Spider Valve MkII Announced

Got a newsletter from Vettaville, and I saw a couple of posts online. IT'S HERE!!! Hopefully they'll update the Line 6 site soon so we can get more details/sounds/videos.

 

PRESS RELEASE: Line 6, the industry leader in digital modeling technology for music creation products, launched today its new Spider Valve MkII guitar amplifiers. The latest collaborative effort from Line 6 and Reinhold Bogner, the new amp line offers the flexibility of world-class modeling, the performance of boutique-style tube-amp design and many new features inspired by the original Spider Valve amplifiers, the line's award-winning predecessors.

"Spider Valve MkII amplifiers offer all the warmth and punch you'd expect from Reinhold Bogner, one of the top names in boutique amplifier design," comments Aaron Suplizio, Line 6 product marketing manager.

"Plus, combined with the most advanced Line 6 amp models to date, premium effects, a direct-record output and extensive MIDI control, Spider Valve MkII is a complete package for all kinds of professional guitarists."

The new amplifier line is well-rounded with two 40-watt combos and a powerful 100-watt head. The Bogner-designed preamp and power sections add boutique-style response to the Line 6 modeling: 12AX7 preamp tubes deliver creamy, cascading distortions and enriched tube harmonics; perfectly matched 6L6 power tubes (two in each combo; four in the head) drive the Celestion Vintage 30 speakers to provide unprecedented sonic impact.

Each Spider Valve MkII amplifier features 16 rich-sounding amp models and 20 brilliant on-board Smart FX. The amp models, inspired by the most celebrated modern and vintage guitar tones, provide the next generation in Line 6 amp tone.

The on-board effects deliver a complete palette of colors and textures including a collection of beautiful delays, tangy mods and lush reverbs. Players also get access to cutting-edge effects including the astonishingly responsive Smart Harmony, a built-in looper, auto-wah and more. Four effects can be used simultaneously and edited completely to create the perfect sonic landscapes. Plus, every working player's dream, Spider Valve MkII amplifiers can save up to 128 user-programmed presets.

Foot-controller and MIDI connectivity make Spider Valve MkII the essential studio and stage centerpiece. A Line 6 FBV foot controller can add a volume/wah pedal, tap tempo for all time-based effects, control over Pitch Glide, an easy-to-read LCD chromatic tuner display and more.

No mention of a tube pre! 

 

Strymon is still in business!

 

 

Sounds good to me, the effects part of it! The Original SV is great! So this should even be better!

Cant wait to try one out. Wonder if it sounds better than my Pod X3 & Atomic Reactor 112-50 (witch sounds really good)

But I guess it will take some time before they cross the Atlantic, and hit the stores in Norway

Re: Spider Valve MkII Announced

Well, looks like there's not much room for adding switches to the front panel, (if needed). The advertising says now that BOTH the preamp and poweramp section are designed by Bogner. Maybe an Alchemist style preamp?

Very excited.  Hope the channel/master volume could be fixed somehow right out of the box.
