tim Pierce, David Torn and Pete Anderson.
We'd bring amps to them, send amps out on the road to them or we'd tackle them
when they came by the offices. We managed to get over 300 presets to inspire your playing.
We also included around 200 presets based on some of the greatest guitar
songs of all time, "Master of Puppets", "Back In Black",
"Whole Lotta Love", "Purple Haze", "Crazy Train" and lots more. There really
is something in here for everyone and it's yours at the touch of a button.
Spider IV 15 and 30 each have a perfectly distilled
collection of go-to amp tones that guitarists absolutely
depend on. Go from sweet, sparkly cleans to
molten lead tones along with a palette of crucial effects all in a
box that's small enough to stick under desk or bed. Don't let their little size
fool you, these guys really rock. Along with their bigger brothers they also
have a 3/4 closed back cabinet that really moves air.
Spider IV 75, 120, 150 and
HD150 include 16 of the best sounding models
we've ever put in an amp model. We've worked really hard across the board
to up the ante with some beautiful new cleans that sound and
feel amazing, some edge of crunch mid gain tones that capture
everything we love about playing with an amplifier that's just on
the edge of breaking up and some incredibly musical high gain tones
that really blaze.
We've got
some really exciting new features in Spider IV. One of them is a built
in looper called Quick Loop. It features 14 seconds of looping
time and can be operated from the front panel or integrates
perfectly with one of our FBV Shortboard or Express pedals.
If you've been a little scared of looping in the past, don't be afraid of this one. It's really
fun and it's really easy to use.
We have a couple of amazing new pitch
effects in Spider IV, Smart Harmony and
Pitch Glide. Smart Harmony is an intelligent pitch
shifter. It lets you choose your key, your scale and your interval.
It lets you set your mix level. It tracks amazingly
well and it will have you soaring with dual guitar lines in no time.
The Pitch Glide effect integrates perfectly with our FBV Shortboard
Express mkII for some incredibly fun pitch effects. We
even included a whole category of pitch presets to get you started.
Then, once you're comfortable you can go in and customize your tool kit to add a whole new
level of expressiveness to your playing. This thing is really fun.
Spider IV 75, 120, 150 and HD150
all come loaded with 20 great sounding smart fx.
We've included such must-have effects as spring and plate reverbs,
digital and tape echo delays, chorus, phaser and ***.
We've also included some really fun stuff like auto wah,
multi-head and reverse delays, compressor and fuzz pie.
These effects all sound great and it's easy to dial in a great
sounding effect using just one ***. The wide palette of smart
fx delivers an incredibly broad range of colors and textures.
Expanded routing options let you create any sound you can dream up.
But we didn't stop there, we wanted to give you the ability
to completely customize your sound. So every effect in
Spider IV 75 and up is completely editable.
giving you access to up to six parameters per effect including
the ability to place the effect pre or post amp model.
Our larger display makes editing a breeze, giving your imagination
a terrific canvas to explore the possibilities.
For total control of your effects and presets and to take full
advantage of all the power that's in a Spider IV, the FBV mkII
foot controllers are a must. Using an FBV Shortboard mkII
to loop on the fly or to do a dramatic pitch glide is worth the price
of admission, but you'll come to depend on it to kick on the tuner, turn your
effects on and off or to run through your band's setlist with your own
presets. Available in three sizes to match all the Spider IVs,
the FBV series of foot controllers are a perfect addition to your arsenal.
To get the whole story, you have to spin around a Spider IV amplifier.
Each one has a built in tuner, four channel buttons
and a wide variety of crucial inputs and outputs.
Spider IV is crafted to sound great. All of our pain-staking sound
design gets loaded into a brand new 3/4 closed back cabinet
and then in most cases connected to a custom Celestion speaker that delivers a
tight low end and a punch that really cuts through the band. When the band
isn't around, plug your mp3 player into the 1/8" jack and jam
or practice to your own tunes. Use the direct recording headphone
out when the kids are asleep or when you want to lay down some guitar tracks
direct, no mic needed. We are extremely proud of the look
sound and feel of Spider IV amplifiers. Every one of them is extremely
versatile and an incredible value. Finding your tone is easy
with handmade artist and song presets and tons of amazing
effects, all from the industry leader and pioneers of amp modeling.
