u would rather buy solid amp and try to buy all those pedals u need for different effects...professionals won;'t use this kinda of amp...especially for live performances!!!....
@FischKopfD Most definitely the Vypyr 15. This video is not an accurate description of the Spider's sounds. They probably have it hooked up to a nice overdrive pedal to get the metal tones.
@Zarby1234 yeah but for metal which I play. It is the best. Channel C and D are inspired by Mesa Boogie which Mark and Willie of LoG use. Favorite band.
So I'm trying to decide between a 15W Line6 Spider IV and a 15W Roland Cube 15XL. Purely as a bedroom-jam-only practice amp. Not fussed about extreme metal tones but I'm still after good crunchy distortion for the likes of Asking Alexandria / Alesana / Sleeping With Sirens / All Time Low. Care to offer opinions, guys?
@Aephylis i liked my spider(my ac15vr is better, but yeah) I almost always used the crunch channel or clean... the metal tended to sound pretty nice but a bit artificial compared to true distortion....... idk, cube counds cooler
@rayjaycleoful you mean that for saving the settings i want i have to press the channel button after putting the effects and volume i want?i think i got that thank you VEEEERRYY MUCH for helping me i was facing problems here :)
Hey man. Great video. Im just about to get one of these, but i have been told that they seem to have a reputation of breaking, and not being able to be fixed. Obviously i want to buy something that isnt going to break, or if it does, i can fix it. Have you had any problems with it, or known of any cases like that? Cheers.
i have a question...if i put this amp to clean and i have a Washburn Wm-10....it will play metal.....i ask because i want to buy a Washburn and this amp
Excellent, very concise review of the description always nice to hear a Hendrix classic being demo'ed. Musicroom weren't willing to negotiate on a price, or offer any extras with the amp, however I bought this as a practise amp just to experiement alittle from Fox UK music, for a very reasonable price indeed!
There's a Tuner but it doesn't show you the note letter, just uses the 4 bank lights to show sharp or flat, you have to light up the two middle bank lights to be on-note. It works pretty well.
So im a beginner and looking for a 15 watt amp just to play at home, so here is the question, should i get Line 6 Spider IV 15 or Marshall MG15 which one is best? for more metal sounds.
I play a lot of different stuff like Megadeth, Gamma ray, Hammerfall, etc so many subgenres of especially metal. would anyone recommend this AMP for me?
good amp for a starnard level musician? im thinking about buying it but my limit is 100$ is there any better amps i could get for the same.. please comment back and ill will sub you:D ahah
i have the same amp!!! but i gotta problem!!!! everytime i turn my amp on and play a clean chord or something it echos and the echo knob if on off and then i turned the echo on then off and then the echo stopped??? if i move from crunch,metal, or insane then back to clean it echos after i play something!! wut do i do???? and ur a really good guitar player!! ^.^
@jenluvheart I had the same problem, all you have to do is turn the knob to the left of the master volume all the way to the right until the TAP button isnt blinking but is at a solid orange like the CLEAN button then turn it all the way back to the left. hope it helps
@xSuddenDETHx thanks but i have to do it everytime i turn off the amp?? and the song im playin for my band needs a pedal to change from clean to crunch
@jenluvheart yea i guess so, but honestly i dont really like the clean sound on this kind of amp. i read that you can save settings to hopefully make the blinking light stop whenever you turn it back on after you turn it off, but im not sure how to do that. so for the pedal problem all i can say is that you gotta just deal with the slight echo.
i feel proud........when you put the crunge sound on, i was thinking in my head, "this would be a good sound for Whole Lotta Love" and then like 5 seconds later, you go and play it.
@rhcpkzi thats because channel volume can be saved, so when you change channel it uses the volume saved to that channel, you have to balance the volume of all four channels using channel volume, master volume however changes all channel volumes
@rhcpkzi that's because it automatically resets all the settings when you change the channel. To save a setting so it won't reset when you go back to it, hold down the channel button until the light flashes, then it's saved forever until you reset or overwrite it:)
@rhcpkzi i know know. but what i do to get around that is i just put the channel vol. all the way up, then move the master vol. up or down. its a bit more touchy that way but you wont have to deal w/ that problem.
Ok, So I just bought this amp as a Factory restock for just $50 from Guitar center.com. My first question being, What does Factory restock mean, And Does this Amp have any Delay? if it does, Does it have like a cool name?Is it Delay, but it has a Different Name? B/c I'm trying to Play the Solo from "Like a Stone" by Auidoslave and I need Delay, Also, Can it make my Pitch go up by 2? Thanks for an Answer.
@axxo798 yes sir :) The more watts you have, the more volume you can have without worry of busting your tube or blowing your amp up.
Preferably for live you're probably going to want a spider IV 150W with the HD cab :) gonna be about $700.00 but the results are absolutely astonishing :D
Thanks for your comments! As you go up in wattage through the Spider range, you get more effects, and more amp models. Also as the larger amplifiers have a wider front panel, you get a few more controls that allow you to adjust the effects a little more. The basic 'guts' behind them are the same, and if you're plugging the amp into a PA or recording device you'll not hear any difference in quality.
As you increase wattage and speaker size you do get an improvement in the sound quality, not just in terms of volume capabilities; when at a lower volume you'll notice a bigger, warmer sound. It's like a high-powered car engine at low speed - it'll do better than a low-power car near the limits of it's capabilities.
Just got this amp, and right off the bat, it is LOUD! You can create 4 custom presets or use the factory presets. Built in tuner, 6 effects, 3 distortion and 1 clean channel. Two kool settings are; Insane with lots of Chorus and Tape Echo. This gives you a massive amount of distortion and delay, can make some screaming pinch harmonics that sound like nothing I have ever heard! Next is Metal with low Phaser and Tape Echo. Gives you a thick Phase effect, way kool! Enjoy, the amp is amazing!
@Conorrrr1977 You gotta change the factory settings. Next time you're using it, switch to clean, turn the echo all the way right and then all the way left. Do the same with the other effect knob, then hold down the "Clean" button until it flashes. The presets are now set to not echo, but go ahead and switch channels and switch back to be sure it worked.
u would rather buy solid amp and try to buy all those pedals u need for different effects...professionals won;'t use this kinda of amp...especially for live performances!!!....
