GAK DEMO : Line 6 Spider V 30 Guitar Amplifier with variax guitar

[@anongrey]

The best demo of this amp yet. Probably because he knows how to dial in good tones. It is fantastic for what it is.

[@junkboxhero4825]

I've had a Line 6 Spider HD100 for over 10 years now. No pedals needed, ever. You just plug in and play all day. You don't need a room full of different heads, cabinets, mics, and pedals with Line 6, all you need is your favorite guitar, or 20 favorite guitars, lol. Every guitar player friend of mine who's played it has gone out and bought one or wants one. I'm buying this so I can have a small amp in my office instead of pushing a giant stack from room to room. I've been playing since 1992 and I've owned every type of amp, from 1960s Marshall Plexis, to the 5150 head and combo, every type of Peavey head from the 1970s (I still love my Peavey Standard head with a distortion pedal), a bunch of Fenders and a gaggle of Crates (the Blue Voodoo head with the handwritten script was amazing!!) but no amp touches my Line 6. I found this Line 6 Spider V 30 on Amazon for $219 with free shipping/returns...how can you go wrong? A full studio full of tones for under $220? Sign me up!!

[@MrSake1000]

I still love my original POD 2.0

[@kingstumble]

Excellent demo.Unlike the other poster I didn't think it was fizzy at all. A perfectly good alternative to the Katana.

[@quit293]

kingstumble it's great amp if you know how to dial in right tone.

[@greggriffiths9053]

I picked up one today good to see a preview of what the amp has to give looking forward to trying it out myself

[@MichaelDBauer]

Great demo. Saw one of these today at Guitar Center. Needed to see more, so here I am. Not disappointed.

[@BigyetiTechnologies]

I got this at Christmas and there are so many options and settings. I've spent hours going through them and I've only touched a fraction of what's available.

[@PaulCapps]

Best practice amp I have ever owed.

[@Muzicman-ut3jr]

Dude is a pretty damn good guitarist!

[@cole4700]

Dude .... you are such a fantastic guitar player. You make this amp sound like the best thing ever and I am going to buy one but it’s all because of your demo! Thanks dude! Excellent chops!

[@greggriffiths9053]

I got the MK 2 Line 6 a few years ago you really don't need a lot of pedals with the amount of sound settings in it it's a great AMP with plenty to keep you going with different types of music genres for everyone.

[@enigmalex3649]

You can turn off the TAP button light. Just hold the Home button a couple of seconds and you can choose if you want to turn it off or on.

[@spandanmusser]

These amps are so fun, I love it

[@johanblume2621]

Great demo...it's a shame people blast it based on misconception : Line 6 didn't develop this as an onstage metal/rock machine. It's made primarily for practicing and the built in drums/metronome are ideal. I've got n Axe/FX, Line 6 Helix, and an old Digitech GSP1101... this little amp is awesome for it's purpose!

[@nashy8496]

awesome for it's purpose! why the apostrophe in _its_ ?

[@chrishelmly6682]

Awesomeness brother you are rocking! Gonna pick one of these babies up. Great review!

[@ShadowRifft]

Geez, I'm shocked most reviews have very little actual Effects Demo'd .. I'm not even looking for a pristine sounding Amp, just good budget n features, this kicks Ass and I'm getting one! (240W 2x12)👀, thanks Man👍

[@henryr.schrader7520]

Money is better spent on a katana head

[@G33MAN65]

Just bought one cant wait to get it. Cheers

[@jemman1484]

Amazing review !!! Thankss

[@danielpecheny]

Excellent demo

[@robertoetojo5861]

MATE YOU ARE AS GOOD AS RITCHIE BLACKMORE AMAZING SCALES.. THANK YOU MATE.

[@tucko11]

Worst thing about this amp is the power off button on the backside . And the fact you have to elevate it , to play with the dial knobs , to get your favorite tone setting …. But it works great !

[@tommyfogarty]

Fender and Line 6 like to use clever titles for their patches. For instance, Fender has a patch called "Pasadena Phaser" which is (surprise, surprise) an early Edward Van Halen guitar sound. I am guessing "Arachnid Rhythm" is a nod to the sound of Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" recording. The tone is unmistakable.

[@JohnRidersoldoutforjesus]

If you get it, you better get the 60 and above. If you can afford it you want the 120. But the 60 is good if you don't want to spend that. You can hook the 60 to an app on an android tablet that will make it a lot easier to function. With a lot, you can do with it. And the wireless adapter is great for someone who plays a lot and does not want to mess with all the cords everywhere when at home. Just turn it on, grab your guitar and jam. Rock on!!!

[@matmurphy5558]

My v30 has it too

[@chrisdidonna7371]

Nothing beats the 120 you got for free because lime 6 sent u a broken 60w. Refunded and aent the 120

[@grayblackwood6741]

great video! thanks!!

[@welhim21]

i don't know why some people call that as a suck amp compare to katana or vypyr. is there something's wrong with your ears? Line Spider V >Katana and vypyr

[@totalbuzzkill]

No... do you even have ear's? It sound's garbage.

[@StefanoMei]

Great review, i need it! Btw monster guitarist!

[@richrinehart1083]

Ok..... I am getting back into playing after a 20 year hiatus. I learned on and always played a 12 string acoustic but always wanted to play an electric. I found an old First Act at a garage sale for $50 (it came with a volkswagon car and it would play thru the stereo of the particular model so it has VW inlaid in the neck and the knobs have VW on them and the VIN number of the car it was sold with engraved on a plate on the back of the headstock. I have been messing around with it on a POS Silvertone cube. Sounds horrible with a hum included! So I just picked up an Epiphone Les Paul standard. Beautiful black fiddle that I refuse to even plug into that little POS amp I got with the First Act. So I have been trying to pick an amp and learn about the world that is the electric guitar. When you start down the beaten path and begin to put 2 and 2 together on what is available and the endless amount of add on's, it gets to be almost more than one person can absorb. I really like this amp and at this point I am still training my ear on the subtle changes that can be made to tweak the sound. I will probably never use 75% of the amps capabilities until I get a couple thousand hours under my belt. I am really trying to stay positive and trying to learn things one at a time. There is so much information out there that it gets a little overwhelming at times. I just hope that I could be 1/2 as good as the guy doing this demo because WOW! Great video. I read all these negative comments that guys put out there about all the different amps that are available but to a total suck ass newbie that is just starting out and really really sucks on the electric guitar this amp gives me more options to show how bad I really am. LOL I am going to Guitar Center and see if they have them and the cost at the overpriced store that Guitar Center is. I might just order online. Wish my sorry ass luck At 51 years old I am gonna need it!!! The best part is I get to torture my wife because I cant sing either! Peace!

[@matmurphy5558]

I just found this model at guitar center 2 days ago. A new one was $220,but I got the open box floor model for $119 and it looks brand new. It has a ton of sounds for the price and sounds great to me. It also has the potential to plug into your phone or pc to update or record with. If you havent already you should totally pick one up. Good luck

[@marioroberto5757]

I want to buy practice amp w/ budget 200$, im really confused which one to buy, Blackstar ID core 40 v2 or Line 6 Spider V 30 ? Can you guys give your opinion please 😁

[@quit293]

Line 6 30 sucks don't get. It has all these presets all sound like playing thru potatoe. Save your money get a desktop yamaha.

[@highpineapple]

☝️ I wouldn't listen to him under any circumstances. You go for the sound that YOU can appreciate. I personally think he's full of shit in saying that this amp doesn't sound good. Probably something wrong with his ears. But alas, I'm two years late.

[@chrishorton615]

How is this amp as an acoustic amp?

[@wolfgang-n5t]

I have a spider since a couple of days and till now I have spend more tme to find a manual how to use the "Spider Remote App". I want to download Presets which I have purchased and I also want to backup presets - so far I could not find anything helpfull in this matter - ANY HELP OUT THERE ???

[@mantracker-gx1bj]

Who is this guy , and why isn’t he famous?!!

[@ymelfilm]

d acoustic sim sounds very good

[@theheavypoprock]

I really like your sound so great

[@greenlight758]

This was a good beginner's amp but died after two years with no reason. I checked the forums and apparently getting a blue screen is a common problem and there is no hard reset option.

[@dirtyworks8084]

Low cost simple button for dirty and clean and blue-tooth capability and they would have nailed it.

[@eduardoprieto5267]

Shredder guy slow down or your fingers will fly off your hand. Thanks, quite enjoyable. God bless all.

[@amusedearthling5999]

My only complaint is that they didn't include VDI support, I guess they didn't plan on Variax owners wanting/using this amp?

[@CAJUNVOODOO666]

Is there anyway to change the name to something you make? so you know what one you made your own style?

[@greggriffiths9053]

Hey mate does the spider 5 have band presets like the spider 4 eg Metallica Green Day pink Floyd or did they change everything hope they didn't it would be a back step

[@12345678927164]

I can’t even get mine to work. It’s stuck on the line6 screen. Wow.

[@darceyreid4235]

what amp did you use to find arachnid rythem? i keep scrolling and cant find it

[@jamdalf4343]

Hes using a MK1 not a MK2. MK2s (probably what you have) have newer presets and Classic mode. MK1s firmware can be updated to MK2 and also have the new presets and Classic mode, 8)

[@highpineapple]

​@@jamdalf4343 Just purchased me an MKII a couple of hours ago. Very pumped to get this in a few days.

[@morganbucks8423]

Great Playin'

[@gost4995]

I'm torn between this or the Katana 50.

[@antonioxcecutor2158]

Amazing! What do you think about the reverb?

[@jamdalf4343]

This would sound better if they had miked the tweeter speaker better, it's muffled sounding because they're double miking only the 8" woofer speaker.

[@phildale8451]

You should of had a shot of a katana in there and at the end declared it's a spider. Awesome sound.

I have a question is there a way to record the drum tracks that are on line 6 v 30? I tried the usb to daw but the daw only records guitar when i jamm with drum tracks.

[@davidburtonmorris8815]

watching this the V 30 has much better presets that the MK11

Does it have a switchable noise gate ?

No clean tones?

[@DougMen1]

It sounds very nasal and compressed to me, like a really cheap practice amp with a really cheap speaker. When I tried it I was hoping for good sounds, because it has a very cool interface, but I found it to have the same lackluster cheap fake sounds as the previous generation of Spider amps.
