yes, I have looked into the line 6 spider II series, and out of all the amps I've listed, it's the only one which I'll actually have an opportunity to try before I buy. my local shop about 2 miles from my house has line 6 spider II's of all shapes and sizes (from the 30W version all the way to the half stack), it's a really small shop, and all they have (as far as amps) are line 6 spider II's and expenisve crate tube amps.

there is a shop in the next city (about 15 miles away) that has a larger selection, but also insanely jacked up prices. for example, they have a fender fm212R for $500!!! they have my gibson faded sg special for over $1000!!! it's insane! they basically sell stuff at the list price. so the prices are insane, however, they still don't have any of the amps that I listed (except for the mesa(s), they have lot of mesa boogie amps there)

so now, you say that the marshall is a good amp, but overpriced... now, if the marshall and the vox were the same price, which would you take?
