All user reviews for the Line 6 Spider II 15

Amp 15 watts at line6 emulation.
4 channels: clean, crunch, metal, insane

Effects: echo / tremolo

UTILIZATION

Ultra-easy to use!

SOUNDS

Sound crap.

Not for the music, no music.

The clean is hilarious because it is so soft and artificial.
I do not even dare to mention other sounds.

Only the insane is handy if you want to piss off your neighbors

OVERALL OPINION

I must have 2-3 years of scratching when I bought it.

It rots now in my basement and I'd be too ashamed to sell.
The crazier is that the stuff seems to stick out: moisture, bleach, crowbar, Taiser, nothing happens, it continues to make noise when you use it.

If it again, I'd go running.

If you want to get into comedy, this amp could make your case.

This amp is 15 watts but it seems as if its more, there is a lot to this amp that most people don’t appreciate but you would have to listen to it in person to really get the sound and feel of it. I am a fan of it after just jamming on it for 30 mins. I love the chorus and reverb on it, very clean.


UTILIZATION

It's pretty easy to dial up some decent tones through this amp. I don't think I ever had to crack open the manual. But, there is one major flaw to this amp: when switching between channels there is a long delay. Perhaps this is the "analog circuitry" taking its time, but whatever the reason it renders the amplifier unusable for switching between channels in the middle of the song. I'm pretty good with timing, but I could never get it down for punching in additional gain (from the other channel) for guitar solos. That being said, if someone didn't do a lot of channel changing, I guess this would be a decent amplifier, or it would have to be used and miked only in a studio environment where quick switching isn't necessary.


SOUNDS

This amp is no longer being made though, it has been replaced with a newer model. I havent had a chance to get my hands on the new model yet. I will soon though, sure you wont need a manual for that one either. Very easy to start using it.


OVERALL OPINION

This is a decent sounding amp, even though it's a Behringer. I had one problem with the input connection falling apart, probably due to its cheap manufacture. For a high school kid, it might be a good first amp for playing with friends, considering the low cost. But, as mentioned about, the delay in switching channels really hinders the users ability to play with this amp.

Small Amp 15watts but having more epuissance after a fender 15W exmeple ..
- Taking Headphones, taking guitar (.....) and a plug for connecting a CD player or other pr switch background music.
- Reverb, echo, tremolo effect, Chorus and Flange Chorus.

UTILIZATION

Easy adjustment, since the number of selectors (5 for sound, two effects)
Manuel fairly clear and available online in pdf format.
-Easily change between "Clean", "Crunch", "Metal" and "INSANE !!!!" (Just a click of a button).

This amp is all that is simpler in terms of use.

SOUNDS

- Playing a lot of metal this amp suits me perfectly including the type "Insane" with a huge distortion!
-The sound is very correct with respect to distortion, (Metal, Insane ...) however, his "Clean" is disappointing compared to a fender, a little soulless ... and I find that the toothless Crunch (paradox? lol) but it is very versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and I'm still satisfied even if Marshall might have been the welcome for a comparable price. For the sake of brevity I will say that this amp is a little amp versatile enough, but is best suited for fans of Metal or another, but for those who are interested only in sounds clear, they can find better now! (Fender. ..)
The value for money remains honest.
If I had the opportunity to buy an amp I'll stay on my little Line 6 because I think it is for a first amp, very convenient (I play in my room ...).

It is a 15 watt amp transistor.
It has on the front came to a cd or mp3 to allow music to play on a (very practical)
There are 6 Chorus flanger, reverb, tremolo, phaser, and two kinds of echo (sweep and tape) left two buttons
There are 4 channels a "clean" "crunch" "metal" "insane"
Only downside: no entry for a footswitch but it's not very annoying because if you have a pedal apart it does not matter at all!
But this is offset by a noise gate of very good quality and a boost ki is really!!

UTILIZATION

This must be the easiest amplifier to use in the world! lol just fupport a hard button to select the channels and settings are really simple.
The manual is super light and more is in four languages, including french and allows presets to note not to forget

SOUNDS

The sounds are very good especially the channel that achieves Insane sounds Dement!
The crunch channel is good and the metal channel is great it can really get the sounds made of metal!
The clean channel is good but if you put the boost on the clean channel you get a little distortion is good but not too serious
This amp provides a very wide range of sound and good quality
The effects are of great good qualities (the reverb!)

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using less than a year following very satisfied and I I love the fact that it is equipped with a boost and a gate and nose rings made vremeni hard to kil a 15 watts! !
The ratio Q / P is more than satisfactory because I paid under 200 euros and I met following totalemen

Amplin 15 watt transistors
4 channels: clean, crunch, mtal, insane
knobs: drive, low, mid, treble; chan flight master
knobs of effects (the possibility of two times!): chorus flange / phaser / tremolo, sweep echo / tape echo / reverb

UTILIZATION

Pretty simple, good efficiency of knobs
Big flaw: NO * @ FOOTSWITCH FOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHANGE OF TEXTBOOKS EFECT (o with the feet for skilled +!)

SOUNDS

Excellent!
I play mtal (Metallica Nile through Meshuggah) and s' fits rather well
channels:-clean: nice but not transandant ...
-Crunch: the good old crunch of AC / DC & the old group is hard Submitted!
-Mtal: the channel j 'is most often used for nickel sounds quite heavy palm-muting & but the sound is too cold
-Insane: l l LA we realize the power of the amp! that is not 15 watts, that is the 50! the top for aggressive distos & Kerry King's solos! but quickly becomes the slurry ...

effects are not bad but not great either

OVERALL OPINION

I have 10 months
distos drafts, pretty good effects
this is my first amp and it suits me but I'm starting don 'tie ...!
I have a ds mag pay 200 prs from home but it is 160 (!) on thomann
I do not know if I do it again for it is perfect for beginners like me (no need for pedals, at least for now) that is also nickel s' lead at home but I think that I ''ll have to take one of a transistor for a more authentic

PS: the footswitch is 120 euros but !!!!!!!!!!!

Apli a tristors 15W, an input jack, an mp3 and a headphone output pr.
otherwise 4channels clean metal crunch and insane.

UTILIZATION

VERY VERY simple to use, manual clear but useless so the amp is simple.
Bespin not to tamper with pr for 3 days to get her a drink.

SOUNDS

Well, with an objective to learn the guitar pr cheap, it goes well it adapts just about anywhere, beware, eh! Not about to set foot ds a group with AC, or it will make a cd.Cepandant ds pr train very well the room and not do anything ac thanks to its 4 channels

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last one year, and good, until the AC was fine but I am beginning to lasser.ceci said if you currently have little or no it you are on a drive or an equivalent dung, n'esitez not! Now my orreille s' is refined but hey it irritates m the ratio q / pn is not too bad.

At this level the not much to say. For beginners it's nickel. Lots of sounds, effects Different. It seems to me quite powerful although I have no point of comparison.

UTILIZATION

The manual is rickety and résumé plutt a simple poster. But any good fawn is fairly intuitive and you get easily sounds DLIR. Can be a little precision in the default buttons. It may seem sometimes quite random image and it can be difficult to reproduce exactly the sound which was played yesterday. Well it says it is possible to memory. So ...

SOUNDS

To me it's the only down injured. In fact this amp has two cts. On ct found sounds really nice with some distortion or anything else and it's really nice because it quickly to buy 5 pedals effect. As against the clean is really frustrating. This is because hyper pnible to find a clear, warm and enjoyable it is mission impossible. So to play the blues for example it's hot. So this was all to say that noise has to be DLIR but not to get a good clear sound.

OVERALL OPINION

This is less than a year I use it and I think change for an amp that will sound clean me dlivrer enjoyable leaves Intgr abandon all the effects which are all fawn soon limits. Either a good qualitprix for beginners to try if we do not want to play stuff that rclament a good clear sound. For my part if I could go back in time I will not purchase this amp. This is because it does not really fit my needs.

15W transistor
4 channels (clean, crunch, metal and insane)
effects: chorus, phaser, tremolo, reverb and echo ...

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear trs, in any Manir we hardly need to share some functions "caches" as the noise gate!

otherwise, a small problem, the rglages for subtle effects really miss ...

SOUNDS

It is really a clean forgotten that he is not remembered for the amp ...

- The crunch is not bad, may be missing some teeth! but good way to get sound by pushing a little!

- Mtal the trs is good! I love to do solos on that channel, make prcis trs ..

- N'tant mtalleux not, I use never Insane ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for just over 1 year (waoo dj!)

it's a good amp puor all beginners looking for something relatively versatile (well unless the beginners looking for the clean)

good value / quality prices

As I give biezn progress, I think I'll offer me another amp much better, I nenmoins it enjoyable for my beginners with the guitar ...

- What kind of amplification: transistor
- What is the power delivered? : 15watts, more than enough for the home.
- It takes one input jack, and a CD/MP3 player in a headphone.
- 4 channels: clean, crunch, metal, insane + 4 effects: chorus / flanger, phaser, tremolo and also, sweep echo, tape echo and reverb.

Many sounds possible, it's cool ^ ^

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is fairly simple to use force we know how it works!
- To the sound Yeah. Be sought after ...
- The manual is clear, we learn some tricks.

SOUNDS

I use a LTD F-50, I play instead of black, heavey ...
So, for my part, the clean sound is rotten. On the other hand it must be perfect to play The Cure and other groups in the genre.
The crunch is good enough to play Nirvana, Nickelback, AC / DC (blah blah) etc ... must know the rules!
Metal, yeah, I like it too much. For me it does not generate enough distortion.
The insane is better than metal. We get a good distortion in the kind black / death, but hey not expect something to nag! But it is still quite éhéhéhé.

Effects:
Chorus / Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo I do not use it too (except for delirious).

The sweep is not bad echo, tape echo is the best but the reverb is to throw beuark (it makes more noise than anything else!)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months. Diponibles sounds are not bad, good for beginners. I think the little extra of this amp is insane.
I bought becaufe I had read good reviews.
This is a good price / quality ratio!

If the choice had to be rebuilt I would change the amp. I think I turned to a simple transistor amp with good distortion pedal!

All had been said about the presentation.
15 Watts

UTILIZATION

YES
Its very difficult to deal with buttons ... more qu'aproximatifs
Manuel clear

SOUNDS

Not because I want a cleaner sound
Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus
The Clean is zero no clarity
The Crunch no better
The synthetic metal
The Insane ... may be the only usable

OVERALL OPINION

9 months
Value for money bought 195 Euros
No, I turn towards a Hughes and Kettner Edition Blue 15

Modlisation amp 15 watts.
This is one that pushes 15 watts not bad for a 15 watts because I play in a group with (my drummer has a battery electronic, so was going ...). Same limit is when RPTES level limit for power.
For connectivity it has an output to put a headphone which is pretty sound and there's also a dgeulasse location for connecting an MP3 player. It's pretty fun but nothing more.
Too bad there is no connection for a footswitch, but 15 watts is not expected to play in groups, so there's no real interest somewhere.
The amp is 6-dot two effects simultanment. chorus / flange, flanger, tremolo, echo, reverb.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is fairly simple. no frills. 2 minutes and go.
Should not go wrong even when the knobs to get a good sound.
As against the manual is not clear trs, it's just a small Leaflets really basic.

SOUNDS

I play punk / rock and a lot of other styles on it. I play it with a Mexican Start. There are 4 channel:
-Clean: it's really the big weakness of this amp. The clean is really weird and lifeless.
-Crunch: a formulation based on a marshall trsrussie I got. I arrive with my guitar sound trs get close to that of Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand, for example. And decreasing the gain, surprise! we arrive to find a more clean drinking the channel of the same name.
Mtal-I think that the distortion level of play allows the cannal mtal but does well enough to type the punk rock green day even if I find that the sound is rather cold
-Insane: for mtalleux. Not bad but really what nimporte when you push the gain background
for effects, chorus and flange flanger its really not bad, what can not be said for trmolo. on my MODEL and the cho revrbe not work so I can not tell you.
Another small point, if you plan to buy a device such as POD and plug into this amp is not the best choice because it is an amp to modlisation, ruined the sound a little bit. You could not get the full potential of POD or other.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year, and really for beginners is the foot, it sounds a lot better than what you get in a classic amplifier for beginners (drive, stagg ...)
The ratio quality price is really interresting. Too bad some are bad.
But I rpeter for beginners this amp is super

- Amp modlisation
- Power 15 Watt (prciser I want it more than enough for rptition and even for small concerts, in terms of power, I'm at 4 / 10 and I'm trs hear, arrter need to say that 15 watts is not enough ... the APRS quality sound is good at this level, I do not know what to give a 7 or 8 but of all fawns, there is now taken up by the sound, so nothing has to have is 100 Watts ...)
- 3 * 2 Intgr Effects: possibility to put two things at the same time, including Chorus, Reverb, Delay ...
- Sons of 4 bases: Clean, Crunch, Metal, Insane

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple plutt. There is MODELS 4 Intgr dj sound in the amp, which allows us to immediately find in DIFFERENT ways. The manual is correct and provide the information our ncessaires comprhension.

SOUNDS

La, a plot thickens ... This is my first amp, and I could compare it with other amps on the same price range. Discoveries is an amp for those who do not yet know the world of guitar. He can see some effects that exist (say the main, much) of <<goter>> DIFFERENT sounds fast ...

(I use an Ibanez Rg 320, and I play mostly metal, with as walks (normal). So I use the clean mode and distortion.)

But ...
-> The clean sound is OK.
-> Crunch ... Aie Aie Aie is pretty bad. It seems that the clean buzz ...
-> Mtal: Bwof, trs not convincing. You really look good and play with the effects to be able to find something <<potable>>, and again.
-> Insane: Good for rhythm ... More difficult for the rest. I join the opinion of another user who said that from quickly boiled. I do not know if it's me or him but it's hard to play solos cleanly.

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it for a year, and I look for a lamp, because the sound <<bouillie>>, the long apse.

So I would say it's an amp Discoveries, to learn the effects and DIFFERENT DIFFERENT sounds that can give us the amps. So for 100 euros OCCAZ is good. APRS is you make your choice by testing and comparing it against other amps.

Even with all default, I think I would do this choice because it allowed me to immediately find all the effects there were, and make my own sauces music.

Everything t-trs well prcdemment cit,
I add just that for a 15 Watt power is really patante, he can go trs fort (by the way I never could put a bottom, so it is strong). In the manual it is described as maximum power is 75watt ....
There is a port for MP3, one for headphones (big jack) and a guitar.
It has some basic effects, chorus flange, phaser, tremolo, sweep echo, tape echo and reverb! not bad!

UTILIZATION

-The setup is simple, you press the desired (clean, crunch, metal, insane) and HOP magically gives her a DIFFERENT each time, which can then edit with the basic buttons. .. Drive, Bass, Mid, Treble ... And it was that the plot thickens ... The sound is always bad, and even in rglant buttons, there is bad.

Easily obtained-sound, that's for sure! But the bad sound ... Poor quality cold, loud, there is always something wrong with the sound, and you get never get what you want.

Clearly, the manual is useless but has some hidden effects from knowledge, but it is best to tickle the craft.

SOUNDS

-Say it is versatile, though.

-I played it with various guitars, the sound still came out the same quality not so good ...

In most cases, I played clean mode + effects. The effect Insane is horrible, we can test only 5 minutes at a time before being taken severe headaches. Other effects are forgotten.

-The sounds that I prfre? None. Russian I never get anything good from this amp, I got a guitar for beginners, I'm dbar as soon as possible.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for beginners in October 2006. (I took a Fender Vibro Champ XD place)

AIM-I do not much about this amp ... One thing I apprcie ... Uh ... Say, its looks, it trs pretty silent and visually quite modern (if t was only the sound as beautiful as this amp ...).

"I had not tried before buying, I did not know absolutely nothing in amps. I bought it on the advice of a salesman, who told me that this amp niquel accompany me in my little life as a guitarist. False. Haha!

The quality-price report ... Boaarf. In the era I pay nine this amp more than 200 and less than a year later he was down .... dja 100 ... It hurts.

-With the exprience, I DO NOT EVEN choice would do!
It served me well, and with my aid in learning the electric guitar! Dsormais it is sold and forgotten trs trs fast for me.

This little amp is nice priced and convenient amp. Much like the 75 watts it retains most of the features from the original amp modeling amps that line 6 starting making years ago. Now they have updated it to the modern times and it sounds not have bad. The tones of this amp I like a little better than the original Spider amps that I was previously used too. Line 6 has upped their tones in these new amp models with better tonal response.

Spider II 15 packs six Smart Control FX including, Phaser, Chorus/Flanger, Tremolo, Sweep Echo, Tape Echo, and Reverb. All effects can be easily tweaked and delay times can be adjusted using tap tempo.

UTILIZATION


FEATURES:

* 4 amp models: Clean, Crunch, Metal & Insane
* 6 Smart Control FX (2 simultaneous) including Phaser, Chorus/Flanger, Tremolo, Sweep Echo, Tape Echo, and Reverb.
* 4 User-programmable channels
* Tap Tempo
* CD/MP3 input jack
* Headphone/Direct Out for practice or recording
* Custom 8-inch Speaker

SOUNDS

I have always had a problem with amp modeling since they don't sound anything like a real amp. Don't get me wrong this unit will not sound like a real amp. But ti will get you in the ballpark of how they should sound. This amp is not designer to rival real tube amps but give a learner or beginner a great start at learning the electric guitar.

I like this amp with just about any guitar. Since it is a modeler you can use a Fender Strat for some blues or clean tones and switch over to a Les Paul or another humbucking style guitar for some rock or metal tones.

This is fun little amp for practicing and that is about it. You are never going to gig with this amp or probably never record with it. You might get laughed out o the recoding session. However, it really wasn't intended to be that.

OVERALL OPINION

This amp is not longer in production and has been updated in a newer model. You can find it on the used market for under $99. This amp is marketed a the beginning guitar player who needs an amp with a load of effects and options. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone trying to start a band or responding to a craiglist ad looking for a guitar player with a lot of sounds. So for the learner player this would be fine.

Like the previous ones opinion patant power for a 15W

UTILIZATION

Not need the manual so easy!
a faith more for a 15W his patant.

SOUNDS

I play on a 150W spiderII recent years and of course we must not compare is not the same price either! But I am surprised and enjoyable to play in my apartment is enjoyable trs good sound without pushing the volume.
I play guitar and diffrent I can assure you that unlike the previous ones opinion I hear a diffrence between the sound of my epiphone std and that of my gibson supreme. It is true that the crunch is a bit dcevant, but the effect 'mtal' and 'insane' make pretty good I think.

OVERALL OPINION

I play with for a few months before I jou on laney I deprecated (no comment). Rolland: trs means. Marshall: super sound, enjoyable and powerful but expensive and over the low end is not great and fragile. Line 6: if the way out of the mtal but enjoyable play for me the best quality price.

As for his only 15W of default for me is that there is possibility to have a foot-switch.

Still for me is a master purchase for beginners or 2nd amp for those who live in an apartment and do not want to play with a headphone and if like me you find it on E-60 bay ...
