- 40W Class AB tube amp through (2) 12AX7 preamp tubes and (2) 6L6 power tubes
- 2x12-inch configuration featuring Premium Celestion Vintage 30 speakers
- 12 dialed in amp models (channel voices) that deliver a complete tonal range from shimmering clean to insane grind.

Just as Line 6 revolutionized the world of amps through our 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.
Spider Valve 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, 12AX7 preamp tubes and premium Celestion Vintage 30 speakers.
Combining the performance, response and feel of a well crafted tube amp with the inspiring capabilities of amp and effect modeling - Spider Valve delivers the best of both worlds.
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.
Amp Models
| Clean
Amber LED – Select this amp model and adjust the tone controls to get crisp, amazing clean tones, great warm jazz tones, and all the high-end shimmer you’ll need with a generous amount of bottom end.
Glassy
Blue LED – Line 6 developed this amp model to emulate those late 60’s and early 70’s clean tones. It started off as an amp model based on a 1973 Hiwatt Custom 100. Line 6 extended the tone control range and tightened up the low end.
|
Twang
Amber LED – This amp model draws on our analysis of mid 60’s Fender amps, including blackface ’65 Twin Reverb and blackface ’64 Deluxe Reverb. It features a classic glassy high end tone with some snap and bite.
Twin Twang
Blue LED – This amp model is based on a number of vintage tweed amps. Line 6 evaluated a ’53 Fender tweed Deluxe Reverb, ’58 Fender tweed Bassman and a ’60 Gibson Explorer to create a swingin’ Rockabilly tone.
| 
|
| Blues
Amber LED – Based on a mix of a ’65 Marshall JTM-45, a ’58 Fender Bassman, a ’63 Fender Vibroverb and a Supro so it slides between gritty swamp-infected cleans to syrupy smooth, walloping drive tones.
Blues: Class A
Blue LED – based on a fawn Vox AC30 amplifier with an updated and expanded tone control circuit. Line 6 wanted to capture that early British pop rock tone that the Beatles and the Stones are so well known for.
|
Crunch
Amber LED – A sound crafted during Line 6 studies of the ’68 Marshall Plexi 50 watt which was used by a number of early metal bands. Crunch provides a wider range of tone control settings than the original Marshall amp.
Crunch: On Fire
Blue Green LED – Based on a ’68 Marshall Plexi 100 watt with a few added extras: the combination of a Variac and the jumped input channels creates that infamous brown sound.
|  |
| Metal
Amber LED – An amp model based on the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier which produces a tight and punchy, high gain Metal sound.
Spinal Puppet
Blue LED – This sound was created to be an aggressive high gain amp model with a unique mid control that will sweep through an entire spectrum of tone on one knob. The Mid knob for this amp model changes the character of the distortion. When set to minimum, the distortion exhibits Fuzz pedal characteristics. When it is set to noon, it mimics the creamy modern high gain amp tones. And when it is turned up to Max, it’s very much reminiscent of that Class A sound.
|
Insane
Amber LED – An amp model dialed in for shredding based on the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier red channel. It combines the intensity and impact of Metal Red but delivers more midrange and teeth for that bone-crushing, brain piercing insane grind.
Insane: Eighties Solo
Blue LED – Line 6 had a goal in mind to provide you with as much input gain distortion as possible short of complete meltdown. You get an obscene helping of distortion while still retaining tonal definition and character.

It sounds great, but I feel that the Celestion Vintage 30s color the sound a little too much. | |

| It's made very well. It's new and has to stand the test of time, but I think it could last for years without needing repair. | | Reliability:
| I've used it for three weeks in sessions. | | Overall:
| You have to control the volume with the longboard or shortboard, or everytime you change the effects on the amp the channel volume goes way up to the max. I like having overall control of the volume on the shortboard. | | Playability and Feel:
| It's an amp. The knobs on the amp can be set where you like. I like the effects. | | Tone:
| This is a small but loud amp. The speakers are great. Two 12s make it deep and loud. | | Finish:

QUALITY:
This seems to be made very solid. Better than the rest of the spider III series which I always thought felt cheap. Everything about it is top notch including the tubes and the celestion v30's.
FEATURES:
Line 6 never disappoints with features. Almost more features than I care to deal with. Over-featured if there is such a thing. I'm a simple guy. I want to dial in my SRV tone and my Pantera tone very easily. This thing is featured enough that it allows me to do this very quickly and that is much appreciated. I'd recommend the FBV shortboard. Then you've got everything you should ever need from an amp.
The presets are really nice. I've found it easiest to dial those until you find something close to what you're looking for then tweak that.
EASE OF USE:
What I like is that this can be as complicated or as easy to use as you wish. To dial in classic Fender tube hard blues sound. I set the amp model on the amber blu | |

QUALITY:
Seems to be nicely constructed. Very nice speakers onboard(Celestions). The amp has been working just fine...no problems!
FEATURES:
Lots of usable presets onboard this amp. Most of them are quite professional and can be used on stage or in recordings. These presets should cover almost all types of music. You can customize and create your own as well...but you'll probably just duplicate a preset already in there. I wish the chorus and flange were independent of one another on the effects controls. But again, I rarely use the effects to customize anything....because there are presets in there that get me the sound I want. I have not had to set up any customs. You are going to want the footboard with this amp eventually(sold separately) especially if you are going to gig or record.
EASE OF USE:
Fairly simple and user friendly. The learning curve is small.
VALUE:
Big pro tube sound for small dollars.
