Spider valve Mk II Cabinet Modeling?

I'm thinking about getting the Spider Valve Mk II HD, but I won't be getting the line cab with V30's to go with the head. Does the SV mkii model cabinet sounds like many of the other line 6 products. I own (or have owned) the Flextone III XL ( which as a wonderful combo!), Vetta II, HD147, and the spider II.   I hope it does not model cabs.  I have had problems with the Vetta II and HD147 not sounding great with my two genz-benz g-flex cabs (even when I turn the cab models off).

    I must assume the MKII has the same power amp as the SV-MKI series.  The most popular speaker choice (here) for the MKI was the G12-K100, even in 4x12 cabs.

     

    Good luck

      Re: Spider valve Mk II Cabinet Modeling?

      Thanks for the reply, but I was wondering if cabinets were modeled with the spider valve.  The HD147, Vetta II, and the flextone all have the ability to model an array of different cabinet models.  You could, for example, use a modeled 4x12 Mesa Boogie Cab or a 4x12 marshall cab.

       

      Does the spider have similar cabinet models?

       

      The reason I ask I because I want to use the Spider Valve with two genz-benz gflex cabs.

        No the spider valve series does not have cabinet modeling that you can switch.

          I didn't think you would be able to alter the cabinet model setting if it has them.  But are the cabinet models built in?

            I think it depends how you look at.  The spider series has been the plug and play line for L6.  It has never had the same depth of editing as the pod or vetta lines.  I don't believe L6 claims to have modeled certain cabinets with each model, but I suppose you can argue that some sort of cab modeling has been considered for each.  Might depend on your ears, but I think L6 would say that no, there is no cab modeling, but I would imagine something goes into the making of each model.

              I've used the F-Flex 2x12 with the 40W MKII combo and I really like it.  Of course it's a tad warmer with a better low end.  Sounds significantly better with the hi gain stuff in my opinion.  Maybe a bit of a break even in the lower gain stuff that sound more natural in an open back cab.

               

              I think you could easily make the G-Flex work with the HD.

               

              And no, there's no cabinet modelling.
