New to the Spider III is a huge range of killer mid-gain guitar tones.

Amp Models
Clean
Select this Amp Model and adjust the tone controls to get crisp, amazing clean tones, great read more warm jazz tones, and all the high-end shimmer you'll need with a generous amount of bottom end.

Crunch
This Amp Model is based on* a '68 Marshall Plexi 100 watt with a few added extras; The combination of a Variac and the jumped input channels creates that infamous brown sound.

Metal
This Amp Model is based on* the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. Use this Amp Model to get a tight and punchy, high gain Metal sound.

Insane
This model is our "dialed in for shredding" version based on* the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier red channel. It combines the intensity and impact of Metal Red, but delivers more midrange and teeth for that bone-crushing, brain piercing insane grind.

Effects
A great amp isn't the only part of a great guitar sound. With Smart Control FX, an exclusive Line 6 feature that automatically dials in different effect parameters, you spend more time playing and less time tweaking. Simply find the effect that you want, turn the knob to your desired intensity, and you're done. You can even use multiple effects at the same if you wanna get really crazy.

Sound
I just received my new spider 3 half stack yesterday and I am very pleased with the quality, functionality and whats on everyones mind in this day and age...price. I am an experienced guitar player of 20+ years and love the fact that I can get a vintage crunch or switch it up a little and play some insane distortion that could only get from Line 6.
