UTILIZATION

It is very simple to get the "canon" After a few seconds rglages! Simply select the type of amp, the rate of gain, a little EQ and master volume. Then, each free to expand with the reverb, the time limit, or with some effects on offer for fun. A slecteur flanked by an LCD display allows sounds accder 36 stocks in a bank, and mmorisables modifiable by the user. The sounds are stored in groups of 4 (9 banks) can be called directly via the four buttons "Channels" in faade. There is also a bank of 300 presets provided by line 6, which we can extract sound mmoriser for the user and the bank change its convenience. on the other hand, it is unacceptable not to have the combo of a quip from noon, forcing buy pdalier &#39;Owner&#39; "Line 6. The manual of the amp is very well done, it takes 15 minutes to understand everything and without it!

SOUNDS

I play Ibanez JS100 changes, Fender Strato US Standart, Gibson L6, Ibanez AS93 (Kit Seymour 59 &#39;) and 103, an Epiphone LP. Plutt nice guitars that allow me any style without ruin me. My directory will police the RedHot through Acdc, The Stones, U2 etc ... and some things Metal (Metallica, Dreamtheater) but also the whole pop Franaise and English. In any case, I find the sound with my spidervalve adquate. SPECIFICATIONS for things or sharp trs, I add one or two things and you&#39;re jou (TO800 or SD1 Boss Compressor and CS3). Admittedly, this is not all that comparable to big names of the amplification thousands of dollars, but frankly sends a trssvre concert.Il ago in which 40 w REALLY bastonnent transistors and bury the combos up 120W. The Celestion Vintage 30 frquence the same cash in the grave without flinching. It snaps, it&#39;s dynamic. It feels good lamps puissance.Plus nothing to do with the spider transistors and much better than the combo lamps "entry level" type Peavey ValveKing, Windsor or Classic30 (excellent clean sound!) That can compete in terms of versatility. If you possdez guitars suitable (essential) all directories are open to you! The zozo&#39;s because it does not get the sound of Zakk Wylde with a Start with this amp is the one who part ... a Vigier Excalibur esprant sounds in "roots" has it all wrong! All the pros who know the Features and privilgier associations in the field of gear ... find happiness within the limits of compromise imposed by the concept, I recall that the features of real amps with 6 CHARACTERISTICS REALLY Different. With its core trs honnte who asks that be because your hand. In fact, the clean sounds are finally worthy of their REFERENCE (this n&#39;tait not specially Line6), the crunch is pais wish without drooling, saturations really "lights". The only concern the formulation Reserved "insane" is really "to much" and full of bees ... Effects on both dcris: the weak point is that it does not offer many of paramtres rglage, only the dosage with the direct signal is available. However, for dlais, the tap tempo is Submitted and allows to exploit the effect of Manir trs convincing all that the sound is beautiful rsultant. The phaser is good too trs (room 70 &#39;warranty). BMOL for chorus / flanger remains anecdotal so it is unusable and ditto for the tremolo which is coupled to frquence volume effect (moyen!). For my part I would have swapped tremolo, chorus and flanger against a small compressor-limiter mat and much more useful when 40w titillates the madness of such an amplifier. Reserved These remind us that we are facing a vritable combo amp, not a Pod or other multi-effects and paramtres full of possibilities. Free you to connect your pdalier or simulator ftiche between the "direct amp in" or your best effects in the loop or faade, like you do with your amp without criticizing anything traditional it is. The effects of providing SpiderValve to bring his rig complete each rptition, in that they make good service while respecting the characters of guitar related. Dj is not so mal.Pour concert is Amneris his favorite pedals (those that possdait before a Spidervalve ...) that offer more rglages .

OVERALL OPINION

Critics say: "the effects are not great, there&#39;s no sound like Marshall, like guitar etc. ..." Well, you&#39;ve seen a dj with his Marshall Mesa?? A Marshall with his Fender?? A Vox sound with Peavey?? You use your beautiful prfrez rverbe over the boards, nothing prevents you on this amp ... Have you seen a dj amp lamps with as diverse a range of sounds so versatile 630? Do not you know that The Edge plays Marshall and / or Fender but its great sound from a rack of effects that you will not even rve (where trnent Line6PodPro 2. ..)? Ditto for Satriani, Vai and consort. That fine-arrtent their mouths snobbery! Breaking the Line 6 does for fun and serves no real rvle troitesse of mind (we are given the illusion of being part of the lite) or of intellectual masturbation. Do you think this bote can afford a failure in association Bogner monumental as some suggrent? Wait a year to declare it will sell this amp so-called foul does not make sense! Nothing that the test in a few minutes of grips you need to know if the investment is appropriate ... or you&#39;re a dad son capricious ... not a seasoned musicos! Each amplifier has its default and not spidervalve n&#39;chappe RULES, but given a score close to 0 for the sound is truly false. I play it every day and REALLY rgulirement front of an audience and do reois as dressing rooms for my sound. Others say that in some rooms there are too low and not enough this or that. The guy&#39;s rponse srieux: put a sm57 in front of the bowl, into the sound system and correct the EQ on the console or use pedals for even basic EQ! When the room is rotten, that&#39;s what the pros, even with the MesaBoogie! . You see a guy always finds a solution srieux face poor acoustics of room! I play for more than two DCEN (the real stuff I possd rotten), my group is only the resumption pop / rock / hard, so a directory trs varied but demanding. I always took the head for my choice of hardware that any fawn n&#39;tait a vague compromise between what I wanted (the sound of the greatest) and that allowed me my finances . L is the very first time I am filled with an amp without experiencing major frustration. There are quite a few default: volume pRSET factory surprising and sometimes dangerous, no MIDI, no rducteur power (attention in an apartment!) But frankly, r some APRS tings, then a few live performances, I DEFINITIONS adopted this amp! I leave the mix without problem, the sound is pro choice and trs current or vintage but never rotted. I crdible when I go to the Stones or Metallica Dire Straits! Try to do the same exercise with a Triple Rectifier or a JCM800 without adding tons of effects! When we criticize a product, it must be connatre, and especially the place in its segment of users. In this case, I think I can say that the "rockers", the musicians of ball of variation on the cover-bands and mtalleux not too extreme can be satisfied with this amp seriousness, powerful and versatile. Those spcialiss trs (trash, hardcore blues, etc ...) will find better elsewhere for their respective fields but it will pay the price and often sacrifice versatility. And the price is a SpiderValve bndiction to enter the world of lights .... I got mine for 630 ngoc in stores (it even cheaper on the net ). Remember that for that price it&#39;s a good ten amps you have your feet with this spidervalve. I would do without this choice hsiter.
PS: on 03/06/2010 I&#39;ve just ProCD replacement of the original power tubes (5881Sovtek) by Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-5881-C with a rating of 5. standard surprise! The overall sound of the amp is mounted several notches in quality. Saturation natural heat lamps has become more smooth. The stiffness of the sounds "insane" is contained, the "bees" almost absent. The color rendering is a Vintage says. This is the cake and butter! Crunches jous fingers are fabulous, you can work the rope Manir subtle or wild rponse with thunder.
This transformation is not trivial in terms of budget (150 euros montes and heels) but worth a try as it mtamorphose this amp dj satisfactory in its original juice. Of course, investment will remain anecdotal if the amp is never pushed rptition or in concert, not a lamp giving his best characters if it is "tickle". I still wonder why some have 40Watts lamps to work their lines in an apartment while 5 watts are enough to get the sound that kills?!?
