Editorial Reviews:

Spider III delivers detailed amp models based on some of the greatest guitar sounds ever created. To keep these sounds authentic, Line 6 kidnapped some of Line 6's favorite artists to dial in each amp model. Now you can rule the stage with the Insane model with its truly massive gain or explore your sensitive side in the studio with the Clean model. It's all up to you.

Summary: Could easily be 5 stars
Comment: I've owned this combo amp for more than a year and have enjoyed it a lot. It is truly one of the most versatile pieces of musical equipment I own with almost endless possibilities. The Celestion speaker in this amp is clean as well as handling some serious volume for a practice amp. The 75w doesn't quite have enough juice for small clubs or loud band practices, but it's a song writer's or studio musician's best friend. The next level up is the 120w 2x12 version which has stereo effects but no other massive sound characteristic differences, so I went with the 75w. To get the full functionality of this amp you HAVE to buy the Line 6 pedal boards. I bought the FBV Express so I could changes sounds during a song.
Pros:
1.) For the price, this is one of the best values out there for combo amps. It's in the price range of a Crate or Fender, sounds A LOT better, and saves you money on stomp boxes. You could spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on pedals to get all the effects this amp has.
2.) The preset sounds in this amp are far ranging and for the most part do a fair job of imitating the song/artist it says it is. It has models ranging from Albert Lee to Cradle of Filth.
3.) Fairly light weight, rugged and durable. I haven't had any problems with this amp breaking down, but then I'm not a gigging musician either.
Cons:
1.) The manual stinks. There is a little information hidden amongst a lot of marketing BS. If you read it slowly maybe two times, you'll find the actual technical information for the proper usuage of all of its features.
2.) The interface for this amp is pretty advanced due to all of it's features and may confuse young or novice players. I'm a network technician with a degree in programming, as well as having been a musician for 15+ years, and this thing had me scratching my head for days.
3.) The presets aren't laid out in a very logical way, and some of them are kinda lame or from bands/artists I've NEVER heard of. I understand Line 6 has to pay somebody every time they use their name or the name of one of their songs, so I guess some of the one's they used are artists with licensing deals or something.
Bottom Line:
AWESOME amp for the price! I can't give it 5 stars because of some very small but very important details that a big company like Line 6 shouldn't shouldn't over look.

Summary: Excelente sonido y Muchos efectos
Comment: Este amplificador es todo lo que esperaba de el, tiene una calidad de sonido muy buena, asi como una potencia increible para ser de 75 watts. De hecho cuando me propuse probar la potencia en volumen 7 tuve que bajar el volumen inmediatamente porque a mi papa le di un susto increible jejeje.
Tambien trae unos 400 efectos distintos que le dan mucha versatibilidad, asi que si buscan algo bueno bonito y barato, no busquen mas!

Summary: Great mid-sized amp!
Comment: My regular amp is a Mesa-Boogie F-50 (those who know...will know this amp), and I love it. My problem was however that I wanted something lighter to move around than that big heavy tube amp Mesa, and the ability to play in a smaller room without making my ears bleed. This amp filled that bill!!!
Pros: It has a load of presets which are great to get that certain sound you want without a lot of hassle, or use of effects pedals. It has enough power that you will not want to crank it to the max.
Cons: No dust cover, and no pedal supplied from Line6 with this amp. Also it only has a 1 year warranty.
Overall: This is a great amp for the beginner player or mid-level player such as myslef.

Summary: As if you needed anymore reason to buy???
Comment: This amp is really fantastic. When i was looking for an amp to buy, i wasn't looking for anything too crazy, i just needed something that had a good sound, and some degree of dynamics or versitility without spending too much. Having said that, i feel like i should have paid a lot more! It has excellent tone, incredible functionality (head phone/line-out, CD/MP3 jack, built-in tuner), its loud, its customizable, and it has enough presets to make your head spin. Everything from Slipknot to 50s style guitar sounds are in this amp the moment you take it out of the box.
I havent had too much chance to play with setting up my own personal presets, but i have done a couple. I think there is something like 9 user customizable banks, with 4 channels for each... 36 user presets in total. It's just so much fun to play with! If you get this amp (or really any Line 6 Spider III amp) i would recommend getting a foot controller, i know im planning on getting the FBV-Express (i think thats what its called).
The only thing i think someone would fine undesirable about this amp would be the "Smart FX Control". To someone who is used to having individual pedals/effects for things like Delay, Chorus, Flanger, etc... you might find yourself wanting a bit more control. Personally, it doesnt bother me. But if thats the case for you, at the VERY least the 12 amp models will still provide a great array of different tones to start with.

Summary: Incredible Versatility
Comment: I am also new to the Electric Guitar and also have been playing an Acoustic (Martin D-28 Marquis) for the last couple of years and agree that this amp is incredible. I wanted to get into electric because of the versatility of the sound (Electrics are also easier to play). This amp gives you that ability with the touch of a button. You have to play around with it to get to the settings you want. I still have not figured all of the options out. The directions on where or how to get to a specific setting are lacking/non-existent.
I brought a friend over that has been playing Electric for over 25 years and the amp blew him away, so want can a novice such as myself say about it but Great! He has several amps for different sounds and uses all kinds of foot pedal controls to get his "Presets" for his amps. These are built right into this amp.
I went to the "Guitar Center" to buy my "Gibson", "Vintage Mahogany" "Les Paul Studio" guitar and was going to purchase a Marshall Guitar stack amp but was redirected by the sales guy to this Line 6 amp. The amp was over a hundred dollars cheaper than the Marshall and does all of these things at the push of a button. The amp was made for me or anyone else who would rather play their guitar and not sit around for hours figuring out dials to turn to get a particular sound.
