Spider Model 75 w. Amp modeling. For specifications see other reviews of this topic. My message is not focused on these issues.
I put these on August 1

UTILIZATION

cons questions I wish to express an opinion quite different from those I have just read. Indeed, several defects appeared to me over the months of use. The manual provided is very unclear and the one downloaded on the Internet does very little to the issues and difficulties. It is true that different amp tones and effects are convincing and often very beautiful (there's something for all tastes and styles). Ditto for the effects. Nevertheless I find the use complex. Indeed settings between the 3 buttons that directly conditionenet sound ie: drive, chanel master volume and ask for my taste a lot of trial and error and research to find its appropriate. Between the different amp models there are factory settings that vary much (volume of output) and it must constantly adjust (it's painful ... and random concert). well sometimes there are losses or power surges that I can not find the explanation.
In short I find complicated and I put a note very average 5

SOUNDS

I play a Start with Mexican and clean sounds are superb. it's a little harder with my other guitars a Epiphone Dot Studio.
I generally a bit more trouble with the sound settings saturated.
In our small group, I'm only rhythmic and efttes or amps are nice (when I get to settle ...!)
We play blues, pop, jazz, rock, funk.
Start with it very well.
I put 1 August

OVERALL OPINION

Difficult to note this amp overall.
A 6 or 7 ..?
Indeed it is very definitely a great amp that offers many possibilities of sounds, effects.
But personally I hate the technical issues and I spend too much time wondering how to adjust, why all of a sudden I have more power when I change the options etc etc.
The Service manual does not give clear answers.
It's a little headlock. Besides, I'm back to my Marshall .... At least I branch and I play!
As for the famous pre-recorded effects presets there are so many that it almost becomes a bit absurd! That too!
Complex still
