Sound: This has to be te most versatile amp made. The different sounds and tonal quality of this amp is far superior than any plain jane amp on the market today. Feature: The presets rock bottom line. The ability to tweak and reconfigure the sounds is as easy as eating apple pie. Ease of Use: There hasn't been a sound that I haven't been able to recreate. It is that easy. Quality: Although the amp is relatively new it appears to be very well constructed. I will be using this "without a net" with my new band. I have faith. :-) Value: For the price this wins hands down. You WILL NEVER find another amp that does this for this price. If I lost it or it was stolen I'd have another one witin 24 hours. I wouldn't even look at anything else. (except mabe the Line 6 Spider III 150 head matched with a 2-12 Mesa Boogie cabinet with Blackface Celestions) Manufacturer Support: I ahve dealt with Line 6 in the past and thier support is great. Just go to their website and in the forums there are always people from LIne 6 answering any question you have. The Wow Factor: Had to have it as soon as I heard it. Overall: Don't need to search for another product, this is it.

Sound: Many artist and sound presets, along with the ability to tweak what you got, or totally change any of several settings to get the sound you're looking for. This puts out A LOT of sound, enough to shake the walls, but has very clear sound on lower settings. Very nice to get a 12" celestion speaker with this. Makes my inexpensive guitar sound much better. Feature: Twelve amp models and 400 presets....'nuff said. The phone jack and MP3 inputs are great for playing along to your own songs while the rest of the house sleeps. I've also hooked my Line 6 Guitar port up using the speaker out jack, to play music from my PC through the amp. Ease of Use: It takes some time to learn the subtle nuances of what all you can do with the output/settings/presets, but any shortcomings here are greatly outweighed by the superb features. Quality: Fit and finish were great...I was able to plug it in as soon as I got it and played for a couple of hours, without reading the manuals. (But of course, I'm a guy, so who needs a manual?) ;-) Value: Okay, a little pricy. How long it lasts (or I use it) will be the ultimate test. Had the 30 Watt Spider III had all the amp models and presets, I would have went that way and saved $100, but with all the extras you're getting on the 75 watt version I can't complain too much. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had a problem or reason to contact them on this amp, although my other experiences with them (Guitarport) they were excellent. The Wow Factor: Very nice looking and it makes you look (and sound) like you know what you're doing, which is great. Overall: A great sounding and playing amp. If you have the money get it, along with one of the foot pedals (so you can change channels as you play).

Sound: Great distortion, clean, and other effects, such as phasers, and delays, etc. Feature: It's all good. The A, B, C, D presets are great to store your sounds. You can even store each preset to the same volume, so you don't have to change volume every time you switch from clean to distortion or whatever. To set it all to the same volume, you have to keep the Master volume the same for all of them, and change the Channel volume for each preset so that they all have the same loudness (or quietness). Ease of Use: It's kinda laborious to scroll through the artists and songs presets, but it's well worth the effort to fix a sound to your liking. Quality: It looks great, and it sounds great, and it's dependable. That's all you need in an amp! Value: This product is definitely worth its price! The Wow Factor: It looks great, as I previously said. Overall: I'll keep this product for a long time. I'll be takin' care of this baby, and if you get it, you should too!

Sound: Killer presets and great sound. You can easily tweak the sounds or create your own and save them. Feature: Lots of features with this amp. probably more than I'll ever need or use but good to know they are there. Ease of Use: Plug and play. select your sounds. It doesn't get any better or any easier than that.. Quality: The quality is excellent. Rugged design, good looks., this amp is made very well. Value: To me the Spider III is worth a lot more money. This is the first amp I've purchased in many years. Before then I had a few and well... they were amps without all the extra features. Big bang for the buck!! Don't hesitate. Buy a Spider and prepare to be blown away. Manufacturer Support: They are the best. Just visit the Line6 web site and you'll see what I mean. The Wow Factor: Well, I own it. Overall: I bought this amp mostly for studio recording. I'm definitely keeping it forever!!

Back to Product Information
Sound: So good. 400 preset sounds and distortion anywhere from clean and insane. Chorus Flange, Phaser, Tremolo, Delay, Tape Echo, Sweep Echo, and Reverb. What could you ask for. Its also very LOUD. Hurts my ears at half volume. I'm scared to turn it up full. Feature: Its got all these cool sound accessories that you would find in a pedal like reverb and chorus flange and delay. The 400+ presets is really sick too. You can plug your Ipod in, you can get a switch pedal (i reccomend it), you can record straight from it, it has a headphone jack. Its AMAZING. Ease of Use: Its slightly difficut to work you way around the presets, but soon you'll find a bunch that you love and be ble to get to them fast. Quality: I bang this thing on walls, drop it often, sit on it, stack bigger amps on it, and it still looks brand new, no cosmetic blemishes on it. its such good quality. Value: For $270 this this is a steal. Its durable, has so many great functions and sounds, pretty lightweight for an amp if this size, and is just a great piece of equipment overall. A nice upgrade from my Behringher. Manufacturer Support: I have not dealt with them but I would imagine that they are pretty good. The Wow Factor: I think its better than any other amp like it except for the Marshall, but who wants to shell out like 1000$ for one anyways. This amp is the way to go. Overall: If this thing broke (I can't imagine how it would) i would immidiately go grab another one. I love this amp.

Quality: Everything seems to be of very high quality Value: Amazing value for this thing. Manufacturer Support: Didn't have to deal with them The Wow Factor: Its a nice generic amp isn't any kind of physical feature that screams out but i like the look of it Overall: Overall great amp for the beginner or the advanced. The presets are actually pretty good and theres plenty of em, but of course if you want you can dial in your own custom tone which is almost as easy as picking a preset.

Sound: cleans are GREAT sounding distortion is realllyyy bass filled. the amp is powerfull as H3LL. i like it because its very versitile when you shut it off NO popping noises just a click. ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDING AMP TO DATE. also every sound sounds just as great as the next Feature: Features? Hell yeah! most useful feature is definately the the 400+ presets i love it Ease of Use: its an amp... what do ya expect?! its ok to get through the 400 presets.. not a fun task though. very playable you hardly need a pedal EVER! Quality: it is made VERY well it will last a long time (5-10 years) there isnt a bad part on this amp at ALL everything is sturdy...heck you can throw it out a window...well maybe not. only thing i may be afraid of braking is the little screen between a gig Value: oh my goodness!! well the price...VERY LOW for how great it is id pay way more Manufacturer Support: NO PROBLEMS The Wow Factor: i dont think an amp needs sex appeal if it does then..well i feel pretty bad for you... Overall: i dont see how i would need to replace it... i bought it because i was using a bass amp that sounded like a dying goose on marijuana... it meets EVERYTHING i would want if it were stolen... i give props to the guy he made a good choice in lugging down my staitcase... but all sillyness aside if it were stolen i would have to buy another just because i love it so much

Sound: I was totaly blown away at how loud this amp is at half volume...wow ear piercing!Ididnt even attempt to go higher. I pretty much suck at playing guitar...but this amp makes me sound good. Feature: Features are great plus it has a built in tuner...what more can you ask for....except you will need the footswitch.Great crunch and metal settings and holy sh*t look out for the insane setting...its insane. Ease of Use: Pretty easy to use unless you want to alter the presets....then it can get a little frustrating......but other than that overall an 8. Quality: All around it is a solid amp....except i bought B Stock and the handle used to pick it up was broken right out of the box....the factory tried to fix it to no avail....but no worrys i fixed it in 10 minutes. Value: Where else are you going to get an amp with features and looks and power for 250.00 bucks Manufacturer Support: Great support i talked to a girl named eva...i think and she was very kind and pleasant to talk to. The Wow Factor: As soon as i seen it i wanted it. Overall: Besides the broken handle,and the messing around with so many presets and trying to find and mold my type of sound......you should definitly buy this amp.B Stock or new.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: If you're looking for an all out loud amp, then this one might be for you. From owning this amp, I have found that this amp hides your guitar's true tone and isn't that articulate. Harmonics can get muddied and lost when playing with distortion. This amp has a very prominent solid-state sound to it, so if you are looking for the warmth of a tube amp, keep looking. The fx and the presets are a pretty cool feature; however the artist and song presets could be a little more precise. In some settings, the fx are a little overpowering when they shouldn't be. Feature: Although I'm not truly happy with the overall sound of this amp, I do give Line 6 some major props on the features of this amp. The hundred of presets and the ability to store 40 settings in the four banks is really nice. The built in tuner is excellent and very precise. The reason I give this amp an 8 on features is because there are way too many presets and it can take up a good part of a weekend just to find, test and store the presets that one likes the best. Aside from this, I didn't really like how when switching from preset to preset the volume is very inconsistent and can give you an unwanted shock if your are trying to play at lower volumes. The second thing that brings this features rating down is that when attempting to dial in your own custom sound, the amps channels are also preset with fx. Although these fx can be reduced, some cannot be completely removed from the channel setting. Ease of Use: I gave this amp a 6 on ease of use because of the numerous presets and amount of tinkering it takes to dial in one's own custom sound. There are also extra features that the novice amp user may never discover if one doesn't read the entire manual (i.e. the built in noise gate and tuner). If you are used to using straight forward amps with (volume, gain, mid, treble) this amp will definitely take some getting used to. However, if you are used to playing modeling amps, then the ease of use becomes a little more fluid. Quality: I give the amp a 9 on quality because it is definitely built solid. I have always felt as though Line 6 creates quality products. The only thing that I have found is that the cabinet is prone to scuffing and tears when toting the amp to gigs or even room to room. Value: I rate value as an 8 based on the fact that I purchased the amp when it was first released and paid $399 at a local guitar store. At more recent prices of $299, this is amp will offer plenty of entertainment at an affordable price. Manufacturer Support: Support is rated a 10 because I've never had to use them. The Wow Factor: If you like gadgets and the like, this amp will definitely have you staring in awe. However, if you're looking for tube sound or that classic British crunch, this amp is lacking. The amp has a very clean and sleek look. If I lost it, I wouldn't shed any tears and would probably move on to something more suited for my style of playing. Overall: I owned this amp for about two months before deciding I needed to part ways and move on. The amp now serves and the occasional footstool or guitar stool. I'm more of a purist when it comes to amps. I would much rather have a tonally competent amp and add a pedal or two than have to spend my time dialing in my sound each and every time I make a change. I own a Vox AD100VT 2x12 and a Marshall AVT 150 half stack as well as a few smaller Peavy VK's and Epiphone Blues Custom and this amp does not even compare to even my smaller Peavy's. This review is not to dismiss this amp as a lackluster piece of equipment, but if you are someone would would rather play as opposed to tinkering with settings, this amp may be too much for you. Line 6 has definitely accomplished a ton with this amp and is far more advanced that a lot of other modeling amps at higher prices. Based on my needs, experience and desires, this amp doesn't quench my thirst.

Sound: I think it has great sound. I am a beginner myself (playing for about 8 months) and I ordered this a week or so ago, got it today. Before I had a practice amp, Roland Microcube (2 watts) and I definately needed more and better sound. With my LTD AX-260 this sounds perfect, to me at least. And it can make your walls shake easily, if you want :) Feature: Tons of effects that sound awesome and are easy to use. I wish the amp came with switchpedal as well, but the price is good, even without it. I might buy the pedal later. Ease of Use: I read a lot of reviews before buying this product, and a lot of them said it's really hard to figure out how to use it. 400 presets all the knobs and buttons...Well, I took a shot at and ordered. Today when it came, I spent may be 40 minutes to figure out 90% of the functions it has and how to use them. I feel pretty comfortable with it now. 4 or 5 pages of instructions that it included was pretty much enough for me, and a some experimenting of course. Quality: I'll give it a 10 because it's only first day that I have it, but it looks nice and solid, nothing is shaking or falling of or anything like that. I hope it'll stay like this for long time. Value: Not very expensive for this good product. Totally worth it. Although it COULD worth a little less. Or a little more with a switch pedal. Anyway, good value. Manufacturer Support: Same thing again, first day - no problems so far and I hope I won't have any technical problems any time soon. The Wow Factor: I was excited and thinking about it everyday since I ordered it. I think it looks great, knobs, buttons and the pannel itself are good. Overall: I am satisfied with this product. I love its big sound and a huge variety of preset sounds or costum sounds you can choose or create.

Sound: the sound is great however it has a lot of feedback at times. It's settings are great except the clean. It's not really clean. This amp is definatly good for someone who likes metal and blues. The amp has excellent distorions and twang is great. The blues knob is okay however the twang gives you a more bluesy sound. Feature: 400+ presets, 6 effects,4 channels which you can make and keep your own customs sounds (ps whoever reviewed and said you couldn't save your settings didn't read the manual). over 12 different built in amp models. I think it's great. if only it had a pedal though so you could swith through the settings Ease of Use: It's easy if you read the manual. Quality: one of the best i've seen but the constant feedback ruins the 10 Value: very well compared to other amps this price/ Manufacturer Support: great i used them when i asked a few questions and i got it all answerd. The Wow Factor: i's a nice looking amp nothing else to describe it. line 6 will be household name in a few years Overall: very well built. great amp for a novice jumping to intermediate player on a budget. if you have the money i suggest you look at a marshall but if you dont this is your amp.

Sound: it has a good sound, UNTIL you decide to raise up the volume (not the whole 75 WATTS) ... but it gives you bad feedback noises.. and no, it is not the guitar i use... it happens with every guitar.. i mean.. from a cheap fender squier to my Gibson Explorer.. Feature: love the features Ease of Use: easy to use. Quality: its ok. Overall: it is a good amp. but as mentioned b4 by other users... this isnt a good gig amp..

Sound: so many varietys of things that you can play anything from bark at the moon (ozzy) to hey joe(hendrix)and it get's realtivley loud for a 75 watt amp Feature: you'll get lost in the presets there is so many that you can use, tweak, and save em as your own. Ease of Use: this is so much better than a marshall stack which can take hours to dial in a good sound. but you'll have no problem whatsoever with the line 6 spider 3 setup. so many knobs which are easy to tweak to get the best sound possible for you. Quality: made to be very durable, it was lighter to pick up then i expected, theres pretty much no way you can break this thing. Value: it took me a while to save up for it but it's worth ALL of the wait for it. Manufacturer Support: very simple. The Wow Factor: very attractive amp. Overall: i wouldn't trade it for anything beside a 120 or a 150 haha. :)

Sound: Good sound quality - plenty crunchy when that's what you want, enough distortion to make your ears ring, and squeaky-clean when that's what you want. Plenty of volume for any but really big rooms (and you'll be using their sound system if that's the case anyway). Some settings sound a little bit "reedy" to me, but overall it's solid. Feature: Hundreds of modeled presets to go with whatever custom setup you can come up with on your own. Many presets are variations on overdrive, which has its uses, but not if metal isn't your thing. Built-in FX are OK except for tremolo, which, after daily amp use for weeks, still seems lame to me. Ease of Use: Tons of features, but not all that easy to use. Setting up your own sound is easy and straightforward - dial in what you want, play it, and tweak from there. Using the modeled presets ought to be MUCH easier than it is. If you know you like preset 'x,' it'll take you 10 minutes to find it, and finding it doesn't get any easier or faster with use. Quality: Good quality for the money. Cabinet is sturdy, looks good, Celestion speaker handles whatever I've thrown at it. Not even a hint of a glitch with the electronics. Digital modeling is probably the wave of the future, and Line6 has done that part right. Value: Great bang for your amplifier buck. Good sound straight-up, plenty of FX, power for most situations, and volume aplenty. It looks like lots of other amps, but I paid for performance, and looks don't matter in that category. Manufacturer Support: Don't really know - haven't had to deal with them. The Wow Factor: If versatility in terms of sound or playing style is important to you, the Line6 Spiders deserve consideration. The sheer number of FX available is fun to play around with, and you're sure to find at least a handful that you'll want to use often. Overall: The Line6 Spider III has features my other amp, which is 15 years old, can't match. It's solidly constructed and produces good tone and volume. It's not as easy to use some of the features as it ought to be, but the features are there, nonetheless, if you want to use 'em.

Sound: I got the 75W and the best thing about this amp is the heavier distortion sounds, they actually sound really good and you can get alot of variety from it. Clean sounds are very average, compared to what I expected plus there is also alot of what sounds like cracks and glitches. I guess this is a result of it being digital. In hindsight, wouldve much prefered a simple tubed amp, rather than this even though it does have all the bells and whistles. Feature: As i said it comes with all the bells and whistles... lots of modes, presets and tuner etc. but they are not simple to work out. The best feature of this amp is the ability to save your sounds, which is great because you can save a clean and dirty sounds to your liking and switch between them with the pedal. That is if you have the pedal, which isnt cheap and you cannot use it if you ever dicide to move onto another amp. I would definately recommend getting the pedal if you buy this amp. Ease of Use: This amp is not easy to use. The instructions do not give you anymore information than you'll read on the website. Also the instructions try to sound all cool and hip and end up being vague. Took me a good 2 weeks to finally get the most out of this amp. Searching through the presets library is a nightmare and annoying, I'v probably used about 15 of them in total (not including my personal saved ones)just because there is too many to scroll through. Quality: Only issue with the quality is the pedal that i bought for it (fbv express) it sometimes goes retarded, but usually fixes itself after you unplug it, and also the wah pedal now squeaks. Other than that i cant see this amp breaking in any way, if anything goes wrong it would be with the digitals. Value: Value was good, probably one of the main selling points for me at the time. Pedal was very expensive so i guess they got me in the end. But I'd say its one of the best amps in the price range. Better than marshall MG's and Vox AD's for distortion, clean sounds are another story. Manufacturer Support: Only a 10 because the shop I bought it from rocks and I know they would sort me out come any mishaps. I just wish they told me to spend a little more and get a real tube amp. The Wow Factor: Okay looking, looks a bit tacky and plastic. That's just me though, I prefer a clean, traditional looking amp but if you like all the silver and flashing lights then you'll love it. Pedal looks pretty cool though, sort of professional looking. Overall: Overall, those of you who have read this review and have different view to me then this could be the perfect amp for you. I'd say the 15W and 30W would be a pretty good choice for beginners looking for a startout amp, although I haven't played them. If you're teen rocker and looking for an amp on a budget then the 75W is probably a good choice. But if you're reading all of these reviews trying to convince yourself that this is the amp for you, that its groundbreaking and special and all for such a cheap price don't be naieve. Yes this is a good amp and great value for money, but months down the track the average sound will get you and you will be wishing you forked out more money for a simple 15W tube amp. An amp where you get nice tube overdrive, you dont have to choose between 12 modes and 400 presets on a 2 inch, single-line screen. Don't be a tight-ass like me and settle for something with all the gadgets and none of the heart.

Sound: Nothing sounds clean, even the clean channel, even with the noise filter turned on. This amp provides multiple levels of distortion (metal, insane, crunch, etc.), but I could never get a clean sound, even with the clean and blues channels. Feature: Features on this amp are hype - 400 insane rock star settings, etc. And multi-function knobs are not at all intuitive. And the tuner is not accurate compared to my Korg device. Ease of Use: Not easy to use. knobs are digital, not analog, so you don't have well defined settings - you're always starting from the programmed setting. And there's no roadmap provided for the hundreds of "insane" rock star settings. What's with the "insane" bs, is this amp just for kids, albeit kids with money?? Quality: Don't know, so gave it a middle score. Value: Not expensive for all the features, but the features need to work better to have any value. Manufacturer Support: Support starts with the instruction manual, which is very poor. The functions are not clearly defined (though they are extremely hyped), and there is no roadmap for the model settings. The Wow Factor: Having bought it, I no longer want it. Too difficult to use, and everything sounds muffled. Overall: Muffled sound, non-intuitive controls, poor instructions.
