yep the oh so familiar black box bars of death. as you all know the amp is practically junk at that point. called a authorized service center they want 180 plus my hour ride there my hour ride back no amp for who knows how long rent amps so i can play live then who knows what other surprise cost may be in there and finally what i paid for the amp. so whats that come out to at least a brand new spider iv. so i been googling like a nut and this is a damn common problem. WTH line 6 this problem wasnt advertised in any of your product fliers or online ads or store ads, obviously only because nobody would buy them. yea my amp is outta warranty yada yada the thing is mint though i never abused it. how does an amp just break from using it. its built to be plugged in and played isnt? i call you guys and you quick and easy you guys say call a service a center. like you dont want to bother with me. the reason this upsets me is because this amp sounds great and for the price geez its a win win. the problem is millions left the factory with this condition and you guys say its the end users responsibility.  really guys i was set on being faithful and strictly use your product. ive used peavey marshall mesa fender behringer egnater orange diamond. i can keep goin and i know i know theres some top dollar amps in there how can i compare i cant really they all sound awesome in there own way but i practically get all those in one unit. this seriously is disturbing you guys arent backing us spider iii owners. we bought your product because it was just what we wanted not because it was only available. plus all of us are requesting how to repair where to repair and so on, clearly that says we want to keep on using your amp and no one elses. i expected more since your such a huge company. after all you guys stated the spider 210 is the most sold amp around the world that says your product is awesome but the secret us people dont know you dont seem to want to back it up or us.
