Excelentes efectos y gran variedad

I'm going to put my conclusions up here, because they're mostly for the demographic this amp targets. If you want to know the details and how I reached these conclusions, scroll down:

This amplifier is the single worst music-related purchase I have ever made. I came into this with very low expectations (knowing what to actually expect from a Line 6) and it failed to meet any of them. It is not as good as a used Spider from any previous line at any of the things in which it competes with them (being an amplifier with a wide range of effects you don't need to be a rocket scientist or expert to get sounding kind-of-good), and as for all the features it has on top of its $100 used competitors? You can only actually access them through an app for your phone (which, if you have an android device, is the single least functional application I have ever used; can't speak for iOS) or a much more stable application for Windows that is missing the key function that almost made the terrible interface worth it.

If you are looking for an amplifier (for yourself, or for your kid, or relative, or friend) for someone that's 'just starting out' and 'doesn't need anything crazy', this is what anyone at a Long & McQuade / Guitarcenter / whatever would push you straight towards. Maybe, once, that made sense. Now, it doesn't. For like $100 less you can buy a used model of a better version of this exact device, which is really what the guy at the store things he's recommending you to. For $50 more you can buy a 50 watt Boss Katana that actually does everything this amp claims to be able to do, is exactly as user friendly a, sounds significantly better, and really could last a musician straight from their first chord to their first few gigs.

Just, please, do not buy this. Line 6 can make competent hardware. This isn't that. They can make a revolutionary new interface for practice guitars that also double as a speaker system. This isn't that; it's the interface from that haphazardly rewritten to work over usb instead of bluetooth, such that it does not work. And every person that buys one of these things (myself included) is telling them that this is okay.

- Alright, now to the substance of my review

I bought this to replace my 12 year-old venerable Spider 3, which had finally begun breaking down after more than a decade of solid service, as my practice amp. I'd like to think I had some fairly reasonable expectations here - I wasn't buying this expecting it to fill the role of a recording device or to actually sound like a real 'modeling amp' the way that the advertising would have led a person that didn't know any better to believe, though aforementioned borderline-deceptive advertising does figure into my ranking here. I bought this to have a small, portable amplifier with a number of convenient presets and effects built into it, knowing full-well that at its heart it would be a substandard scaled-down Peavey Bandit with a bunch of presets and effects built in, not a 'modeling amp.'

I'm genuinely surprised it was possible to be let down with those expectations, and that should say all this review really needs to for any prospective buyer.

One of the biggest flaws with this amplifier is that the controller app (available for Android and iOS) is absolutely necessary to actually use it meaningfully. They have added an absurd amount of functionality between the Spider 3 and 5, but if you didn't have a phone you'd never know it. The functionality (and ease of use) available with nothing but the physical interface is actually a significant step back from their previous models. You can basically just switch between presets (which, in my opinion, are all a significant step down from the default presets on not just the old spider, but most amps I can think of) and struggle to adjust a basically-random assortment of effects present in that preset So...it actually fails as a traditional amp right out of the gate.

That said, with the remote, the functionality is incredible, and while the amp's presets are terrible, the remote's key selling point seems to have been designed anticipating this, because there's a Tone Cloud allowing you to share your settings and download others', including some from professionals who have done an incredible job making this thing actually sound decent. The real problem here, though, is that this device has no wireless capabilities and the way they decided to build this output (presumably so they could just use the one output for both computers and smartphones rather than spending the extra $2 to put another micro-usb port on the back or something) means that you're going to need to buy a nonstandard adapter you've probably never heard of before (and if you actually buy this in a store, will not know you need and will not be able to find in the Long & McQuade / Steve's / LA Music) to use this app. In my experience, trying to use it this way works poorly, and maybe it's the adapter I bought, but it disconnects constantly and takes an extremely long time to load back up or do anything every time that happens. It's basically unusable. I know "It's literally unplayable" is a meme at this point, but seriously, a practice amp that exists for the sake of being able to quickly play around with different sounds on the fly where, sometimes, when you change from one preset to another the whole thing locks up for five minutes and needs to be rebooted (along with your phone), is not a product in a completed enough condition to ship. But ship they did, several years ago, and they've since shipped a second model of this thing using the same app, and it's still a broken mess.

The experience of using the same remote on PC is actually a lot better, except it, somehow, lacks that key feature I mentioned earlier. Somehow their desktop app does not have access to that cloud. So, the expected workflow for this device seems to be that you'll buy a $15-$40 adapter to plug your smartphone into it, select a preset you want to download from the cloud and upload it to the amp itself, wait several minutes for that to actually process, hope it actually works and that it won't just be a greyed out blank preset when you plug the amp into your pc, plug it into your PC, and use the remote from there.

Alternatively: there's basically no difference between this and any VST/software 'amp sim' other than its ability to drive an actual speaker directly. If I basically *have* to use this from my computer anyway, I might as well just use an amp sim, because the Ignite Emissary sounds better than anything this can produce and is free. Or, if I still intend to pay several hundred dollars, I not only have my choice of every amp sim on the market, but the difference between this and a 50 Watt Boss Katana is less than $50.

All of this is to say: I admire its attempt to be innovative, but in doing so it fails completely at everything that it is either supposed to be or people expect it to be. This is the worst music-related purchase I have ever made, and I am genuinely a little ashamed of myself for it. My advice for all the guitarists 'just starting out' that "don't need anything great" is to either spend as little as possible on, like, the kind of 5 watt amp with a clean and overdrive channel that comes with a knock-off stratocaster (it will provide you with an identical quality of sound) or spend the extra $50 and get the Katana, which will actually continue to serve their needs basically indefinitely.

The software for the spider remote did not work on my pc but the app on my phone worked great. Just had to order a male USB to male USB for my Galaxy S5.
Everything sounds incredible, very happy with how it sounds with headphones as well.

Fun amplifier! I love the crunch setting;)

Not the greatest

I'm a 15 year guitarist. I have a big amp (Peavey 5150 half stack) that I can't play in my apartment, so I bought this V20 in hopes that all the hate for Line 6 was unwarranted. I just needed something small to riff on at home.
"How could they possibly go wrong with a 20 watt practice amp," I said.
I had no idea that such a low quality standard existed. Everything. And I mean, everything about this Spider V20 represents a stunning display of a lack of care about quality control. I will be heartily returning this product. I think Peavey has a similar practice amp with fx, and they've taken care of me for years.

The Good:
Was cheap.
Has lots of settings.

The Bad:
-Horrible high-pitched squeal. 15 years of guitar playing and amp tinkering could not make this squeal go away.
-Doesn't come with USB cable and the product advertisement has an asterisk next to Android, but no footnote to explain what the asterisk is for. You have to purchase a separate adapter to use this with your Android phone, which I would have purchased with the amp if the ad had been more forthcoming.
-The fx are mostly garbage. I was able to dial in a sort-of "shoegaze" type sound that was ok, but other than that, the fx on this amp are garbage that I would never use.
-The distortion is laughably bad. It seems to be crafted with young metal guitarists in mind, but I don't think this would even fool a brand new guitar player. It just sounds objectively bad, and I would love to hear someone argue otherwise.
-The software support for this is phenomenally bad. I updated to the newest driver in order to use the Cubase software (which I'll get into next), and the instant I plugged my amp into my computer, it blue screened. My new computer I bought 2 months ago blue screened due to Line 6's shoddy drivers. Fortunately I was able to eliminate the driver and my computer works fine now (multiple blue screens later).
-I can't find the "Asio Spider V" driver anywhere on the Line 6 site, so Cubase won't work. Also, registering my key with Cubase took multiple attempts over 2 days. They had to send me another key. I had to reinstall the licensing software 5 times before it made a soft e-license folder so I could activate it. Then it wouldn't work because I couldn't find the Line 6 audio driver.
-This amp sucks.

Line 6, I genuinely feel like you should be ashamed of yourself as a company. I will never purchase one of your products again, and I can't wait to get this piece of garbage out of my house.

It was almost like learning guitar all over all the things you can do with this amp with out effects pedals. Built in tuner. Many options. Pure clean strong sound from this amp especially at low volumes. Solid buy. Could not be happier I went with this brand

Was going to buy a used Fender amp and did a little shopping on Amazon. Fell in Love with new Spider. Line 6 put in all the tech of it's more expensive amps into this unit. Loads of presets and an app to load, edit and save your tones to the amp or disk. With over 200 amp models and dozens of FX, you will be satisfied as far as your possibilities. I bought this to practice with new Schecter Koa guitar. I was worried I would not be able to get a good clean and blues tones but this amp delivered. From super clean to insane, this amp covers all tones. For its size it is surprisingly fat and very loud! I was also after outputs to record into DAW and this device shows up in windows and DAW as output source, completely digital via USB. Comes with headphone out to keep your neighbors happy while you shred. Bluetooth app!!! This is my first Line6 product and I could not be happier with the superior value packed into this amp. Highly recommend !

The remote app doesn't work on droid. If you want to use the amp as an interface for the cubase recording software that comes with the amp you need to do a few things. Once you select which type of track you want to record ( eg: distorted guitar and vocals) you need to go into studio-studio setup-vst audio system, and from there go to asio driver and select spider v. Then you can back out select the amp as your input an/or output. Also know, this software is very buggy, problematic and not worth one dollar. At least this garbageware is free.

Considerably better than the MicroCube I had been using despite the lower price. I have an 8-string (Ibanez RG8) and this amp brings out the deeper tones in a way that portable amps cannot. Effect presets work like a charm. I expected a TS (1/4") output jack, but there's only a standard headphone jack (3.5mm). No aux in, either. Not a problem per se, but not what I expected. On the whole, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.

Good practice amp for the money. Coolest thing about it is the built in tuner. I no longer have to have my digital tuner set up. Lots of features. I use an old school ehx tone tat and it sounds decent for such a small speaker . For the price u can’t go wrong.

Love this amp

Bought this for my husband and he was definitely happy with the quality of this product and fast shipping.

I bought this for my husband who began playing about a year and a half ago. He LOVES it. He loves all of the sound options and the quality. Would recommend for beginners.

Nice little practice amp, especially with the Spider remote app. The tuner...well, I'll stick with my chromatic clip on tunner, mainly because sometimes I tune certain strings to a higher or lower pitch and I like to actually see the scale increments. :)

Got the amp and was excited until I plugged in. Power worked but the speaker did not. Return policy was easy though.

I bought this amp for my son. He really enjoys it. It is very good for what it is. He uses it in his bedroom for practicing. It is a very good amp for that.

Totally awesome product for beginners who want to take it to the next level.
Just fun to play along the effects and find the right tune for you.
Got it today and for the price/product, i can't be any more satisfied.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my 8 yr old. He loves it!! Its not very big or bulky and its LOUD!! Prefect size for my 8 yr old!!

Awesome tone and control. Would benefit from two inputs and an output.

Had to return this. Had a line 6 spider practice amp years ago and thought this would be similar. Not sure what they did but I could not get a decent tone to save my life, even using the software. Decided to swallow the cost and bought a boss katana 50w instead. There are better options so stay clear of this one.

Nice little practice amp. Well worth the money! Be sure to order a Micro USB 2.0 OTG Cable Flat On The Go Adapter Micro USB Male to USB Female so you can use the phone app!
