"Spider III = Dang Good Amp"

Feature:
The customizable amp models are very nice. They are quite straightforward to use, and offer a nice variety of parameters for the price of the amp. It also has a very nice handle.

Quality:
This amp seems quite solid. I've taken it to jam sessions, and nothing has broken(yet). It is not Gibson or Fender, but this is a solidly built amp. I would perform with this any day, as long as I didn't need too much amplification.

Value:
I think it is worth $100.

Desirability:
This is not necessarily the hottest amp, but it is by no means ugly.

Sound:
The clean setting is the one I have used the most. It has a very nice, clear sound to it. The other three levels of distortion are nice, but if you have a good distortion pedal you might want to use that instead. The models are not going to sound quite as good as the hardware the amp is modeling, but it is enough for all but die-hard amp fanatics.

Ease of Use:
It is a pretty simple amp to work with. You can plug it in, turn it on, and start playing without having to follow any instructions. Programming in amp settings required a glance at the included instructions, which were very easy to understand.

Support:
I have not had to deal with Line 6.

Overall:
This is a pretty dang awesome amp, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants there amp to be able to model different sounds. If you know you want to sound like a Fender, Vox, Gibson, or any other brand of amp, you might want to think about getting one of those instead. That being said, I am extremely pleased with this amp. I will probably replace it with something larger in the future, but for now, this amp is perfect.

"Meh, its okay, but not my style."

Feature:
I didnt even bother looking at all the features because the clean channel sucked so bad.

Quality:
I guess it looks durable enough. Its a nice looking amp for sure. Its pretty good size and has protected corners.

Value:
If you like metal this just might be the amp for you although even the insane channel is pretty weak in my book.

Desirability:
It does look nice..better looking than Vox amps although i'd rather have one that worked well, not looked sexy.

Sound:
The sound of this amp is decent, that is if you want to spend your entire time tweaking every little thing and not playing. Whenever you hit the clean channel button the tape echo kicks in and adds a sort of chorus to the sound. A pain in the ass if you just want to hit clean and go. This amp is not meant for blues or rock without crazy distortion.

Ease of Use:
Like i said, its a pain to tweak every little thing. It seems pretty straight forward but not very user friendly when you have to keep tweaking it.

Support:
Didnt use them so i cant say

Overall:
I'm going to replace this with a Vox or Fender.

If you crave the sounds you hear on stage or on your favorite albums, Spider III is here to deliver.

New to the Spider III is a huge range of killer mid-gain guitar tones.

Plug in and separate yourself from the posers.

Spider III delivers detailed amp models based on some of the greatest guitar sounds ever created. To keep these sounds authentic, Line 6 kidnapped some of their favorite artists to dial in each amp model. Now you can rule the stage with the Insane model with its truly massive gain or explore your sensitive side in the studio with the Clean model. It's all up to you.

Amp Models
Clean
Select this Amp Model and adjust the tone controls to get crisp, amazing clean tones, great warm jazz tones, and all the high-end shimmer you'll need with a generous amount of bottom end.

Crunch
This Amp Model is based on* a '68 Marshall Plexi 100 watt with a few added extras; The combination of a Variac and the jumped input channels creates that infamous brown sound.

Metal
This Amp Model is based on* the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. Use this Amp Model to get a tight and punchy, high gain Metal sound.

Insane
This model is our "dialed in for shredding" version based on* the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier red channel. It combines the intensity and impact of Metal Red, but delivers more midrange and teeth for that bone-crushing, brain piercing insane grind.

Effects
A great amp isn't the only part of a great guitar sound. With Smart Control FX, an exclusive Line 6 feature that automatically dials in different effect parameters, you spend more time playing and less time tweaking. Simply find the effect that you want, turn the knob to your desired intensity, and you're done. You can even use multiple effects at the same if you wanna get really crazy.

Effects Models (Up to 2 effects simultaneous):
-- Phaser

-- Chorus/Flanger

-- Tremolo

-- Sweep Echo

-- Tape Echo

-- Reverb

Ins & Outs
When you're playing with your band on stage just drag the Spider III on stage and crank it up. When it comes time to record, use the headphone/direct out and plug it straight into the mixing board for world-class POD 2.0 direct tone used in pro studios and stages everywhere! You can also use the same out with headphones for practicing in your bedroom. Want to play along with your favorite songs? Plug into the CD/MP3 input and you're good to go.
