Hey, I was just wandering if I should Pick up an amplifi or just hang on to my spider IV. I've had the Spider IV since 2010 and it works fine, though I've never played with settings. I just tried the Amplifi 75W at GC today, however I was unable to connect the amp to the application and whenever I signed into line6 it ALWAYS said "unable to connect to line6.com" even under perfect Wifi and or 4GLTE. The basic tones were a grand disappointment compared to the Vox VT 20+ and I was basically appalled that on an American standard deluxe strat, the distortion was beyond weak, the bass was to flat, the mids were great, and the highs were..just *ehh*. I'm going to give it 1 more chance provided I can actually get the app working with it and make a tone or 2 (good luck finding tones for x-Japan songs x.x). But I was just wondering does it have any advantages over my Spider IV? I was just wondering because $400 is REALLY pricey for something that sounds (based on the 1 hour non app version of play) Far worse than the SIV, and the plastic top really threw me off with how cheap it looked to be, though major Kudos to the idea behind the amp. Plus i have an apogee Jam unit for my iPad, and I use some apps to practice from time to time with that, so I'm at a bit of an impasse here.
