The Line 6 Spider III 15 Guitar Combo Amplifier delivers detailed amp models based on some of the greatest guitar sounds ever created. To keep these sounds authentic, Line 6 kidnapped some of the world's most notorious rock stars to dial in each amp model, including 311, Thursday, Lacuna Coil, Hawthorne Heights, Slipknot, Ash, Albert Lee, Athlete, John 5, and many more! Now you can rule the stage using the Insane model with its truly massive gain or explore your sensitive side in the studio with the Clean model. It's all up to you.
Amp Models:
Clean: Red LED - Select this Amp Model and adjust the tone controls to get crisp, amazing clean sounds, great warm jazz tones, and all the high-end shimmer you'll need with a generous amount of bottom end.
Crunch: Red LED - This sound was crafted during Line 6's studies of the '68 Marshall Plexi 50 Watt*. This type of Marshall amp was used by a number of early metal bands. Crunch provides a wider range of tone control settings than the original Marshall amp had.
Metal: Red LED - This Amp Model is based on the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier*. Use this Amp Model to get a tight and punchy, high gain Metal sound.
Insane: Red LED - This model is Line 6's "dialed in for shredding" version based on the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier* red channel. It combines the intensity and impact of Metal Red, but delivers more midrange and teeth for that bone-crushing, brain-piercing insane grind.
Effects:
A great amp isn't the only part of a great guitar sound. With Smart Control FX, an exclusive Line 6 feature that automatically dials in different effect parameters, you spend more time playing and less time tweaking. Simply find the effect that you want, turn the knob to your desired intensity, and you're done. You can even use multiple effects at the same time if you wanna get really crazy.
Ins & Outs
When you're playing with your band onstage just drag the Spider III on and crank it up. When it comes time to record, use the headphone/direct out and plug it straight into the mixing board for world-class POD 2.0 direct tone used in pro studios and stages everywhere! You can also use the same out with headphones for practicing in your bedroom. Want to play along with your favorite songs? Plug into the CD/MP3 input and you're good to go.
Plug in and separate yourself from the posers.

Own a super little modeling amp that'll make jams and practice insanely fun. Order now!
I've had this amp for about 6 month now and feel it's awesome for the price. It's like having several foot pedals, headphone amp and practice amp with inputs for a cd player to play along with all rolled in to one quality built unit. Great practice amp that's very versitile, did I mention this little sucker is Loud! I'm really enjoying my little Spyder III amp.

Too digital of a sound, very hollow, with no soul.

My roommate has one of these Spider III's, and I've used it many times and hear it every day when we jam. The amp, especially for the price, has great features. These amps are popular with new guitarists, and for good reason. They can keep a new player entertained for months. Many different effect settings and programmable memory. Also, tap delay and echo controls, for cool sounding trick sounds. However, all of this soon grows bothersome as you get past all the glitz and realize that this amp is masquerading with the best of them. The actual Insane-setting distortion is far too thin and digital sounding to be anything than a bedroom practice amp. Turn up the volume, and it only gets thinner and more hollow. Also, the wiring is poor on these amps, and there are random electrical glitches. When rotating the volume knob, even at very low levels, sometimes the volume will shoot up to near maximum, and of course, ear-shattering feedback will follow. Overall, for the money, the value is phenomenal, however don't expect miracles. All of those "artist inspired tube-amp sounds" all sound the same; digital and indistinguishable.

This is a great amp i'v had it for about 4 months and its awesome. I love the Insane channel and if you can't get a clean sound when you switch channels the knobs are turned on even if they're all the way down so you have to turn the effects and echo knobs up and then down and there should be a clean sound. But anyways it is a great amp. I really recommend this amp.

Great Amp for the Money

I've had a Spider II 30 watt amp for a couple of years and really like it. Tons of good sounding volume for the money. I recently bought this Spider III 15 Watt model -- couldn't pass it up at the price. I don't think you can get more amp for the money. Many reviews reference presets, effects, etc. The amp really is very easy to use once you get used to it -- pick your amp style, adjust the effects (or eliminate them), dial in your tone, and play. If you hit on a sound that you want to be able to use again, save it to the preset. It's also easy to restore the original presets if you want to. I got this amp to use when fellow musicians or bandmembers come over to practice or jam. It sounds great, and the price was right. I love it.
