Crunch
This Amp Model is based on* a ‘68 Marshall® Plexi 100 watt with a few added extras; The combination of a Variac and the jumped input channels creates that infamous brown sound.

LINE6 SPIDERIII30 FAQs
What's new about the Spider™ III?
- Killer New Amp Models – Dialed in with the help of pro artists
- Huge library of 400 Presets - created by some of today’s most respected artists covering everything from their own insane tonal creations, though the top 100 guitar songs/tones of all time. (Available for Spider III 75, 120, 150, and HD150 only)
- POD® 2.0 Style Direct out – for serious direct recording tone
- Full Chromatic Tuner – Upgrade of Spider™ II’s guitar tuner to a full blown chromatic tuner
- New Look!
What's different about the Metal Sounds?
We worked with some serious artists, who challenged us to step up and create some serious tone. The metal models were totally over-hauled to cover the key metal tones from the 80's to the present, with some additional tricks rolled in to give you the range and possibility to create your unique tone that just might define metal tone for the next decade...
Did any of the other models change?
Every model was tweaked and improved with input from a panel of pro players and artists. A critical advancement was made to the sound and feel of the “mid-gain” range of tone. With their guidance, we were able to upgrade the models to deliver the complex, layered and dynamic amp tone we all appreciate from classic and boutique amps.
Why so many presets?
Here's the deal with the 400 hundred presets. The idea was simple: directly connecting you, our Spider community, to a ton of guitar tones created by the artists that inspire you.
So we invited every killer guitarist we could find to dial in a set of presets. What we ended up with was the over 250 artist created presets covering everything from blues to metal and the 150+ top sounds that cover the best guitar songs of all time.
What's the difference between the HD75 and the HD150?
The HD150 is a 150 Watt Stereo Head. It will work best (be loudest) when connected to a stereo cab like the Spider™ 412. The HD150 features 12 models, Smart FX, and the 400 presets. The HD75 strips it down to the essentials with a 75 Watt Mono power amp, the 4 key models, and Smart Effects.
How do I record with my Spider III?
With POD® 2.0 style direct out on board, the best way to record the Spider III will be to connect the headphone/Direct Out connector to your mixer or I/O box. The amp's speakers will mute out automatically, and you'll have killer Line 6 tone going direct to your recording application. Of course, if you want to make some noise, you can mic up a Spider III just like any of your other prized amps.
How do I copy and save an Artist preset into a User bank?
Simple - Use the navigation buttons to get to the preset you want to copy. Press and hold a channel button to begin saving. Use the navigation buttons to select the user preset you'd like to save to. Press the flashing channel button to complete the save. (Available with Spider III 75, 120, 150, and HD150 only)

Dear Musiciansbuy Line 6, Ok, Iam 59 years old I've been disabled 10 years. I got my first guitar at age 6,so I've been around the block a few times!!! First I started out on country, went through old rocking roll,rock,country rock,metal,heavy metal and two of my favorites Mark Knopfler and Jimi Hendrix. I am not a expert, but a guy that likes to play guitar. I got my Spider III 30 yesterday from you guys ,it arived in perfect shape. I looked at the book that came with it and hooked her up and pluged in. I want to tell you it was way beyond what I though it would be,the sound is unbelievable, the tones are unreal. I've been around a lot of Amps in 59 years,but for the money and size this little baby can't be beat!!! THANK YOU!! Bradford Bradley
