    Amp modeling and digital effects in a classic tube amp.

    The Spider Valve amp head delivers 12 channels of amp modeling - combined with several flavors of built-in modulation, delay and reverb — driven by an all tube, all Bogner amplification design boasting 6L6 power tubes and 12AX7 preamp tubes.

    Spider Valve™ is the result of a groundbreaking collaboration between Line 6 and Reinhold Bogner fusing the versatility of modeling with the performance and feel of a world-class tube amplifier.

    Just as Line 6 revolutionized the world of amps through pioneering modeling technology, Spider Valve shatters the boundaries of tube amp performance by applying that same tonal range to Bogner's all-tube amp design, boutique component selection and stellar voicing.

    Combining the performance, response and feel of a well crafted tube amp with the inspiring capabilities of amp and effect modeling - the Spider Valve amplifier delivers the best of both worlds.

    Modeling + Tubes

    The Spider Valve design combines 12AX7 preamp tubes with Line 6's signature modeling front-end, a marriage that allows each part of the sonic equation to deliver what it does best: creamy, cascading distortion and enriched harmonics from the tubes, and 12 of the world's finest amp models and seven stunning effects from the modeling front end. And, of course, perfectly matched 6L6 power tubes driving Celestion® Vintage 30 speakers to deliver unprecedented sonic impact and spatial imaging.

    With the simple front-end controls and display, programmable patches and presets are instantly within reach. Tweak your tone even further with the front panel Presence, Drive, Bass, Mid and Treble controls: this is a true-blue tube amp, and it acts like one, responding and delivering all the analog detail, performance and warmth of every amp model and effect.

    Unleash your effects arsenal.

    From the DL4™ stompbox to the Echo Farm™ plug-in, Line 6 effects have achieved cult status in top studios and stage rigs of discerning guitarists. With Spider Valve, Line 6 delivers a palette of top grade integrated effects - easily accessed and tweaked from the front panel using the SmartControl FX knobs.

    Modulation

    A choice of phaser, chorus or tremolo lets you tweak your tone from rich luscious modulations to dramatic orbital gyrations.

    Delay

    From the swirling feedback of the sweep echo to the organic decay of the tape echo, Spider Valve delays provide an unmatched level of dimension and depth.

    Reverb

    The Spider Valve effects arsenal is complete with a dedicated reverb control — allowing you to dial in anything from subtle ambiences to cavernous spaces.

    The Bogner Story

    Reinhold Bogner, the principal designer at Bogner Amplification, had been designing and building amplifiers long before leaving Germany in 1989. Moving to Los Angeles he quickly gained the trust of many influential players including Steve Stevens, Dan Huff, Allan Holdsworth, Mike Landau and Steve Vai who sought out his skill at modifying and custom building their amps.

    But it was overhauling and revitalizing Eddie Van Halen's legendary 1968 Marshall® Plexi in 1992 that propelled Bogner to legendary status and inspired him to launch his own high-end amp company, Bogner Amplification. Acclaimed for their rich, robust tones, channel-switching sophistication and sonic versatility - Bogner amps have earned a maniacally devoted following among discerning guitarists such as Jerry Cantrell, Lyle Workman, Wes Borland, Chris DeGarmo, Keith Urban, Richie Sambora and many others.

    Using only premium components - in tandem with a level of craftsmanship that can only be referred to as "artistry"- Bogner amplifiers more than deserve their exalted reputation. Ever the restless creator, Bogner brought those same priorities, standards and sensibilities to bear on the Spider Valve design. Each Spider Valve amp--the 112, 212 and HD100-- combines the talent and experience of Bogner, arguably the tube world's leading light, with the know-how and technological savvy of the world's leader in modeling, Line 6.

    the leap from Vetta...

    I recently traded in a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier to pick up a used Vetta (v. 2.03) with the FBV Longboard. I wanted one since I was a kid, and was thrilled to see one of the originals with all the updates. After a month or so, I was getting tired of constantly scrolling through edit pages and adjusting volume levels from 5 different sources. Then, when I almost lost hope, I found a used Spider Valve HD that the owner must of had for less than a month. I made the trade once more and was floored by the performance. I'm a big fan on Bogner amps, and with the Line 6 versatility, it was a no-brainer. In no time I was dialing in spongy, bold metal tones and spacey, rich cleans...it made me realize how much I missed my tube's 'character' in my Mesa.

    I have only had it for about a month i bought the extra warranty (Always a good idea) I had plenty of money to buy all the expensive high end amp heads my budget was about $6000 so i wasnt worried about price. but i choose this one cause it sounded very good plus i have to play were noise is a factor and i heard you had to crank up those high end tube amps to get the most out of them,  you can get all kinds of sounds out of it and you dont have to crank it up too loud. i was a little aprehensive about buying line 6 their spider amps are not made very well but this amp is very solid.... so far im happy you get all the metal sounds you could ever want good clean sounds its a good ideah to at least get the footswitch for it. hope this helps someone

    I've had mine for 4 weeks now and I must say I couldn't be happier! I'm so glad I bought this amp. The presets are great but you can deff dial in your own tone and it is sooo versatile. I play mostly Hi-Gain Metal but the clean, crunch and blues tones you can get out of this thing are just incredible. I sold almost all my pedals except I run a sonic stomp and a opto compressor through the FX loop that cleans up real well. Only beef is that the volume defaults for each preset are super loud and when you switch through them the volume changes dramatically. All in all for 8 bills this amp could go for double that and I'd still buy it again. Great job Line6. By far there best amp yet.

    Everything i read about this amp is true. Bogner and Line 6 did an amazing job of combining the best of both worlds. what stood out to me is the variety of tones that are possible to dial in using only the amps natural distortion. The gain and tone controlls are very active in shaping the tone giving the player a huge arsenal of killer tones. Also the clarity of the spider valve line is unsurpassed. The "clean" channel remains completely undistorted even at the highest volume settings. This mixed with completely quiet opperation at high gain settings makes this amp truly amazing. Overall it's a great amp, one that i would have easily payed double the sticker price. I'm a new believer in line 6.

    To be honest, I was expecting a mediocre amplifier. With the price so low I figured I would try it out and if it was horrible I'd send it back. I have always been a big fan of Line 6 effects. I've been using the POD XT Live for about 7 years now. I love the effects and the versatility, however I have always hated the distortion. I've always had to use my amp's distortion regardless. I was skeptic of this amp to say the least. However, I am now a full believer in Line 6. This amp sounds great. The distortion channels do not disappoint. The clean channels are awesome. Not to mention that you can tweak anything you want. Now the thing I love the most about this amp is that it is amazingly quiet. This is a studio musicians dream. If you do a lot of recording with varying types of music, do not hesitate to take advantage of such a low price on such a fantastic piece of equipment. Another shining point is that this amp is extremely loud. It is very impressive how loud this thing can get. I own an H&K Triamp, a Mesa Triple Rectifier, and a Peavey XXX. Let me tell you that this amp compares to all of the above. I purchased the matching cab with the celestion 30's and it's a lethal combination. I am very impressed. By the way, do not buy this amp without an FBV pedal. The shortboard controller has been a necessity. People, this amp has Bogner's name on it. How can you go wrong with something designed by the man himself. If you are considering purchasing this amp, I say go for it. You will not regret it.  I only regret the fact that I didn't purchase it earlier.
