"The Hot Amp for Working Musicians"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I use the amps for about 4 years and then get the latest model. I have several for back up.

Sound
I have had several Line 6 amps, but I have settled in on the Spider 2x10 models because of their compactness, light weight, great sound, tone, and they are as loud as you are every going to need in any club. They crank very loud if you need it. The 2x10 Celestian Speakers have the edge and bottom end punch. I only use a FBV Express on the floor and that has eliminated lots of effects pedals and crackling patch cords. The Line 6 Spider has eliminated a truck load of tube amps, effects pedals, and outboard rack mount gear. All that processing power is now in one small amp and a floor board pedal. I don't have to mess with tone settings after I get them dialed in and save them. My sound and tone is excellent from venue to venue, needing only to adjust the volume for different room sizes. Other players are amazed at my sound and I always recommend the Line 6 Spider amps to them. I have 2 Spider III's and recently bought a Spider IV 2x10 because it has programmable effects parameters, more effects, and is upgradeable by USB from your computer. You can download Custom Tones for pretty much any guitarist's sound that you want. I'm currently dialing in this new Spider IV 2x10 amp with my Stevie Ray Vaughan tones, Fender Twin Reverb Tone, Van Halen tones, and Surf tones for Studio Use. I downloaded the additional effects patches from Line 6 and now have read more 79 effects to get my tones EXACT. Great amp. Inexpensive, and you can sell off all your crackling foot pedals, rack mount speghetti, and huge dinosaur rig get one!

Features
I bought the FBV MKIII Express footswitch with this amp. It has the USB port for downlaods and Custom Tone downloads, and firmware updates.

Ease of Use
You can either select several of the 400 presets, or modify them and save them to your amp, or dial in your own tones using the various tube amp models, save them, or download Custom Tones from Line 6.

Quality
The Line 6 Spider IV is built better that previous models and is heavier duty than the earlier ones. It features a semi-closed back for big bottom end, and a recessed black front knob panel, instead of the grey plastic panel on the older ones. It looks professional.

Value
I replaced a truck load of tube amps, foot pedals, and rack-mount gear, and have better sound. This is the best value in any amp for the professional working musician. You can pay more for high end amps but you aren't going to get better sound and tone.

Manufacturer Support
Only used Line 6 support for firmware update and to download additional effects. It was easy on a Mac.

The Wow Factor
Sex Appeal? Well it looks great and the ladies dance because my sound is so good.
