yeah the clean setting is s**t i hate the presets though very annoying always having to change them when you turn the amp on...

Read the instructions, smart ass. If you press the preset button (clean, crunch, etc.) for a while, it will save your settings.


Also, neither one of these reviews talked about the noise gate, which is very useful.

And the crunch simulates overdrive, but still sounds like distortion, unfortunately.

for the spider III's they added in the special artist presets on the bigger models.as far as the normal presets on the smaller models(clean,crunch,metal
,insane), they're the same as the spider II I THINK.im not sure though and would actully like to knowi would actully like to as i have the spider II 210 and was intrested in the spider III's but im not guna sell my own and get a III if its just for the artisits presets which iv played and arnt that great,i mean there are some decent ones,but youve got to find them among the not so good ones shall i say

The default effects for any channel can be changed by holding down the button for that channel. You do not need to turn it up any louder than barely audible to get any sound, as it is solid state and will sound the same at every volume. If it doesn't its a defect.

Also, the cleans are ok, but it just plain cant do overdrive/light distortion. The insane channel has so much gain you cant distinguish between any notes no matter what you are playing, which makes the channel almost completely useless. The effects are terrible and you pretty much get one setting for each one, which is not usually the one you want.

i find the spider 3's have more bass to the sound, to the point where it sounds horrible unless you crank it up.
the noise gate has to be the best thing about this entire amp, cuz otherwise it hums and gets feedback like crazy. if you take some time with the eq clean isn't bad, and i find that i lose a lot of my picking definition in insane mode. plus it seems too thick and muddy. metal's ok, not quite as thick. crunch, as previously stated, sucks a$$. note that this is from home practice. we'll see how metal and insane hold up when i get with my band in a couple weeks. i have to use this until i get enough cash to get a cube, which will be about 3 weeks from now (mid-month payday).
does anybody else find that it sounds better through headphones?

the truth is this amp really isn't that good, not even as a practice amp. I don't know why everyone is having an orgasm over this. There are waaay better products out there. The only feature that stands out is the clean mode, and the "insane" setting gets tiring quick. For beginners, it's an OK practice amp to jam on. For intermediate and advanced players, this amp just doesn't cut it. Like I said, there are way better distortion effects out there than this conveniently built-in modeling amp.


for example?

I doubt it though it isn't much worse and the price is almost half of the Marshall 15dfx which I had which was as good or better though for practice the Line 6 is more practical.

Purchased from: Keymusic @ sint-niklaas(sint-nicolas)

Features: The Line 6 Spider 3 (15/75/...) are the best amps i ever had used for it's price. It is a 4 channel amp with 6 effects (up to 2 at a time). It has a headphone jack and a CD/mp3 slot so you can play along with your music. if you ever hase played on it but don't have it you will kill someone for it// 9

Sound: I am using an fender squizer stratocaster. It fits perfectly with my style of music. This little 15w amp can get extremely noisy when it stands on full power, but choose the wrong settings and a lot of feedback comes in. The amp can make pretty decent sound when you have the tremolo and phaser on creates a futuristic kind of sound. Sometimes if there's too much treble/bass or mids the distortion kind of takes over the amp. The clean at high volumes doesn't distort (thankfulyl) but when you turn the amp off and on the clean has a phaser effect on it which can be annoying at times. // 8

Reliability & Durability: now i know how it work without pedal (15w isn't is suported for pedal's what isn't is nessacerie) i whant i bought the 30w with pedal :p // 9

is the clean good and can you choose how much distortion you want it to have¿? can you record with it connecting it directly to the computers, with no need of a mic?

the cleans are good in my opinion, not great but very usable. and if i can remember correctly, i think there is an input for recording.

i agree with LoveIsHell!

I own both, this is a very terrible amp compared to that(though thats not a far comparison).

To anyone looking to buy one of these, please don't. I know its not gonna sound fantastic seeing its a 15w practice amp, but you can find pretty good ones. This is not one of them. Get a peavey vyper, not this, im not just jumping on the bandwagon, I own one and the only setting I can even use is the clean, which isn't that great. The distortion is so horrid on the 15w amp.

This amp has a lot of feedback at high volumes
Yes, it is, but the ampli offer a "Noise Gate" that stops the feedback. The gate is on when holding the delay button and turning the reverb knob up past twelve o'clock, the insane channel light come on..

I have a love-hate relationship. Sounds great, but everytime I turn it on, it's a different sound.

Many reviews say this..this ampli allows to save the sound and the settings that the user creates, just holding the channel button for 4-5 seconds..

i have the 120 watt version, and i swear the sound changes slightly every other time i use it =/ ( i'm not a noob i know how to save my settings on the amp ) i haven't tried the 15 watt, but if it's anything like the 120 watt version, the sounds alright i guess, but you have to tweak around with it a bit, instead of just flickling through all the presets. 400+ presets and they're all mediocre =/. anyone wana buy my spider?

2 of my friends have this amp and i have to say it's quite terrible. Ive messed around for a few hours on this thing and everything sounds sharp like a knife. hurts your ears, and then if u roll down the tone, it sounds like a mud bath. anybody in this review, get a damn tube amp or a regular solid state, not digital shit. U DONT NEED EFFECTS ON A PRACTICE AMP!! why would u buy a junk heap thhat u will grow out of in a year anyways once u realise what a junk box it is.

additional gain (keep pressed TAP DELAY TIME, and move DRIVE to the right, after 12 o'clock - it's on, CLEAN lights. or before 12 o'clock - it's off, CLEAN doesn't light)

or noise gate (pressed TAP... and move ECHO/REVERB to the right, after 12 o'clock - it's on, INSANE lights, or before 12 o'clocl - it's off, INSANE doesn't light)

Sound is hmmm... not bad for 8-inch speaker. It's good choice for home practicing.

I got the 120 watts and it kicks ass if you can actually play and I've been playing for quite some time now. You're clearly just one of these people who jumps on the whole "tube amp bandwagon". Good tone will come from the amp. The best tone will come from your playing though. I will agree that like a 1/4 of the presets do BLOW, but the amp is built for versatility and giving the user plenty of options, the band I play in plays lots of different metal genres so this is perfect for me.

In my opinion, if you say that this amp is crap and so are other solid states, you must value tone over the actual music or just have an insane idea of what good tone is. Because at least in my playing experience, a good guitarist will make any "half decent" amp sound great by playing great music.

You should try the clean settings and then throw in any distortion pedal. It works for me cuz i own this amp. Yes the Insane settings are kinda of muddy but when i had it on the clean channel, i was doing some experimenting with a few distortion pedals that i have and so far the results i've been getting are louder and fatter tones. you just have to tweak with both the amp and pedal setting and you're good to go.

Some people dont bother to read the manual

There is a reason absolutely no (decent) recording artists use digital amps.

B.B. King alone is enough to dispel that myth (a Lab Series L5 player to this day) and he is far from alone.

Many player after a pure clean tone opt for solid state and as such its a popular choice for Jazz players.

the distortion is the only thing that can "save" it...

I've been playing for almost 4 years. My Cort X-1 is gathering dust in my house's storeroom & I don't have any units but I'll probably buy a Boss Metal Zone sooner or later.


DO NOT buy a Boss Metal-zone! that does NOT give you a heavy tone, rather something tinny. I have one built in on my BOSS ME-70, and i never go near the Metal-Zone. Boss released some newer pedals last year that is much better then the metal-zone, most notably the Power-Stack. I Just got a MXR Dime Distortion and thats really good for High gain Distortion, as well as sustain. However i DESPERATELY need a Noise Reduction Pedal.

A crap tubeamp wont be better than a modelling amp in this $100 price range. Theres a reason why they call these practice amps. No good artist will use a crap 1-5 watt $100 tube amp to record anything, theyd use "good" tube amp and likely with a nice pedalboard.

Oh yeah, I have to say that I don't like digital amps any more. Too many sounds to start with (and you are going to use only one or two of them) and they are always lacking something in tone. It's the warmth, the mojo, something, I don't know. I have a Micro Cube, it's OK but it's lacking something. It doesn't get almost there. Yeah and I think that it's time to buy a new amp, it doesn't really do justice to my Charvel guitar.

Tell me where I can find a tube amp with $100. And I think those 1-5 watt amps are made for studio use: You can crank them up without being damn loud. And I don't think any artist uses their pedals for their main sound (maybe an OD or boost). Guitar -> amp is the way to go for your main tone.
