On any channel I've begun to get a intermittant

On my line 6 spider III 15w guitar amplifier using any channel & with no effects, I've begun to get a intermittant clicking through the amp. I have checked all external wiring and all is sound. The clicking contiues when nothing is connected. It sound like a stactic click/pop.

If this has a digital effects processor read on.., I had a SIMILAR problem on a Behringer GX110.

The electrolytic filter cap for the 5 volts of the DSP effects had gone bad. The 5 volts was dipping when the DSP reset and it would repeatedly reset causing a clicking at about once a second. 50 cent part fixed it. The part is a little undersized electrically so is more prone to failure in the unit I have.

That particular one had the DSP as a seperate board with its own 5 volt supply from the main transformer.

Why does my Line 6 Spider 3 15w amp randomly go to flange?

Provided that you're not using any external devices, and plugging the guitar directly into the amp, this sound solely like an internal switching problem. Meaning...it will require service. Chips can get faulty like that sometimes. If you're using any external pedals, remove them and see if it happens. If not...the pedal(s) are to blame.

I purchased a Line 6 amp about 3 yrs. ago and has barely been used. I went to use the tuner and it would not work along with the B channel also doesn't work. Could someone give me an answers as to why...

I suspect that switch contacts are to blame... often the very weak contacts on jacks that are for inserting effects, for example, get oxides on the contacts that forward the signal from the preamp to the power amp block the signal. The quality of many of the jacks used on these amps is really poor.

Line 6 Spider III 15W- My Bass and Drive knobs arnt working... my mid and treble seems to be fine plus all my channels and effects but just those two knobs...and its buggin the **** out of me.... any...

resolder the three legs of the pots back down to the pcb. usually the treble feeds the bass, then from bass to mid then to ground. so if treble and mid are working its hard to imagine why the bass wouldnt be working. i would try to resolder, as you might have cold solder joints. keep it unplugged, pull off the knobs, open it up, remove the pcb screws and pull/flip out the pcb and resolder all of the pots.

Don't need a repair. I need a manual. know where I

Line 6 has the manuals on their site.

The Spider III 15 is in two parts: part 1 and part 2
The first is the manual, the second is the sample settings.

Both are PDF files.

I have a spider III 15W amp that has worked for a year. plugged in last night and it's getting power but no sound. Not even a hum from the speaker. checked everything and it's definitely the amp....

Try disconnecting the speaker from the amp with the amp unplugged from your power. Never work on an amp when its plugged in unless you know how dangerous it is. Check for resistance across the speaker terminals with a volt ohm meter to see if you have a blown speaker. Thats the first thing to look for. You should here a hiss or a low hum when your amp is on and you plug a guitar cord into the input without the guitar. Check those two things first.
