Line 6 Spider III Amp

A few days back I borrowed a Spider II 15 from a friend, I was impressed with it, and since I had to borrow an amp you must get the idea that I needed a new small practice amp... While many adequate little amps ( 10-25 watts ) exist they generally tend to be little sounding and shy on features, or the effects are substandard and don't sound like top of the range stomp boxes at all .... The Spider II proved to be an exception to this notion, I knew within an hour that Line six would probably be the maker of whatever amp I ended up buying...This was my first hands on with a Line 6 product, by the way....

So I began to search for a baby spider of my very own ... I found a great amount on a Spider III 15 at Guitar Center and rushed to the town to snag me one of my very own ... I purchased the very last one at the store, they sell terribly quickly I was told by the salesperson ... Lucky me !!

Cosmetically the spider III looks almost exactly like the II, the features are the same, but the III has been noticeably modified to the consumers benefit .. The effects sound a bit better and the mids are distribute better, and they were already extremely great on the Spider II!

Its loud for a 15 watter ... Sounds clean for a small amp even at rather high volume, terribly solidly built for any amp but very so for only one hundred greenbacks, the effects sound right, like top quality stomp boxes rather than cheesy amp based effects .. Like I found on my old Crate fifteen watter, for example, The custom made 8'' spokesman handles the sound very well this is simply a best of its class unit in all facets of its being!

One complaint about the Spider III 15 is regarding what some people consider tricking claims on the packaging description about the artist presets. True the settings are tough to find at the Line6 internet site but with a little looking there are one or two pdf documents demonstrating a bunch of artist settings for a number of songs.... And the nobs are great fun to mess around with anyway, extremely reactive as well!

At the end I couldn't endorse this product highly enough, and I like to recommend this amp to anybody needing a quality small amp at a particularly reasonable price ... Its the best of its kind I've ever used, and I've used, borrowed or owned a handful of small amps over the last thirty or so years..

My next enormous amp will likely be a Line 6 product as well .. They actually seem to have an ability for rethinking design and technology and use these innovations across the entirety of their product lines, plus on the low end they have got a good sense of which bells and whistles to leave out and which to incorporate for the very best quality sound, highest level of functionality and largest bang for your buck!!
