Chances are you or someone you knew had a Line 6 Spider Amp at some point. Maybe it was a Spider Valve HD100. Maybe you thought it was total garbage poo poo. Maybe you thought it ripped. Either way, we are going to test this one out and see if it sucks.

I must say, I like the Spider Valve. Especially that Line 6 did not try to copy iconic amps 1:1 but took the liberty to tweak them. They’re unique. If you gave someone the metal blue or the insane blue channel in a tread plate case with silver dome knobs, told them it’s a $3000 tube amp hand made by some guy in Denmark - people would rave about how polished it sounds.

@DemonApple1982 9 месяцев назад

It's a great sounding amp but wouldn't recommend for live touring because of its heat issues. Found out it would go nuts after about an hour or two of jamming in the garage because we later found out that the fatal design flaw had the heat from the amp circuit cooking the mainboard! Tried to have it serviced by a line6 authorized repairer, they could no longer replace the the board because Yamaha (line6's parent company) discontinued parts for it.

I bought the Mark 2 because it was super cheap in 2015. There were some presets from the previous owner that are amazing. I actually use this thing all the time. Having the foot switch makes that volume twitch thing kinda go away. It is definitely a one stop shop for gigging. In the end I'm glad i bought it. If you figure it out, its a gem. Good to see it on your channel.

Big love for Line 6's experimental 'what if we went full retard on our DSP' amp models from the pre-Helix era. Still a great source of obscenely hi-gain, all-out digital tones with no concern for realism. Perfect for extreme death, grind, slam, fuzzed-out stoner metal and harsh industrial guitars.

I have this amplifier and have been using it for 10 years. It does cover a lot of ground I use it with my carvin cabinets with v30s. This thing will rip your head off and it has quite a few sounds pretty good cleans average edge of breakup and killer high gain metal! Never thought of putting a boost in front of it I've used the boost internally and it was average at best. Really a good bang for your buck amplifier. If you can't afford a bunch of amps and pedals and stuff this is a great amp that can do almost everything in one box! The only thing I hate about it is you get menu paralysis because all the menus are on that little teeny screen. Other than that I've always raved about this amp. I'm looking at it right now lol. Great video and I like your Jackson I like the black inlays Just not into the Rhoads shape. I've got a few King V's. Thanks again 🤘

Cool video Taylor! I have a Spider Valve 112 combo with the original Celestion V30 and it sounds okay. I find the trick to making these really deliver is to back down the Channel volume right down and then compensate by cranking up the Master volume to get the power tubes warmed up. You have to be careful for your hearing (as you spotted!) if you change channels as the default channel volume will revert to 'normal'. Still prefer my 6505 but the L6 can give you a different set of tones if recording e.g..

@TaylorDanley Год назад

I've had the HD100 head for about 12 years now and it's a freaking BEAST of an amp. I also have an original Vetta II + 2x12 loaded with Celestions along with 3 generations of AxeFX units (II Mark II, XL+, and the III). The HD100 isn't in the same league as the Fractal units, but for a HUGE library of sound possibilities you just can't go wrong with the HD100, especially for metal.

Ive had a 212 since way back 07. Its mental for an amp that size, loud asf once you get that master up past half way and those tubes start to glow like mood lighting. You've showed me some new things so I will have some fun playing around with it later, 1000 thanks. If you try that thing up loudish (master between 1/4 - 1/2) the sound fills out and makes your guitar sound so big.

@StephGV2 Год назад

Keeping my eye out for a DT25 head at the right price. >$500 is overpriced for what they are in 2023 which is what I keep seeing them sell for in Washington. HD100s go for a more reasonable $250 around here.

Nice video! I have the spider valve 1x12 combo mk 1 and I get what you mean about the overdrive but tbh if you shape the tone right it doesn't sound too bad. Considering it came out in like 2007 it still holds up today tone wise if used correctly. One thing I would say is try the different presets out. For metal they have a few slipknot presets and as I lay dying, killswitch engage that are pretty good. If you have the mk2 version of the spider valve or HD 100 you can edit presets on your PC kinda like the boss katana unfortunately on my mk 1 spider valve that's not possible.

I used to own a 2x12 combo of these as a teen Worked pretty fine to me and after you worked out some presets and don’t have the extreme volume jumps it’s pretty gigable (+ I had the Giant midi Pedalboard) And with 2 V30 speakers it sounded pretty good Very nostalgic to me 🤘

Great review! Had the same amp for 10+ years, bought a Line6 HD PRO to replace it because I wanted something more compact. (+) * great amp sounds * great fx * simple to use * noise reduction + gate can be run parallel and they work great (-) * dependent on a good cab for getting the full sound of the amp (more than other amps) * REALLY bad wiring and cold solder - like abysmal... had to be serviced every 1.5 years to get that fixed * extra sensitive to transport - not an amp for touring or playing live shows. TL;DR: great for a home amp, bad for a touring/live musician

I’ve got the mk2 version of this amp, I used to have the mk1, but the mk2 is definitely better, with a dedicated manual channel. Meaning you can use the knobs with out being affected by presets, the effects are better. There’s a switchable and adjustable noise gate. Loads of stuff is actually better on the mk2 version. And the power amp is great for putting modern modellers like a head rush mx5 through. Great review. They aren’t the best, but very usable & cheep.

@jonoftheford 11 месяцев назад

The MK1 version of this amp runs on XT era models. However, the Mk2 version (with the manual and quick loop buttons) has “HD era” amps and some M series effects and excels at edge of break up tones among others. The manual switch helps with the momentary knob issue. The floorboard and software make adjustments very convenient. Seems like the heads are somewhat hard to find since the Helix crowd figured out they can run the helix into the loop return to warm up their tone.

@Trymr 10 месяцев назад

I’m a huge Line 6 Valve Mk1 guy. The reason is it’s easy live with the footboard to get nice FX that I’d use in the studio & have it approximate it without me needing my giant pedalboard live. It weighs 30 lbs instead of 60-80. It sounds amazing. A couple things you did wrong: it doesn’t accept active pickups well. If you used passives you’d get a much better reaction from the amp. Also, the drive is always WAY too much & same with the bass. My go to is amber metal & I keep the drive on 2-3 & it’s perfect. Lastly, this amp sounds night & day with a BBE Sonic Maximizer/Sonic Stomp in the loop. There’s a lot of issues with this amp not sending things to the cab correctly through phase inversion & all that so the Sonic maximizer turns this from a 5/10 when it comes to tone to a 8-9/10. It sounds incredible. I remember people balking at how I had a L6 Valve yet then after a set they’d be like “dude your tone is freaking amazing!” I remember I was about to buy a modded 1981 JCM800 at Guitar Center which sounded awesome but then for giggles I thought I’d try the valve. It was alright. Then my buddy who worked there grabbed a Sonic Maximizer & I bought it instantly. I had never heard an amp sound SO good without being like 3500+. It blew all of the Dual Rec’s they had there out of the water & same with the 800. Everyone: Get this amp used but make sure to splurge on the BBE Sonic Maximizer in that loop.

Like this revisions from old amps. I want to see if you can find a Line 6 Vetta II HD. Messhugah used it live back in the day

@nothingislogical Год назад

I used to have one of these and it was pretty killer. One of those amps that I kind of kick myself over getting rid of. I got on a kick of wanting to downsize my rig so I sold it about 8 years ago. I just recently made my way back to owning a half stack so I guess it was just a phase. lol

Nothing sells a 4x12 like a few years of your tone whipping past your ankles

I bought a Spider-Valve 212 mk1 new in 2006 and I still use it every day. It is the secret sauce in my tone but I use it with other amps for a "wet/dry, dirty/overdriven, eq crossover, dual mono rig" since the amp is thinner and pairs well with a bass heavy amp like a Mesa. FBV controllers and saving your presets are mandatory for the volume spikes. I've had to change some tubes every 5 years but wouldn't tour with it for sure. That being said, I forgot about the hidden modes!

Just picked up the 112 mk1 I've never owned a tube amp before how do I know if the tubes need replacing?

@ahabshell3571 11 месяцев назад

@@steveclark9934 : if you have weird volume drops/ramp ups or weird noises... might be tubes! If you have amp problems, start there. Spider valves have touchy knobs so the foot controller is a must.

I used line 6 amps in the past and currently running through Helix, i find that line6 products are always so full of options that it's so easy to dial in very bad tones, but that means that great tones are also in there, when you take the time to navigate through the settings and adjust all the little details you can find really awesome tones and most importantly find your own personal sound, this of course impact the ease of use and may induce choice paralisys, that's why people who are used to classic tube amps with bass-mid-treb-gain setting don't like those products, and that's fair, although there seems to be a lot of unjustified hate on line6 just because it's line6 and it's a trend to hate on it. But that's it, line6 amps and modelers need time to dial in because everything is in there but once you put the work in it it can be the best sound you haver had.

I think like a lot of line6 stuff the price point means it falls into the hands of inexperienced players that don't have their ear trained therfore bad tones , I definitely agree with he option paralysis having a pod HD pro myself, took me a long time to get great sounds out of it , I'm running it with my krank and either with Sims or boosting the kranks tone with the pods od it sounds great

Really like that Jackson RR do you have video on that guitar or model info you could share. Great video

I always thought these were pretty decent other than changing a setting and getting BLASTED with volume all of a sudden. Haha I was that guy at Guitar Center one time

@sonicsega1699 Год назад

sounds like it was aimed for the more extreme metal categories. it has that black metal sound for clean and dirty.

@MercutioUK2006 Год назад

This is not helping my desire to pick up the 1x12 combo....... Great stuff 👌

@juanvaldez4043 Год назад

Still got mine and I love it, however, mooer, nux, and zoom are serious competitors

@MC-dj7ri Год назад

Hey Taylor! Quick question. If you were playing metalcore or thrash metal and on a budget, what would you choose? This amp in the demo, the xxl or a earlier ampero or mini? Feel free to throw in a amp I didn’t mention. I enjoy your work and the fact that you take time to answer questions. It’s a real bummer when someone you know buys a amp that doesn’t do what they’re hoping for. Again much obliged for all your efforts to share knowledge. Keep up the great work!

Don't feel bad, I have a fender mustang 2 40 watt that I've had since like 2013, just found out this year I can adjust the effects level like 2 months ago 😂

@eddiev8148 Год назад

Line 6 makes good budget amp,… had a 2x10 spider when I was a young teen that I bought from Sam Ash for $300,… a Marshall or a Create or even a Mesa were easily double the price if not more. Plus the spider came with modeling and FX plus a tuner built in. Believe mine had 3 distortions, chorus, flanger, phase etc like come on! When you’re a teen still learning whose parents don’t have the cash to dish out a ton of money on amps, pedals a guitar cables etc.

People need to look at the line 6 flextone series amp heads. Mai ly the flextone 2 Amp head. It's ultra awesome. Even more so if you have the big pedal board for it that you can get.

@gabedraper7594 10 месяцев назад

Taylor, if you guys want to use a modeler through the return as power amp , that amp sound huge ...moves a lot of air..

@justinplaysguitar 6 месяцев назад

Damn I had one of those and had no idea there was like secondary buttons like the boost. Damn. A soder point brought or nothing just stopped working after a while but for years I’d have to jiggle the volume knob to get a better connection
