Paul Hindmarsh is such an awesome guitarist..you can hear the soul he puts into his playing....so beautiful!..excellent demo video too...one of the best I have seen for the Line 6
That's A Nice Yamaha Convertible....Bought Amp Yesterday...Haven't Had Time To Mess With Yet...What Lil Time I Did Enjoy...Was So Impressed I Bought The 240 Watt With The G10 Reciever :)
I started playing guitar/bass in garage bands {grandma taught mom who taught me originally} in the 1970’s. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Robyn Trower, Captain Beyond was the music we played at first… later; Rush, YES, etc.… I have had approximately 40 to 50 guitars in my lifetime… Currently, I have over twenty. Now in my Golden Years (LOL: 100% WTSC Disabled Veteran) I've learned collecting gear is just that... all YOU or anyone needs to learn, play, grow, and perform is One guitar, One amp, and One pedal! My guitar playing equipment recommendations: “Spider V 240HC MkII” Guitar Amplifier with “James Taylor Variax JTV-89F” “FBV3” Foot Controller “Delay G10R” Wireless Transmitter
Worst presets of any modeling amp I've ever played but once you dig into the brains of the option list to unsuck everything, I was pleasantly surprised to generate some damn fine tones, right up there with my Vetta. Bought the 120-watt 1x12 for shits and grins and I'm having a blast with it. That's usually the issue with most of these Borg boxes. You've got to spend time to create your own tones as long as the software is decent enough to get you there and in this case, for me at least, it is. Paul knows enough about 'em to get there as easy as anyone and FWIW, I chose this over the Katana, newbie Mustang and Blackstar...as I said, forget the presets, they're junk. Find something that is close enough to use as a platform and take some minutes to unclog the drain and create a tone you genuinely like. I spent one hour with the amp doing just that. By the end of it, I had created enough presets for most any gig. Every once in awhile it's nice to stumble on something that most everyone else has determined, through YT videos, is a flat out piece of shit that when uncorked, is actually a woefully underrated combo. The software is idiot proof and ridiculously easy to use. I was up and running in ten minutes through Windows, having a blast with the thing. Glad I let my own ears decide. It's not a game changer like a Kemper but for chump change, there's a lot of fun buried within.
I can see that you worked your way through the amp yourself... By any chance have you tried getting the tone for SIBLY by Led Zeppelin. I'm having trouble finding the right sound and at the moment I can't connect the amp to my pc, I think ppl can actually share their settings on the app and I'm hoping that someone tried to make the sound already but I don't have the ability to connect to the app right now.
Thanks for commenting on this. I just got the 120-watt as well for less than $150 but was a bit skeptical because of the different reviews on the amp, some saying it is a decent ones and some saying is crap. But now I see it's more a matter of digging into the device and as you said, 'unsucking' the tones.
I love my Spider IV but this thing has everything I dont and it looks great!! for this price point they sound amazing. I pair my head with a Mesa Boogie Road King 2, 4x12 and it is sublime. Having built in wireless, the ability to go direct, record, loop, use software to build patches, etc.. at this price? lol no brainer!! The head I want is $4000.00 so for $450 this will do just fine.
I will have one of these. Great demo American musical supply has the 120 for $399 not bad at all considering the cost of a Roland blues cube being super expensive and you are basically buying a solid state amp
Man! i got a spider IV and i was surprised, sounds great for low volume jams, i actually sold it and got the Sipder V20, could not be happier, it is smaller and has more features, For what it is. is perfect.
I recently bought the 240 -2x12 and it's awesome. I am upgrading from the flextone 2 1/2 stack I've had for 10 years. my only complaint and it's a pretty big one, is that you can't use the app to dial in your sound while plugged into your PC. Or at least I haven't found a way. if anyone has figured it out let me know.
Great playing! Cool demo. All that made me buy a Spider V120. I do like the amp. Now I find the Line 6 Spider V editor App is not supported in Windows or Mac. Why do the descriptions at retail sites product descriptions not indicating the app is ONLY mobile supported via iOS and Android?
awesome video and tones. Loved the Solo 100 patch/tone at the end. reminded me of some Joe Satriani stuff. Paul if I already have a Firehawk FX but want to be able to play my Acoustic and Electric guitar using the FHFX and get a Full Range output would the Spider V amp be a good choice or overkill since I already have a FH? Should I get a small PA/Monitor instead? I only play as a hobbyist at home and currently only use headphones on my FH to play my tones/patches. Thanks
I think your demo is brill and going to get one today if i cant find somin out can i get in touch with you please ....mant thanks and keep up the good work ...Rockin Bob South Wales uk
love line6!!!...but I'm always having some kind of electrical problem or software problem with there heads and amps...hopefully they solved that problem...never had a problem with returns sooooo...still love em...you cant get sounds like that out of any other solidstate amp!!!!....and love the ease of there stuff...just fix or keep a close eye out on you guys software and electrical dept...ROCK ON!!!
I am currently looking at either the Amplifi 30 or the Spider V30 for a little practice amp. I have been trying to find any suggestion online to why I would choose one over the other. Does any one have any useful reasons why I would go with one over the other. The main difference I see at the moment is the Spider V looks more like an Amp, the Amplfi is maybe better for music playback plus the control and streaming is over Bluetooth as opposed to the Spider V having the iPad plugged in.
Okay, so I get the bigger speaker but do I get the Spider or the Amplifi. What are the pros and cons between them. To me I don't see clear difference other than one looks like an amp and one doesn't. The Amplifi does Bluetooth and the Spider doesn't.
what line 6 head/can mini stack that back there? that the effin Vetta or a version? to this day the Vetta II combo was muh shiiiiiit! loved that amp! bring it baaaaaack lol
Why doesn't the V 240 have the basic 2 minutes or more layering of tracks abilities? My friends cheap spider jam amp and does that right through the amo. I guess I have to plug my spider V 240 into a computer to experience what his cheap Line 6 could do on the spot
I don't know what you idiots are doing wrong but the iPad and Android USB connections recharge my iPad and Android phone and that's a real cool feature!
I LOVE MY SPIDER V 240 AMP BUT I,M HAVING A TROUBLE GETTING THE DRUM LOOPS AND RECORDING A LIVE LOOP TO KEEP TIME WITH EACH OTHER HELP ME PLEASE! I ALSO HAVE A HD500X FOOT PEDAL CAN IT CONTROL MY AMP IN ANYWAY IF SO TELL ME HOW
Hey Paul, will the mk2 short board work with the spider v 240? I already own that is why I ask. Also how does this sound as a boom box? Is the spider v 240 a stereo amp? Any info would be appreciated! Hit me back!
I like the look and sound of these amps but one thing is stopping me from getting one and that is no-one seems to be able the question as to whether the output wattage is RMS or peak power. Does anyone know whether the 120w would be equal to my Marshall 100w (2 x 12 combo). I know loudness is subjective but I like line 6 gear and have the floorpod live xt as well as the Sonic Port which is superb and very robust. Can anyone help ?
solid state power sections usualy are not as loud as the tube counterparts at a given wattage..normally, a 50 tube amp will be as loud or louder than a 100 watt solid state amp..
I think @baileyvillewldeman is right, tube amps tend to sound louder than solid state amps. On the other hand, if wattage was expressed in peak power, the numbers would be far more bigger.
Clarence Prigent this is certainly going to replace my AMPLIFi. Although I'll still keep the Amplifi 75 as a nice Bluetooth speaker and occasional guitar in the living room. Nice looking piece. 😉👍
Clarence Prigent there are so many effects inside this little trash can that it effects the signal,I played one and hated it,the insane mode has no tone,just gain,same with the fender mustang but it sounds better than this,there are a couple useable tones on this thing but still,bias fx Is way better than this,oh AND THE MONEY,$3.00 for this thing when bias is way cheaper and you can do pretty much the exact same thing.
Thanks for making a demo with a skilled guitarist who knows how to use the equipment. To avoid insulting any of my fellow guitarists out there, I ask which would you rather watch-a guy who can really play, or someone like me who is mediocre at best? I choose the former, and because of him, I just ordered this amp. I’ll still be mediocre but it’ll be mediocrity with some great tones. Thank you, Paul!
I spent $500 on the amp, $250 on the FBV, and then more on the G10 transmitter. I love it all, what I absolutely HATE is the crappy App. It's junk. It crashes all the time. Why no PC editors? There is no bluetooth in this? I was looking at reviews around online sites that sell this. Most of the buyers hate the app as bad as I do. Line 6 needs to look at those reviews.
i bought a mesa 5:50 express 5/50 watt class A/A-B for less with an english black shadow 90 watt vintage 30 speaker,there were 5 other TUBE amplifiers for sale far cheaper but at least 500 to 1000% better available tone that would knock this thing flat on its ass.you need to stop listing to studio edited reviews of dogshit disguised as a usable amplifier,that was the worst $750 you lit on fire.i dont understand how people can be so fucking gullible?
THEY COULDN'T PICK A WORSE SPOT FOR THE LOOPER CONTROL BUTTON. REACHING OVER BUTTONS TO ACCESS IT, NOT MUCH ADVANTAGE THERE. AND THE FACT YOU HAVE TO HIT IT TWICE TO STOP PLAYBACK. VERY UNCOOL. YOU HAD THAT PART RIGHT ON THE SPIDER IV SERIES. WELL, WITH EXCEPTION TO A 14 SECOND LOOP. THE 60 SECOND LOOP IS MUCH BETTER. JUST FIX THE LOCATION OF IT AND THE PROCESS AND YOU'LL REALLY ROCK. IF ITS NOT BROKE, DONT FIX IT. OTHER THAN THAT, LOVE THE WIRELESS FEATURE. LOVE THE TONES.
please do not be confused folks,the amp does not produce sound like this at all out of the amp itself. its been post processed,equalized,filtered and had studio magic defuck its nastiness. "vomit inducing" or "fried asshole lips" is just about the only way to describe this pile
Its sad how many people will buy this garbage because of how good this demo sounds. You can get a boss katana for the same price give or take and they are absolutely amazing sounding amps.
By 2016, I would expect that Line 6 would have a handle on how to make really good, realistic clean tones. Not so. The clean tones here are just as antiseptic and over-processed as I have come to expect from their product line. The high-gain tones, modulation effects, etc. are quite good...and that's fine if that's all you do. Then there is all that endless tweeking that, for me, cuts into any actual creativity time. I'm not adverse to modelling. In fact, a Fender Mustang III V2 is my main gigging amp, but that's because I can dial in a good Fender tone without any muss or fuss.
A "New" amp by Line 6 and NO Variax plug? How utterly stupid. Line 6 could've made this the Vetta III but didn't. Which means its a decent practice amp ( Yamaha THR 10 sound better than this amp but don't have as many effects.) but nothing more. Paul's playing is great as always. I wonder how much use the old DT25 in the background gets nowadays.
The Bias tremolo effect produces a weird feedback/echo especially about 40-50% depth… It is just not that smooth as opto trem, very odd sound… Is here someone who also complains about the same issue?
Is the cabinet ported? Several calls to various dealers and Line 6 Headquarters DO NOT KNOW. I need to know if the cabinet is ported or not. The tweeter is always mentioned in conjunction with 'full range' but not whether the cabinet is ported or or not and what the the speaker range is. Very unprofessional. And stupid.
Im not a Line6 fan at all but your demo makes me feel like trying one of these beasts ...but Line6 amp sims are too flat in response IMO not enough real dirt its 4 studio recording
Jude Diaz Line 6 amps don't suck. They're just different. I like 'em. Kind of an acquired taste but they definitely aren't bad by any means. Unless you're going for that vintage tube sound, Line 6 amps work just fine. I feel like too many people don't look at the amps for what they are and automatically jump on the Line 6 hate bandwagon. Building guitar amps can't be an easy task. At least the people at Line 6 are doing something with their lives. Give credit where credit is due.
What were the engineers who designed this amp thinking? No on the fly PC editing? A lot of short comings. I would not invest. Also the tone is dildos. The guitarist in this review is very talented.
Great guitar work, absolutely garbage tone. I've used a Flextone II for like 15 years, why can't we get something with actual decent tone from Line 6 anymore?
i bought a mesa 5:50 express 5/50 watt class A/A-B for MUCH less with an english black shadow 90 watt vintage 30 speaker,there were 5 other TUBE amplifiers for sale far cheaper but at least 500 to 1000% better available tone that would knock this thing flat on its ass.you need to stop listing to studio edited reviews of dogshit disguised as a usable amplifier,that was the worst $750 you lit on fire.i dont understand how people can be so fucking gullible?
Oh god, that intro song tone sounds so grainy and dead, I think only Ryan Bruce has achieved something remotely likeable tone-wise in all the demos I've seen of this thing. I will say though, the clean tones sounded pretty okay. Other than the horribleness of the amp, this is good demo. Good explanation and overview of the features. Great playing too!
Kevys Rc & Music no it doesn't not even close i bet you have no clue how to dial in any tones on the line6 so it automatically sucks to you..well we are on to people like you who complain..you either don't know how to dial in tone or you pretty much suck at guitar i bet with YOU its BOTH..
I just purchased a Line 6 Spider V 240HC with the FBV3 controller. Love it 🤠🎶🎵
Now this is a decent demo.
Paul Hindmarsh is such an awesome guitarist..you can hear the soul he puts into his playing....so beautiful!..excellent demo video too...one of the best I have seen for the Line 6
Your a great player Paul! I'm always impressed by your style and phrasing!
Jstall7543 thank you.
The Spider V amps are so great. A V120 and fbv 3 is total comfort zone for me. Very rich, clear, inspiring tones.
Very nice playing, as usual Paul!
this series of amps looks (& sounds) impressive. Mark Hindmarsh, lovely display of colour and taste in your loops and demonstrations. Well done
Awesome demo Paul, love what you got going on dude! keep it up you'll win many hearts.
Paul is a sublime musician
so far this guy's the only one I've seen who makes this amp sound great.
That's A Nice Yamaha Convertible....Bought Amp Yesterday...Haven't Had Time To Mess With Yet...What Lil Time I Did Enjoy...Was So Impressed I Bought The 240 Watt With The G10 Reciever :)
shame your ability to judge tone is gone,kiss your taste and self respect goodbye
bought the V60 and couldn't be happier
I hope this guy got paid well for this , his creativity is the biggest selling feature .
Awesome sounds Paul and amazing RevStar axe you got there! I'm looking at getting the same one soon! 🤘

Hi - looks/sounds like a great amp Question..... can one alter the timings on the drum tracks (BPM) like the Spider Jam amp?
Could you tell me the name of the song at 6:25, please? Your improvvisations is simply amazing, man. I have to know what chords you play!
Man! i got a spider IV and i was surprised, sounds great for low volume jams, i actually sold it and got the Sipder V20, could not be happier, it is smaller and has more features, For what it is. is perfect.

Thank's Paul excellent as always!
Gr8 demo Paul, how about the Helix Valve Amp,
that would be kick arse and sell shitloads.
I wonder if it has a foot switch to turn off the drums when jamming? Anybody Know...?
Doubt it.
You can use the FB 3 to remotely control all of the amp's feature.
Provide some tabs for 6:30, it is beautiful.
need to make a video on how to save tones to the amp from the cloud
awesome video and tones. Loved the Solo 100 patch/tone at the end. reminded me of some Joe Satriani stuff.

could somebody please make me understand why theres no editing via desktop?
How do you get to artist presets
I am currently looking at either the Amplifi 30 or the Spider V30 for a little practice amp. I have been trying to find any suggestion online to why I would choose one over the other. Does any one have any useful reasons why I would go with one over the other. The main difference I see at the moment is the Spider V looks more like an Amp, the Amplfi is maybe better for music playback plus the control and streaming is over Bluetooth as opposed to the Spider V having the iPad plugged in.
get the 120 the 30 and 60 speakers are horrible- then you will still need to upgrade the speaker-
Okay, so I get the bigger speaker but do I get the Spider or the Amplifi. What are the pros and cons between them. To me I don't see clear difference other than one looks like an amp and one doesn't. The Amplifi does Bluetooth and the Spider doesn't.
i just got one of these a couple of days ago
How to bypass spider preamp section? Im using pod hd500x
what line 6 head/can mini stack that back there? that the effin Vetta or a version? to this day the Vetta II combo was muh shiiiiiit! loved that amp! bring it baaaaaack lol
Just curious, but can you use any of the line 6 G series wireless transmitters, or can you only use the G10?
Why doesn't the V 240 have the basic 2 minutes or more layering of tracks abilities? My friends cheap spider jam amp and does that right through the amo. I guess I have to plug my spider V 240 into a computer to experience what his cheap Line 6 could do on the spot
fucking awesome playing man, loved it.
*line6: let them be able to play wireless*
*also line6: but they can use mobile app only via cable*
omg *YOU HAD ONE JOB*
Man.. my phone runs out so fast when plugged into the amp. Very frustrating.
I don't know what you idiots are doing wrong but the iPad and Android USB connections recharge my iPad and Android phone and that's a real cool feature!
will there be a Spider Head Amp ?
i fucking hope not,they will be littering dumpsters within the week
I LOVE MY SPIDER V 240 AMP BUT I,M HAVING A TROUBLE GETTING THE DRUM LOOPS AND RECORDING A LIVE LOOP TO KEEP TIME WITH EACH OTHER HELP ME PLEASE! I ALSO HAVE A HD500X FOOT PEDAL CAN IT CONTROL MY AMP IN ANYWAY IF SO TELL ME HOW
What impedance does phones output have ?
Hey Paul, will the mk2 short board work with the spider v 240? I already own that is why I ask. Also how does this sound as a boom box? Is the spider v 240 a stereo amp? Any info would be appreciated! Hit me back!
Jstall7543 Hi. The 240 is stereo. I believe the short board mk2 will work but obviously no cool colours.
I like the look and sound of these amps but one thing is stopping me from getting one and that is no-one seems to be able the question as to whether the output wattage is RMS or peak power. Does anyone know whether the 120w would be equal to my Marshall 100w (2 x 12 combo).

I think @baileyvillewldeman is right, tube amps tend to sound louder than solid state amps. On the other hand, if wattage was expressed in peak power, the numbers would be far more bigger.
whats better the spider jam or the spider v?
Where is the list of all included amps ? Any bass amps included ?
Only the spider V 20 watt has a bass guitar function and a acoustic in it
The sounds sound similar to the POD XT Live... ????
What cable did you plug into the back of the amp when recording to the computer?
I recorded all of this via USB.
Like the review. Nice amp no matter what certain peoples are saying. If I didn't have an Amplifi amp, I would be interested in those amps. Good job!!!
Clarence Prigent this is certainly going to replace my AMPLIFi. Although I'll still keep the Amplifi 75 as a nice Bluetooth speaker and occasional guitar in the living room. Nice looking piece. 😉👍

What's the USB latency?
how do I find the app for my android device? can't seem to find it. thanks
Cristhian Alvarado just look up spider v
Great sound no matter what ignorant people say! I might even upgrade to a 60 watt so I can get wireless
Where are you Glenn ? Save us !!
Thanks for making a demo with a skilled guitarist who knows how to use the equipment.

I choose the former, and because of him, I just ordered this amp. I’ll still be mediocre but it’ll be mediocrity with some great tones. Thank you, Paul!
What is it for a Guitar ?
Paul, you friggin rock brother!!!!!! So damn creative!!
I thought I was done with buying Modeling Amps. Maybe Not..

Any chance that this amp can handle a bass guitar?
tried it for fun. Would not recommend.
The Spider V 20 watt has a bass function for bass guitar
Cleverer than a juggling trapeze artist with a phd in clever-bugga-ness.
THEY COULDN'T PICK A WORSE SPOT FOR THE LOOPER CONTROL BUTTON. REACHING OVER BUTTONS TO ACCESS IT, NOT MUCH ADVANTAGE THERE. AND THE FACT YOU HAVE TO HIT IT TWICE TO STOP PLAYBACK. VERY UNCOOL. YOU HAD THAT PART RIGHT ON THE SPIDER IV SERIES. WELL, WITH EXCEPTION TO A 14 SECOND LOOP. THE 60 SECOND LOOP IS MUCH BETTER. JUST FIX THE LOCATION OF IT AND THE PROCESS AND YOU'LL REALLY ROCK. IF ITS NOT BROKE, DONT FIX IT. OTHER THAN THAT, LOVE THE WIRELESS FEATURE. LOVE THE TONES.
What guitar is that?
Nefarious Affliction Yamaha Revstar. P20.
no bluetooth :(
please do not be confused folks,the amp does not produce sound like this at all out of the amp itself.
its been post processed,equalized,filtered and had studio magic defuck its nastiness.
"vomit inducing" or "fried asshole lips" is just about the only way to describe this pile

what line 6 should do is add a tube pre amp to this to warm it up a little, just my opinion.
Ah yes, colour coded controls...that works real well for people with CVD.
The amp's display screen and Android, iPad, iPhone, PC Apps shows you what's happening too you idiot!
Is the cabinet ported? Several calls to various dealers and Line 6 Headquarters DO NOT KNOW. I need to know if the cabinet is ported or not. The tweeter is always mentioned in conjunction with 'full range' but not whether the cabinet is ported or or not and what the the speaker range is. Very unprofessional. And stupid.
it sounds like shit,who cares if it has a hole in it
Im not a Line6 fan at all but your demo makes me feel like trying one of these beasts ...but Line6 amp sims are too flat in response IMO not enough real dirt its 4 studio recording
Amps this days are more computer than real amps
Mmm, no. They are still amps. They still amplify the sound as the primary function.
Book of Joe amps that SUCK,you can get bias for cheaper and do pretty much the same
Jude Diaz Line 6 amps don't suck. They're just different. I like 'em. Kind of an acquired taste but they definitely aren't bad by any means. Unless you're going for that vintage tube sound, Line 6 amps work just fine. I feel like too many people don't look at the amps for what they are and automatically jump on the Line 6 hate bandwagon. Building guitar amps can't be an easy task. At least the people at Line 6 are doing something with their lives. Give credit where credit is due.
D-Rock The Illest Yeah I also like line6 this is my next amp, plus want the podhd500 too
Samuel.ne this is the future man
OBVIOUSLY REFERRING TO THE FBV BOARD IN PREVIOUS COMMENT. LOL, SORRY.
What were the engineers who designed this amp thinking? No on the fly PC editing? A lot of short comings. I would not invest.
Also the tone is dildos.
The guitarist in this review is very talented.
Great guitar work, absolutely garbage tone.
I've used a Flextone II for like 15 years, why can't we get something with actual decent tone from Line 6 anymore?
Охуеть, будут денежки, обяз куплю.
The first
i bought a mesa 5:50 express 5/50 watt class A/A-B for MUCH less with an english black shadow 90 watt vintage 30 speaker,there were 5 other TUBE amplifiers for sale far cheaper but at least 500 to 1000% better available tone that
would knock this thing flat on its ass.you need to stop listing to studio edited reviews of dogshit disguised as a usable amplifier,that was the worst $750 you lit on fire.i dont understand how people can be so fucking gullible?
Still sounds like... Glenns farts?
doesn't sound good
God Damn yea it doesn’t! The spider iv is terrible and this is no different. Line 6 is better with effects but not overdrive or distortion
Line 6 was hey you wanna job?
Dude was like yes!!
Line 6 great!! Here some amps send us vids.
And he sent vids
A little more demo of the amps presets than playing. We know you can play, but review the amp, not your playing.
Oh god, that intro song tone sounds so grainy and dead, I think only Ryan Bruce has achieved something remotely likeable tone-wise in all the demos I've seen of this thing. I will say though, the clean tones sounded pretty okay.
Other than the horribleness of the amp, this is good demo. Good explanation and overview of the features. Great playing too!
Line 6 is complete ass
This guy's sound completely blows away all your kindergarten level shit!
@@jamdalf4343 ok broke ass
my old peavey backstage amp sounds better than this whatever it is
Sure it does. more like you just have a BIAS
Kevys Rc & Music no it doesn't not even close i bet you have no clue how to dial in any tones on the line6 so it automatically sucks to you..well we are on to people like you who complain..you either don't know how to dial in tone or you pretty much suck at guitar i bet with YOU its BOTH..
Hello my name is .... the line 6 speaker sounds like loaded shit bags banged on a tambourine. Don't even get me started on the presents....
