  • Someone got more than a little upset with my review of the Line 6 Spider V. So upset in fact, they've threatened to come after me and "feed me my teeth."
    Well, things like that should be deconstructed and discussed publicly, in my opinion.

I noticed they were thinking of buying a Spider 5 (because of all ads on the walls of that store) , so walked up to them and told it was a piece of shit and offered my old amp (Vox VT20X + footswitch) for the price of a new spider. I quickly showed them the tones of both amps and we made the deal. I got rid of my old amp and kid didn't have to suffer with a Spider 5.

As you stated, you offer alternatives within the same price range that are superior to what you reviewed and didn't like.
    I for one respect your opinion, and appreciate the time you've put into the industry gaining the experience necessary to have such an opinion. My opinions wouldn't mean squat compared to yours simply because I lack the time and experience you've gained. For that, I thank you. Also, for what it's worth, as a noob to home recording and amps in general, I've never found a line 6 anything I like better than an alternative within the price range of competitors.

    I’ve been using a Line 6 Spider IV in my cover band for 6 years. It serves me well and definitely makes playing multiple styles of music in one gig much easier. The built in FX and the ability to hook it up via usb to a pc for tone editing is a great feature as well. I understand you believe these amps don’t work well for metal, but I will say this... when my lead guitar player is fiddling with his Mesa dual rectifier on stage, trying to get rid of some annoying buzzing that even a noise gate won’t fix, trying to dial in different tones between songs that ultimately make it harder for the sound engineer to keep up, or just plain sounding too thin because he doesn’t have a mess of pedals and fx to compensate for the lack of features in $2000+ amp, I’ll take my 75w Line 6 spider 4 that sounds chunky and brutal as hell any day. Cheers brutha!

    It strikes me that, as only some people have the “ears” to be producers, maybe some folks have no skills to hear the differences between a Line6 Spider V and its emulated target. And these folks take umbrage with having their lack of skill thrown back in their face by the review. Sigh.

First purchases I was thinking about are Cubase pro, ax fx III, drum mics and stuff for acoustic treatment.

    2) another great sound of the spider is when it lands on the ground after you throw it down a cliff

    I've never seen you or your reviews before today, Glen, but I have now subscribed and plan to contribute based purely on your response to this dillweed. I own a small ranch down here in Texas, where I have a 30' x 75' man cave- guitars and guns, mostly. I have amps and guitars everywhere, some good, some great, some unholy piles of steaming shit. I tend to keep everything, as I figure the world paradigm is Caveat Emptor. Usually I can find a place, musically, for even a bad amp(someone below suggested an album featuring bees, for example)- I ended up pairing a spider IV 150 head with a B-52 LS-412 cab and got what I consider to be an amazing amp. I think it's a bit like when we were young- it was a pain to fast forward the cassette or 8 track, or to lift the needle to the next track...so we listened to all of the filler and usually found some "B" side gold. Today kids only buy the songs they already like- the songs the radio told them to like. They miss the hidden cool. Anyone who buys or doesn't buy something based on a single review from a stranger...deserves what he gets...and what he misses. I listen to every review, compile everything. and STILL go try it out at GC or SA before buying it...just as most musicians do.
    I never thought I'd say this, Glen, but...Marlon Brando is a pussy. You holler if you need any help, son. We Texans have a little thing we call an "attitude adjustment" for folks like Marlon. Say the word, I've got your back...not that you need it. :)
