Line 6 Spider V 30 1x8" Modeling Combo Amplifier for Electric Guitars

Designed for electric and acoustic guitarists, Line 6's Spider V 30 is an amplifier, which models classic amp heads, cabinets, and effects, providing them all in one gig-friendly package. You’ll find 78 emulated amps, 23 modelled cabinets, and 101 separate effects built into this 30W amplifier, which sports a 1x8” speaker.

In addition to its guitar input, you’ll note the 3.5mm line input for routing your favorite tunes from smartphones or music players. A headphone jack, which mutes the speaker, allows for silent practice, though it also can serve as an analog direct output for recoding. However, if you want to record digitally, you can do so through one of the USB ports provided on the rear of the amplifier—ports which also double as inputs for your iOS or Android device, as well as your Mac or Windows.

For practicing purposes, a metronome and a tuner are offered, as are drum loops recorded by real drummers. The amp provides a compliment of over 120 presets, many of which recreate the tones of famous guitarists, albums, and songs. You’re also given four user preset slots. Tweaking your effects and tone are as easy as cranking five knobs and navigating an intuitive LCD display. If you have a Line 6 FBV pedal, you can connect it via Line 6’s proprietary FBV input jack and once hooked up, you can switch models and manipulate effects with your feet. A mobile app for sharing/perusing through custom tones has been included, as has Cubase LE, a DAW which allows you to record, flesh out, and mix your ideas on your computer.
