30 watt transistor amp ... He potato. I never had to push very far the volume knob (must also say that I play in my room: p). 6 Intgr effects, one can mix two once, I use personal trs little (I find a little gadget) except for the sweep / tape echo from time to time and reverb that I uses it a lot. They can also be via a CONTRL PDAL I did not. The amp is sturdy, the knobs of good quality trs.
Regarding connectivity, the possibility to connect an external source (CD player, or even between the PC via mini-jack) came in handy. If not, well, between a skyscraper ct output of the other. : P
UTILIZATION
Trs easy to use ... Hardly need the manual except for functions caches (a noise gate, and a boost of distortion - by the way, I have not seen a big diffrence). It's pretty simple to find the sound you want. A few times by turning on the amp, I had a "bug" (impossibility to change MODEL amp) but in dyeing and on again, no problem.
SOUNDS
We are dealing amp for beginners, so I knew when you buy that I will not sound fantastic. FYI, I use it with an Ibanez RGR321EX. In fact, this amp combines the good and bad. In clean, no worries. Modlisation the "crunch" is not bad either, only problem, even the distortion grows back, it still lacks a bit. But that's okay. However, the amp MODEL "mtal" is trsdcevant. The sound is rather flat, cold, lack a bit of distortion too ... To me who only plays the mtal, could be a real handicap or ... The MODEL amp "insane" is gnial. : D For me it is what really makes the quality of the Spider III. Playing with rglages can be obtained trs large variety of sound with this modlisation. Well, a still sounds a little cold, metal, etc.. but should not RVer for a transistor amplifier and the price is pretty terrible. : P
OVERALL OPINION
I recently started using a prs year. I bought it as the way beginners, based on my opinions read, CHARACTERISTICS, etc.. Without having tried neither he nor other models. APRS time, my opinion is mixed: a good amp, trs not expensive to get out a big sound mtal is what I was looking for, however j'esprais a little more versatility and sounds better to play softer.
In terms of quality-price ratio, I can hardly speak but I will say "good no more." Finally I told myself that if we have a limited budget and that beginners, is better to take an amp like the Roland 100 euros micro-cube (a forcment will be a temporary solution). And with a bigger budget, invest in an amp worthy of the name + effects pedals. Ultimately, if beginners but we play right away in a group, this amp can be a solution INTERESTED.
