A good practice amp for a beginner, but after you play bigger and better things you'll never feel right using this to play in the van or anything -- would rather use a Vypyr in that situation.

It's pretty common knowledge that the insane channel is shit. The Metal channel is much more authentic, but it takes a lot more tweaking. At least that's how it is on the spider 75.

"The Spider IV 15 amp models have been revoiced, the back is now a "3/4" style,and there is now an FBV controller jack for the FBV2 or FBX Express pedal."

The Spider IV is definitely an improvement, I played the amp for an hour or two at Guitar Center. It's got a fuller, bigger sound, but I still dislike how digital it sounds -- though to untrained ears it will sound great.

Agreed, the spider sound sucks in comparison to a decent amp. My brother has an IbanezS520ex, 2 joe satriani style humbuckers, sounds awful thru the old spider III 15 watt amp, digital and lacking in depth.

And what about writing that

The amp has never broken down and it doesn't look like it will any time soon. Very reliable, strong and durable.

and than giving it a rating of 1 for reliability and durability because the fbv pedal broke? Go to the effects review and trash the pedal there.

I picked one up recently and thought the phaser was screwed up until I read the instructions (I'm a guy, I usually don't "do" instructions). The amp comes preset from the factory with what they think are good settings. They can be reset by holding down the channel button for a few seconds. The lights will all light up and then it's reset.

This!^ Ive had one for a little over 6 months I believe and it took me a while to figure that out. for the money you can't do a whole lot better. i've seen people flame this and also the Vyper so whatever. Of course I'd get something better if I could afford it but I don't get into all thos crazy effects anyway. Clean and Crunch is all I need. I also just got a RP90 by Digitech which is fun to play with and has a lot of differant settings. So far this setup is working for me.....

There is much, much worse out there man. Ever played a Fender MH 500? I played an MH halfstack beside my Spider III and the Spider sounded 100x better.

I'm actually convinced that the MH 500 is the worst solid state amp ever. I don't know how many different EQ settings I tried it always sounded the same. Terrible lol

Just never turn the gain up past 5 or six, and play it loud. Not so bad.

But yeah, what I just said doesn't apply to a 15 watt amp.

I've fallen while amp shopping and can't get up.

Because of finances I can't afford the Sundown 35 watt amp and the additional postage.
So it looks like I better get this damn Line 6 Spider IV 15 watt sucker.

I'm only game for another amp because my son-a-biatchin' Ibanez TB 15R locks me out of the Gain knob on clean channel.
So, my question is: Can I use Gain on the clean channel with this mofo?
I understand from the reviews that this biatch does a lot, but I need to know if it's got a "Middle" and "Reverb" knobs-- I think it does, but am not sure because of how Line6 labels its crap.
Please msg me here or at MajesticMeteor@yahoo.com with answers to my whining, please.

As stated, I'm only game for an amp if it has a Gain knob and lets me use it on clean channel. And I need those Reverb and Middle knobs too. These things together are actually hard to find all together on affordable crap like this, believe me.

I do hope that an owner of one of these biatches gets back with me.
Thank-you.

fail! lol... what I was trying to say, was that this amp sucks... for beginners, fair enough, it has loads of different sounds... but they are all pretty bad in the grand scheme of things... If you have a computer.. I suggest getting some kind of virtual amp software like POD Farm or Amplitube or something like that.. its cheaper, and if you want sound variety that's the best way to go.

But you can find better amps than Spiders for that price. Buy a Roland Cube, it's better. It's not so noisy and it doesn't have that "insane" sound which is even noisier. Cube doesn't sound so digital, I like its Marshall sound. Line 6 clean is a bit better though. With some chorus it sounds very nice. I like my Roland's clean, too. (I don't use any other amps than the Classic Stack any more. I just turn the gain down and there's the clean sound.)

The clean channel sounds good but like someone else mentioned, you can't get a full clean tone because even with the effects off, you still get that tape echo that can be annoying.

And last but not least, this amp is what it is. A $100 practice amp, I would not carry it past my bedroom or basement, it's barely loud enough to play over drums. I would laugh at anyone who would show up at a gig with this thing. 15 watts is not exactly gig material!

Good starter amp. Clean channel doesn't sound great. Insane and Metal are pretty good, just got to tweak it a little. I like the last line of the first review, "I wouldn't drop the amp". Good call bud.

BBE Sonic stomp makes the cleans on this a lot better. Worth getting regardless if you plan to keep the Spider or not.

Just another useless modelling crap. It sounds so terrible, I can't imagine how someone could actually play on this. But perhaps imagination is a huge force: it makes people "hear" things that don't exist. You probablly need to learn how to use modeling amps.

Modeling amps lack the "character." They sound boring and Line 6 Spider is one of those amps. I mean, there are better modelers, Spider is one of the worst I have tried. When you turn it up, it hurts your ears. I haven't heard of any other amp that could do the same. It has some high frequencies that no other amp has. Spiders are OK for practice. But for anything else... just meh.

I'm actually convinced that the MH 500 is the worst solid state amp ever. I don't know how many different EQ settings I tried it always sounded the same. Terrible lol Trust me. It's not. The sp10 is the worst.
