sepultura999 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 I tried the Line 6 spider II and I wasn't very pleased. The knobs are so sensitive that the sound waves could turn them lol. There's 2 metal settings and one metal on the Ultra setting. I didn't find them to be that great - I prefer a good clean amp (like a fender deluxe) with a Digitech metal master cranking the morph all the way up, or use a RAT2. The clean on the line 6 was kind of garbage I thought as well. Then again I hear once and a while that some amps have to be cranked past a certain point to get the best out of it and I had this amp at maybe 1 since there was about 20 other people in the guitar store playing and the owners have to keep the peace lol. I also tried recently a Marshall MG50 and wow was that ever garbage as well . My 30 watt Nova amp from Sears could keep up with it clean wise. I am currently amp shopping and there's three amps I still wanna check out - Peavey XXL combo, XXX combo, 5150 combo, and a Marshall AVT275. So far a Fender Deluxe is winning in the race of "come home with me" . Can anyone provide some insight on those peavey and marshall amps if you recommend them? My style is bands like My Dying Bride and Anathema - slow metal riffs with occasionaly thick dark clean. I've been told just to get a fender and use a good distortion pedal. -Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biohazard Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Do people have any comments on the Line 6 Flextone III amps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted December 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I've been searching around for amps a little more and have come up with more amps that are within my price range. I was just wanting to know what people's opinions and comments about them are. The amps are: Laney Tube Fusion models Laney TFX models They are not valve amps and they are not solid state. They are a hybrid of both. There is a valve pre-amp and the final output is solid state. What do people think of these. Since they are both valve and solid state does this mean a 65w would do me, or because of the solid stateness would I need 100w or something around there? Thanks for any comments.
