Line 6 amps

[seanydon]

Hey guys, I need some opinion on the Line 6 Spider II 15w amp. Does it really sound artificial since it is digital? Also, in contrast with the Mashall MG15CD, Ibanez ValBee and Fender Frontman 15G. Thanks

 

[ShredCow]

Within those choices, if I had versatility in mind, I'll take the Line6.

Out of those choices, with the budget you have for those amps, I'll take a Cube30.

dont be tricked too much with stuffs people always say like OH ITS TOO DIGITAL

go and try it out and judge it yourself and compared with other models

some hate that amp

soem like it

its up to you to go down and try out

 

[studiostff]

i'll second shredcow's recommendation! cube 30. trust your ears. go play them and hear what it sounds like.

To answer this question, for the Spider II 15watter, yes. Very fake.

But who knows, you might like it! :wink:

Seriously!

hmmm im not trying to throw any wet blanket over digital amps versus any other amps... But i heard from a fren using line 6 amps, that when the power supplies drops, u can tell the difference in terms of the output.

U may want to check this out... N u may wanna bring ur pedals there to test if the amp reacts well to watever ur using...

Trust ur ears n taste

i own a spider.
The cleans are pretty good but the distortion channels really dont cut it. Very bland tones on crunch and metal settings. IMO, a very poor attempt at trying to recreate the '68 marshall plexi and mesa dualrectifier.
I personally find it pretty hard to dial in to get a decent tone.
Dont even bother about the 2 INSANE channels. you just get a shit load of fuzz noise. :x

Go for the cube30.

 

[ciel21]

just grab a pathfinder, best decent sound for that kinda price. Dun even tink of the frontman, it sounds worse than the marshall15 is thats even possible....

 

[turtlemuscle]

i'll go for the pathfinder 15 also. personally preference.

next would be cube

next would be line 6.

but you are not me. so do try it please.

Hi Sean, I use a Line6 Spider 112 50W (Version 1). That thing is loud. While some will have their reservations about it being 'too digital', I beg to differ and will go on to say that the tube simulation is really quite amazing if you learn to control it well.

Bang for buck too considering the kind of onboard effects.

At the end of the day...I suppose it how it sounds to your ears....a man's meat is another's poison, so they say?

 

[ShredCow]

hey killinghall... your amp is the big brother of the Spider II 15watter. It does sound better.

 

[killinghall]

That sounds comforting. LOL. I've yet to try v2.

 

[ciel21]

the distortion still sounds off to me.

i reccoomend the behringer gm110 combo over at luther.. its SGD250 if im not wrong.. its basically a tech 21 trademark copy.. but it does give some gd sounds TO ME.. u should go try them out...

 

[ciel21]

anyway we're talking practice amp here. None of the practice amps sound particularly good anyway.

 

[mellapong]

i would say the vox pathfinder and cube over the line6 and the marshall.

but i prefer the vox

if willing to top up an additional 100, get the ibanez valbee. Sure won't regret. Full tube amp, Can get loud. Sounds sterile when played soft, crank up the vol and feel the tone. Bottom end is present too. Amazing for a 5w amp and a small speaker.
