Ive heard it sounds killer and is an improvment over the first spiders.Never played one myself.
Ive kinda jumped off the line6 wagon and am looking at marshalls(JCM800,DSL100,TSL100 e.c.t.).

The price seems right.I'd safley say its one of the best solid state amps in the price range.Of course I'm speaking from a wide perspective.Some guitarists wont stand next to anything that dosn't have tubes,but if you like it then give it a shot... just give a kick down a flight of stairs and return it if you think it sucks.
