Members fourthave_cafe Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 I'm looking to upgrade my starter amp, and my teacher recommended the spider. So far I have heard mixed things about it, some like it some don't. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what style of music and how much do you have to spend so where we can see where we are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pretaanluxis Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 I'd save up for a HD147 if you really want to go that route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members funkywrench Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 I have a mate that has a spider head and cab and they are pretty uninspiring. They are decent but i'm sure there is much better out there for that price. As a side note, he can't seem to sell the thing now, he's been trying for a few months!

Members Pwn3d Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 I read the other post. I think I know where I can get you a good price on a Mesa Mark III red stripe Combo if you want it. ( the guy might or might not sell it) PM me if you are really interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HypnoToad Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Originally posted by Pwn3d Yep. With L6 stuff you get versatility with suffering a little tone loss.

Members Kevman Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 I have one of those. Like it. The higher gain models actually sound pretty damn close to tube if you back the gain knob down to 2 or 3. After that they get a little sizzly but sometimes i like that. Clean tones are good..not great..but better than many of the SS combos out there and as good as or better than the MArshall dsl stuff I've played. If you want to gig with it though it will require a pretty big chunk -o-$ forr the shortboard controller though a new controller (not sure of the name) can be had for $100. The new one will only let you change between the 4 amp bound presets the shortboard will get you a total 36 presets. Still looking for a Butcher or VTM just because.

Members fourthave_cafe Posted January 31, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Thanks for all the replies I really liked the clips, I will go play the amp at GC on Friday hopefully. Hey, it sounds much better than my 15w Fender starter haha. If I like the Spider, maybe I should go for it. Guess I will find out when I play.The only concern is with gigs. Will the sound break up at high volumes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the sound break up at high volumes? I personally like it better when cranked. Cleans are clean and sparkly when cranked and and sounds nice.
