Description
Docs
The Spider II 15 delivers an unheard of range of tones for its size. Four independent amp channel models (Clean, Crunch, Metal, and Insane) come preset with tone and effects settings carefully tweaked by the patients at Line 6's Sound Design Asylum. This compact powerhouse has a dedicated distortion boost, noise gate, and the revolutionary Smart Control FX. With six different effect types (two simultaneous), getting the right sound is easy. Spider II 15 packs six Smart Control FX including, Phaser, Chorus/Flanger, Tremolo, Sweep Echo, Tape Echo, and Reverb. All effects can be easily tweaked and delay times can be adjusted using tap tempo.

15 Watt amplifier

Smart Control FX
Clean: This amp model gives you everything from crisp, shimmering clean tones all the way to warm vintage tones.

Crunch: Line 6 based this model on a '68 Marshall "Plexi" 100-watt with a few added extras. We threw in the Variac "brown sound" trick on top of jumping the input channels! Now you're on fire!

Metal: This monster truck of tone delivers a tight bottom-end that's big, powerful, and fast. Use this amp model to get a punch, high-gain metal sound.

Insane: Our goal with Insane was to provide you with as much distortion as possible short of complete meltdown. Crank up the Drive control and prepare to dominate.

"Best Practice Amp in Existence at an insane Price!"
Feature:
This amp has more features than any other amp i looked at, not to mention it can use two at a time, for great sounds. The only part that dissapointed me is that the tap tempo button only applies to the sweep echo and tape echo, and i needed it for the tremollo effect.

Quality:
It seems pretty sturdy, even with the open back. No rattling inside like every other amp ive played. I'm sure it will last longer than I'm going to need it, since it will almost never be on the road except for a few jam sessions . . . it's only a practice amp.

Value:
When i saw this amp at this price i thought it would definitely be useless. I was definitely wrong there. My other amp cost at least 5 times more, weighs 60 more pounds, and has 1/5 the effects this one has, and for its huge size, doesnt get a whole lot louder than it, even though it's a tube amp. Also, the sound quality is better, which amazed me. If something happened to it, I'd buy it again without even looking around for another one first.

Desirability:
I thikn one of the best features of this amp is that it is nearly weightless. It can get incredibly loud, has more effects than i know what to do with, it's one of the cheapest amps i've ever seen, and can be moved anywhere easily. What's not to like?

Sound:
This amp sounds great. I'd recommend it more for people who play metal and stuff with more distortion, especially with the insane setting that gets more gain than you could ever use. It can get loud enough to compete with any other instrument in your band easily.

Ease of Use:
Very self explanatory amp. I never opened the instruction manuel and i managed to get all the sounds i want with about an hour of playing around with it. I've used it with a guitar and a microphone (only one input was a bit of a dissapointment) and it works great with both.

Overall:
I will never replace this amp. Of course, I have another for actual gigs, but this is by far the best practice amp available anywhere. If it was ever lost or stolen, I would get a new one as soon as possible. My favorite parts are the incredible gain you can get on it and its ridiculous light weight. There are only three things wrong with this amp to me: it only has one input (i need a microphone and a guitar), the tap tempo button only applies to the echo effects, and there is no footswitch option.

"great amp"
Feature:
This amp is full to the brim with features. Four channels that can all be customised and saved as default, 6 lovely digital effects, a noise gate that doesent cut your sustain very much and i have only revently found out it can have a distortion boost on the clean channel, making it even more versatile. The only ddrawback is that unlike the 30 watt version, there is no way to use a line 6 footswitch to change channel while playing. If you want to play live, then go for the 30 watt.

Quality:
Perfect, nothing wobbling, all seems very well put together.

Value:
Im only marking it down because there is no footwsitch option. Otherwise, its a great buy.

Desirability:
it has shiny bits!!!!!

Sound:
Very good sound, even with a crappy yamaha pacifica 012. All the effects sound great, especially the reverb and the tones you can get are all amazing.

Support:
never needed it. probably never will.

Overall:
Once again, only marking it down thanks because it has no footswitch. But its still one of the best practise amps there is. Its also very loud for a 15 watt, so you could still use it at small gigs.
