LINE 6 Spider IV 75 [19/33] Smart fx customization

SmartFX

4•3

Reverb isn’t in the SmartFX group, but it also features a primary and secondary model,

as illustrated below. Like the SmartFX, you select the model by turning the Presets knob

when the Reverb model name is displayed in the LCD. The difference is, the bar graph for

Reverb indicates its Mix level, which matches the Reverb knob position when you turn it.

Smart FX Customization

In addition to editing FX in a preset, as outlined in Chapter 3 Editing, you can also

customize the individual parameters of one effect per FX knob, so that when you select

that effect in a preset, your settings will be recalled. Customization settings are stored with

each preset. When a SmartFX model has been customized, its LED will light up amber

instead of Red or Green. Here’s an example of what you might see on the front panel:

• FX1: Auto Wah

[Red = primary]

• FX2: U-Vibe

[Green = secondary]

Since the FX3 LED is amber, you know it’s been customized. To determine whether the

FX3 model is Tape Echo (primary) or Multi-Head (secondary), you can either touch the

FX3 knob to wake it up or press the Presets button to enter Edit Mode and the model name

will be displayed. Here’s what the FX3 Edit screen would look like for the Mix parameter:

• FX3: Tape Echo or Multi-Head

[Amber = customized]

Notice the knob graphic instead of a swoosh graphic - this Mix has been customized.
