They blow up if you crank it and at a show...you need to crank it...I went through three of these damn things in a total of 5 months....I just switched to a B-52 AT-100 Triple Rectifier with a Digitech Grunge Pedal and a Boss Noise Suppresor...I am in a metal band and that set up works great...I highly recomend it.

I will say...The line 6 sounds good and are great for recording, or quiet at home practice, but they cant at all handle loud volume....And dont get it if your looking for clean tones cuz they sound like crap clean.

I just purchased one of these off ebay because I hear it's one of if not the best in it price range. I've been wondering though, of the presets, what songs does it have by Metallica, Slayer, Linkin Park, and Slipknot? And does it have some of the newer songs such as the Day that Never Comes by Metallica? Last question: Can you add more song presets from online?

Thanks.

As far as I know, you can't update it from online. And The Day That Never Comes came out after this amp did.

F**K LINE 6! I HATE MODEL AMPS! NO TONE! This amp is for people who dont know how to set settings or know a f**king thing about tone.
you are an actual idiot. First, tone is not something you need to know about to enjoy or comment on. Tone is subjective and varies from person to person based on a variety of things, the least of which is experience. Tone is something that one finds with one's ears. You are a total dumbass

These so called tone experts speak as if they have been awarded with some kind of special powers when it comes to "assessing tone". I think that they really should take a leap of faith and move out of mommy and daddy's basement and prepare for a good solid kick in the nuts from captain reality.

hi im new to guitars and amps. i only practice in the bedroom and use a marshall mgdfx 15 watt amp. can this head be used on its own and is it loud. or do i need to get a cab with it. cheers.

negative....halfstacks are divide into two things, the amp and speakers...your marshall is a "combo" amp meaning it has the amp and speaker together. a halfstack amp such as this is seperate so if you wanted to play the amp through different speakers and visa versa...so to answer you question, you cant use amp heads on their own, you need a speaker cab...and dont listen to haters on here...i have this amp and even though it may not sound the best compared to $2000 dollar amps...its extrememly versatile and will help you find your guitar playing "voice"

just make sure the ohms and resistances match up...i'm not an expert on that but you should use this amp on any cab that can handle its power.

I felt like being helpful today

Believe me, I could definitely pick out a $3000 Marshall over spider, or any tube amp for that matter. There are even better sounding ss amps out there like the vyper. Dont get me wrong the spiders a good practice/bedroom amp but anything over the 30 watt version is overkill imho. For the kind of money you spend on a spider stack you can get a decent tube amp.
