Can use it to play literally anything!

EVH 150, get the combo if you need to move the amp alot, if not, get the stack or halfstack

This amp is amazing, along with all of the effects they give you to use. I also bought the FBV Express foot pedal, and its fun to change between channels and also play with the wah.

With my 120W, I put the volume up to about 6 1/2 and all my neighbors were all wondering what the hell the noise was. Haha it was amazing.

I know it has been like a month since you posted the question, but I'll answer it. They both have a certain amount of tinnyness to them depending on the channel. If the 400 presets were taken away from the spider 3, it owuld still be much better than the spider 2 since they cleaned up all of the channels and got rid of the annoying insane channel that the 2 had.

Sounded great....till I tried a true all tube amp. I made the mistake of trying a Soldano HR+ 100 out at a guitar center, which forever spoiled me
So I agree this is a decent amp for the price, but it also deserves all the flaming it gets from people. That's only if you have tried this amp and are not just hoping on the "hate Line 6" bandwagon.

the amp is capable of playing quite loudly. I would not advise anyone to buy this product, and if you do, I feel very sorry for you and wish you better luck in future decision making. All in all, this amp is purely for beginners.

Wow, you must really suck at life!That is not fair to say. Most of these people buying these amps are beginners who do not have a good ear for tone yet, or have only ever played through cheap amps before hand.

Let me say that this is a great amp for its price, but even so, there are other amps for the same price that many people think sounds better, with effects built in to. They are the Roland Cubes, Peavey Vypyrs, and Vox Valveatronix(sp). The latter being a bit more expensive because it is a hybrid.

Basically, try many amps out before buying one. Just get whichever sounds best to you.

I wish I still had my Randall to be honest. Im not saying this amp sucks but it certainly does not rule. Sure its great for me cuz I don't gig or anything. By no means does this amp sound like a tube amp on any setting.

I've got a Jackson King V, and i'd probably use my Boss MT-2 through it.

I play in a band that's kinda midground between, Children of Bodom, Dream Theater and Into Eternity.

Does anyone reccomend this amp?

As i know alot of amps are awesome, but can let you down when you plug a distortion pedal in.

If anyone reccomends this, or maybe another amp that'll do the trick?

This is about my ideal price range really, at about £300, but i could go slightly higher, it'd just take longer lol.

cheers for any help.

@ Necro-cide
this is probably one of the BEST amps for metal and distortion leads as well as cleans.. go for it

I wanna get this amp, but was wondering how loud it goes. I would need it for playing outside gigs, without a PA system or anything. I also heard that when hooked up to something external (like a PA) that no sound comes out of the amp, and only out of the externals. Is this true?


I'm not sure about the PA thing, but this amp is seriously loud like most line 6 amps. I haven't had the volume higher than half way yet because it makes the room shake!!

For Metal I use the Crunch channel with very cranked gain. Play with settings and you can get good, semi-organic sound from this thing. Not hugely dynamic - but I'd play live with it and not hate my sound.

Also - I get one of the best cleans I've ever heard from this baby - the only downfall being if you pick hard it starts to break.

Next up I will be getting a Axe Fx Ultra.
