Hello everyone! Mr. Hand would like to let you all know that starting in January 2012 we are taking a break from performing. We have no definite plans for how long or how short this break will be. Only that after 16 years of playing without any extended breaks, we sure could use it, and need a nice break.

New Line 6 Spider IV amp coming out

Posted By Bret on September 17th, 2009

Line 6 Spider IVI watched an interesting UStream video from Line 6 today announcing their new Spider IV amp. They went over the specs and updates from previous models of the Spider amps. Sounds like it could be a kickin little amp!

Those of you that know me know that I use a Line 6 POD X3 Pro in my rig to help me get the variety of sounds I need when we play. So, I’m always curious to see new products and developments from Line 6.

One of the early complaints of Line 6 products was that they couldn’t emulate the feel of the tube amps they were simulating. But as with most technology-based products, subsequent versions of the product improve on their limitations. So far this appears to be the case with Line 6. I know that I’ve been pretty happy with the sounds that I’m able to get out of my POD X3 Pro.

I’m definitely very curious to try out one of these new Spiders. They look like they could be good practice amps as well as good gigging amps. And if they’re anything close to the hype, this amp might be a big seller for those players who are just starting out, weekend warriors (like me), all the way up to pro players.

Have you played one? What do you think?
