Modeling + pre-amp and tube amp - 40W
connection noon RJ45 FBV (bracket), effects loop, line out for a sound recovery in such ...
Everything is adjustable

UTILIZATION

Easy for those who are comfortable with the smartphone-type configuration menus, ie comfortable with the "modern electronic" products.
The manual can be indigestible if you do not mind that, but if you understand the structure of the amp, effects ... the intuitive mode quickly becomes a game.
In the end like all Line6 products, we spend some time looking for the "Holy Grail" of his "son" or sounds, then we sauvergarde a user preset and off you go for fun.
I have the chance to compare the sound of the spider valve with a Vox AC30, Vox Night Train, a Blackstar HT20, Fender Twin Reverb and my verdict is that the line6 can do everything from clean and sparkling clean to the saturation metalheads frenzied, I am totally committed to the cause !!!
I have not compared to the Mesa boogie, orange ... so I do not put 10/10

SOUNDS

is perfect for use with eclectic repertoire rock like the Beatles cleans saturations ZZtop kind.
I personally have 4 presets and therefore four foot switches to recall a switch for solo boost, and possibly the ability to add or remove all effects on the pedal for this purpose. Simple effective

OVERALL OPINION

User since 4 years in repeats and on stage, retubé once and always satisfied with this Swiss Army Knife. Only fault but it is the nature of these amps, weight combo with 2HP lamps because it weighs a dead donkey:-(
I have the opportunity to try many other amp and I confirm that all the others (those mentioned above) are good, but require the pedals to cover a wider spectrum of sounds and therefore always more expensive budget.
This spider valve with the signing Bogner offers all in "one package".
It is therefore produces a very good opportunity for choice in who wants to be open all musical fields.

I'll keep a long time and I tell myself that I should have started with this one.
