Line 6 Review: Spider 112

History:

Purchase: I bought this new from a local music store. I paid $425 for the amp, and I believe $65 for the 4 button foot switch.

What I Like About This Line 6 Spider 112: I was able to sell a few of the pedals I had. I really liked the fact that the amp has effects built in. With the 4 channels, you can set one for clean, one for distortion, and mix and match the effects you like on the other two. I was really surprised at how loud this amp gets. For only one speaker and 50w, I have never been able to get it above 4.

What I Do NOT Like About The Line 6 Spider 112: I don't think the clean tone is quite clean enough. I really don't have enough experience with different amps to say which would be better, but for my purposes, its good enough.

Line 6 Spider 112 Quality Rating: I like the look and color of the unit. As far as I can tell, its very well made. I have taken it to college with me for two years, stacked stuff on top of it, etc. and have had no problems.

Review Summary: I feel that this is a good quality amp for home use. I really don't think I would go out and gig with it, but I think I could if I needed to. I definately would recommend it!

Rating of this Line 6 product: 4
