MGR/Andrew McNeill « Line 6 Spider 112 »
Published on 12/21/03 at 15:00I bought this unit at a local guitar store second hand (although in perfect condition, dont even a single scratch or dent). £150 seemed like a really good price for it...
Everything about the amp is likeable. It has a power of 50W and is not that bulky. There are a lot of features and very versatile. You can acheive a clear, clean sound to the 'insane' heavily distorted sound and everything in-between. Also, there are some FX built in that sound great as a bonus feature. These are flanger, chorus and tremelo which can be combined with a delay, tape-echo and ping-pong echos - all of which have a 'tap' function.
To buy a footswitch will set you back a bit.. however, unless your playing live it is not really necessary. There are already 4 memory locations that can be called up at the press of 1 button. Also, when using the insane amp model, any high frequency sounds will often produce a high-pitched shrilling sound
The unit is sturdy and wont break easily. There are also corner protecters to protect both the user and the amp
For £150 it is the best investment I have made in a guitar context. I would have payed a lot more for this unit if it were not priced at £150. If you see one of these and looking for a new amp - buy it..
