Hi,

 

I'm buying the Spider V30 MKII but I have few questions about:

 

1/ What does MKII stand for ? What's the difference between Spider V30 and V30 MKII ?

2/ Spider V30 MKII is not much bigger than the Roland Mobile Cube I have now which has only 5 Watts power. Does the Spider really deliver 30 Watts?

3/ For now I can't find any available Spider V30 MKII. Delays go for few weeks. Is it a supply chain problem or is Line6 coming up with new (un)announced models ?

4/ Is it easy to change presets manually without foot switches  for 2 or 3 presets?

 

thanks a lot for your time

1/ What does MKII stand for?    What's the difference between Spider V30 and V30 MKII ?  Version 2.  It's the newest verison of the Spider V30 amp.  Firmware: You can buy a used Spider V amp and upgrade the firmware and it will be essentially the same.

 

2/ Spider V30 MKII is not much bigger than the Roland Mobile Cube I have now which has only 5 Watts power. Does the Spider really deliver 30 Watts?   Don't know.  Mine is a 240hc.  The size of the box doesn't determine the output or loudness.

 

3/ For now I can't find any available Spider V30 MKII. Delays go for few weeks. Is it a supply chain problem or is Line6 coming up with new (un)announced models ?    Hard to say.  This is their current line of amps.  But it's been out for years.

 

4/ Is it easy to change presets manually without foot switches  for 2 or 3 presets?   You can reach back and turn the dial to go to the next preset.  Very easy.  Turn it to the left or right and get a different preset.  You can turn on and off effects by pushing on the the effects knobs.  All doable if you have time during a song.   A foot controller will be easier.
