Here Today... Gone To Hell!

did anyone test those amps?

I'm interested in getting the spiderII model, since I have a 80W marshall (not valves) and I supose that spiderII will give me more versatile sounds...

what do you guys think about this amp ? who played with them?

http://line6.com/spiderII/see.html

there's some info

I haven't tested the one you mentioned but I did play with a Line 6 at a friend of mine. I think generally the line 6 amps are good amps which give you are great variarity of different sounds. However I'm not really fond of the sound of it. Just ain't my thing. It does sound pretty warm but it gave me the impression of a......metall direction sound. And I don't play that kinda music.... If I were you I'd stick to marshall amps. But it's all about personal preferation. I can tell you the amp sucks, but perhaps you dig it. No one can decide for you, so go to a local store and I'd say test them.  :)

ok I'll do that... since SpiderII model has some vintage amp models (jcm800, fender vintages...) and my marshall has not valves... made in indonesia  :(

I have the spider 2 212 model. Is ok. Lots of different models bu you need to buy the shortboard which costs half as much as the amp itself to make it decent! :-\
I want to get a Marshall amp. A JCM, dont really care if its a 800, 900, 2000 or whatever.

yeah... JCM 800 would be way better  :drool:

But I live in Argentina and the music market sucks so I won't get one in a considerable price  :(

Think about your neighbours in Uruguay.....worst market ever!
About the Line 6, I?ve tested it and it sounds ok, but if you want a kind-off Slash sound, save some money and go for a marshall, the best is the best!

I recommend the Vox Valvestronix series over the Line 6 stuff. For modeling amps they sound way better IMO.

ok I'll look for vox too

thanks so much guys !

this is the best musicans "gnr" forum EVER !  :peace:

Peavy Bandit112 is better than the Spider thats for sure.

I'm not sure about Thomann and Argentina..

damn that sucks!!!!

sorry guys!


thats what im gonna do with that PODxt live 6.0 pedal board. im gonna order it, if it doesnt drasticallyimprove my sound and tone ill ship it back for a refund

i wish i had done that with that Digitech300A i bought

Since the topic is Line6 and at least D's concidering buying one, here's a quick version of Nightrain that I did to demonstrate what, for example the PODxt can do... I can put other samples online too if you or any other wants to hear something different, since this is only a very narrow take..

Now this is just to demo the sound.. Feedback is appreciated, but do bare in mind that both guitars were done with one take. And the drums and the base are very low quality, but that's really not what this is about. Oh and the solos.. well.. don't pay too much attention... :hihi:

The left channel is a JCM 800 with no real effects, just a lot of drive and some reverb.
The right channel is also a JCM 800 with a classic distortion as a stomp box. It has some reverb but no other effects.
The right channel sounds a bit "thin", but that's due my bad settings.
It was recorded through USB, though the other outputs can be used too with almost identical results (I couldn't tell the difference)

removed the link...

I'll keep it online for a few days.

are u intentionally trying to torture me????

its probably gonna be around 4 to 6 weeks before i can get mine and listening to RNT's and now yours is driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great playing there by the way!!!!!!!!! : ok:

i'd recomend v-ampires head and cab by behringer. way cheap and damn rockin! it's basicly a better v-amp 2.

i've got a video of me playing with a v-amp 2.

when i find out where i hosted it i'll put the link up.


btw line 6 rocks but i can only talk for the vetta 2 combo and halfstack. but those babys are way expensive.

edit:
here it is... it's badly recorded but i can get killer sounds with this. u just have to adjust it t'ill u have the sound u'r looking for

I have to make a decision

should i go with the

Line 6 POD 2.0

or get the Line 6 podxt live pedalboard?

I bought the Vox Valvetronix VTX 60 (i think) and it is the best modeling amp i have ever heard.  I love it and would recomend it to anyone.  It is truly awesome.

Get the POD 2.0 and a behringer FCB1010 pedalboard ... it will be cheaper then the XT Live , better amps and more flexible .. plus with the FCB you will have 2 expression pedals rather then one. IMHO the XT just doesnt sound as good as the older POD 2.X models. I've had both and had to sell my XT cause it just was not worth it.

What about Traynors YCV40WR Custom Valve? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/fg=41/g=guitar/search/detail/base_pid/489074/

Can you get a slash sound out of that? I play alot of Led Zepp, Skynyrd, AC/DC, GNR... stuff like that. Does anyone know if that amp would be good for this?????????????

Saul,

can u still use the pod without the pedal board?

how much extra does the pedal board cost?

thanks

My friend, who also has experience of both 2.x and xt, said too, that the 2.0 had better Mesa boogie's than the xt.. Other than that, he prefers the xt though because of the effects and other amp models.. I only have the xt, and have never heard the 2.0 in action, so I can't really say anything.

If you have the chance... do try both. It's never all that good to buy stuff based on what you've heard from someone.. But sometimes I understand, it is the only option.

Yes , totally. But the floorboard just gives you a wealth of more options , flexability , wah wah and volume pedal features etc etc. Without the floorboard you have to switch patches with your hand .. the floorboard allows for hands free operation. It's only about 150 bucks extra .. in fact you could get both the FCB board and POD 2.3 on ebay for the same price as just an XT and TONS cheaper then an XT LIVE!!!

Try both , especially compare the mesa boogie and JCM 800 amp models on both .. the 2.3 is easily much much better in tone IMHO .. but that could change for you.

I got my POD last week!

I bought a POD 2.0 plus the additional regular floorboard *not the one with the wah* but the one with 4 switches for 214.00 bucks

I thought i got an excellent deal, it came with the mount, the floorboard and the big steel suitcase to carry it around in.

I bought it off Ebay and im very very pleased with it

u were right Saul

that LIne 6 insane is unbelievable!

my solo's really rip like a muthafucker now as well.

thanks for all the help guys!
u all are officially in my thank you's on my CD!
