the only thing id change/add is perhaps include a more jazz tone, a spikey trebly lightly overdriven tone, the similar to the blues one, but that can be too bassy for my liking

The effects arent brilliant, but whos buys an amp for the effects? For 75 watts it can pack a punch and doesnt need micing up in most halls/venues.
Great amp.

I'm sorry.. the Celestion speaker is pretty damn nice.

But you can keep the edits, cuz I'm pretty sure they're not gunna make it sound any different from the digital piece of shit it is. It has a horrible tone in any environment. Idiots like the guy from Evenesence use it for god sakes. And yeah, I know about the noise gate because you HAVE to use it or else you'll sound like the guitarist from The Chariot. And I'm well aware of the tuner and the gain boost secret features too, neither of which I find very effective. It's also so stupid easy to bump a knob and have like, the chorus and the sweep echo come on and your volume double or something. You might have bad taste in tone enough to like this thing, but there are so many better choices out there for the money.

some 'features' of my line 6 amp:
- a tape echo that cant be turned of
- a build in reverb
- an somewhat too cruncy crunch channel
- and go on

i only use this amp with the insane sound which is mediocre the others are too poor to play

Once you go valve amp, you never go back. Why buy something that only emulates something when you can have the real deal, I think I'll stick with my modded blues junior thank you very much.

well it's a review for the product, if it we're just people praising it wouldn't it be biased?

when i was just about to play one, the guitar tech said,"Those amps are garabge, I'd stay awway from that."

badman86: That is true, and I leave people to their opinions. However, you may agree with me in saying that it would be nice if they didn't go ranting about how shitty a company is on a public site. It would be better just to say "This amp really doesn't cut it, in my opinion it isn't worth the money" instead of swearing and going all pissy.

when it's a relatively anonymous online message board system, people tend to let loose their restrictions on word choice and just drop them f-bombs or wutever. i think online reviews when written by "certain" people tend to be more exaggerated than they actually are. For me i am biased towards analog technology when it comes to guitars, and all my gear are analog circuitry so when i see "digital modeling" or something i feel its never as good as the real deal of which it tried to copy.

It really is all personal preference, and I'm sure I'll end up buying a really high-end amp later on (tube Marshall or Mesa/Boogie), but I just don't have the money now. Right now this is the amp for me.

Protip: The "green" metal distortion with the drive at ~5 and the mid at ~4 makes one hell of a tight hardcore tone...no muddyness, and brutal as hell.

The effects sound amazing on this guitar - for all you naysayers who say it sounds too digital, you haven't heard digital until you've listened to a Digitech pedal. This amp comes nothing close to sounding digital at all! As with all things, I sat down and messed around with the amp for a good 6 weeks before I was able to get AMAZING tone out of it (needless to say half the time I was truly ****ing around). Any tone that I have heard in a song I have been able to pull out of this amp with such ease and understanding that it was almost as if the amp did it itself.

But, don't get me wrong. I'm not as biased as you think. I've been in a band and played on MESAs, Fenders, Crate, Kustoms... you name it and I've most likely had some experience with it. For it's price and versatility, this amp easily gets a 10 and blows away many of those amps that are so ridiculously priced (I can just see all you bandwagon losers bashing me right now for this one).

Out of experience and knowledge, don't bash on this amp just because a blatantly ignorant comment you just-so-happened to hear from someone. And with all things, be more open-minded and respect people's opinions.

As far as I know, Line6 does not make amps where it's impossible to turn off the effects.

I tried a Les Paul with this, sounded like crap. A Strat, still sounded like crap. Is it my thousand dollar guitars, or is it my crappy ass practice amp?

Maybe you need to practice?

Haha! I'm going to die of laughter!

On a more serious note, I have the model down from this amp, the 2002 edition of the Spider II, and I have to say that mine is a fantastic little amp. It does belt out a hell of a volume, although with the Insane sound I can't help but thinking the Metal effect was a bit pointless. Mine is a 30 Watt / 12 inch output, by the way, so I'm not sure what power you are talking about with this one but mine is brilliant. Would never replace a £2500 Marshall with FX pedals, however, but you can't call it a "practice" amp either.

i have to say.. if you try and set this amp up you'll probably be disapointed at first, it does take a while to learn what sounds work well with this amp. but once you find the right settings it has some killer sounds.

im using a custom warlock with super distortion pickups and this amp works perfectly with the sound.

and unlike most amps with a warlock you dont just get a hissy mess. defnitly a good buy (got it for £140 coz i know the guy in the shop haha)

Channel:insane
Drive:full
Bass:half
Mid:NONE (the amp gives loads anyway)
Treble:Full (doesn't sound tinny in the slightest)
Reverb:i like full but try half if ur not sure

NOTE:these setting work best with the bridge humbucker

ANYWAY.....at the end of this stupidly long comment (i couldn't resist) i thouroghly recommend this unless you find a peavey or vox at half the price.

I got to use a Line 6 212 a few times at one of the practice studios my band uses, and all I can say is damn... It sounded awesome! I played with the settings, and my drummer even asked me how I got it to sound like that, because our previous guitarist couldn't get that sound... I just know what I like. And it was hella loud! It made me think twice about my decision to get a Crate GLX 120 half stack. Don't get me wrong, Crate is awesome, but I really like how the Line 6 sounds!

I have to laugh when people diss Line 6! No one has hearing attuned enough to hear the "digital" in these amps. If so, why the hell would James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett use Line 6 stomp boxes??? Sure they use Mesa's and Marshall's, but who wouldn't making their kind of income?

I doubt as to whether some of the haters even own or have owned a Line 6 amplifier, let alone tried one out at a store! If you own a different brand of amplifier, why come to another brand's review page? If you're so happy about what you own, why rain on what other people are happy about?

Personally, I like it, and will buy a half stack soon. I don't care what people think... Line 6 is awesome!

The biggest reason to own a Line 6 is the value. For under 300$ you can do so much. First things first, throw the presets out the window. Make your own and save them instead. If you are looking for clean or overdrive you will need to crank the amp a little or it will sound too hollow and too fuzzy. Even when they are cranked, there is still plenty of room for improvement. The metal tones for this amp are pretty great. I use the insane model, but i cut back on the drive a little, add more bass and fix the mids sweep, and it can definitely explode a few heads.

If you are a beginner this amp is PERFECT for you. Chances are that you have not solidified what direction you want to take your playing, so with this amp you can figure that out first before dropping the big bucks.

I would also recommend that you not stay with this amp forever. Its not a matter of opinion, there are better amps than this one, but those amps are also much more expensive. I got my Vox AC30 now that my playing has gone that direction, and it sounds much better, but I would have never gotten to that point without the line 6.

a Roland Cube? you've got to ****ing kidding me, a Line 6 has NOTHING on the Roland Cube either, and dude of course the Mesa is a better amp overall, you cant compare it to a Line 6. MARSHALL takes a million years to get a good sound out of it, it took me 20 mins to get a nice clean sound on an Epiphone LP, and then another 30 mins to get a nice distortion setting.and if you werent such a moron and used your ****ing head, you should have used Line 6 Edit online so you can tweak your settings the way you want them, they also have extra presets online, also turd brain there's a noise gate in the amp, watch the Line 6 videos, i love my 212 combo and i play a 112 combo every time i got to GC just for fun, if you dont like this amp, dude you've got some problems.

Fixed. This amp isn't as bad as people make out, I think it's quite good, but I much prefer my own Roland Cube 60.

damn right, I have this amp, and after the trade in of some other stuff I had to pay $100 for it in cash, it was 200 used, and I love it. Before I had a 15W Crate, and honestly, that had no noise cancellation, and heavy gain would even go noisy with humbuckers.

I had a choice between this, and a MG30 for the same price, or I could get the same amp I just sold. Pretty obvious choice.

I know it isn't a great tube amp, and I know I'll get laughed at when I go to small gigs with it, but I have no job, no money, and couldn't get better unless I stole a new amp.

It's got one decent clean sound (red clean) and many decent distorted ones (both crunch, both metal, one of the insanes, the other is crap though)

seriously, you guys don't need to make people like us feel worse because we're poor. I seriously don't think there is anything wrong with it for the price, as some of us can't afford $100 unless we skip meals for a few weeks.

my spider 75 watt is good at super low levels, where the feedback is bearable.

And I don't get it. With a non-digital amp you will get many sounds and one real amp has much more variety than one amp model of the same amp. It may have even as much variety as the whole modeling amp. So I recommend you to buy a non-digital amp and if you want effects, buy a chorus and delay. Those are all you need at the beginning (and maybe a phaser). Of course the amp must have distortion and clean, if it doesn't just buy a distortion pedal.
