Line 6 Spider III 15-Watt Guitar Combo Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A few days ago I borrowed a Spider II 15 from a friend, I was impressed with it , and since I had to borrow an amp you should get the idea that I needed a new small practice amp... while many adequate small amps (10-25 watts) exist they tend to be small sounding and shy on features, or the effects are substandard and don't sound like high quality stomp boxes at all .... The Spider II proved to be an exception to this notion, I knew within an hour that Line 6 would probably be the maker of whatever amp I ended up buying...This was my first hands on with a Line 6 product, by the way....

So I began to search for a baby spider of my own ... I found a great deal on a Spider III 15 at Guitar Center and rushed to town to snag me one of my own ... I bought the very last one at the store, they sell very quickly I was told by the salesman ... Lucky me !!

Cosmetically the spider III looks almost exactly like the II, the features are the same, but the III has been noticeably tweaked to the consumers benefit .. The effects sound a bit better and the mids are allot better, and they were already pretty darn great on the Spider II!

Its loud for a 15 watter ... sounds clean for a small amp even at rather high volume, very solidly built for any amp but extremely so for under 100 dollars, the effects sound right, like high quality stomp boxes rather than cheesy amp based effects .. like I found on my old Crate 15 watter, for instance, The custom made 8" speaker handles the sound very well this is simply a best of its class unit in every aspect of its being!

One complaint about the Spider III 15 is regarding what some folk consider misleading claims on the packaging description about the artist presets. True the settings are hard to find at the Line6 website but with a little searching there are a few pdf documents demonstrating a bunch of artist settings for a number of songs.... and the nobs are great fun to fiddle around with anyway, very responsive as well!

All in all I could not recommend this product highly enough, and I recommend this amp to anybody needing a high quality small amp at a very reasonable price ... Its the best of its kind I have ever used, and I have used, borrowed or owned a bunch of small amps over the last 30 or so years..

My next big amp will likely be a Line 6 product as well .. They really seem to have a knack for rethinking design and technology and use these innovations across the entirety of their product lines, plus on the low end they have a good sense of which bells and whistles to leave out and which to include for the highest quality sound, highest level of functionality and biggest bang for your buck!!
