Line 6 Spider III 120 Guitar Amp
November 19th, 2006
Line 6 has released the 3rd incarnation of their very popular modeling amp The Spider. I currently own the Spider II 120 and have been very happy with it. It is an awesome practice amp that can really make some noise. It gives you the freedom to play all different styles without needing too many pedals. So long as you don’t have anything against digital amps, then the Spider line are a great buy.
The Spider III improves upon it’s predecessor in many ways. Probably its most attractive feature is the built in 250 artist and song presets. The song presets include many popular tunes like No More Tears, Sweet Child o’ Mine, Highway to Hell, Hey Joe, and hundreds more. At the press of a button you can have the same sound as your favorite song. Although the presets might not be 100% true, they are close enough for you to have a lot of fun.
Like the Spider II the amp comes with 12 custom amp models ranging from clean to high gain (insane), 7 built in effects, and a built in digital tuner. New to the Spider III is a CD/MP3 input. This lets you play music through your amp so you can jam along with it. The Spider II only had 4 programmable channels, but with Line 6’s new creation you have 32 different customizable presets at your command.
The Spider III 120 houses two 10″ custom Celestion speakers inside its case. This is plenty of power for any jam session. As I said above the Spider II has made me very happy and it looks like Line 6 has only improved on an already quality product.
