http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/search.aspx?keywords=spider%20iv Why buy an amp and a whole bunch of pedals when you can get it all in one great unit? Features include amp models, distortions, fx, tuners, loopers, presets etc. There are smaller models for those starting out and more comprehensive ones for those who don’t want to spend time to searching for loads of wires and batteries and just want to play guitar after a days work!!
The Line 6 Spider IV guitar amplifiers pick up where the best selling Spider III range left off, advancing what is sonically possible from modeling amplifiers. Featuring complex distortions, and tube-style compression and sophisticated dynamic response, the Spider 4 range represents the most advanced Line 6 amp modeling to date.
Inspired by the sounds of classic American, British and European amplifiers, and based on the features that made Spider III amplifiers best sellers, Line 6 Spider IV amps offer an unlimited array of tones ranging from sparkling clean, through rich mid-range crunch just on the verge of breakup, right through to high-gain metal lead tones. Throw in a whole host of quality digital effects, coupled with unparalleled flexibility and editability, and you have some of the best value digital modeling amps currently available and what’s more their compact, easy to use and best of all great fun to use whether you want to jam, practice, record, gig or just play along to records, the Line 6 spiders deliver amazing variety and tones in a very affordably, quality product. No wonder they are one of the best selling amps…..

I am about to sell my Line 6 spider amp for a Fender Duluxe VM tube amp. I don’t like the emulation sound of my amp at the moment and really want to get that over driven tube tone for classic rock. However i am moving to uni in under a year, so having a solid state amp my be a good idea as it has the same tone at low volumes that it has at max.
My question is weither tube amps have turned up to get a good sound out of them, i hear all this ‘hotting up of the tubes’. both on clean and dirty channels.
thanks to anyone who can give me some help.
Well my only experience with tube amps is where I take my guitar lessons, and they certainly do have a great sound. The walls in the room are soundproofed, so we can go as loud as the amps can stand. While almost ANYTHING sounds better louder, tube amps do get that crisp feel once you reach a higher volume, for the very reason you said, and while this is definitely optimal you can turn the amp on twenty minutes or so before you play and it’ll tend to heat up, allowing you to play with a pretty low volume.
It’s really a decision that you’re going to have to make. Consider getting the tube amp, but just taking a high quality 15 watt with you. The better of these typically starter models can actually get impressively loud. Good luck with the decision anyway, and have a good time at U.
okay so I have a zoom g1 guitar effects pedal. I was wondering if I could use it with my bass guitar. and can I use it with my bass guitar amplifier? with my guitar. thanks for the help guys.
Yes you can, many bassists do, Cliff Burton used a Guitar Wah pedal, and I believe Juscin Chancellor from Tool uses a guitar distortion occasionally. As I say in many of my answers, it’s all about the tone you want.
What’s the difference between a Bass Amp and a Guitar Amp?
Can you play a bass or guitar in the opposite amp without wrecking the amp or instrument?
The preamp section of the amps are voiced differently. Meaning that they are meant for different frequencies. However, it is popular with some guitarists to play through bass amps especially an old fender bassman. There are even examples of bass players using guitar amps (but, i think it sounds like crap.) It should have no effect on the instrument, but a bass could wreak havoc on a guitar amp.
ok so next month i’m getting a new guitar and amp. I want something small, cheap and reliable, so i narrowed it down to these 2:
Fender 15W: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-Frontman-15G-Guitar-Combo-Amp-100324459-i1145383.gc
OR
Marshall 10W: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Marshall-MG10CD-Combo-Amp-101704062-i1145902.gc
I was thinking to go for the Fender one because I can get 5 more watts for just 10 extra dollars.
Which amp do you think is better?
I have a fender princeton reverb 65′ original all tube, and a marshall DSL 100 also tube. Nothing will compare to the cleans of a fender, and Marshalls are just great for that heavy distortion sound, without the speakers getting all muddy. It really depends on what sound you’re trying to get out of it, and of course what sounds good to you.
I have a small practice amp–a Marshall–that I use with my Mexican Strat. If I bought and acoustic-electric, could I use the same amp? I’ve seen "acoustic amps" ads. What gives? What’s wrong with useing a regular amp?
Also, does it make any sense for a guy that doesn’t perform to buy and acoustic-electric?
Yes you can. I wouldn’t think that the sound would be too great on a small practice amp , but it won’t hurt anything. I think acoustic amps are usually for smaller groups that want to travel light and don’t usually run any instruments through their p.a. systems. Most of the time when you see guys playing acoustic electric guitars in a band they are running them directly through the p.a. via a direct box. There are a lot of ways you can do it. What you buy is your choice but if you don’t really need the electric part of it then you could get a better acoustic. If that makes any sense to you.
