- In this video I finally get to check out a Line 6 Spider combo amp, I keep hearing that these amps are pretty bad yet I see a lot of people using them on youtube videos.
The model I review and demo is the Line 6 Spider III 30 Watt Solid state guitar combo amp with a 12" Celestion speaker.

#line6 #spider #guitarmanifesto
It's a brilliant little amp. Class for metal tones, clean channel is good too the reverb is great.
i wasnt huge fan pf the spyder 2, the spyder 3 was okay, but the spyder 4 & 5 and the spyder valve are awesome and line 6 had other decent modeling amps that were unfairly thrown under the bus
I swear on my life that my spider 3 has something weird about it that sounds so bad ass, it has super clean tones and some very heavy and deep tones. Various guitarists have bought line 6 amps because they thought they would sound like mine does. I cannot recreate it on other spider amps, even the new models. The one on this video doesn't sound like mine either, I guess I got really really lucky.
Awesome luck I say
Broken in speakers make a difference. Ive played on my line 6 spider 3 75 w for like 10 years and it sounds nice and beefy. I play my Kiesel Vader through it
same here, I own a spider jam since 2010 which is quite the same tec as spider iii and i really have the feeling that it sound so special, that i dont recognize in any other amp i've heard online or on site
4 years later, but i just wanted to say i agree! The newest spiders arent that great but 3 really did perfect what could be done with a digital signal, i have the 150W single and its probably better than some of my other amps. perfect for practice and i wouldn't mind gigging with it if necessary
I always felt people were too harsh on this amp. It’s a decent practice amp.
Agreed it's great for what it was made for 🤘🎸
Sounds trendy to hate on them don’t understand
I had one. I had enough with the issues, everytime you would change the channel to gain it would do a quick blip like it was all the way up on gain and volume and it was unusable for show applications. The treble shit quality was ear piercing. Only reason I had it was because it was affordable at the price and loud enough as a teen
Nice playing, bro. Can't see any fault in owning that Line 6. Probably good enough for shoe gaze and post-rock guitarists. Decent for practice as well.
I quite liked it, for loud bands I guess the higher wattage models would work a lot better. Thanks bro 😎🎸👌
amps are easy to carry anywhere ua-cam.com/video/GiRhIv3kxuI/v-deo.html
I’ve used this amp for probably around fifteen years at this point, and never really understood why people think it’s so bad. I’m genuinely curious, I mean it’s not the best sounding amp, sure, it does everything I need it to, still works great after such a long time of use, and the tone is pretty easy to get sounding good with the eq. The only problem I’ve had is with switching between sounds, as the volume levels never seem to match. Where did it get it’s bad reputation from?
It's because too many people are brainwashed by channels like Andertons who always bang on about how good the tone is on heavily overpriced and overated boutique hipster amps.
To be fair for what it is and the price range it's a perfectly good little practice amp
Picking one up soon for a practice amp for a few reasons. 1 it blends well with a home stereo (tubes tend to stand out and not mix as well). I jam this way often. 2 it matches any style of playing even if it's not dead on or "professional." 3 it's loud. A big plus given how affordable they are. 3. When people see it they make fun of you, then when you outplay them they get butthurt.
well said couldn't agree more
I’ve been using this amp for years, and I love it, so I don’t understand all the negative chatter about these amps either!!
@@chrislindstrom257 it's a good option. They are priced so well and do so much. Yes a vox ac15 will sound better but you'll need a lot of pedals and that is a different world a very expensive.
I respect the Revolution Radio banner you have there.
For £40 you can’t go wrong with this. I think you scored on this. The effects are wild. Really cool amp for the money.
It's a great little amp for the money goes to show there are some awesome budget amps out there for no money 😎
It's a better amp than people say, usually needs a fair bit of eq to remove harshness when recorded, but most amps do anyway. its brilliantly versatile for beginners and young people in bands. It has its purposes.
I liked it pretty decent little practice amp for no money
Firstly all such amps are not a solution to not being able to play - practice makes a huge difference to what you can get from an amp. I have always found that with thought and effort you can get any amp to produce at least two or three decent settings as long as the speaker is up to scratch - a 12" Celestion is ! . Most people get trapped into the effects before exploring the basic sounds - clean and overdrive. For the money you paid this is a bargain If it was cr*p it would not be a bargain at any price. Good purchase.
I agree all amps have some use, I have heard a lot of hate towards the LIne 6 Spiders so wanted to hear it for myself as most peoples opinions are not what I agree with when it comes to budget gear :)
To be honest for what it is it's a great little practice amp with great cleans and a punchy overdrive, I was impressed with it
oh and effects people get way to carried away with them I agree
I urge you to try a 120 watt spider 3. Ebay has some deals. Without the pedal function mind you there's less you can do, but with its onboard drive boost and noise gate, it cuts and mixes well. I dunno, maybe I got a modded one. Can groove with cleans and burn with pantera. Expected to waste 80 bucks but I still play it to this day. Not so much since getting BIAS fx, but more than I thought.
I got the 75w version off Gumtree for £50 - the screen doesn't work so I can't navigate the different amp models, but the clean/twang/crunch etc and the delay/reverb etc all work fine.
I've seen a lot of negative comments but I'm very pleased for £50!
Great amp for the price range, great choice of effects
I really think is a good amp for practice and some small bar gigs for playing clean tones is great and the distortion is not the best but i love the way it stays quiet not like other amps that distorted are fkin noisy as hell, i like the PEAVEY VYPYR also and have one
I forgot to say I have the amp line 6spider 3 30w
I’ve got a spider jam 3 75 watt and a spider 4 120. I absolutely love mine and I play several types of music. They even have an on board tuner. Can’t beat them for the price as far as I’m concerned!
Ooh nice yeah totally agree they're awesome amps for the money 🤘🎸
PAID MINE 200 BUCKS USED AND I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY :) PERFECT FOR OLD ROCK/METAL AND HAVE A NICE CLEAN TONE ! ITS SURELLY NOT A 2000$ AMP BUT FOR THE PRICE IM AMAZED
I did quite a lot of PC recording with mine, just the headphone jack straight into my little mixer as I remember, and it worked great. I even used it as a vocal effects processor plugging a mic into it lol.
In this very moment I’m on my way to pick on of the Spider 6 up to have as an practice amp at home. And later this week a Peavey Vypyr 30 lands at home to. So next week will be a blast. I also have the Spark Positive Grid practice amp, but this will be fun to use.
Sounded good clean. The distortion, I wasn't the biggest fan of but for a practice amp it was ok. But the best thing is you got it for a bargain price. At £45 it's a great practise amp as long as your not using the high gain sounds, the clean on the edge of break up sounded good. I have a Blackstar HT Studio 20 and use it on the overdrive channel with the tiniest bit of drive that's almost not noticeable just to get that Nirvana sound.
It's good if someones after a cheap little practice amp with effects and a few channels.
Ah nice I'll try and get some Blackstar amps
The Meat Manifesto Yeah, the HT series are there bread and butter. I'd recommend you try the HT 5R it's a 5 watt tube amp at an affordable price. You could probably get one used for around £150, around £120 if your lucky.
I'll keep an eye out, when I was playing in bands I always used a Vox AC30 I wasn't a fan of Blackstar for the big amps, and we got offered to endorsed by them :)
The general consensus is everything after the spider 2 is good, IV owned this amp and I thought it was pretty decent, wide range of tones/effects, decent speaker and more than loud enough for playing at home
Yeah from what I've heard from this one they're pretty decent, the overdrive as with most solid states lets it down but it is a 30w model
@@theguitarmanifesto there's also a few hidden modes on the amp, can't remember off the top of my head but sure you could find em on utube
Yeah I read there was some hidden stuff
I have the 3 and and i tune it up to get some pretty clear sounds and thats the main trick to this amp is fine tuning u cant just go to a preset well some of them are decent but yeah definitely gotta set all the knobs and then save your own tuned 4 presets!
They are not a bad amp, certainly useable and a lot of fun
Anyone had any experience with a Line 6 Spider Jam 75w. I am thinking buying a s/h one prices vary from approx £100 to £175 for the better condition ones. I think when new they were about £400. Are they decent sound and build quality.
I needed a bedroom amp, so picked this up new in 2008. I have pedals so just play them through the clean channel and its all good.
And loud.
Great little amps
I have the line 6 micro spider. It sounds muddy when I use crank the distortion all the way, especially if the volume is too high. I've found ways around it, I cut the bass out, crank treble and miss all the way, and tune guitar to F. Even so it's still not great, I might replace it.
Great amp for the price if you can find a used one in good condition!
Yeah clean ones are hard to come by
Had the 15 Watt version as my first amp. Now all the nostalgia is coming up! I remember that I never played the "Clean" channel or the "Insane" Channel. From looking at it now I see that it's not that good as I thought it is as a 14 year old. What do you think about the Crunch channel with the Drive turned all the way down? That's what I played for a looong time. I Liked that. And a little trick for the amp: if you turn the Drive up while holding the Tuner Button, you change to the More Distorted Mode. Or if you do it the other way, the Distorted Mode turns off.
Nice video by the way!
haha it's ok for a cheap little practice amp, I never played the crunch with the drive down I'll try it before I move it on.
I see a video about that gain trick looks good.
Glad you liked the video :)
It is very nice to see your channel growing. Kinda makes me happy to see how more and more Subs come to you!
Thanks mate really appreciate it you were there from near the beginning 💪👌
No problem dude! I think I found you when you had like 200 Subs or so. Keep on rockin'!
That's so cool, always bro 😎🎸👌
The IV 75 Watt & V are the good ones actually very good
@Larry 22VTwin I have a 150W 2x12. 75W in each Speaker. It is better than any AMP I've ever had.
is there any way you could post a tutorial of the chords you play in these demonstrations? I know they are simple but they keep everything interesting and I would love to learn them
I'll see what I can do bro 😎🎸👌
Is it not neil young old man chords?
I discovered that you can actually run your laptop/tablet/phone/interface into the AUX/MP3 input (just disable cab simulation on your amp sim). I also ran a line from my Orange Crush 15R practice amp headphone output into the AUX/MP3 input and it sounds absolutely incredible.
Honestly, I urge you to try it
Ooh nice good to know
How do you disable cab simulation ?
John Thompson thanks i gotta try that !
HEY ROB I USE A LINE 6 SPIDER ON ALL MY VIDEOS AND GIGS !!!
Ah awesome, which model do you have?
It always amuses me when I read comments from 'Guitarists' that criticise and hate this amp stating all kinds of stupid comments. If we had something like this when we started playing guitar years ago we would have been ecstatic. This is a sweet little combo with access to some great sounds. Just need a little patience to dial them in and appreciate this revolutionary little beast
I have to agree
Its usely the ones who complain about these Amps don't know how to dial anything in in the first place
True story 🎸💯
hard to balance the volumes between the channels.
Who the hell thinks this is a bad amp? I've had mine for a year or so and it sounds GREAT.
I have a spider v20 it came with a beginner package. Has there is little instruction in the manual or on the internet on how to use it, it as taken many months to work it out. First, turn all the knobs on the front panel to minimum set the master about 9 0clock to start with. Connect amp to your pc or whatever device you have. Open the spider remote app switch on the amp. I reinstalled from the app all amp models. Then individually adjusted from the app each of the amp settings. I find for me reduce the gain to at least 50% and the volume to at least 50% then do not touch any control knobs on the front panel other than master volume, reverb or drive. It now sounds good at all but absolutely maximum master volume.
My Spider 3 quit working shortly after the warranty expired. I replaced it with a Fender Mustang 3 years ago and it’s still going strong. I’ll never buy anything Line 6 again
Great video! I got this amp years ago and was impressed with it's versatility. In fact, I was so impressed that I picked up the Line6 Spider iv SpiderJam when it came out. It gets a lot of hate online, but I think it's mostly elitist snobbery. For the price you're getting an amp; looper; chorus, delay, flanger, reverb and a tuner. Oh, and a bunch (80+?) of pre-recorded drum beat and backing tracks. Oh, and you can vary the tempo/pitch of the beats and backing tracks. But wait, there's more. You also get hundreds of "tweak-able" preset tones based on dozens of styles and genres of music. And space to store 36 of your own personal preset tones. A great deal for somebody starting out, no? But equally serviceable for somebody jamming with buddies or playing clubs. For years I hauled a Boogie head and a couple Marshall 4x12 cabs all over hell's half-acre. And I remember doing soundcheck at my first serious gig in a big venue. The sound guy mikes up one of my Celestions. One. Brings up the fader on my guitar and pumps it through the house PA. Sounded huge! Filled the entire room! One speaker. As I got older, I eventually got tired of hauling around all those cabinets just because they "look" cool. And this Spider is still kicking ass after years of abuse. And when I post a vid of me playing, nobody ever comments on my tone... unless they can see my amp in the background. Do I think a good quality tube amp sounds better? Yes. But is the Spider Jam's (slight) compromise in tone, when you weigh in all the additional features (presets, fx, looper, etc), worth the price? Definitely. Without question. In an age when audio gear technology is evolving and advancing faster than ever, it's funny how the elitist hipster tone-snobs believe the best sound comes from old gear. Apply the same rational to another form of technology. If you had a buddy that loved movies and tv shows from the past and insisted that the only way to watch them was on one of those old, huge, box-like tv's with the curved screens, wouldn't you kind of laugh at them? Even if only to yourself, and maybe some other friends? Take it a step farther. Would you want to help them move that tv every weekend?
Love this amp....the foot switch makes life easier. Ppl complaining about this amp.....when I bought it it had a list of bands that used line 3....slipknot, Deftones etc......some top bands..Just need to know how to play the guitar somewhat and the amp in harmony. Get some Killa sounds from jt
I’m a beginner and just bought the v30 and for guitar I got a matte black epiphone sg
Nice starter setup 🎸👌🤘
The guitar world is full of snobs. You'll find them in every range of skill.
"Oh, you have a SQUIER...?" as they sniff and walk away before your pox infects them.
Same with amps. Some guy who plays thrash is going to lecture play other styles on how a modeling amp "sucks" and "only tubes give pure tone".
Best advice I got starting out was "ignore the snobs".
Hey! That was my first set up in like 2006! You'll get a lot out of it, amigo. Hope you're enjoying.
Everyone I know who has the Spider II seems to have it on phaser by default, and it sounds disgusting in my opinion. Am I right in saying every time you turn the amp on you need to wind the FX knob all the way up then down again just to get a normal clean tone? Is the spider III the same?
When I started playing in the 90’s, I would’ve killed for one of these amps. I don’t get the hate people have for these. They’re great for rhythm players!!! For lead work, you really need a tube amp though. A 50 watt Mesa 1x12 blew my Line 6 Spider 100w 2x12 out of the water. But for 90% of the time, this amp has all you need- and more.
I’ve always used line 6 but I’ve always had mad electronic issues also Sound drops &I have to reset knobs every time I change from mode to mode a plethora of things over the years all of the plastic input jacks tend to start to wear after a while and then obviously you have your wire issues once the input starts getting Loose the wires move round and so on
Good sound for a bargain but it’s like getting a pair of Payless shoes instead of going to footlocker can make it sound good but if anybody really looks close…
Perfect for the Black Metal !
sounded alright, plenty good enough for home use and just jamming with a few friends, have used worse.
Yeah it's a good little practice amp, was impressed with the clean channel had a nice punchy chime to it
@@theguitarmanifesto clean channel with a fav pedal or two, not a prob, built in effects sounds ok but we all have a fav pedal.
yep, it is what it is, it will never sound like a dumble or a jcm800 but a useable little practice amp it's got covered.
Yeah totally agree the tape delay and reverb were good I do like a tape delay, for me anything else has to be pedals.
The Spider IV and V get high Mark's the ones before them I hear are horrific if I was to buy one it would be the IV or V
is this good when partnered to multi fx pedal or analog pedals?
It'll sound better than standard effects
@@theguitarmanifesto thanks but what setting is good if i inserted from multi fx pedal to the amp?
@jlemuelDev clean and keep everything neutral
@@theguitarmanifesto thanks because ive bought a used second hand line 6 spider 2 30watt very cheap ill just mainly used it on our church ill just put a mic on maybe
I just got one of these 😬
Cool little amps
I started electric guitar on a Line 6 Spider. Honestly to me the problem wasn't the sound quality but the inconvenience of those knobs and the shit ton of garbage presets included. I never had the courage to buy and use a MIDI pedal to control the amp with my foot. I think it's possible to have a good sound for any genre with this amp but the controls feel painful and really not precise. I should have gone fore a more simple amp. I still use my LIne 6 Spider tho. It is good for practice actually, since there are a lot of effects and sound included. Great for practicing and exploring sound withtout having to plug lots of pedal.
i’m new to guitar and i like metal, should i pick up one of these for 20 bucks? you think it’s good for metal?
Did u get it?
You got a sweet deal on this amp for sure. I see a lot of these on sale in the U.S. for pretty cheap and I've been tempted but I have a Fender Champion 20 and it's a terrific amp. Cleans sounded ok and the reverb but the amp didn't wow me. Hey, loved that Hank Marvin song.
Yeah it's a good little amp for the price, the Fender Champion is a fine amp too, I do like my surf music
what song do you play when reverb kicks in? 5:30 - surfing?
Walk don't run
one thing i like on this amp is you dont need to much cable while recording it has good metal and clean tone.
What is it you play at 5:40?
Walk don't run by the ventures
It looks great I’m getting one of the seller has it still available on Facebook paying £45
Yeah go for it 💯🤘
,,,
I love this amp…
I don’t get why so many people hate on line6 . Yea it’s not a Marshall or fender tube but really it’s not a bad amp. I honestly only use the clean and gain channels. All other sounds come from my pedal board. But still it’s a decent amp. Just sounds like brand snobs who can’t play. Saw a video of a dude talking most shit on this amp and played it to “show you”. The only bad sound was him
Cork sniffing hipsters with a lot of built up self hate
My spyder 3 is absolutely the worst piece of crap I've ever had..I wouldn't even sell it to someone..
Line 6 are great Amps for gigs and practice
Agreed great amps
amps are easy to carry anywhere ua-cam.com/video/GiRhIv3kxuI/v-deo.html
Can pedals make it sound better in a clean channel?
A decent distortion pedal in front of the clean channel will probably yield better tone than the built in crunch/distortion.
Funny you should say that, I currently have a Spider 4 15 watt, the built-in distortion sounds great but various drive pedals sound not so good.
had the spider 2 since about 2005, currently in my loft/attic, replaced last years with the boss katana.
enjoyed the spider, but it was annoying when you switched channel after messing with the settings and losing those settings because you will forget to save them
Hello good, thanks for teaching this amp! Do you think it's worth $ 100 second-hand?
I guess that's the going rate
Where in England you from, I'm in UK
I'm from Milton Keynes but currently live in South Lincolnshire
@@theguitarmanifesto I'm from Scarborough, but live in billingham
You're quite away up north from me
You should set the tempo and intensity back to appreciate the echo.
That's what she said 😂😂
@@theguitarmanifesto Ha! That's good! Thx!
hey dude thats my amp but not the same model
ah awesome :)
I got my kid a b
One of the cheapest sounding amps I've ever heard.. holy fuck..
Garbage I got the 75watt 111
Good band 😉

Not everybody gets this amp, I used exclusively one of these bad boys for about 13 years and I can tell you it is a piece of shit. Upgraded to a $100 subzero tweed thing and a couple boss pedals and it it's night and day
edit: I did love it for the first year or so though, so decent beginner gear!
I have a 5150, but I can't play that shit in my apartment. So I have a practice amp... Why would I spend more than ~$100 on something I'm just looking to riff on at home? This amp is perfect and tons of fx to play around with. A home recorder/songwriter would have a blast with this amp.

It a bad ass little amp .for those with the brains to use it
A perfect practice amp, easy to acquire and cheap. Got mine for around 60 dollars in the USA. It's not the amp that makes the difference, it's the player. A good player can make anything sound good
Absolutely.
i bought my spider III 75 W in 2010 and still have it..I use in gigs and for me works perfect, I only use the clean red channel because I use multi fx and use the soudn of the MFX amps..for me is a good amp
I just got this amp and I’ve only been playing a year it was a step up from the 20 year old amp I was using before I have a different model than yours but mine does pretty good it works good for practice jamming and jamming with friends and great for someone like me who’s been playing just a year and needs a slightly better amp
It's a great little amp for sure plenty loud enough too
Nope. I have a 150W Spider 3 2x12 and It's the Best AMP I've ever had. I Think it's the Squier Lol. I have an LTD with Seymour Duncan Pickups put in it and there is no Muddy Sound.
Got a spider v mkii. Its great for the money.
I'm also not an edgy gearsnob either, just a normal player with a budget.
When it comes down to it will the audience know any difference?
The clean sounds fine but you try any gain it makes me want to throw up a metal zone would be an improvement
when i first started playing ten years ago my 1x12 line 6 was the perfect amp that just did everything. sure my dad’s ac30 was amazing but my amp never left me stranded. many fond memories
LIVE 6 GOT FOUR OF THEM AWESOME ALL AROUND
For me the LINE 6 Spider 30 watts is a good modern amp and alternative to the most famous big brands... I find it ideal for beginners, but also for those who play in small clubs... It already has several combinable effects of its own, but even with good external pedals his Celestion works well... In short, like all the others, it should be rightly tested.
Another over criticized piece of gear in the guitar world, what a shocker! I owned the bass version of this for YEARS it was quite legit. Anyway, the cleans here are really quite nice. The tremelo, reverb, and chorus / flanger combined is quite awesome and unique. That sweep echo though? Absolutely terrible but it’s okay they tried.
Crunch tones are okay too, unbelievable how much flak this gets. Guarantee you a good guitarist could still get crowds going with it
Just got a Line 6 Spider IV 75 Watt version myself. I'm a beginner and having the effects, and presets all in one place is really nice. What people don't realize is that this is aimed at beginners not experienced guitarists lol.
If you think badly of the spiders check out Dave Simpson playing a spider 4 15.That guy could make a dishwasher sound fantastic.
He looks so disturbing 😂
@@theguitarmanifesto The guy's a little goofy but, he sure is damn talented.
I agree he can play but that's it for me
Hey mate, what's the surf-type riff you're playing?
The Ventures walk don't run
Idk why people hate this amplifier so much. My uncle gave me his for Christmas, And it's the best amp I own. It's better than any fender amp I've ever played on. (I own 3 little tube amps.) It's a bit blown out because it's a couple years old, but it sounds incredible when you pair it with high distortion.
This sounds decent 😎 especially for the price not a fan of the distorted sounds but I like the cleans and the effects. That Hank Marvin song sounded cool 😎😎
It's a good little amp best for the cleans imo
Btw bro I got the Ipad UA-cam app and comments are working on live streams now 😃😃 when’s yours next gonna be?
Ah that's awesome, hmm not sure atm got a lot of other videos to get through
I have a spider 3 150 watt 212 I've had for years and works great I also have the fbv short board mk1 that goes with it so you can switch the effects as if you have a full range pedal board and wah, I think it's a great amp for the price I paid 80 bucks for mine at a pawn shop and 80 for the shortboard sure it's a bit dated now but you could never achieve all the effects and loudness to that quality for 160 bucks with anything else I guarantee and mine has great tone if you take the time to dial in what you want
The spider IV 75 watt was used in many recording studios one of them was Sigma sound studio in Philadelphia that Amp was used from 2010 to 2014 I now own it..can't speak for the III
I always see comments that bash an amp or musical instrument and think to myself "why?"..then I figured it out..I have been playing guitar for over 2 decades and the key aspect of guitar or anything in life that you want to learn is "Discipline"..if you have discipline then you would never put down another musician or their equipment..don't get it twisted either because there are plenty of amps and guitars that I don't like or would not own but I never take a second of my life to bash it..Modeling amps are not for everyone and especially not for people that have no patience or discipline...there is always going to be players that just want to get an amp, unbox it,plug in and start jamming..and that's fine but then there are people that take the time to learn and get the most out of an amp..i don't play thru a Line 6 modeling amp anymore but i have owned several models in the past..I also owned a Peavey vypyr VIP 2 and a couple of Fender Mustang V.2 modeling amps...I'm a metal guitarist and I made all those amps scream and created some awesome metal tones..in fact I have some guitar covers I made like Slayers "world painted blood " and "Angel of death"..also Killswitch Engaged "My Curse " using a Fender Mustang III V.2 amp and I did a cover of Killswitch Engaged "My last Serenade " using the Peavey vypyr VIP 2 and had a few comments asking me what amp I was using and what settings.
So with all that said my point is don't talk shit or put down something just because you don't fully understand it..clear your mind of all negative thoughts and use discipline to master anything in life..including an amp that you think sucks.
Axl Despaw - Well said and so true! Kinda like the old saying goes...you get out what you put in! Cheers!
@wildebest you missed the point..and you obviously lack any type of discipline..sad..very sad
@wildebest I get it..and I'm sorry if I came off as an asshole..I get what your saying now and thank you for explaining more..peace bro
@wildebest hi, do you have this or had this that you can give an "authoritative" response? If yes, good on yer; if no be accepting that not every one can AFFORD, what you term a "useable" amp. Your opinion of that useable might be the total opposite of someone else.
I have the line 6 micro spider. It sounds muddy when I use crank the distortion all the way, especially if the volume is too high. I've found ways around it, I cut the bass out, crank treble and mids all the way, and tune guitar to F. Even so it's still not great, I might replace it.
Get something newer, personally I recommend a line 6 spider v 120
The distortion on this amp is crisp. The clean is sharp and is reliable. You could say it's boring perhaps and predictable but for the price what more do you want?
Nice Revolution Radio flag
Rock on 🎸🤘😎
Got this little amp from Sam Goody a loooooog long time ago. My guitars come and go but I still keep this amp around lol.
I keep seeing these posts about how "bad" Line 6 Spiders are/ if you have patience they will do anything . Modeling amps should not be considered plug and play/ there's a learning curve !!!###
Line 6 makes good stuff
They sure do 🎸🤘
I've owned this amp for the past few years and it sounds good to me. I actually added a 2 way crossover and a tweeter, you wont believe how much sound you're missing!! Give it a try, plug your amp into a full range speaker and see.....
Same I've had mine since 2005 and have never found an amp that matches it and dont understand the hate..I cant get a better distorted tone than the metal setting on this amp anywhere else but am always open to new products .I just dont feel I need anything else other than my spider
don't use distortion with the tweeter, you'll burn it out.
@@hifijohn Nah, I used a crossover to filter out low frequencies. It works great!!!
Got one for 20 bucs great for practis at my other house, not neary as good as my boss katana 50 tho
Ah nice good price for a great little amp 🎸🤘
Falerving I’m getting the katana 50 mark 2 I have the line 6 75111 pretty much was good in the beginning it still is sound functional but not really good for live performance I suggest the boss katana amps just my opinion
@@Wrguitar941 they are very good for the price
The boss Katana, and this is night and day. The Katana is a legit game changer. Do yourself a favor and get the mark 1. It sounds better, price is better, and you get the cool kickstand.
I have the Spider IV 15 and I hate it.
Rock on 🎸🤘😂
@@theguitarmanifesto You too brother

I just want to know where these UA-camrs buy their stuff so cheap because they always start with how much they paid and for some reason is always a very very cheap price so I might be missing something here. Maybe is a secret store that I don't know about where you can find cheaper stuffs. Because there is no way right now that you can buy anything line 6 amp for $50 or so anywhere. I have the luck one time only and won on eBay a Vox Valvetronix AD15vt for $22 but with the shipping and tax when up to $75 so even there I paid $75 so Please tell me where UA-camrs find all those cheap deals.
Guess you're looking in the wrong places bud 🤣🤣 all about being in the right place at the right time
We're you playing a Ventures song???? 👍👍🤨🤨
Walk don't run
Would you recommend this amp if I just want a clear sound?
Most definitely
I think the clean channel sounds great, especially for the price you can get these at. However, the Distortion channels are pretty much not worth using.
