- Line 6 Product Specialist Tony Camponovo gives the scoop on the new Spider V MkII amps, including our new vintage amp presets, full-range and classic mode functionality, and the array of other features found in this insanely versatile amp.
Thanks Line 6. I’ve upgraded firmware on my my Spider V 240 mark 1 to the latest version. Once doing the factory reset, I spent the next 3 hours on the first 3 banks (only) of refreshed sounds - reinvigorated by the fresh, new, useful and sonically excellent tones. The presets with the ‘classic’ mode (no tweeter) are awesome from what I’ve heard so far. Well done Line 6, I feel like I’ve got a whole new amp, and love it!! 💪🙌😀
Still happy with mk1 after the upgrade? I ask because I bought one today really cheap (120W)
i hated the firmware update. the full range sound is SO much better.
I've got some high end tube amps but my Spider V 240 Mkii is my 'go to' amp. Thanks Line 6!
I used Line 6 gear back in the 1998-2010 era...with the Pod, PODxtPro rack, and Flextone combo which all produced good clean tones...but the high gains were mostly brittle/sterile-thin and required a lot of tweaking and post EQ to make them usable.
That seems to have changed now...from where I sit with my studio cans on...even though this is just Yutube.
However,
I do wonder why Line 6 doesn’t include the Helix platform sims on ALL their units today. It seems rather counter productive to market a line of amps that DO NOT offer your very best available tones. IF I was the chief at Line 6 I would never feel good about selling gear...that I knew “could” sound better...that just wouldn’t sit right with me.
The flagship Helix platform should be included in the Spider series in 2020.
Just my 2 shekels worth.
So I’ve had the original Spider 210 with the original Floor Board and have been so happy with it that I’ve NEVER thought of changing. This series of amps has me second guessing about doing an upgrade.
Damn Barry Gibb still got it going on
It would be nice to have access to some of the Helix tone patches as well to download . Beef up the modeling part of these amps . I have the mk2 240 watt spider V and love it. I returned a Boss Katana for this amp.
why did you make that choice?
AND IF YOU ALREADY OWN an original series Spider V you can upload its firmware and get all this goodies. Free. I liked it, i love it now.
Pato Parra how?
@@corncobking600 by updating software through line 6 updater version 2.00 by using pc or apple
Kambel 79 or IOS
Thank you.
i need a 240hc mki vs mkii comparison now!
Would there be a need, though?
As all the MKI's can get a free download from Line 6 to turn them into MKII versions.
It gives the ability to shut off the tweeter, among the other software updates.
unbelievable i am gonna get one
How about a Helix combo amp with Variax for guitar and tuning modelling?
I'd buy it in a heartbeat. As long as it wasn't like $1000 lol
@@IAmKillEveryone Of course it would be... at least.
That's like Helix and Powercab stuck inside the same box.
@@mutantbaby1672 Exactly. One grab and go solution for jamming with friends. But with the power of Helix.
@@Peetie_Wheatstraw Firehawk 1500 is 63lb. Imagine how much a Helix combo would weight. Not very grab and go.
Didn't know that Line-6 is a part of Yamaha now.
Yamaha bought Ampeg in 2018, too!
I didn't know about Yamaha buying Line-6 off of LOUD [Mackie] around 2014 or so, until about 2 weeks ago.
Yamaha's restructuring/spin-off in 2014-ish really sparked their push, I guess.
At least, they have the solidity to not crap out and kill off the brands. Too often in other acquisitions of well known brands, they only end abandoned after a few years worth of an attempt.
Can I connect my phone to play backing track on this amp?
Are you serious ? That's been in every guitar amp since the 1990's !??!
That's a nice amp. If I could get rid of my spider 4 150 watt 2/12" amp I would get one of the smaller Spider5 ones. I have only used this spider 4 150 twice at the most is just too big for my apartment.
Get a smaller one if you only want to purely use the DI/headphones. The smaller speakers don't sound great when you turn the amp up.
BETAsin When did you try one? They were just launched two hours ago.
@@AndrewBonicaRR The same is true for any practice amp with a small speaker, digital modelling doesn't make that problem go away. The reason stuff sounds thinny and "digital" is because the small speaker doesn't have enough bass.
BETAsin true that a small speaker can only get so loud and big, but suggesting the smaller ones are only useful on headphones seemed unnecessary, especially when the original commenter said he needed something not too loud for his apartment, in which case it’s perfect. 😉👍
The whole point of my post was the fact that I had a spider 4 150 w/two 12s that takes up a lot of room in my small apartment. I can't get a smaller amp if I can't get rid of this big amp first! :-)
pedal fbv2 works in mkii amps?
Why does my PRS SE Paul''s Guitar NOT working with the V 60 and Relay G10TII device? I have tested the guitar with other devices and my audio interface I do have signal. Cables are fine. I also tested with my Taylor GTe and it works fine with the Relay and amp. Wireless and plugged in.
Belleza, es súper el sonido 👍👏👏
Can't wait to see Glenn Fricker drop this off a building.
Lmao cant wait
He should throw it off then kill it with explosives
Thing is mate this isn’t the same as the old spider range - the sound difference is clearly obvious . In my honest opinion line 6 has come a long way . I trialled a helix and I am now a proud owner. You never know he may give them a go and they may be productive he’s said good things about the helix . I’m interested to see what he thinks
@@theoneeyedmilkman1517 He tried the first version of this amp and tossed it off a building and smashed it with a sledgehammer if memory serves.
austinfailz he didn’t this time
Still no MIDI PC and CC? This has been the only thing that's ever kept me from getting a Spider. I''d much rather have MIDI control for program changes and parameter variations over continuous controllers than mobile app integration. The Spider Valves were great but I didn't want a tube amp.
Can't wait to see what Glenn Fricker thinks of this one lol.
Glenn fricker is hired by crate to disparage Line 6 spider series.
Looks like its the same friggin amp...and he will smash this one too.
It will NOT stand up when compared to a Revv Generator. No duh Glenn.
Who is Glenn Fricker?
JJ Fafrak He likes it. Video has been up.
Can you edit the effects/presets with your phone/tablet via bluetooth?
For the direct out mono jack . What cable or o have to get if my other end on my mixer is 1/4”
If I'm not mistaken, just a female XLR to 1/4" male cable. [as briefly shown at the 2:10 mark]
*Note: You can also just get adapters for whatever combo you need, if you already have good quality cables.*
*I presume you have standard 1/4" male to 1/4" male instrument cable, if so, you just need a female XLR to female 1/4" adapter,* such as these two:
Just be aware of the price of an adapter vs simply getting a full cable with the correct ends which might be worth skipping the adapter route.
i.e. currently $6.59 www.amazon.com/CableCreation-Female-6-35mm-Socket-Adapter/dp/B01J33COI0
or D'Addario/Planet Waves for $9.76 www.amazon.com/Planet-Waves-Female-Balanced-Adapter/dp/B0002E51AI
*As always with Amazon: be VERY aware that choosing different colors, quantities, etc can change who the selling source is, and sometimes that means no more free Amazon shipping.* [Don't choose the Planet Waves that is just $3.55 because it has $12.99 shipping!]
@@EdwoodCA I appreciate it man. Really looking forward to trying it
Does the direct to daw work with pro tools ?
When are you going to fix the remote app for Windows 10???? It's 2021 and it STILL does not work!!! Please fix this!!!
What don’t you all include a book for the mk2 instead of the old V guide book.
I'm a beginner guitarist. I just want to play at home. Is it best to get the v120 amp or 240v Head with the 50amp speaker?
Will amplifi get an upgrade as well?
So when do i get to start the warehouse on fire?
I've got a Spider V already but I can't see any difference except the classic speaker mode - though maybe that could be a firmware update ?
shavenyaknz other than the cosmetics, you can get all these great new features by updating your existing Spider V to firmware 2.0! Enjoy! 🤘
I agree... not much change to warrant an mkii badge more just a firmware upgrade...
There's a huge difference in tone. Do the update you'll see. It's a big improvement, even though the MkI series was much better than the earlier Spiders.
Yes, i have one🎉🎉😂.
Have a muff box. Stoner rock tones?
@graham hilgartner yes I. Got the line 6. A month ago. Has many distortions
would it be possible to introduce n octave effect with 1 octave UP and 1 down, like now there are 2 octaver related effects, 1 octave fuzz, and 1 that gives 2 down octaves, ore would i need to buy a separaratge octaver for this?
yes
People love to talk shit, but I NEVER had a problem with my OG Spider III amp. If you know how to dial in a tone, you can get plenty of usable sounds from them. I haven't had a spider since my little IV, but I'm thinking about coming back...
Finally!!! A send & return loop for external fx pedals!...
Wait...
Oh crap...
There are plenty of options out there for that, it’s not like the market is lacking. This is for guitarists who want everything in one box.
@@AndrewBonicaRR yeah, I know. But name me one amp in the price range of the 240 Spider V mkii head+cabinet that does not have a S&R. IMO that's only the spider. The lack of s&r did me buy the Katana 100H, since I need one. Just a pity there is no S&R; really a great amp nonetheless.
@@TDevolder Sorry it didn't meet all your needs, but thanks for the positive notes. :-)
Does the spider 4 footswitch function with spider 5 mark 2?
Can it Metallica?
Yea yea but what’s new
Why not name it Spider VI
Same software architecture, just upgraded features.
Its a new update to the model not a new one all together.
Yeah, so when I updated the firmware in my MK I I somehow accidentally replaced the presets it had with a list that I dont like at all. Ive factory reset it 3x but it still has the same list of presets. Really like the classic mode though. Anyone able to give me a link that really does reset it to factory?
¿ Por qué , si vas a demostrar los sonidos de determinado equipo , pones encima de estos la voz de un individuo indicándote lo que tienes que escuchar ? No tiene sentido .
That's great but you should have fixed the real problem with the spider v, which is that when you're charging the g10 relay you cannot use the amp. If you had a different jack or used the headphone jack as the charger I'd be able to cable in my guitar also the power has to be on, it should be unswitched power to the g10 charging so I don't need to have my amp on and being unused for the duration of the charger cycle. These are two huge flaws that get in the way of players using their amp.
They do offer a $14.99 charging cable, which you might even find a better solution altogether. IMO, it should have come included in the box, but at least it's available. shop.line6.com/relay-g10t-usb-charging-cable.html?___store=ww_en&___from_store=ww_en&___store=us_en
never been in that situation with mine
@@sec102row1 my friend, you have just made my life so much easier! Thanks, will be getting one tomorrow as soon as the music store opens!
You are misinformed. It's much more than an aesthetic update. They've added the classic mode to the speaker sims which makes it default to a more typical combo amp tonality. I have a V240, which I gig with regularly, and the new software is a BIG improvement over MkI. Before you had to tweak to get a good straight amp sound. Now the first bunches of presets are just amp models, no effects, and they sound really good. I know, I have a full Helix rig, and the Spider works fine as a more grab-n-go, practice, small gig, or rehearsal setup.
Also, using the app allows you to access cloud preset directly into your amp via PC/Mac. I upgraded to the MkII software when it arrived, and am very happy with it.
Non repairable amp. Too expensive to repair. Throw in bin if it stops.
Why is it non repairable ?
Don’t waste your money.
