Sweetwater Advice

Brian Cravens
$99 gets a lot more amp than it did ten, 20, or even 30 years ago. The Line 6 Spider IV 15 is really a great little backstage rehearsal tool as well as an amp beginners can afford.

Line 6 Spider IV 15

As a hobby guitarist, and full time student, Deputy Jailor. The Spider IV was ideal for me. I have enough effects where I can make a few minor adjustments and get to playing without having to waste a lot of time trying to sort through all the the available effects on the market.

I would strongly recommend this amp to everyone.

Great little amp

This is a great little amp - for $100 dollars, you can't beat it! Love the modeling and effects. Was non-plussed with the built-in tuner - it isn't very user friendly, but overall, this is a great little amp for playing anything from the Beach Boys to Judas Priest! Plenty of punch for practicing and for in the house. Would probably work great for small venues. I would definitely recommend this amp.

Spider IV 15

Bought this amp specifically for goofing off in my music room with. And was totally blown away by it. The four presets it comes with are all great except for the clean channel. It's easy to make and store your own tone. Not to mention when I got mine they were running a free pedal with amp purchase. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

A star amp for the price

Ok, first things first, I'm a beginner, so this review is from that perspective. In the UK this amp is around £80, for that price, I wasn't expecting much, maybe a step up from a bundled amp from a beginners guitar 'package'. I did plenty of research, watched YouTube vids and read reviews. The vast majority were positive, but with the comment that this was an amp for rockers and metal players, rather than blues, etc.

For me, as a beginner, this amp fits the bill nicely. The quality seems fine, buttons are responsive and the various knobs are smooth and without interference. The amp has a good 'feel' to it; not too heavy, but not to lightweight either.

The amp produces great sounds from its four channels, crunch and metal are very good, insane is good fun, but not really usable (unless you're into thrash, then it's probably fine). The clean channel is, well, clean; not much more to add to that really.

The six effects are novel, I might use them more effectively as I learn to play different styles, but they sound good and give this amp a whole new dimension, especially with the different channels.

So, a step up from a bundled amp? Well, the price may be, but the features and the quality I don't see how anyone would want anything else to jam to, unless your room is so huge that you need something more powerful, but I haven't dared take the volume past 50% yet...!

All in all, a great amp at a great price!

Pretty Darn Good

I was truly amazed how well this little amp works in my studio. I have also used it in an auditorium along side 2 other guitarists who had much larger amps. they couln't believe how well it kept up.

A great buy...

I only wish I would've had one of these babies back in the 1980's, you could have NEVER found anything this good for $100. 2 thumbs up. If your into Hard Rock & Metal....Look no further.

My first amp ever. Did a fair amount of web research.Also shopped Craig's list and both new and used at stores. Absolutely by far the most and best small practice amp for the money. Since I'm new to playing wired, I haven't yet explored all of its' capabilities. I suspect my rating will go up when I do.

Line 6 Spider IV 15

Should go well with the Hard Rock & Heavy Metal crowd. Don't know if
it would be a 'fit' for the styles of Chet Adkins or George Benson. A demonstration in that genre would make for a much more accurate
analysis.
