Advantages: Some effects to play around with the sound.

Disadvantages: Poor quality sound for such a high price.

Well I own a small 15W spider practice amp and was told that the bigger models are far better in their quality. So I went to my local guitar store to demo this one.

The tones in this amp are a fuller and don't seem so bland as they did in the smaller amp I own.

I still feel though that Line 6 have not come out with an amp that is capable within itself to truly model other amps. The sound seems cheap and too electronic and the effects are pretty poor. While having an amp with all these effects built in is great in practise the Spider III just doesn't pull this off for me.

For the kind of money you can spend on this amp, you would be much better off trying to find something like a used Orange tube amp. Or any decent amp and then if you wanted to add decent effects then use Line 6's pod. Not one of their do it all amps.

Summary: Wouldn't reccomend it.
