Very loud amp, twin Celestion speakers and a superb effects palette. All advances controls are accessed by navigating through a series of pages on the illuminated LCD screen, using the multi-directional switch. Not a bad system but I have to say that I preferred the feel of the Spider II which had far fewer options but it just sounded better. Version IV is still pretty impressive though.

So I just got this used for a steal. My first BIG amp. The volume control is insane. You could barely turn it up without blowing my place up.

I totally agree. I mean you expect it to be loud but this thing could do some real damage at full volume.

I have the same amp. They are tremendous but people don't take the time and trouble to learn how to use them. It's everything you will ever need with a Mk2 foot controller. Eventually I'm going to get the 150w stacking version with a four speaker cabinet.

Perseverance certainly brings out its best. My only caveat would be that it has a definite signature sound that might not suit everyone.

Thanks for uploading this video. I've just bought a Spider 4 120w. A couple of months ago I bought the Spider 2 150w and was blown away by how good the S2 sounded. The S2 works well with the BOSS GT8. I use it on clean using the BOSS GT8 and the Roland JC120 patch. Having tried the S2 without the GT8 iv found that I can get as close to a R120 using Clean Chorus and delay. Iv now set the Spider 2 to emulate a JC120 and no longer using the GT8 so very impressed.. Regarding the Spider 4 120 iv been able to emulate thr JC120 by using these settings.. User 02A Pop Rocks patch.. drive at 12 bass 2 O'clock mid 2 O'clock tremble 4 O'clock channel V 12 O'clock Gain Off. Chorus showing around 16 bar's in the LED display. Delay around 10 bar's in the LED display Reverb 9 O'clock. Guitar is a Fender Jaguar that uses 2 single coil pick ups. These settings work great on both neck and bridge pick ups. I last used a JC120 over 30 plus years ago so it's more about memory!. I use a Line6 long foot board that came with the amplifier so very grateful for any advice

I also have this Amp.. I think it depends on the player's choice or tone building sense.. This amp has some small issues, but can't complaint about the tones, cause It's possible to edit and make it sound as preferred..

Just bought the head to go with the cab, I love it. Real punchy tone, some ppl hate it mainly cause they are tube snobs or such (nothing wrong with tubes), just opinions. Just depends on the player. Lol
@gearfacts
@gearfacts 6 лет назад
I agree with your comments about the cab and snobs haha ...I think the thing to focus on is enjoying your music and your guitar playing. I've met so many musicians who lose sight of that and agonise over sonic choices that aren't even going to be noticed by their audience. And the fact is - not everyone has $2000 to fork out on a pro tube amp, they've only got $200 to spend on something that sounds 90% as good :)

I would like an option for a pre set drum or bass background track, that you could turn the dial to speed it up for rock or down for blues. Anyway I bought one of these used to pick up tomorrow. So we'll see if it goes back on the market the day after. Big market in used gear now.

so do U get the best sound by low master and high channel volume? I can never get this right
@gearfacts
@gearfacts 2 года назад
All depends on the kind of energy you're putting into your playing. Personally I like to get the patch sounding 'right' and use the master purely for volume. But some people like to have really loud patches and use the master more like an attenuator. Go forth and experiment, and don't let anyone else tell you what's a "good" sound. You are the master of that question.

@gearfacts
@gearfacts 6 лет назад
No, there's no wah. This was a disappointment to me. Check online though, you can add a "shortboard" to it that may add a wah capability. Check though, as I'm not 100% sure about that :) Gearfacts.

Oh I agree. Even though I made this demo and I like Line 6 gear, this amp is not a glowing example of amp-hood. The Spider 2 was the best in the series imho, and it's been eclipsed by lots of different models since it's release back in the 00's.

Yeah I've found the Blackstar to be good, although they had a lot of quality control issues with the first few models. I think the Fender, Boss and Marshall models all have features that shine though, so I guess there's no one all-round superior amp. Sounds like you had bad/costly experience with Line 6 right?
