Totally How To Product Review of: Line 6 Spider IV 15

[chris2011378]

do you know how to turn off the echo? i t really annoys me when i play.

[fingerSk8te]

@chris2011378 I know how ;) You have to go on the clean channel, (of course) and then turn down on the tape echo, if you wont to keep that echo all the time, when you turn over to the clean channel, then hold the clean channel down, until all the channel blinks, and then its done :) i will maybe upload a video about it

[zsreich]

nice review kid! Way more professional than a lot I have seen.

[Esial459]

this video helped a lot but your playing was horrible.

[WoodyWV38]

Nice. Keep it up!

[TheSlipknot91]

first one was metallica-welcome home (sanitarium)

[Dragonforce2496]

what settings did u have for the insane channel

[Bfmvdude1]

Good review but should of saved a bit more for a 30 watt it's got more effects and channels and a much cleaner louder sound. I just got the 30 watt, it is amazing.

[unknwnZERO]

American idiot solo yeah!!

[unknwnZERO]

@tteezzrreell no me too. AWSOME

[tteezzrreell]

was i the only one who recognized u were playing american idiot

[vaibzzz123]

[space8beer]

[volcom8208]

1:25 AMERICAN IDIOT!!!!!!

[metallicaboy123]

WOOHOO METALLICA

[tabs2chord]

wat abt its tuner

? does this thing has one?

[SlipknotPaul1237]

damn you suck

[avatarcollides2day]

@SlipknotPaul1237 iok

[SuperGuitarbomb]

what was the first song you demenstrated?

[Tijntjuuh]

This amp or the Marshall mg15fx?

Plz help

[MegaSerious91]

@Tijntjuuh I think this amp is better than marshall amp. I have got marshall mg 10. But i tried this amp and i like this amp 's tone. Especially distortion is so good.

[RecreationalCarrot]

@Tijntjuuh neither, get a lower end fender, so much better. MGs break. A lot.

[DMNicora]

@Tijntjuuh marshall bro totoolllyy line six are good but have been known to crack up from my perspective 

[yoanfeyt]

oo my god your suuck

[APinhert]

lol i love how you didn't explain the channel saving features or the noise gate...which severely reduces tone...or how to change distortion normally or add the boos with the holding of a button plus the twist of the distortion... or even how to save presets

[iamdhump]

i just got this amp for free from a dude i know. how much is it worth?

[APinhert]

@iamdhump

when all the different spider 15 watts come out the are 100 bucks... but the rapidly degrade... i know i have a spider III i use for practice

[lukerocks202]

at fist i said he sucks..... then holy crap



[ThirteenPeeps]

sounds kinda really out of tune...

[joezetank]

Is this just me or are the volume levels on each preset insanely different? like ill switch from clean to metal and the volume will just be ridiculously loud?

[MrGuitarbike]

@joezetank Yea it is, but if it isn't just my amp, you can turn the drive volume up or down a little than back to where it was and i will be quieter. I think it like makes it full blast when you switch channels or turn it on.

[ironhagoo]

is this amp good for stuff like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin?

[joezetank]

@ironhagoo Yeah I own one, they were obviously made for rock/metal since the 3 presets are all rock orientated, (crunch, metal, insane)

There are also a lot of other effects you would see in hard rock, chorus, reverb, flanger, phaser etc.

[MrGuitarbike]

@ironhagoo Yes. Very. Crunch is great for AC/DC, you can even do it on metal if you have your guitar volume down and amp volume up. Great amp. Highly recomend it.

[shivamrocksable]

how much it cost??

[Thelonesniper101]

@shivamrocksable 100 bucks from amazon

[97AsV]

hey can you tell me a pedal for this? i have on amp la your and i wanna know that i can get a good pedal :)

[MrGuitarbike]

@97AsV The pedals for this are like 100 bucks.

[ChromeDome703]

Bro you are really good... your better than me and im 15! Do you have a band? You should start one. (:

[SabianDrummerDude]

@ChromeDome703 im a drummer haha, guitar is my second instrument

[TheDamageIncorporate]

lolled so hard when you played the super mario tune

[Henshrow]

1:28 YEEAAAA BOIIII! GREEN DAY!

[iannyrockwell]

should I get this or marshall mg15fx??

[foreverisalie713]

does it come with the necessary foot pedals to switch channels and use the tremelo?

[ieatcrete111]

kids kinda silly lookin, no offense but i clicked the video thinkin ohh boy here we go... then he started demonstrating channels and made me feel like a fool cuz the kid can play!

[TheXelavid]

hey man check out my line 6 spider III "metal" channel demo

[rush2795]

@TotallyHowTo i appreciate you going through all the effects and really everything this thing does, and i'm gonna buy one of these bad boys!

[BaggedGnome]

Good review, kid. Thanks. Will be buying one soon.

Also, can someone tell me what a "FBV pedal" is?

[MrSkyman457]

Welcome home sanitarium...great song.

[DarkdeviI725]

hahaha I liked the ending.

[pjdowner]

wow, i think this is the best review I've seen on youtube, thanks for demonstrating most if not all the features. It's been a real help

[sinisan14]

Whats better? marshall mg15 or line 6 spider iv 15?

[johnathangraybeal5]

metalica hell yeah ╭∩╮（︶︿︶）╭∩╮

[sinisan14]

hey! can anyone tell me what cable to use for the cd/mp3 hole to jam along?

[DMNicora]

@sinisan14 if im not misreading your questin your goin to need a input cable i prefer radioshack mettel ends

[ZachOrTheApocalypse]

@ThatMexicanKid101 yes it does.it also works with iPhone.

[DJMetalHead98]

@1rodrigonl welcome home(sanitarium) by Metallica and he fucked it up cuz he went too slow then fast

[DrNowhereman90]

DONT play a green day song on a metal settings

[moko9hoko]

@DrNowhereman90 and why not?

[rodrigo1nl]

what the name of the first song that he played ?

[criorella16]

Would you rather recommend the Line 6 Spider IV 15 or a Fender Sidekick Reverb 25 Amp??

[NeilChhabda]

Clean channel has clean tone. Genius

[megadeath1555]

this is the most awesomest guitar amp!! :P

[ThatMexicanKid101]

Does this work with Ipod touch please answer me!!

[Zevangelion23]

Metal without palm mute? you suck....

[Notjustforfreaks]

@Zevangelion23 You'd know, hailing from the noted metal hotbed of Columbia. The kid is demoing the amp, and he does a fine job of it, he's not trying to put on a James Hetfield clinic. YOU suck and by the way, where are your videos, Kerry King?

[Zevangelion23]

@Notjustforfreaks man,why do you say i suck? i don't upload videos because i don't have a camera. James Hetfield is not the only person that use palm mute....if you're gonna review or demo a amp and the distortion it's of metal,you need to use techniques of metal,the most commonly techinque of metal and the main difference between punk and metal it's the palm mute.This is demo is gay. Can be much better. He's not a kid,he's a guitar player,and only cuz is a kid you don't need to argue with that.

[PassiveFlow]

@Zevangelion23 He isn't demonstrating his skills in playing, he's demonstrating an amp. Stop crying over bullshit. You're posting in English and not using the correct grammar, you're an idiot. And don't come with the "not-my-native-language"-crap, it isn't my native language either.

@Tommy, nice review. Plain and simple, no bullshit. Goob job.

[bamschulze]

worst sound i ever heard and worst guitar player BETTER PRACTICE BEFORE PLAYING METALLICA SONGS!!!

[Notjustforfreaks]

@bamschulze Like that video of you and the other German creep fondling each other on the couch while playing a cheesy hippie sing along on an acoustic is so awe-inspiring. Nothing wrong with that, but don't write checks with your mouth that can't be cashed.

[sukkahiki666]

Is the build in tuner good?

[TyrannoHassleberry1]

Thanks...

[thatonekid30]

Metallica All the Way

[slyfox97]

@TheTylerGeissler I've had the amp for a couple of months now and it's a great practice amp. It's not horrible for band practice but it isn't ideal.

[gutarjunky]

you need to mess with the settings i have heard the same exact amp sound ay better

[Leon6669993]

What is the use of the master button?

[nergalk]

o m g I had this thing for 3 months and didn't know it had a built in tuner. Well, thanks for that info.

[TheLadylover15]

dude, you're awesome!!

[timohaha19]

ахах)) пиздюк малой)))

[MrImLex]

@timohaha19 У него с ритмом проблемы Оо

[WonderWeiss324]

Thank you for starting off by playing a Metallica song that doesnt suck, instant respect. And thanks for teaching me how to use the built in tuner. I still like the tuners on Raven amp's alot better, but thats just me.

[xXM3taLlicAXx1]

METALLICA!!!!!!!!

[kikeecw]

U can put a morley wah pedal on this amP?

[cam01235]

thanx for the review u r good player i will get my son one hope he ends up as good as u dad has got a spider valve haha they r awesome amps

[xxmasterchiefofahlo]

Can you turn off the effects on the clean channel?

[rrgert4]

will i need a pedal, or is the in bulit channels good enough ? (i like metal)

[TotallyHowTo]

@rrgert4 It's not bad, but think you would really enjoy the metal genre with a pedal as well.

[rrgert4]

@TotallyHowTo

so if you have the distortio on at the same time with the pedal how will that sound :DDD

[warriorsfanatic999]

@rrgert4 youll here nothing but the reverb effect. ive tried it. its very annoying

[rrgert4]

@warriorsfanatic999

yeah :D

[RecreationalCarrot]

@TotallyHowTo don't use pedals with modelling amps, they really don't like each other. The amp sounds too digital as it is...

[pirnia75]

thanks to u u are a talented person which makes a exelent vid but a 24 yr old guy makes rubbish vid.

[acefrehley813]

you should get the 75watt version of that amp or 50watt you'd get a better sound and more options for different sounds

[ajfratt]

Metallica F** YEAH

[NinjaKnightHawk]

Wow what a great video!! This amp looked really confuzing at first but now that you showed me how to use it I am no longer confuzed. I am going to buy this amp now! Thanks a lot! Rock On!

[hellohello4800]

You can turn off the effect after pressing the channels by turning the effects on and off.

[TheIncredibleSabba]

@ProHacker97 i got it, it was american idiot from green day. ;D

[TheIncredibleSabba]

what song do you play in the metal channel? i know it's green day, but which song?

[uofm97]

@TheIncredibleSabba It's the solo for "American Idiot".

[DiegoGlezAta]

My God, you need a guitar tuner and a metronome...

[slyfox97]

Would this amp be ok for band practice?

[TotallyHowTo]

@slyfox97 Yes but you may find you need more power, which in that case I would recommend the 30 watt amp perhaps. This amp is great for practising.

[earthboundJim]

@TotallyHowTo Thanks, I just bought one and I'm loving it :)

[TheTylerGeissler]

@slyfox97 I have the Spider III 15, and it's NOT good for band practice. I've played it with the channel and master volume all the way up, and (while sounding like crap), it could not overpower the sound of the drums. A 30 watt would do you good, but it'd still sound a little weird because you'd have to have the volume knobs up loud. I recommend the 75 watt, or get the half-stack.

[MrGuitarbike]

@slyfox97 This amp is great for band practise. I'm in a band, and my drummer whales on his drums, really after practice you can't hear proper. This amp is PLENTY loud, great sound even at high levels, half volume on your guitar and amp will be loud enough. Also, each channel is a little different in loudness.

[fabioalario]

Best rewiew on youtube... I'm Italian and thanx to you I understead to use the tuner... thanx brother you're the man... ciao ciao

[BroodLOrdz]

Dude, you are awesome!!! Insane button all the way \m/

[YoungNuk13]

would you recomend this amp for recording

[0guitargod]

Nice, How about the foot switch? Do a video on the foot switch.

[U07110743]

Nice review kid :)

[jimandankit]

is this amp compatible with zoom g1x!

i heard that it only works with fbv pedal!

pls. do tell!!!

otherwise a great review

[yuriynyr]

What amp should I get... this one or a Roland Cube 15x?

[AJ78910]

I hate it when I see little kids that are better than me at guitar.

[jimandankit]

will zoom g1x work with this!!!

i.e

is it compatible with it

[khushalbhadra]

After considering many 15 Watt amps I finally considered the new Marshall MG15FX. Its a killer amp and has that feel of an analogue sound.

[lanreezy23]

if i wanted to put alot of distortion manually, would i raise the treble?

[TotallyHowTo]

@lanreezy23 Hello yes, you would raise the treble and the drive if you want more distortion manually.

[staybrutal19]

@TotallyHowTo Distortion is not about treble mids or bass, its all about gain and drive, you could have treble boosted on a clean channel and it wouldnt sound distorted one bit

[SabianDrummerDude]

@staybrutal19 very true. but treble (the higher tones) give it more of an agressive sound

[juanmv93]

metallica rocks!!!

[Gillzilla13]

Thank you for the very great review [definitely makes me Want to buy the amp over the Roland 20x cube] and for not smacking your lips so loudly every to seconds like every other YouTube kid.

[theSICmaggot95]

IS it worth buying?!

[TotallyHowTo]

@theSICmaggot95 Well for me it has been. I use it almost every day.

[JonLeGanj]

@theSICmaggot95 get the 30watt, it has alot more effects than the 15

[daplayer]

I thought this was going to be some CHEESY, Kid review but i thought wrong.

I've used a Line 6 IV 15 before.

My only Issue is when you change something like the Drive, Treble or Bass for examples the Amp turns off, it's till ON but the sound cuts off forcing you to turn it off and on repeatedly, which is annoying if you trying to get the Acoustic-ish or a very Meaty Bass sound from your amp. apart from that it's wonderful amp by Line 6. recommend it for anyone but mainly if you don't have money.

[ProHacker97]

what song you play in metal channel?

[Pamahana97]

i am trying to upgrade from my fender sp.10 starter amp into somthing that can get me a grunge- heavy metal sound on a buget of $110, would anyone suggest this amp or a diffrent one and give me a site that i could look up some reviews, cause u can't always trust youtube comments lol XD

[AboutCrawler]

@Pamahana97 Actually this amp is your best bet by far. As far as reviews my suggestion to you would be to google it. There should be many reliable sources to choose from.

[UnnTouchable1993]

@Pamahana97 you should check out the peavey vypyr 15. its $99

[Tetarkall]

@UnnTouchable1993 I checked out one of those and the amp came loose, I was like, oh hell no!!

[SuperMetalmad]

hey what settings did you use for the greenday cover plzzz

[Avery752]

yeah guys when you are on the clean channel and hear an echo turn the second effect knob up then all the way down

[BmanRocks1996]

I have this and it amazing it has really good sound and the insane setting is amazing!!!!

[HannaLoveHorses]

American Idiot and MCR tee! Awesome! This video helped me a lot, btw ^^

Thanks! :D

[kingphaze1]

lol i have that exact same amp and when i put it on clean i was pissed that it had echo, i thought it would go away over time but if u put it on reverb all the way turned up, it stops echoing :D

[PrettyGlamRock]

I've spent a lot of time on the insane channel - it's awesome LOL

[emoboi311]

3:16 hahaha he was playing usher

[TotallyHowTo]

@emoboi311 Haha yes we enjoy that beat from a favourite youtube beatbox clip on youtube we like.

[DrSifilis]

You should've used as an example of the tremollo Boulevard of Broken Dreams

[TheManAndTheMetal]

don't buy this amp, i have had it for 2 years and it only seems to be good for metal and nothing inbetween. if youre into metal then this is good amp for you , but otherwise i'd get a vox valavetronix. nice review though

[RequiemSoup]

The built in tuner is pretty helpful. I'm just bummed that it isn't a full on tuner :/

But, damn I bought this amp today and its sexy :D

[EXTREMEproductions1]

nice review but u say to much obvious shit lol

[ManiacSerialKilleR]

@EXTREMEproductions1 on the clean channel you hear clean tones..on the metal channel there is metal distortion lol

[AJD7DC]

wow, you really inspired me to buy this amp today >.<

[whitegangster25]

@jake santitarium but very poorly

[justicecc25]

how is the gain is there a high gain setting like the peavy vypyr has the 6505 setting thts got massive gain does this one have good gain

[jakeandjustus97]

I have a question for any one who can answer. What was the first song he played in clean tone?

[dragonman86]

wow a kid taught a 25 year old how to use his built in tuner today, thanks man!

[TotallyHowTo]

@dragonman86 Haha thanks I am his older brother and he surprises me somedays too!!

[RicardCastro]

good job!

[carpbass21]

hey whats the setup for crazy train

[blacksunshine3452]

ok for one. i have played around with the line 6 spinder Iv amp myself and you CAN take of the echo effects on the clean tone. It doesnt force you to have them when you turn it on you need to turn the phaser knob all the way forward then back quickly to completely take off the echos

[iiTzK1N61K1LL3r]

awsome mario tune lulz

[TearsAndBlood2]

Do you think if i connected the Line 6 POD to the amp it woulds ound alright?

because i use the Roland Cube atm, and it really buggers up the output sound >.<

[InfernalXpression]

@uglyduckling393 Metal and Insane will give you the best punk sound in my opinion

[majosensei19]

sanitarium ?????? slow down a little bit

[TotallyHowTo]

@majosensei19 the purpose of using the song "Sanitarium" was not to be shown as if being covered. but to demonstrate the effects on the amp.

[TomyTrackmastertrain]

i had this amp but i fucking died on me

[assortedfish]

does it come with a pedal so i can switch from Metal to Insane or whatever? if not, where can i get one?

[cacon56]

@assortedfish where ever music items are sold, u know guitars amp's exetera....... u can get the "line six FBV2" pedal which has two buttons.. only for switching back and forth between settings.

[TheKirkHammett1]

you should probably buy a tuner but you are not "insane"ly bad at playing
