Members thinkpad20 Posted September 16, 2008 Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 Look man, don't try to get your Spider III to sound like Metallica. First of all an amp in a room is never going to sound like Metallica does on record, because it's just a different ball game. Secondly, Metallica does not play Spider IIIs. They play Mark IIC+s, and VH4s, and TriAxis + Strategy 500s... all rigs that range upwards of a couple grand. Just find an amp that can get a distortion sound that you like. In my opinion that's not going to happen with a Spider III; they are horrible amps (once again, in my opinion). On the other hand, there are plenty of good options such as the Fender Roc Pro, Marshall Valvestate 8100, Peavey Bandit, Ampeg VH-140c, all of which are priced similarly or cheaper than a Spider III.

Members TheEsupremacy Posted September 16, 2008 Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 If you have been on this forum a month and still own a Spider III I have zero sympathy for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skull2shred27 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 Dude, I'm a beginner and trying to get better. I'm going to start off with pretty cheap stuff and work my way up with better stuff. Also, I'm trying to save up some money so when I'm good enough I'm going to buy better stuff.

Members skull2shred27 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 Yeah, I saw your post thinkpad20. But I'm just into practicing right now, then later on like I said, I'm going to buy better equpiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm just into practicing right now, then later on like I said, I'm going to buy better equpiment. You could get a vh-140c really really really cheap. Like the same price as the spider.

Members gsteph22 Posted September 16, 2008 Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 The Spider III should have a metallica present. The kids wouldn't buy one if it didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angry Grimace Posted September 16, 2008 Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 It's very easy to get the Metallica sound on any amp that has both "gain" and "mid" knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skull2shred27 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 It only has a "Enter Sandman" Preset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marshalldude Posted September 16, 2008 Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 Skull2shred27 I wouldn't worry to much about tone in your stage of playing. Just get a decent enough tone and PRACTICE! I played with a fender peace of crap for almost a year before i moved on. I am sure your spider has better toanz than that piece of garbage. Anyways if your are set on getting the "metallica" tone out of it you will find you will fall short. Just save up and get a decent tube combo and a boost, it will get you alteast 80% there.

Members skull2shred27 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 Yeah, I don't use that preset. I use the Crunch channel and I tweaked it to what I like. Practice is what I'm really into right now. I just want to get better at speed because I get tired easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thinkpad20 Posted September 16, 2008 Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 I'm just wondering why you made a post about getting a certain tone, only to get advice on said question, then to ignore said advice and post a second thread of the same topic, and then to ignore further advice, and ultimately say you are more focused on practicing than tone. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skull2shred27 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2008 Well just reading this got me thinking and I should be more concerned on practice than tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
