Whenever i play it on insane distortion, it always gives me slight crackle and picks up the most minute sounds from other strings if i play lead. When it does this it makes and it makes a very electronic synthetic sound when it fades out of the note, which happens to be quite fast. I have been looking around and no one else seems to be having anything like this and im just wondering if its something im doing, my amp, or possibly even my guitar or pick ups
SOURCE: amp turns on but no sound even with diff guitars and cords
Hi Dan
I wish I could just say what to fix, but you can not do this at home. Line 6 is a great amp and worth the time taking it down to the music shop , to be looked at an give you a repair estimate. good luck keep on rocking in the free world. DFD

The post at this site might help:http://line6.com/community/message/59307 Also this chart if you don't have it:http://bx.line6.com/spiderii/pdf/spider2_settings.pdf Try doing the reset first and if that doesn't work try contacting them. Did this help?

You have analyzed the problem... with the strings muted, the unit is quiet... that means the problem is with the guitar or cable picking up the noise. Move the guitar around near other things to search out the source which is probably magnetic fields... orient the guitar differently to sniff for the source. OFTEN lamp dimmers generate higher frequency components that can couple into the guitar pickups. The problem is fairly common.
You likely are in an area that has magnetic fields. Also you may have the settings on the amp that accentuates the noise. Eliminating this noise, especially at low levels, can be difficult if you have devices like flourescent lights that have magnetic ballasts.
You might also try running a different source into the amp such as a walkman player to verify the audio can be cleanly amplified. If that works, then the amp is OK.

Sounds like it could be a noise gate setting and your low E is quite loud, therfore opening the noisegate easier. Try lowering the threshold.
