Line 6 Spider IV 75

Line 6’s latest amp sees the incredibly popular Spider model revamped. Mike Hillier finds his way through the web.

Price: £275.00
Manufacturer: Line 6
Website: http://www.line6.com



Once upon a time, it used to be the case that when you purchased an amp you were – to a certain extent at least – making a statement about the kind of sounds you wanted to make, with even the most flexible of amps providing only a limited range of tonal options. As amp technology evolved, however, the flexibility increased a little, but you still needed a Vox if you wanted to reproduce that classic Beatles rock’n’roll sound, a Fender Twin for gritty blues or a Marshall for that early 70s metal scream.

Score: 8
