Line 6 Spider Valve 212 Guitar Combo Amplifier (40 Watts, 2x12 in.)

Feature:
Effects sound pretty good. I do wish there was an intelligent pitch shifter or harmonizer but I can live without it. Also the line out sounds like crap as does the wah. You would definitely want to use your own wah and mic the speakers.

Quality:
Seems to be well made. I haven't had any problems yet.

Value:
WOrth the price to me!

Desirability:
This amp has cut my setup time down from 45 minutes to ten.

Sound:
I play in a cover band on the weekends and needed to downsize to a smaller rig that would do everything. When I heard that Line 6 and Bogner were teaming up, i had to give it a try. Very versatile, lots of useless presets but some can be used as a good starting point. Effects are easy to dial in and save. This is the loudest 40 watts I've ever heard. More volume than I'll ever need. The wah sounds like crap but I have a good sounding wah so thats not an issue. I use a Tube Screamer 808 reissue in front of it for that extra boost/sustain. Now that I've played with this amp for a few months, I'm very happy with it. I use strat type guitars with humbuckers and floyds. I won't bore you with makes and models. When I first played a gig with tis amp I wasn't very happy with it. It didn't sound any better than any other digital modeling amp to me. I was running the volume at 2.5 which was a nice comfortable stage volume, plenty loud without blowing my bandmates off the stage. That was my problem. Once I cranked the master volume up to a little over halfway and used the volume pedal on my FBV footcontroller to control the actual loudness on stage, the amp came alive and sounds just as good as my old Marshall Silver Jubilee or Carvin X100B did. The secret to getting a great sound out of this amp is to turn it up. Using The tube screamer (808) in front of the amp and the ADA splitstack cab mixed with the internal speakers made all the difference in the world. Now the sound is perfect!

Ease of Use:
It took me a few months of playing in different clubs and trying different combinations to get the sound I wanted but I finally got it and couldn't be happier!

Support:
No experience with support

Overall:
I am 42 and have been playing since 1976. The only other gear I use with this amp is a Ibanez Tube Screamer, a Vox wah and an ADA splitstack 2x12 cab. I plug the internal speakers and the ADA cab into jacks for 2 8 ohm cabs and it sounds awesome! If this amp were lost or stolen, I would definitely buy another one. I'm actually considering buying the head version for a backup. If you're looking for a great sounding amp that you can gig with, look no further. I couldn't be happier with this amp.

Feature:
love the esay to use dials.efects are good.and once you set the chanels and get a chanle selector pedal your good for a show.also it compataple with pedals.oh!also i love how you can take out the power chord makes srorage e-zer.

Quality:
tight as hell man no problems no feedback.great tone all the lights make it look cool.

Value:
i got mine for 1,100 and it put a dent in my pocket put still best amp i ever used worth the money no doubt.

Desirability:
like i said before all the colorfull light,the jet black desing and the logo LINE 6 right in the front says it all.

Sound:
the tubes.that basicly sums it up.

Ease of Use:
very easy to use again all the knobs and you just turn on the amp.wait 10 seconds and flip the stand by swich up.your ready to play.

Support:

Overall:
