Showing you how you can record a track on the new Spider Jam. Here I have used the backing track “un-dead” with the rhythm guitar set to clean Fender Mex strat used, key is Am/C. Lead is on the insane channel with reverb and some tape delay (all from amp). Gibson Les Paul Custom Faded is used for lead then I switch to the Fender to show you the difference in sound, I actually prefer the later. Sorry the sounds not great as this was done with a camera phone so it’s picking up the string noise which sounds a bit “dead”.

I couldnt recommend this amp more its excellent for low level bedroom playing ( still proving a great sound ) Lets face it we cant all play valve amps at home we have neighbours !!

PS Snap jacks are the way to go if you have two guitars – they’re awesome. (saves you breaking the jack plugs!!)

It should be noted that this video doesn’t sound 1/4 as cool as it did in the room. Also, I’ve never sat down to learn how to play much AC/DC, but here it is anyway. Reinhardt CRANKED!
