The Spider Valve 212 modelling guitar amplifier combo has been announced. Line 6 have been dropping big hints recently that there were new products coming. Watch this Spider Valve Video and judge for yourself whether the new Spider Valve 212 sounds creamy....
The range has been named the Spider Valve series as it features all of the best loved features of the current Spider Series, but with the added valve pre and power amp sections designed by renouned amp builder Reinhold Bogner. However, the Spider Valve 212 is not one of those so-called “hybrid” amps that talk “tube” but don’t deliver the guts or glory onstage. The performance, response and feel delivered by the matched Spider Valve 6L6 power tubes, 12AX7 preamp tubes and premium Celestion® Vintage 30 speakers - combined with twelve Line 6 amp models and seven SmartControl effects - displays all the gorgeous cascading distortion and enriched harmonics that tube enthusiasts demand, brilliantly allied with the state-of-the-art Line 6 modelling mojo essential to today’s working players.
Just as Line 6 revolutionised the world of amps through their modelling technology, the Spider Valve 212 shatters the boundaries of tube amp performance by applying that same tonal range to Bogner’s all-tube amp design, boutique component selection and stellar voicing.
Spider Valve Series
Spider Valve amps will be available in three versions. The Spider Valve 212 pairs a 40W Class AB tube amp with two 12AX7 preamp tubes, two 6L6 power tubes and a single 12” Celestion Vintage 30 speaker. The Spider Valve 212 features the same power amp and tube array as the 112, but with two Celestion Vintage 30s. The Spider Valve HD-100 packs two 12AX7 preamp tubes, four 6L6 power tubes and 100 watts into a stylish head with matching 4x12 cabinets, loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s. Each model features 12 channels of modelling, as well as modulation, delay and reverb effects, programmable presets, on-board tuner, tap-tempo, noise gate and many other extra features.
In summary, the Spider Valve 212 is the result of a groundbreaking collaboration between Line 6 and Reinhold Bogner fusing the versatility of modelling with the performance and feel of a world-class tube amplifier.
