i bought my line 6 spider II 15w from city music for $220 last week, enjoying it everyday now! the clean is really lousy compared to vox or marshall. but i bot it for the metal and insane channel...i play my clean tunes on the crunch channel. the other effects like sweep echo, tape echo, reverb, phaser, chorus flange and tremolo are the plus points for this amp. its bloody loud for 15w and an 8 inch speaker...have to play it at volume 2...earlier on i almost bought the same amp second hand for 190 but some other guy viewed it before me so he got it...but hey for $30 more i didnt mind buying the new one. im pretty sure the spider II is lighter than the cube 15.
