westhemann Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 That's what I was thinking...the jvm is a much better wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 not sure. for me, i dont like to want things that are really out of reach, i am thinking of things i might actually be able to get. and that mg is the only one i really liked, and am familiar with. but im sure there is better, just not what i really could afford.

westhemann Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 The line 6 half stack has the "british high gain" tone of that marshall(except better...more like the jcm)plus many others...for roughly the same price...plus it has effects... The modern high gain setting of the spider III is especially nice...for a non tube amp it's about the best you can do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 yeah i was surprized when i played a spider III last week. i usually hate the gain on line 6's, but that one sounded pretty good. what i dont like about line 6 is that i find them hard to figure out. all i have ever had is a 15 year old marshall 30 watt mg, and it just has basic EQ. it takes me a long time to find the right settings i like on those new amp because there is so much on them.

westhemann Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 The manual has alot of "settings" you can use...they tell you how to get the Metallica sound you most likely use,and it is very,very close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 http://www.zzounds.com/item--LINSPIIIHSTK that one? how can it only be 75 watts with 4x12s? i know nothing of amps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sami Ghouri Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 not to hijack the thread, but since line 6 amps have already entered the discussion.... any opinions regarding the Vetta II combo?? i tried it the other day and it sounded good even for a person who's tweaking it for the first time ever... but goddamn it costs zillions here ($2200)........i'm gonna be hungry for years to get it..

westhemann Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 The amps wattage has nothing to do with the number of speakers...but an amp will be twice as loud if you double the number of spears...kind of... there is also a 150 watt head available...but 75 is plenty..

westhemann Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 They say the vetta is the "better" of the line 6 amps....more realistic in it's modeling...but it is more expensive... for metal they have a special head that does nothing but high gain...I played on it once,and it is amonster.. http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product...Head?sku=482195 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 No...in stereo equipment they started adding all of the speakers and everything into the wattage,but that is stupid and I don't know why they do that... in guitar amplifiers the wattage of the head is all that is counted...the cabinet just has a "rating" which tells you the maximum wattage it is capable of handling from the head...at a certain ohmage...

killemall8 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 another thing, what is so bad about the mg series? i like them because of the built in effects, and i think both clean and gain channels sound pretty good. not as good as tube, but still, better than anything else i could afford.

avengers63 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'd give a nut for a mint 1956 Buick Roadmaster convertable. It'd match the Danelectro "bowtie" I'd be playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a one trick pony...they only do one sound decently,and really it isn't all that decent... I had an mg half stack for a couple of years by the way...to make it even sound reasonable I had to use a Zoom driver and an eq... I just think natural tones are much more listenable....Line 6 is a better amp all the way around...I had nothing but trouble with my mg...Besides...no matter what sound you find yourself wanting over the years,line 6 can come pretty close...for cheap.

killemall8 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 hmm wes you have indeed changed my outlook on those things. but what i want to know is why everyone i know( pro players and music store owners) never liked line 6. i have always heard of it as a cheap wannnbe brand that has tried to cram too much into an amp.

westhemann Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Same reason they don't like the MG...bad quality control..alot of what they send out doesn't work as advertised But the mg is just as bad....they are both bottom of the line products(spider series and mg)...the only thing that makes the spider better is that it sounds better..but like marshall,line 6 does have a top of the line(flextone and the big 300 watt metal head) If you buy one,try all of the effects before you keep it...do not leave the store with a new one in the box....as long as everything works at the store,you should be good for the long haul.... Same as any bottom of the line amp...when you demand low prices,you get low quality...especially from indonesia,korea,etc... But still,it's better than when I was your age...back then nothing was cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was the same price and made in the US (or most of western Europe) the quality would probably be even worse.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killemall8 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) ok, wes i know your are super picky about your tone, so here. on a 1-10 rate how this sounds TONE wise. i wont get offended, i know its nothing special, and its the best i can do, so i have no reason to get upset about what you guys say. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_sqDgkbsCQ Edited September 16, 2008 by killemall8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed...I only use them as an example because they have some of the cheapest labor right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
