can I use this to switch between saved amps or saved amp settings in garageband? i.e. if I want to switch between one with distortion and one clean

It's a midi controller, so you can assign it to anything in garage band that is midi controllable. My educated guess is yes.

Its a 20 second looper that has about 4 overdubs so you build a sound. But no, there are not seperate channels. You can build or use a single sound and then turn off the looped sound or on by a single tap if the pedal. But you could not record seperate sounds and switch between them.

It works very well with GarageBand. Just follow the directions and you'll have it running in no time.

Well, yes, you can but it has a bunch (50 or more?) presets and a lot of them are user presets. You can switch between presets with the footswitch and can assign. say, 3 or 4 effects you want to use for a given song and switch back and forth between them with the footswitch. Sorry for inexactness but I'm at work.

Although I don't have Garage Band (I use Cakewalk's Sonar X3), I have very happy with how the Roland A-300 works. I decided to buy this over some other MIDI controllers because of its compatibility with Sonar, and after talking to Tech experts at Cakewalk about other controllers. Recommend that you do a lot of research and try out the controllers at a local music shoppe like Guitar Center, Sam Ash, etc. Good luck!

You can access all effects and amp modeling but of course having a footswitch to change patches is a great value. One thing you can't do from the amp is access the looper. This looper is a great effect to use, just try it a while to get used to how it works and you can layer tracks in no time. Download the manual and you can learn more all about it.

it sounds true to whatever your original sound is, which of course, depends on your amp or your sound man. It works great for single loops...I've never used multiple loops. hope this helps.

Same response as the others -I would recommend against that. Unless the switches are "break before make" - meaning the switches break their connection to one output before making contact with the other output - you will be shorting together two amplifiers. IF (underlined) you only switch from one amplifier to the other WHEN (underlined) both amps are turned off, you might be OK. A bit risky, though. All it takes is one time to forget while one or both amps are turned on. There are AB switches specifically designed to do what you want to. I would suggest buying one of those. I know that Niles makes one. Same response as the others -I would recommend against that.

It does have that option. There is a quick switch button on the front of the device that swaps between the two. I did attempt to use this feature once with another amp for stereo but it didn't seem to get a signal (my amp is extremely unreliable and fairly old)

You can use a Compressor pedal, Boost pedal, or Distortion pedal in front of the Spider Jam going into the guitar input even though it has it's own distortion channels. When I use a distortion pedal in the guitar input I always make sure no matter which channel I use that it's set in a way that it's clean so that all or most of the distortion is coming from my pedal and not the Spider Jam. You can also do the same thing going into the Aux input which has it's own independent EQ, Compressor, Reverb, and Delay settings. This makes this combo amp very versatile. I also use the HD 500 Pedal in front of this amp and it sounds great. I've been playing "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood and I get the tone I need from this amp, it's awesome, IMO. You don't have to use presets and I strongly suggest you play around with these devices and create your own patches. Oh and BTW there are no silly questions when it comes to sound processing equipment, ask a lot of questions that's what I do. Use the internet and search for your questions you may be surprised that you find good information. Line 6 has a Forum that you can join and ask questions to people that use their devices.

Nope. Its just a controller.You can plug-and-play it to a dedicated synthesizer, or a Mac, or iPad, or iPhone with garage band or lesser app.

Using it thru ipad and garage band u can use some enhancement, reverb, echo, or guitar model amps, then record it, as far as i know, mixer is not recommended in recording , mostly its used in live, in my own opinion.

Not sure why you would want to do that. There are many settings on your mixer and recording software. Did you use a pre-amp? This microphone is designed to compress vocals, but you can adjust how much compression by the settings on the fornt of the microphone. I used the neutral setting ( - ) and zero ( 0 ) for all my clean vocals, my screams, and my harmonies. You can check out what my band Soundstill recorded by visiting www.soundstillband.com and listen to all songs from album "Before The Sunset Ends". Thanks!

It works when it wants to even when setup properly. Running Win 8.1 you have to manually select the audio configuration of each device, and set this one as the default for audio input and output when you want to use it. However, it still doesn't always work or doesn't switch back to my amp when I want to use my surround sound afterwards.

glad you asked that. you need too much. soo much i dont even know.I never got it working, had to stick with my original. Make sure you get one with a usb if its for garageband. Other than that you need a whole program.

Just remember to keep your volume controls in the recording program (Final Vinyl or Garage Band) set to medium loudness and you'll be fine. Anything higher than medium will create distortion. Hope this helps.

Can't say about pre-amp, but works directly with Apple Mac Garage Band program, without any other drivers or software. Just plug and play.
