I just got one of these and I’ve found the best way to get rid of that “digital fizz” is to put the treble down to nothing, and crank the presence. Use those power valves to give you the high end instead of the digital preamp! Edit: Just got up to the bit where you touched on that haha.

A kid with a $350 budget? How about a grown man with a wife and kids and a $350 budget? These come up on reverb from time to time, and being a budget man, Line 6 is really not that bad. Purists can say what they want, but priorities are different for everyone. For a local metal band with a bunch of guys with families, I think I might pull the trigger. Solid review dude.

@outbakjak 2 года назад

Look into a Vox Night Train, $400, killer all tube sound. I used to own the spider valve, it sounds GREAT to me but only if the wattage knob on the back is turned up high. The biggest downside is that these things break. Literally the first two I ordered fresh from the factory defective, and they break too frequently for me to feel comfortable buying a used one for the price they're selling for

@majesticpbjcat7707 2 года назад

I used this used amp for about 8 years up until last year. A lot of those years I played almost every weekend live and went on a few tours as well. I got compliments all the time about how good my tone was considering I was using a Line 6 amp. That amp served me well for all that years and never once had an issue with it. I'm all Helix now though. Highly recommend that amp though if you need something decent on a budget.

I ALWAYS wanted one of these but couldn't afford it when it came out. I was in love with the POD and when I played one at GC it was like having a tube powered POD. As recently as two years ago and many amps later I had all but forgotten about this head. I tried to order a used one from GC and they ended up calling me and cancelling my order because they couldn't get it to work. 🤣 I since learned that these things were plagued with issues.

@mrbullseye 2 года назад

I have this 40w 212. It's a quite good sounding amp and really versatile. Like you noticed, a little bit finicky when it comes to master/patch volume settings. The orange metal is a dual rectifier and with a high presence, lower treble it sounds better. Also the blue metal has a "special" mid control which changes the type of distortion. from the manual: "Blue LED: - This sound was created to be an aggressive high gain Amp Model with a unique Mid control that will sweep though an entire spectrum of tone on one knob. The Mid knob for this Amp Model changes the character of the distortion. When set to minimum, the distortion exhibits Fuzz pedal characteristics. When the Mid is set to noon, it mimics the creamy modern high gain amp tones. And when the Mid knob is turned up to max, it’s very much reminiscent of that Class A sound." I have the FBV express mark 2 foot switch for it, which has both volume and wah, so it's really quite a full package. I do kind dislike that the other foot board, the FBV shortboard enables the built in boost and noise gate that you can access easily only with that board. It's almost as if they pay walled features behind different tiers of foot switches which I dislike. The noise gate and boost are otherwise kind of hidden behind buttons and levers. (Hold tap and increase drive past 12 to enable boost and reverb past 12 to enable noise gate). I love the orange blues amp with a single coil neck pickup and built in tape delay, sounds really sweet and bluesy, and for metal, I use the orange metal channel which is the Mesa dual rectifier model, like I said, with lower treble and always presence at top. Peace!

@jriff79guitar 2 года назад

I picked one up on a trade a few months back. Not a bad amplifier, it does take some dialing in but you can get some decent tones out of it. It's slightly lacking in the low end, but you can turn on the boost in the settings and it helps a little bit. Plus you activate the onboard EQ to help out with that. Also make all the effects post instead of pre, it takes the harshness out.

I have the Spider Valve MKII. I use the onboard stuff to tone down the fizziness of the high end. I use the amp model that is based on the Diezel Herbert with the tube screamer model in the amp. Use the built in gate/noise reduction too. The presence on this is your friend and can be your enemy all at once I usually don’t go past like 2 o’clock with it. Lol

@moparbryan 2 года назад

I think the opening riffing sounded really good! I’m so glad people like yourself are exposing tone snobs. Let’s be real most people are just jamming in their house and are never gonna tour the world. This amp gets great sound for that and you could play in a garage band with it. If it sounds good it sounds good doesn’t matter what the name on the front is.

Line 6 spiders are one of those things that sound good for what they are, but will constantly end up in the hands of beginners who don’t know how to use them.

@DeeplySceptical 7 месяцев назад

Picked one up a couple days back. Didn't expect much but after some squirts of contact cleaner to free up the pots it's positively surprised me. You might find the buzz in the high gain reduces using different speakers. V30's are somewhat scooped, and the amp is by nature scooped. The Line6 Celestion G12H-90 works well for me, with plenty of thump down low and measured mids and highs. But yes, this is the cheapest 100W tube head (with Bogner power section) on the used market.

I bought one of these after watching this video. Not disappointed. I wanted to get into effects just for fun without breaking the bank. Best part of this amp is that it turns down to quiet bedroom levels even with a 4x12 without loosing its tone. My 5150 sounds like mud turned super low.

@playdelay 2 года назад

I bought my Spider Valve mark 1 2x12 new about 15 years ago... I love it, I blend it's crunch tone with a boosted Roadster 2x12, eq'ing the Spider for more treble/mids with delays and using the strengths of the other amp to cover the bottom end/tube distortion. Pots are almost always scratchy on these models but they are great amps especially when you buy the shortboard controller.

What’s funny is people would tell me uh dude you should try a Marshall or a Mesa or whatever was there amp of choice so one day I took off the line 6 logo and glued on a Marshall logo from an old cab and everyone would say….cool you got a new amp! See dude I told you …that sounds soooo much better!…….doooough! FYI…I too love a Mesa Boogie Mark11C+ Mark 4 ,Mark 5 , Recto’s and Marshall’s Silver Jubilee! Just sayin! Lol. On my vetta set up I combine an Engle and a Silver jubilee throw in some stereo delay and hall reverb and several other effects, loopers and beat buddy in a combination of through the front and through the fx loop all in stereo running through a Celestion loaded 2x12 and 2 single 1x12 celestion loaded cabs for that big stereo in the room sound! And I send out of my looper a stereo signal to the board! Really big finished sound!

@TheMrzekerz Год назад

I've used this amp for 12 years actually because the amp was complete with built in effects. So when on tour it was just plug and play.. however, after some time working with different guitars the drawbacks of the amp became evident as the sound became more and more annoying. Some context here... one has to develop a sound recognition throughout the years as a rock guitarist. At greater volume the amp doesn't seem to hold up very much and you can hear that the sounds are 'created' so to speak. As I progressed further in playing different styles this amp didn't do the job good enough anymore. At this point I have a Marshall JVM410H which sounds way different and better at all modes.. more strength, body, punch, attack, sustain .. and so on. But hey, this Line6 sure looks awesome and is reasonably priced. So for the home rock/metal guitarist, this is a great amp to rock your way!

@mikejelinek1413 Год назад

I used this amp on a record and got a lot of great reviews on the guitar tone. Kyle, you have to spend days getting the best tone out of it. What I did to help the tone was put Groove Tubes in the amp unbelievable difference and way cleaner in the overall tones. I used the Hanger 18 preset as my base tone and built my tone off of that. These amps are great if you have the time to work on the tone. I don't know if you knew this but Andy Laroche from King Diamond used this exact amp on tour for several years because it had everything he needed in an amp, he also used the extended footswitch that Line 6 offers.

@stefanwerner5799 2 года назад

Funny how many people recommend channel volume low, master volume high. That’s how you don’t get tube distortion. There are two 12AX7 gain stages between channel and master volume. Turning up channel volume will drive them harder. Underrated amp, you can find here for less than €200 on the used market.

@arthurreid6108 2 года назад

They're not really gain stages, one is an input buffer similar to the single tube in something like a Marshall Valvestate, and the other is a phase inverter between the preamp and power amp. The distortion is all digital, unless you crank it up and get power tube breakup, but that's not really desirable for most heavy styles.

@stefanwerner5799 2 года назад

@@arthurreid6108 Both triodes have 200k plate resistors and 2k cathode resistors. First one with a bypassed cathode resistor calculates to a gain of 76x, second without a bypass capacitor has a gain of 43x. How much distortion you get from them, that you can debate, but they are most certainly gain stages.

I love your reviews, dude. You're actually honest, pointing out positive and negatives, not just using honesty as an excuse to shit all over things you don't like. That, and you like very similar tones to the ones I like, so it's actually pretty useful for me to see how you react to certain things. Any chance we could see you rip through a Randall Diavlo RD100? I know you did the 45 watt but the 100 has that blue channel that's more up our alley than the red channel on the rest of the line (more sizzle on the high end, more mid forward, and more gain in general). I run one as my main amp and I'd be very interested to see how you dial it in.

@cbsaulren 2 года назад

Yeah 18 year old me was enamored by this amp to no end but 38 year old me thinks it's just garbage modeling pushed through some tubes. I can only imagine the hell trying to EQ the fuzz out of the high gain settings.

I had this head back in the day with the cab was matched, which had similar results as the Mesa has. Good cab, but the high gain sounds where to buzzy for me. I ended up selling the head and keeping the cab.

That first tone was really really good.

@voodootattoo9057 Год назад

I think some has to do with having stock tubes or not. I run all JJ's in mine and though it's not my number 1 amp, I have it dialed to where I could do just about any gig ranging from oldies to nu-metal and lots in between. For me I have the opposite experience from Kyle. I find the in-between tones it's weak point and where it shines is ultra clean and high gains. Typically if I use it for a rock gig I use the clean channel with a Sparkle Drive and Timmy stacked. My absolute favorite way to use it though is Helix direct to power amp in/return. It is the best way I have found to power my Helix and I have tried a lot of different ways including Powercab+ and some high end FRFR's.

I have the MKII 2x12 Combo w/ V30’s & honestly it’s a great amp! It’s not the best amp I own & I don’t play it as my full time amp but, is super fun to pull out and sesh on every so often. I have this amazing clean tone setting as well! Definitely recommend!

@newamerikangospel 2 года назад

Vaguely related, but the Spider Valve 4x12 is an incredible steal. It's like a mix of a Traditional/Stilleto and ubercab.

@pacemoccasin439 Год назад

I always found that the best tone I got out of any line 6 spider was max gain crunch channel. Max gain crunch sounds legitimately good still as my practice amp

Just picked up the combo version of this for $85 at a pawn shop so far don't have much to say for the built-in effects however bypassing the preamp and using your own FX sounds decent it is a tube amp after all.

@steveclark9934 10 месяцев назад

@@LEON4PRES I've heard about the first generation version having some overheating issues as well I seen a video A guy ran a thermal camera over the inside that shows the suspected culprit where if you put a heat sink or thermal pad over the chip the heat dissipates better and it shouldn't be a problem mine is the first gen version so far I not had that issue yet mine came with a disconnected Drive pot I picked one up for $2 at the local guitar store haven't soldered it in yet as I bypass the preamp and the effects anyway I'm not a fan of the built-in at all and use a different preamp GP 200 modeler also came with a celestion vintage 30 at that price for me it was worth the Gamble I'm picking up a cheap cabinet in the future and going to put some decent speakers in it to run it on and I hear good things in the RU-vid world I think Glenn fricker had a video about doing this about the supposed great outcome it should be a great budget amp so far I enjoy this little project and it sounds fine.

Meshuggah recorded their most famous albums using similar software in the pod X3’s with 6L6 power amps from dual recs and Mesa/Marshall cabs. Pretty easy way to jump off with a good pedal platform and even make yourself a victory super kraken 100 for $700

Hey Kyle, nice video. Did you happen to have he manual for that head? There are a bunch of random features that are hidden in the buttons based on what channel you are on, can really fix some of the less desirable sounds. Not sure why they did that but, if you havent checked out the manual, might find some things you would like

@JohnSmith-ef2sx 2 года назад

Yeah towards the end I think it sounds like shit... You've got to crank the channel volume all the way. It's gets super warm and smooth with beautiful harmonics. My lead tones are super silky smooth. I don't know I've got mine dialed in to perfection. I can send you evidence so you know I"m not trippin.

@scottbrasher8007 Год назад

They wont specify what hd series he actual used . I know the gear page says hd100 but actually spilled the beans and let out it was a hd147. Which can’t be that different. But I am huge Larocque fan and really want a Dean custom c550 fr black so I can get abigail cover airbrushed on it. So if you can get hd147 for a few $100 more I may go with that one over the 100. Just trying to share some info on that

@scottbrasher8007 Год назад

It also said he uses the dean c350fr which is total rubbish. He uses the 550fr or the USA version on tours. Look at them they are all neck thru with real Floyd rose ebony boards and his custom shop Seymour Duncan custom larocque pickups. I believe you can have these very closely hand wound in custom shop to his but won’t give details lol.and of course his m-ii esp or caparison Horace. He is such a note for note player live, one of the raw talents I have ever heard among dime and Randy Eddie de martini in my book.seen him in 80’s here in Houston and Abigail tour among a few fate shows. Long live the King! Andy’s a beast and heavily give Mike Weed his props, dude can tear it up also. So another words most gear reviews try to get you in the ball park. But know for a fact he hears used Marshall’s. Mark v mesas and the hd147 and the line 6 hd147 he Brings 2 and a Marshall to gigs in case the 6’s poop out live. Must be something decent under the hood. But h uses Marshall,mesa. Diesel, and an Engle fireball from what research I’ve done . Just thought I would chime in and know there is a big brother to this which probably sounds $400 better. Gonna start seriously looking at these right now the 147 is going 675-850 so I may jump before they’re 1600.?

@williamklug4647 Год назад

I've got 2 of these heads. I love them. Best amp line 6 ever made. I just use an e.q. in the effects loop to dial the tone a little more to make it cut a little more. Over all they are great. People that hate on them are usually assholes that swear by marshall. I personally think Marshalls sound like shit.

@JRs-guitars Год назад

No offense man, love your videos but I think you're not sure how to dial in this amp. I played a MK2 version of this when they first came out and thought it was actually very good sounding. The gain control needs to be set higher on the metal and insane settings. That will effect the EQ too.
