Members Torkelboy Posted February 26, 2008 Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hey there! The guitarist of my band currently plays an 'Line6 spider II head' with the "412 spider cab" He is thinking of bying the 'spider valve head' Now to the question:What do you guys think about matching the 'Line6 SV head' with the 'spider cab'? The 'SV head' is recommended to be used along with the 'line6 412vs' cab. what i'd like to know is if the ohm's and Watts will get all messed up due to this combination!?!?! Thanks!/greetz from sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gitard Posted February 26, 2008 Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 the spider valve is ohm switchable from 4, 8 or 16 ohms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Facejackets Posted February 26, 2008 Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 If he is dead set on having everything match, tell him to get the SV cab. It is loaded with Vintage 30's, and sounds pretty damn good. But if he doesn't care about matching, tell him to get a Basson 4x12. They are about $600 USD and amazing cabs.

Members Torkelboy Posted February 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 He is not dead set on having everything match! But in short terms; will this combination work well? Or is the SV head together with the spider cab a bad combination!? What will he lose, in terms of volume, sound, versatility? I hope you guys see my point here! And darn those were fast replies ;S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the_bleeding Posted February 26, 2008 Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 the combination will work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Facejackets Posted February 26, 2008 Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 The Spider cabs are {censored}. Pure {censored} dude. He will lose a ton of tone by using that cab. Yes, he COULD use the same cab with the SV head...But why spend $800 on something and have it sound like {censored} cause the cab sucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members K-Bizzle Posted February 26, 2008 Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 Just have him pick up a different cab locally or something. Lots of cabs have V30s and the SV head can match any cab 100watt or higher. I like the sound of my SV through my Marshall 1960 better than the SV Cab. Though thats a matter of taste. And he CAN physically use that cab yes. But it won't sound anywhere near as good as it would through a better cab. Which kind of defeats the point of upgrading doesn't it?
