Line 6 Spider II HD150

This amp is not a keeper amp at all. This thing is a basic sounding solid state amp modeler that doesn't sound anything like the amp modelers it claims to emulate. The tone is extremely thin and metallic sounding.

You get 12 amp models and none of them really are capable of sounding like the tube amps that are very famous and enough so that Line 6 would attempt to model. Not that it is Line 6's fault but the idea of amp modelers is really a humorous joke. The idea that they can emulate digitally a tube amp without tubes is just an enormously huge mistake. Nothing can emulate a real tube sound and feel.

SOUNDS


I guess the most authentic sound are the effects. The effects do sound convincingly enough to go ahead make this purchase only for the practice aspect of it. If you are looking for a practice amp that is an all encompassing everything unit then this isn't a bad unit. You would never go on stage with this thing though. This is not a gigging amp. The sound man will laugh you right off the stage and may even ask you to take this amp off the stage and mic up one of the house amps.

This is why I am a bit confused of the reason for 150 watts of power when you will never need to turn this thing up this loud. Well, this amp is not a bad practice amp and with a good guitar it will get you jamming comfortably at home.

OVERALL OPINION


I don't believe that these amps are even offered anymore. I think these have been discontinued to another more modern model. If you find one on the classifieds I can't imagine it being more than $400.

I would recommend this amp to only someone who needs a simple practice amp doesn't want to spend too much money. They are pretty reliable and that is a plus.

Amplification modlisation a power of 150 watts mono and stereo 2x75.
Ultra simple connectivity: between guitar, footswitch between exit phones / line out and all the knobs: amp / drive / bass / med / treble / volume volume/efets1/effets2/reverb/master channel.
basic effects: chorus-flanger/phaser/tremolo and delay / tape echo / sweep echo.

UTILIZATION

Setup is super simple, no need to tank 6 to ring the bte. rglages the relatively prcis, and as an amp modlisation ASEZ quickly found the sound you want.
the manual as it is without superflux, effective.

SOUNDS

The Spider II 12 amp modlise (fender, marshall, vox, mesa ...) so we tap into all areas just by turning the "amp". uses the guitar is an ibanez rgt42 DiMarzio PAF Pro with and tonezone.
my sounds are prfrs: twang (Fender tweed deluxe and twin reverb'65), crunch (marshall plexi) and metal (mesa).
clean sounds are falling and the marshall crunch is trs Fidler. when the noise gate enabled completed Feedback, breath and grsillements.
I do not like red modlisation insane, it's a really psychdlique tar, super strong and suggests a discomfort for assistance if you play in the bass, has slammed the neurons . complterait this sound wonderfully with Fieldy's bass (which is a guitar without the vomiting is so morbid).
Obviously the rest of a transistor, and the drive is rglage Modre because once the trend max aa drooling (especially on the low E). Or if you have a multi-purpose one SETTING THE presence can balance the final sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 hours. I like his versatility and power that DGIG, and I told him again not find default.
qualitprix the report is out: 750 euros per half-stack limit is simply a scam there, but no. of course it's not an amp lamps, but it provides a good transition (modlisation)
I referrer hsiter seen this choice without the budget. between marshall (avt 150h and mg100hdfx) and h & k (vortex warp7) and line6 spider for a half stack I reselect hsiter without any second!
