This thing is in limbo. It has too many functions to be a basic amp, and not enough to be a really broad-ranged amp like it's bigger siblings. It annoys me that it gives you effects, and then doesn't give you a whole lot of ability to fine tune them to your own tastes. The tremolo is especially annoying because you have no control over the depth, (which goes from all-on, to all-off) just the tempo. Another thing, and this is something that has become standard in the Spider series, is that the knobs are digital. While this is not a problem per se, it could be better implemented. When you change the amp model, it overrides whatever you had the knobs set to. This is a problem, because you have no idea what the positions of the knobs are for the presets, and you have to turn them a little to get control of the knobs function, which instantly throws it to the knobs current physical position (indicated by a dimple on the face of the knob, which, by the way is kind of hard to see in low light). Confused? Yeah, some kind of led's around the knobs to show their current digital position would be nice.On the plus side, they should never crackle when you turn them, even 20 years from now!
The farther you roll the amp selector knob to the right, the higher the gain goes, so if you are trying not to disturb the neighbors, make sure you back off the master before you select Crunch, Metal, or Insane.
As far as sound quality goes, I don't have any complaints. It does sound pretty nice, it can be adjusted to give you a really clean sound, but, as is typical of solid state, it lacks the warm fuzzy tone of tubes. Not a knock really, just par for the course.
The instruction manual does not explain how to use the built in tuner function, and the FAQ's on the Line6 website seem to be describing the 15w model procedure, not this 30w (which is very different in the way it works), but you'll figure it out pretty quickly when you start turning the tuner knobs.
Bottom Line: If I had a piece of advice to give to those of you on the fence, I would either get the 15w model, (because I really don't see enough extra features in the 30w model to justify twice the price), or step up to the 75w model which has 300+ presets (and it's probably loud enough to gig with a drum set, which this probably is not). I honestly don't see a hundred dollars difference here, if they had included the 300+ presets on this model, I would give it 5 stars, but as it is, it is a nice little 4-star amp.

Easily one of the best practice amp ever made. I'm a Fender amp guy. I play a Twin and a Hot Rod Deluxe. Between those two I can get any sound I want. The only problem is when I am getting the sounds I want, it's at a pretty high volume. So I bought this amp hoping to find some cool tones at modest volumes. This amp fits the bill perfectly. It's got great clean sound and I was REALLY surprised by it's metal tone. Nice high gain sound at a low volume, BONUS! The effects leave a little to be desired. They are very limited in how much you can tweak them. I'm not a huge effects guy anyway but I'd still like to be able to diddle around more with each effect. I really doubt this amp could be used live. A garage party, patio or pool party, it would probably be just enough. It just doesn't have the "grunt" needed to get over live in a big room. But for two bills you get one awesome amp for around the house that won't upset the neighbors or even my wife and kid in the next room.

In a matter of a couple of hours of non stop playing I was able to dial in my distorted and clean rhythm and lead. This amp is phenomenal and will be a staple on my next project. I've played on Fender amps, Marshal stacks, and Crate combos, bang for buck this amp kills them all.Want Line 6 Spider IV 30 30-watt 1x12 Modeling Guitar Amplifier Discount?
