Has anyone played a Line 6 Spider II amp?

My old amp is busted and I'm pretty low on cash. I dont like using distortion pedals so I was looking for something that could handle metal on its own. It seems like a good solid state amp to me, is it?

I'm thinking about it as well, as you can see in my other thread. Someone help us out!

I own the 75 watt one, and everyone that I've ever played in front of has always said positive comments about it. I myself think its the best damn amp you can get for $300. It works for whatever music you wanna play clean or heavy. I've had it for about 6 months and haven't had a problem with it yet. Also that growly tone that it has and Line 6 makes such a big deal out of is kinda useless it can't pick up much when you play fast or higher pitched notes, but it may be useful for some stuff. But its a great amp in my opinion, good luck with which ever amp you pick.

Its a very good amp in my opinion. My school as one and I used a Yamaha Pacifica (Shit) on it, and it sounded amazing with any sound you use. But if you are looking for an amp so you can mould your own sound, I dont imagine it would be too good. But other than that, I would say go for it.
P.S. They come with a footswitch too.

I have it and like to practice with it because it has built in effects and the sound is easy to manipulate.

Good amp. To get some of the specific tones you really need [an] effects pedal
