Originally posted by SlayThat exact amp was my first amp, and it was a piece of shit. It was quiet as **** (I used it to practise with the band, and even though all of our amps were 30w, mine was barely audible), it didn't work well with a Boss DS-1, it had a pitifully small amount of effects on it and even then they were mostly shit. You can get decent Orange solid states for less money, unless all you're looking for is some terrible distortion channels and bullshit flangers, in which case sure, get a Spider. Otherwise, spend the same amount of money on literally any other amp. Modelling amps can be awesome, but the Spider III is not. It's cheap, badly-made tosh. Hell, even a Spider IV is a ****tonne better.
Why? It's a great budget amp for home use. Are you being a pretentious bastard again? Should we all shell out hundreds for that Vox AC-30 every ''self-respecting guitarist should have or else''. For someone who says he can hardly play you've got a lot of opinions, brev. 🙂
You assume too much about my opinions... brev.
