I just bought a vk112 for super cheap - works greak but has a good distortion and good clean- thats it. You will have no trouble being heard with a spider iv 150 212 if you adjust the volume settings.

When I audition a tone it comes out through the 2x 12 (I have a 150 212) and sounds great. When I unplug the laptop and try the preset it just doesnt sound good. I have been saving channel volume to 50-60% and it still seems to be a non linear master. Unplugging the fbv has helped as I think the volume setting on that causes it to be too loud too.

guitarcenter has them $249.99

but sound crappy when I unplug computer. And what's with the volume issue? Turn channel volume down and tone is weak and constricted turn up and I shake the house. Master volume is like an on/ff switch. My Mustang III can play at bedroom or concert levels easily . How can the spider do it?

The presets on the SPider have too much gain and too much bass- if you edit them or create your own it gets loud and sounds good. Tried a valve king- turn down mids or you get buzz and you will get a good sound.

a tube amp will give you a couple good tones - a modeling amp like the spider or fender mustang will give you unlimited good tones

Bought a used in great shape Shortboard but cant register it due to no serial number . I will call Line 6 tomorrow. Can they help or do I have to return it ? I want to update a Spider iv 150 212 I bought but cant update without registering shortboard unless I only have to register amp. Thanks
