Feature:
great feature set, check out the Line 6 Site for more info

Quality:
seems very very well made

Value:
$589.00 for a blem - this amp will kick your a**

Desirability:
has a vintage look - but the absolutely sexiest feature is the Bogner logo on the grill :)

Sound:
has to be heard to be believed!!!!!

Ease of Use:
very easy to get up and running quickly, although to take advantage of this amps effect a FBV shortboard is best - I will be ordering one soon

Support:
can not rate as I have not contacted support

Overall:
I ordered the spider valve on monday and recieved it tuesday - and that was ground shipped!!! as a long time user of the original Pod Pro (eeprom 1.41) I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. The guitar input on the pod stopped working this last weekend so I went shopping for a combo amp, spent many many hours pouring over reviews and settled on the spider valve. Figuring if I did not like it I could always return it to zzounds. after 2 minutes of playing thru it with my rg7620 holy sh**. You would have to pry this puppy from my cold dead fingers, this is without a doubt the best sounding amp I have ever heard. The artist/song presets are ok but require slight tweaking for optimal sound. I can not believe how good this amp sounds, after playing the Pod Pro thru a reference amp and monitors I am ready to not bother fixing my pod and tossing it in the trash. I used to scoff at the "tone Snobs" but after using the valve I have been converted. This is a slippery slope, heh heh heh.

Feature:
The effects processor is fantastic. I would prefer that it came with SOME sort of footswitch.

Quality:
I've only had it a few days but it looks and feels VERY well constructed.

Value:
Its a $700 amp and its worth it. The extra $100 for the footswitch kinda bugs me

Desirability:
Its not a "sexy" looking amp but the sound is phenomenal.

Sound:
The only way I can describe this amp is that someone from Line 6 went to hell and grabbed Satan himself and about 200 of his friends and put them in a small box with a Line 6 logo on it. This amp is absolutely unbelievable. And SERIOUSLY loud. I bought it to replace a half stack and it will definitely do that.

Ease of Use:
For as complex as this monster is, its actually very easy to navigate.

Support:
The website is fantastic, but thats the extent of the support I've used. However, the user community is very good for sharing patches and ideas.

Overall:
I've had countless amps and half stacks and I bought this amp to be my stage amp with one footswitch. I'm 38 and I'm tired of humping a halfstack and a pedalboard everywhere we play. This is perfect for that application.

Feature:
unusually easy to use/learn. didn't think line 6 had it I played one circa 1999 or so, wasn't impressed. but they've stepped up their game on this one!! I've already recomended it to two others p.s. excellent choice in the celestion!!!

Quality:
some tones bring up a rattle reminescent of tube or cage buzz haven't taken a look yet, seems to be solid construction kinda hefty

Value:
a good deal

Desirability:
I will use this before I pull out my 100/w head

Sound:
hard to get 10 on most of the new model amps but, this one is darn close

Ease of Use:
I agree with the other player in tweaking the sounds for optimum tone. kinda easy to use though.

Support:
cant rate yet

Overall:
kudos, Line 6!!!!!!!!!

Feature:
No accessories included - though they are available. Plenty of built-in features I at 1st avoided, and now once I started playing with them I just love having! Nothing beats dialing just a certain sound, and then being able to store it for later retrieve at the touch of a button. SO, I can store a real nice setup for my Martin that sounds just like it unplugged (just louder!), and then I will switch to something else I stored with "a bit more" (or a lot more) for the Les Paul. My son also has his own settings for his Squier (when I let him use it) with all the efx he likes to play with. I haven't even explored the presets included in the box. Real tubes, Celestion speaker, plenty of tone control, boost, presence, master volume and channel volume, and even a few effects - what more could a person want?

Quality:
Fit and finish are excellent. No QC problems. I will have to see over the long haul, but so far so good. Once thing I really like is that all the knobs are just right "sensitive"-wise; they offer complete control (esp compared to the Crate Valve) over their range - awesome! No slop, no deadbands - great quality here. Not sure of the longevity of tubes on the road, this is for my home use. It will be fine for me!

Value:
A GREAT sound for the money, with plenty of features to keep gear-heads and tone junkies busy. It was a bit more then I originally intended, but well worth the cost in my opinion...( once I asked myself "why connect a $2000 Gibson to a cheap amp?"). The more I use it the more I am thrilled with my selection. This one would be hard to beat value-wise.

Desirability:
Astetics are nuts on. The size is right, the LEDS and display and options are all sweet bonuses to the great sound. Just setting up/tweaking the amp is part of the fun. VERY nice layout and controls. I admit the Ampeg I looked at was sexier, but this offers so much more and is still pretty sexy too!

Sound:
Went looking for an amp that 1st and foremost would let the clean sound of my LP shine. Extras were not all that important to me. I settled on tube after some comparisons (originally in an effort to save some $$) between some solid states and other tubes. This Line 6 was a REAL pleasant surprise at the end of my hunt; when set to clean with just the basics, it sounded better then an Ampeg, Crate, an Epiphone, etc. I closed my eyes and listened to others play and settled on the Line 6 easily.

Ease of Use:
Getting great sounds is easy; but some thought is involved in storing them and then getting at them, but that is what the manual is for! Read it - it is worth it to get all this amp offers. Some hidden features if desired will mean keeping that manual handy. Overall not too bad once I knew a bit more of what was what.

Support:
Web site has tons of nice info, have not needed to contact Line 6 yet.

Overall:
This one will be a keeper for a long time. I just don't see myself needing or wanting more. As discussed above the clean sounds available from this amp were just what I was looking for, and better then comparable products I tried. As I grow musically I expect to appreciate it even more, and have already enjoyed messing with it more then I thought. I would replace it with another. I like the sound that comes out of it the most. I like the weight the least - but really it isn't bad!
