The best metal tone you can get from this is to put the tuber screamer in front of the 5150 and into the V30 speaker cab and make SURE to set up the built in EQ. Use some reverb and noise gate of course. It DOES sound damn good.

Finally a great video about Line 6. My band Devourment goes for the most extreme tones and the dry, harsh, insanely distorted sound is perfect for that, especially playing in very low tunings. I love warm tube amp sounds but that's just not what we're looking for in our music.

Always impressed by your videos, but this one could be considered a public service, given the misconceptions surrounding this amp. With the right settings, a proper cabinet and full access to the signal chain, the Spider V head is an excellent piece of hardware for a live mix and recording. Unlike previous models in the Spider series, this is far more - as you noted - like the Vetta II, though I would say that it also lacks in some areas such as dual tone signal chain options and certain mic simulations, but broadly speaking, it offers the same experience and some excellent high gain models with a fairly customisable signal chain. By the way, one can update this to Mark II with a simple firmware installation process available via Line 6’s website. It’ll give you some additional options, including the ability to switch off the FRFR mini speaker in the head that, for some people, makes for a far more preferable classic tone through the cabinet.

I'm not nuts about mine, its ok, but its just too quiet (I play in a loud-a$$ punk band). If you can find one get a Line 6 Flextone HD head man. I just got mine working last weekend, finally, 2 years after I bought it from Guitar Center. It worked like half a day after I got it home, and was already having that clicking speaker thing intermittently. Within a day or two after purchase I couldn't get it to work at all. Well, I gotta say, THANK YOU SO MUCH. it was your video, when you had the same problem with that Vetta, that made me decide to open it up and see if it was something simple. It was sorta, short to ground on the chassis lid. Just left the lid off and screwed the chassis back into the case, been working fine since. I turned it up to seven, for an instant, and immediately shut it off, it was so loud, lol. My ears literally rang for an hour (no more cranking that thing without earplugs). And that's with one cab, 150 watts. If you make it the full stack its pushing out 300. You'll never get buried in any live mix anywhere again. And the models are pretty good, imo, though I'd love to see you dial the high modern gain tones in. Thanks for another killer vid man.

I think the problem is primarily with the combos. I’m sure these sound great (as demonstrated) through a proper cab, but the combos come with these awful hi-fi speakers and tweeters with trash sensitivities. I tried a 60-watt 1x10 combo once and it seriously sounded like a Positive Grid modeler run through 20-dollar computer speakers - and wasn’t much louder. A Peavey Rage would have buried it alive. I’ve heard the option to turn off the tweeters helps, but I probably wouldn’t even attempt to use one of these if I didn’t have a head and solid cab combo. Great demo!

Yes They Do! From the Spider V Family manual. SPIDER V 240HC only: built-in 4-way full range speaker system that switches to high frequency mode when an external 4 x 12 speaker cabinet is connected. SPEAKER OUTS - Connect your external speaker(s) here. Your speaker cabinet(s) should support at least 100 watts @ 4 Ohms or 50 watts @ 8 Ohms minimum. SPIDER V 240HC will function without an external cabinet connected. In this mode the built-in 2-way stereo speaker system will reproduce full range stereo audio. Once an external cabinet is connected, the built-in speakers automatically re-configure to reproduce high frequencies only, while the external cabinet will provide low and mid range frequencies.

I am still playing on a Line 6 Spider III from like 2008: it's not just a "practice amp" but has been behind virtually all of my studio guitar when I'm not doing digital amp modeling on the PC. That amp does not reward a casual relationship, but it punches above its weight... IF you can figure out the dozen or so amps it's copying, and treat it as if it actually BECOMES that amp. Where are all the tonal "sweet spots" on a Line 6 modeling amp? That's a trick question. The models go so far as to capture and reproduce the idiosyncratic contours of the original amps in question--ALL of which are different from each other, and will play differently with your effects. No one should be surprised that working with a Vox AC-30, a 1965 Fender Twin Reverb, a '68 Marshall like Hendrix, and the Mesa Dual Rectifier requires a whole different understanding of how they shape your tone. The Dual Rectifier is like a Mesa Boogie with what I consider overpowered bottom end. If you dial in the most perfect clean tones ever played and then switch amps mid-song for that solo boost, all your settings are in the wrong place and what comes out is nothing but mud. That's not a function of the amp's failure. It's a function of players who don't RTFM when they get the amp, never bother to understand how all the EQ curves controlled by the knobs can differ radically from one amp model to the next. I think after 15 years, I mainly share this amp with people who don't really shape their sound carefully, turn the modeling knob up to the "Insane" setting, and are disappointed with what they get. You can get really great quality out of it if you take the time to develop a working relationship with it, master 2 or 3 of its best models (ignore "insane"; the lightest Crunch setting is more than enough for any metal player with the right rig), and remember that the red Clean tone is the only model included where the knobs work exactly as labeled. Everything else requires a little more time spent exploring it to arrive at the tone you want. I feel this is a thing virtually no one who owns one of these amps actually does, so their tone falls short of what it could be. The phrase "it's a poor workman who blames his tools" is strong in Line 6 world. But I feel the worst haters of this amp are the kind of people who would one-star a supposedly fast $400,000 Lamborghini, while the fans just recognize that they're driving an car with a manual transmission.

this amp sounds amazing if you dial it, but im not sure i would trust it lasting for a tour or some... maybe 4 5 backup amps would be the solution, but yea it might last as well.

Friend of mine has had the spyder iv in his jam building for 10 years. He only turns the ac on when we jam so it has sat for years in and out of humidity, had beer spilled on it several times, cranks it to the max and it still jams. On the other hand, my hughes and kettner black spirit 200 failed me within the first 9 months of owning it, had another sent only to have it quit working at the 2 year mark. My friend paid $150 for line six head and 4x12 cab used, I paid 1k new for the black spirit. Never again.

The amps are not that bad. The hate comes from the countless KZbin videos of amateur guitarists that have no self control on amp settings and don't bother to shape a tone except turn everything to 10. And by default the amp is guilty by association. Give a noob a krankenstein and they'll find a way to sound like shit.

Lol True. I remember the time i dialed a decent modern metal type tone on a spider 2 in a rehearsal studio with a simple T.scream 808 + tight noise gate + "metal" channel and the other bands waiting outside are like "what sorcery is this??!". The secret to perfect high gain settings is pretty simple and that is to not go crazy on the gain knob. Misha and Ola said it themselves.

The biggest downfall was it wasn't loud enough to get over drums and another guitar player, so I would have to dime out the volume just to barely hear myself, I only had it for about a month before I took it back and got my Peavey.

​@@jamdalf4343 no I had spider III HD150 head hooked up to a 4x12 cab and I'm sorry, not loud at all bro. I know, not the same amp but the whole spyder series left a horrible impression on me to the point that I never looked at another line 6 amp from that day forward. It sounds like people either love it or hate it, I find myself in the latter.

​@@lydiagraham2188 That Amp rates an average of like 4/5 stars from about a dozen websites I just checked. It was obviously defective and you should have returned it for a new one while it was still under warranty or you had it hooked up to like 16ohm cab(s) and thus operating at like only half the volume it's capable of.

@@lydiagraham2188 There was something wrong with your amp. I had that exact setup and I had jammed with 2 drummers and 3 guitarist at the same time and I wasn't even at half volume. If it was in the house I had to keep it at like 10%. It would have blown the windows out turned all the way up. Sounds like there was some kind of volume limit setting on with it.

Not as good as my tube amps, but solid state and modelers/etc have come a LONG way. Nice vid as always, dude. No clue why you don't get a million hits per vid. These are waaaayyyyyy better than some of the more common/popular ones.

I actually had a 5150 EVH 900$ tube combo, I mainly play 8 string but occasionally my 6. I ended up trading it in for a brand new spider 5 240 mkii, the spider knocks it out of the park. Granted the 5150 was a combo and a 1 x 12 and the spider is a 2 x 12 but the main difference is now I have direct out, Bluetooth, an absolutely INSANE amount of customization and tones to scroll through, built in looper that's not too bad, etc etc . If I had a specific tone I was looking for I'd say get a half stack with a head that can properly produce that tone but for people who don't want a bunch of pedals to hook up or an entire cab, head and pedals to tote around this is a killer substitute. I've had many half stacks, many old tube amps, other modeling combos like the katana and such and this thing kills them all. Only way I'd consider transferring is if I was putting some high end money into a high end stack set up with a high gain tube head and a mesa can or something of the like. Otherwise the spider wins

AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Don't do videos like this! People have been letting the cat out of the bag with older Peavey amps more and more and now the prices are way over what they should be. Granted Line 6 has quite a negative legacy but with just the enough videos like this you will see the prices skyrocket on them.

Even Ola put out an excellent video of the Spider V MK I many years back. He plugged it in directly to his interface so that he wouldn’t be reliant on the FR speaker setup and got some amazing tones that can be downloaded through Line 6’s Spider V app.
I’ve waited 20 years to buy this amp..
