| Subject: | Great addition to my studio |
| Quality:
| It seems pretty solid for a practice amp. Seems a bit delicate for jamming gigs and road use. I am mostly going to use it in my home studio. |
| Reliability:
| I have only had it for one week and no smoke and the knobs still turn..I jammed live with a drummer and it was able to get over the drums with no problem. Nice, loud and clear. Enough bass from the JamTrack to keep the drummer in time and the guitar sound was clean and not muddy sounding. |
| Overall:
| The beauty of this amp is the ability to put my studio mixes onto a 2 gig SD card load that card into the Spider Jam and find the perfect lead for my studio mix. The looping feature is a great tool for creativity. I can dub some loops for song ideas on the amp and then transfer them into my sequencer for further experimentation. It is great for a couple of musicians to work on ideas and just have one place to plug in for jamming and recording. I needed a tool that I could just turn on and jam with my mix ideas, instead of having to fire up my workstation and play through my headphones. |
| Playability and Feel:
| It feels like an amp.... |
| Tone:
| I tested this with a Standard Telecaster, Takamine EG530SSC Acoustic Electric Guitar, Sure SM58 mike and a Washburn X16. The Telecaster shines on this thing. Good clear and crunchy. The Washburn rocked on the metal and insane settings. The Acoustic was good and clear and the vocals were presentable. I also miked the amp with the SM58 and a condenser mike and it sounds great in the head phones. |
| Finish:
| It is black...with silver knobs....it looks good on the amp stand... |
| Action:
| The knobs turn..... |

| Subject: | I'm glad I bought it! |
| Quality:
| I have owned it for a week now, and it is very well made. |
| Reliability:
| I think with proper care it should provide years of enjoyment. |
| Overall:
| I thought long and hard before purchasing the Spider Jam, tube or no tube? I play my guitars at home for my own enjoyment, to get the best sound from a tube amp, you gotta crank it! This is not an option for me with my neighbors. This amp can go from bedroom volume to really loud, the presets are for the most part very acceptable. I have played on and off for over 20 years, I have owned several high quality tube amps and will say that this is the best bang for your buck on the market today for a modeling amp. All but the most hard core tube snobs will be pleased. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Very easy to understand. |

| Excellent for non tube amp. |

| Subject: | Alot of amp for the money |
| Quality:
| Only had it a week, but it seems dependable and controls are layed out fairly well. Easy to use right out of the box. |
| Features:
| There are lots of great sounding artist and song presets. The Jam tracks make it fun to "jam" especially since my band days are long gone. Sound quality of the tracks is very good too! |
| Sound:
| Sounds much bigger than it's size. |
| Reliability:
| N/A |
| Overall:
| Again, for only having it a week, I find myself really enjoying the features of this easy to use amp. |
| Value:
| Absolutely a great value for the $449. A must have if you're looking for a small amp with plenty of power and tons of cool features you won't find elsewhere. For me it was a terrific choice. |
