Spider V MkII Series
From the compact Spider V 30 MkII practice amp to the full-featured gig monster that is the Spider V 240 MkII combo to the Spider V 240HC MkII head with built-in stereo speakers for standalone use—there’s a Spider model to inspire every type of player and at all skill levels. Each amp in the series delivers the same organic, natural, and authentic tones that can enthuse and encourage aspiring stars, and also hang tough on stage and in the studio. Homegrown players and small-combo guitarists can determine whether the Spider V 30 MkII, or Spider V 60 MkII amp works for their needs, while gigging guitarists can go with the expanded power and flexibility of the Spider V 120 MkII, Spider V 240 MkII, or Spider V 240HC MkII amps—especially when combined with the optional FBVTM 3 Foot Controller, which effectively adds a complete pedalboard. Plus, all the amps from the Spider V 60 MkII on up have built-in wireless receivers for use with optional Relay transmitters.
Spider V 20 MkII
There should be no such thing as “just” a practice amp, because inspiration should never be hampered by limitations or boring sounds. The Spider V 20 MkII amp delivers authentic and inspiring tones instantly, making it a perfect partner for running down licks, writing songs, and experimenting with cool guitar textures at home or on the road. There’s even a USB interface for recording. The easy-to-use tone and effects controls also make dialing in your own tones a breeze, and if you need something more to fully express your creativity, the free Spider V Remote app enables you to quickly access an abundance of additional sounds and tone-crafting tools. The Spider V 20 MkII is a great amp for practicing—whether you are a beginner or a pro—but it’s far more than a practice amp. Don’t settle. Own your tone!

Great
I am not experienced enough to to give a knowledgeable review but from what I have learned so far is that this seems to be a solid amp for beginners. It has way more options then I need at this point.

Never worked…
Purchased this amp supposedly new. I was traveling extensively when the amp arrived so sat in my music room for over a month. When I finally had the time to plug in, the amp did not work. It was past the “return window” so can’t return it. I actually did not think I would need to return it as it was supposed to be new. It looks new. It just does not work! Lol Oh well…$320 wasted but a lesson learned…don’t assume because it is new that it works. It gets a 1 rating because I cannot give it a BIG ZERO!

Ehhh… tone sucks
Only cool thing about this amp is the built in tuner and all the different variables you can change. HOWEVER, it is an absolute pain. I spent more time trying to find a tone that I liked rather than playing it. If you like spending countless hours finding a sound that you like then this is for you, I sent mine back and will not be purchasing another. Replaced this with a boss katana 50 mkii and it’s the best decision I’ve made.

Great Amp
I play almost everyday on this Line 6 amp and the software you have to download on the line 6 website provides a lot of presets that fits your sound playing needs or use the knobs for the pre-loaded presets. Very high quality. The line 6 software online takes a second to find if you are not tech savy but worth the stress.

Great quality practice amp, enough to play in your room
Good amp for a small model, lots of options and quality sound. Kinda wish I had gone one model up with the Spider V30, which has more features, but there are still plenty here and for a practice amp, it provides plenty of sound volume, quality tones, and different effects.

This amp sounds and works so much better than I expected,can sound like a stack of all 12-inch subs coming out of a pair of fours,simulators and emulators are outstanding and don’t get me started on the effects unreal Iand once you hook up the foot controller and the remote program on the laptop or your PC just takes it to a whole other level of easy to use

Big sound, little amp.
I fix guitars for a living and needed a second amp for my shop. I have a Spider 30 watt that I’ve used and abused in the shop for 12 years and it still works perfectly so I figured I’d go with a Line 6 again. I have to say I was surprised that that this little amp with its 8 inch speaker sounds as big as my 30 watt with a 12 inch speaker. A great bedroom or practice amp with more than enough effects settings to keep you busy for a long time.

Perfect Amp
I needed a combo amp with great sound, ease of use, little maintenance and some bells and whistles. I am happy I did not order the 120 because this 60 is louder than I could ever need and it is light weight enough to pop in the car and go jam at a friends house. Perfect amp for me.

Got way more than I expected in replacing the starter Peavey amp…
I’ve loved the idea of Line 6 products, especially around modeling, for 20 years, but never picked anything up.Now I regret it, retroactively…This amp is amazing. I’m a little sorry I didn’t go with the 60, but I have time to get good before justifying going bigger 😉

It also has a headphone jack which I love since i’m not comfortable right now with playing loud enough for people to hear.Right now I’m using the metal zone mt-2 pedal with it and the sound if fricking epic. if your on the fence then jump over. this is the amp for you

They tried too hard and messed up a good thing. Bad amp.
Not good. Was excited but I just started playing and all the presets are playing totally random tones and effects. I hooked it up the PC to create and load up the tones I want which are pretty much just the standard spider 3 tones but there are millions of tones and effects on the app and none of them are what i want. It’s just too much bs. I just wanna play and not have insane mode sound like I’m George Clinton despite reprogramming that setting 40 times and finding nothing but trash settings. Factory reset leaves you with totally random settings every time. I’ve used line 6 for decades, this is a huge disappointment.

Early Christmas gift
I just got back into playing guitar after a 5 year break. One of my old friends found out I quit playing and gifted me a guitar. It felt so good to actually have one on my hands again, but I still needed an amp for it. I had a Spider 4 back when I used to play, which was an awesome amp. So naturally I was interested in the new Spider 5’s. I didn’t have enough cash to buy the 30 Watt combo I wanted, but to my surprise and glee my Mom decided to get one for me as an early Christmas gift. Now I’ll talk about the amp. It’s actually surprisingly loud for a 30 Watt amp. There is also a free download from Spider that helps you find just about any time. In my opinion this series is better than the Spider ,4 in terms of tone and quality of simulated cabinets and effects. Literally any tone I’ve wanted to achieve, I’ve been able to get pretty close. It’s lighter than the Spider 4 series, but it improves on tone and is just as loud. For a beginner to advanced player this practice amp gives you all you need. My one concern is the ease of use. Since I had a Spider 4 first it was pretty intuitive to me, but a new user may experience a slight learning curve. Overall this is a high quality practice amp that has a lot of bang for your buck.

Looks great but ultimately a disappointment
Over the course of 17 years or so, I have owned maybe 10 Line6 amps ranging from the original spider series 15-30 amp models, half stacks, spider 75 jam amp, etc. This model looks spiffy and sounds pretty darn good with what’s available on the amp itself. Unfortunately, its selection of effects and amp models can only be accessed via ‘Spider remote’ app which does not work on my Win10 or android devices. Despite various wiki articles and cable, method, change outs. Also, FYI Line6 support articles and knowledge base on this issue is widespread yet solutions are scarce. I gave up and am selling it on OfferUp.
PC Head –
Happy Camper!
I got amp for the recording and PC control features it has. The amp is amazing like other Line 6 amps but being able to use the software to adjust your set-up is really cool. The downloadable free Cubase software and downloadable Asio driver for the spider amp alow it to become a recording hub. Recording your guitar directly to your PC, adding instruments, loops ,midi etc. in the program is why I bought it. Finding the driver and getting the Cubase is your typical rig-a-ma-roll to go through but It’s worth it to save a lot of money on recording software. It’ free. 30 watts is nice for home and jamming but you may want to go to a 60 watt with a rock drummer.

Great amp… if it works.
5 stars for customer service, but only 4 for the amp itself — The music zoo went above and beyond with this one as the first amp I received did not work at all and they shipped out a second no questions asked… the second came and also did not work so needless to say I was fairly upset. To my surprise they allowed a second exchange, also no questions asked! The third one actually works great. Plenty of power for practice and the features of this amp allow for some versatile play all by itself… just kinda wish the first one… or even the second one, worked new out of the box.

High Value High Performance
Best quality amp of its kind. High Value for what you get and feature rich. Built in tuner is nice and effects presets are nice. I live in a condo so this guy is nice with head phones on. Wish I could play it on 10 to see what it can do but I would get kicked out. I am very happy with my purchase. I quit playing when my son was born and sold all my rigs so I wanted something now that he is older and money isn’t a problem. I am using it with a Jackson JS22 and it sounds great.

Sweet amp that does a lot
I have an acoustic and electric Les Paul that I really just play for my own pleasure. Initially purchased the MK2 30 and loved it so much I bought a 2nd, albeit MK II 60.The 30 packs enough punch tho. I love the preset effects that are accessible from the knob.However you’re better off downloading the spider software to your computer and connecting a printer port cable to the back of the amp to your computer if you want to have quicker accessibility and changing to another effect.It also has built in metronome and drums loop. Definite recommend

Amp fine, software and update process not so much
Nice practice amp. Lots of presets and much improved sound vs previous models. Pretty light and amp itself is very easy to set up and use. But…. software is un-user friendly. It does what it’s supposed to but way too many steps and no real instructions. If you invest in one, Google the setup and update info from other users first. It will save you a lot of time.

Death, Taxes, Line 6 Brilliance
It may sound cliché or like a sales pitch, but it’s true, Line 6 made “practice” amps extinct long ago. With limited space in my new studio, I turned to an old friend, with some new wrinkles with a Spider 20 mkII. I’ve been playing professionally for many years and it quickly struck me that to get 1/100th of tones when I started out, would have weighed a metric ton & cost THOUSANDS. This little baby could be Mic’d up for practically any gig. Until Yamaha bought them, I was beginning to think Line 6 was run by aliens trickling down audio tools as we can handle them. I’ll admit to being one of the countless skeptics of “modeling” when Line 6 launched. A few years later my Fender Vibrolux with 2 cabs burnt on the road. Thankfully a kid there had a L6 and quickly tuned me in. I was so amazed, I bought it from him and have been using their gear ever since, with 0 disappointment.The only drawback was the small, hard, harder, hardest mini screen for selecting and editing tones on earlier Spiders.

Should have bought this years ago
Bought the 60w, it will be plenty for our usual backyard gang of 50. The variety of sounds both built-in and on-line is incredible. Will not need my effects pedals now but will add on the line 6 pedal. The interconnect with the app makes loading and tweaking new tones incredibly easy. Was thinking about getting a 12 string, won’t need it with the FX it has.

Spider V 30, great little practice amp
BACKGROUND (REVIEW BELOW): As people are often more interested in the views of people who share similar interest & taste,, I’ll start by saying that I’ve been playing for 30 years, I own a variety of guitars and amps. What I play most often is my American Fender Deluxe Strat through a Fender 4X10 Blues De’Ville tube amp, usually coupled with an Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer.. As many will know, with that setup, you can get as close as you need to,, to the tone of Jimi, Stevie, and many others. So why buy a new amp?The problem (again, as many will know) with the amp mentioned above is “weight” and “volume.” It is simply too heavy and too loud for daily jamming in the extra bedroom, or in the den, when I want to play along (fills and solos) with my stereo.. I bought that amp because I was a tone junkie. I love overdriven 6L6’s. But it’s simply too much amp for my needs.. Normal house living doesn’t allow for overdriving 6L6’s. Yet I can’t part with it. Once every six months, I’ll dust it off and get my fix.. Then it’s back to jamming through my practice amp under 90dB.REVIEW STARTS HERE: I chose the Spider V 30 based on several YouTube reviews. I wanted small, versatile, and inexpensive. I got ALL THREE with this amp, and am very happy with my purchase. At first, knowing the older Spider V 30’s came w/ 12″ speaker (because I bought one for my son 10 years ago (and he still loves it BTW)), I was hesitant. The new version has an 8″ speaker and tweeter horn arrangement. But I think I understand why LINE 6 chose to go this direction. The new V 30 is compact, PERIOD. They are getting 95% of the sound with half (?) the weight.. I confess to not know the actual values, but side by side with my son’s,, his amp is much heavier, but sounds very similar. It was worth it.. It’s amazingly compact.The older version has a dedicated knob for every tonal quality and effect level, which added to it’s required size and weight. The new version has half the knobs, shrinking the panel size requirement by nearly half. The new version has a button to toggle between tone and effects, which are LED backlit. It’s awesome. Every feature is one button press away, intuitive, and easy to see, even in low ight conditions..This, being a modelling amp, means that some very smart signal processing engineers over at LINE 6 matched the waveforms of the sounds of various popular amps and songs. So if you like the sound of the guitar on AC/DC Back in Black, you can go to that preset and be in the ballpark for amp and effect sounds. It will not be perfect, but surprisingly good. And once that preset is selected, you can EASILY adjust the tone are effect levels to tweak it. And you can EASILY save your adjustment. I say easily because I figured it out without even once touching the manual !! A big plus if you ask me.The only area that I think can be improved upon (and here, I may be wrong because I refuse to read the manual) is that the presets are not random access. If you know that a preset you like was around number 60 (there’s 128 presets to play with), and if you are currently on preset 4, you have to scroll through 56 presents to get to no. 60. I wish I could make jumps of 10. But again, there may be a way to save the ones you like to easy access location.. Or rearrange them per’se. I’m just to lazy to research it.ErrolNOLA

Best Practice Amp For The Money!
This is my third Line 6 Spider V amplifier! I own 2 Line 6 Spider V 20 models, and love them. Now I have this third amp that I love so much! I can’t wait to test out this amp with my new Jackson Dinky JS 12! The features of this amp are amazing! If you’re looking for an amp to use while practicing at home, or at a friend’s house, this is it. A friend of mine had a Line 6 Spider Jam amp that I played with years ago while an Ibanez guitar was plugged into it. The Spider V60 MKII is a huge upgrade from the Spider IV series! Best features of this amp are the looper where I can write riffs that come to mind, I can practice to drum loops, explore all the pre-sets, and amp cab models, and just to clarify, if yall want to practice along to backing tracks when using the aux port on the back of this amp, the audio from a phone or tablet, sounds amazing while either device is plugged into the back of the amp. So you won’t have to worry about listening to the muffled sound of audio that goes into your amp while practicing. You will hear the backing tracks loud and chrystal clear. This amp is nice and loud. I haven’t tested out the classic speaker mode feature, but will eventually. At first, the knob to change pre-sets is a bit tricky when accessing the drum loops, and metronomes, but this amp is worth a buy! Don’t hesitate! Buy this amp! 5 out of 5 stars and so glad I bought this amp. Glad I did not pass this up! Exceptional tones, heavy and crunchy high gain distortion tones, and nice beautiful clean tones! Get it!

This thing is a beast
The media could not be loaded.
First off you don’t need a guitar to customize or hear the preset tones because of the demo mode you can turn this on and hear what each tone sounds like which is nice because I don’t have to sit there and play something random to hear the preset second of all it has a drum machine so no need for a pedal with a drum machine this amp has so many features I played around with it for 2 hours without plugging in a guitar to the thing 3rd thing I noticed this right away it’s very light weight and looks sleek it produces good quality sound this amp is an all in one you can do anything with this amp this thing is a beast and offers the best bang for your buck I bought the 60watt version for testing purposes but rest assured I will get the 240watt because this 60 watt amp puts my line 6 spider 3 to shame and it’s got 2 12 inch speakers I’ve been using that for gigs for a few years and got a decent deal on it only thing I wish was that this amp came with a foot pedal like my spider 3 came with I would recommend this amp to anyone looking it’s affordable and arrived at my door quickly you can also download a remote app and adjust your amp settings from your phone and I do believe you can see other people’s tones and use those as well this amp isn’t difficult to use I figured alot of the bells and whistles out without reading the manual within minutes the preset tones are awesome there’s over 100 of them and multiple fx features and you can access everything with the touch of a button you can adjust amp settings with the knows and press a button that switches you over to a sound fx menu and adjust those with the knobs this is probably the most versatile amp I’ve ever owned it also has a metronome with multiple metronome sounds to fit all your needs the drum machine presets are pretty sweet to only complaint I have about that is you can’t adjust the speed just the volume but none the less still pretty dope I hope that those of you that buy this amp enjoy it as much as I am

Nice tones from dist. and clean
I’m really enjoying my Line 6 Spider 60 watt amp. I found a couple clean settings That I’ll need to memorize. The clean setting ( the first setting) gives you something warm on your rhythm toggle switch or your neck pick up. “boutique” is another clean setting I really liked. I found five or six distorted patches that were next to perfect. After watching a youtube video on a review . . .(by Dawsons ) I realized I could add more reverb to my patches. The reverb sounds good and the f/x setting next to the reverb knob dial (delay setting) is perfect for what I want to do with this amp.I’m thinking about buying the line 6 POD HD 500x – which cost $550 . . .but gives you the ability to change settings while on stage with a simple foot tap. Don’t get me wrong, the effects on the Spider are great . . .but I need to figure out how to switch effects with out walking to the amp and turning a knob . . . .This amp is great as a practice amp . . .and you could, probably, take it to a studio and get what you want. I’ve heard some negative critiques about using this amp in the studio . . .but I feel this amp (with it’s effects patches) can do the job and give you the tone you’re looking for. For the price, this effects system is a steal . . . .and I’ve been using Line 6 amplifiers for 20 years . . .and found the effects system on most of their amps was, generally, what I wanted. The Spider is way better than what I had 20 years ago . . . .and 60 watts is perfect for what I need, today. The Spider V 240 HC head is another way to go . . .but I still want that POD HD 500x. I need a good foot pedal . . .and after using the Boss gt6 (which is as old as dirt) I’m finding the line 6 line of products are what I want, today. I’ve heard horror stories about the Boss ME-80 . . . never tried it . .and I’m not sure about purchasing that model . . .but after buying the Spider . . .I’m sold on line 6 products . . .
