Spider V 60 MKII

This is my third Line 6 Spider V amplifier! I own 2 Line 6 Spider V 20 models, and love them. Now I have this third amp that I love so much! I can't wait to test out this amp with my new Jackson Dinky JS 12! The features of this amp are amazing! If you're looking for an amp to use while practicing at home, or at a friend's house, this is it. A friend of mine had a Line 6 Spider Jam amp that I played with years ago while an Ibanez guitar was plugged into it. The Spider V60 MKII is a huge upgrade from the Spider IV series! Best features of this amp are the looper where I can write riffs that come to mind, I can practice to drum loops, explore all the pre-sets, and amp cab models, and just to clarify, if yall want to practice along to backing tracks when using the aux port on the back of this amp, the audio from a phone or tablet, sounds amazing while either device is plugged into the back of the amp. So you won't have to worry about listening to the muffled sound of audio that goes into your amp while practicing. You will hear the backing tracks loud and chrystal clear. This amp is nice and loud. I haven't tested out the classic speaker mode feature, but will eventually. At first, the knob to change pre-sets is a bit tricky when accessing the drum loops, and metronomes, but this amp is worth a buy! Don't hesitate! Buy this amp! 5 out of 5 stars and so glad I bought this amp. Glad I did not pass this up! Exceptional tones, heavy and crunchy high gain distortion tones, and nice beautiful clean tones! Get it!

I'm really enjoying my Line 6 Spider 60 watt amp. I found a couple clean settings That I'll need to memorize. The clean setting ( the first setting) gives you something warm on your rhythm toggle switch or your neck pick up. "boutique" is another clean setting I really liked. I found five or six distorted patches that were next to perfect. After watching a youtube video on a review . . .(by Dawsons ) I realized I could add more reverb to my patches. The reverb sounds good and the f/x setting next to the reverb knob dial (delay setting) is perfect for what I want to do with this amp. I'm thinking about buying the line 6 POD HD 500x - which cost $550 . . .but gives you the ability to change settings while on stage with a simple foot tap. Don't get me wrong, the effects on the Spider are great . . .but I need to figure out how to switch effects with out walking to the amp and turning a knob . . . .This amp is great as a practice amp . . .and you could, probably, take it to a studio and get what you want. I've heard some negative critiques about using this amp in the studio . . .but I feel this amp (with it's effects patches) can do the job and give you the tone you're looking for. For the price, this effects system is a steal . . . .and I've been using Line 6 amplifiers for 20 years . . .and found the effects system on most of their amps was, generally, what I wanted. The Spider is way better than what I had 20 years ago . . . .and 60 watts is perfect for what I need, today. The Spider V 240 HC head is another way to go . . .but I still want that POD HD 500x. I need a good foot pedal . . .and after using the Boss gt6 (which is as old as dirt) I'm finding the line 6 line of products are what I want, today. I've heard horror stories about the Boss ME-80 . . . never tried it . .and I'm not sure about purchasing that model . . .but after buying the Spider . . .I'm sold on line 6 products . . .

Package arrived in a day, well packaged, with a box in a box with Packing materials. This 60 watt amp is the perfect partner for my Michael Kelly Patriot Instinct! Am 65 and have been in music for many years, this is the perfect practice amp with many more options than I will ever need. Just so you know, this 60 watt, 200+ amp isn't just for practice, it is good enough and portable enough for just about any small gig! By the way, major kudos to Glenn, I always love his reviews, honest and straightforward. Great amp, great sounds in classic and good price for such a tool!

First off you don't need a guitar to customize or hear the preset tones because of the demo mode you can turn this on and hear what each tone sounds like which is nice because I don't have to sit there and play something random to hear the preset second of all it has a drum machine so no need for a pedal with a drum machine this amp has so many features I played around with it for 2 hours without plugging in a guitar to the thing 3rd thing I noticed this right away it's very light weight and looks sleek it produces good quality sound this amp is an all in one you can do anything with this amp this thing is a beast and offers the best bang for your buck I bought the 60watt version for testing purposes but rest assured I will get the 240watt because this 60 watt amp puts my line 6 spider 3 to shame and it's got 2 12 inch speakers I've been using that for gigs for a few years and got a decent deal on it only thing I wish was that this amp came with a foot pedal like my spider 3 came with I would recommend this amp to anyone looking it's affordable and arrived at my door quickly you can also download a remote app and adjust your amp settings from your phone and I do believe you can see other people's tones and use those as well this amp isn't difficult to use I figured alot of the bells and whistles out without reading the manual within minutes the preset tones are awesome there's over 100 of them and multiple fx features and you can access everything with the touch of a button you can adjust amp settings with the knows and press a button that switches you over to a sound fx menu and adjust those with the knobs this is probably the most versatile amp I've ever owned it also has a metronome with multiple metronome sounds to fit all your needs the drum machine presets are pretty sweet to only complaint I have about that is you can't adjust the speed just the volume but none the less still pretty dope I hope that those of you that buy this amp enjoy it as much as I am

Cumplió y sobrepasó mis expectativas, el sonido es muy claro y potente, con la distorsión y múltiples efectos disponibles en su app puedes tocar bastantes canciones y estilos, si puedes conseguirlo con descuento o promoción mejor aún, sí vale lo que cuesta.

Extraordinario , lo mejor

I've owned spider amps in the past and was excited to try out this latest rendition. I'm giving this review a low rating because I received this amp yesterday, and it was broken before I even unpacked it. When I picked up the box, it had something rattling around inside it, so I knew something was up. Brought it downstairs, plugged my guitar in and what did I discover? No sound. The thing would power up, but no sound from the guitar. I decided to open the back up, and found 2 wooden planks that were horrendously glued into the frame, had come off and were shaking around in the unit. That was the first thing that irked me. The second was that there were quick connect wires that weren't even plugged in. If I didn't have a hobbyist interest in electricity, this thing would have been sent right back. I plugged the wires in and took out the planks and it seems to be working fine right now. But, my point is, that's not okay. I don't know if the speakers have been damaged or the connections or wires themselves, so only time will tell, but I didn't want to have to package it back up, go out to the post office, send it back, wait for a refund or have them send me another one back, and then be able to jam 2 weeks from now. I have never written a review on amazon, but this bothered be enough to come here, just to write this to warn people that what they're buying may not be passing quality control. This has now taken a few hours of fiddling, just to get it to work, after a week of excitedly waiting for my new toy. I will add however, that the thing so far sounds good, and it does have a lot of play tools, but just be warned you may have to perform surgery on the unit before you can start shredding.

With drums, bass, and vocals going, this little amp did the job. It was loud enough in volume for all that and volume knob was at 4.5-ish. Granted, the amp sat on top of a 4x12 cabinet but still... similar height setup should work in most Jams or even gigs. I'm glad I bought this!

love this new amp! worth every penny paid and more! EASY TO USE with or without the app!
