Spider® IV guitar amplifiers redefine what is sonically possible from modeling amplifiers. Feast your ears on the sophisticated touch response, complex distortions, and tube-style compression of the most advanced Line 6 amp modeling to date.

Inspired by the sounds of immortal American, British and European amplifiers, (and inspired by the features that made Spider III amplifiers the #1-selling guitar amps in the country*) Spider IV amps grant you unlimited access to sparkling clean tones, rich mid-range tones on the verge of breakup, high-gain metal mayhem and more. Plus you get stunning presets, juicy effects and the unparalleled flexibility that made Line 6 famous.


The critics are raving…

“…the song presets alone are a ton of fun and would probably be enough for many players without any ability to program. For the pro player, the Spider IV 75 is a darn good little unit with a zillion sounds at a stupid low price. Sixty-four user slots to write your own sounds into should be more than enough for anyone. Did I mention you can also use FBV Mk II pedals to download future firmware upgrades for your Spider IV? To an old analog guy, all this seems like a miracle.” (Spider IV 75)
Pat Smith, GuitarEdge.com, November 2009

“Great Tones. Authentic Feel. Light weight. Priced Right.”
Simon Bradley, MusicRadar.com, October 2009 (Spider IV 75)

“Based on what I found during my time with the Spider IV 75, these amps offer a tremendous combination of flexibility, power, value, and tone. They’re perfect for a cover-band situation where you need a variety of sounds, or for finding your own signature sound. Compact, lightweight, and comprehensive — you can’t go wrong!” (Spider IV 75) Mitch Gallagher, http://guitarsandgear.sweetwater.com/, October 2009

“The people at Line 6 have made a name for themselves exhibiting products that feature amp modeling technology ranging from audio interfaces to hardware amplifiers. The successful line of Spider III amplifiers have given Line 6 enough juice to cater for more innovation, fresh features, and updates. This thrust has led to its latest line of modeling amplifiers, the Line 6 Spider IV.” (Spider IV Line)
gearwire.com, August 2009

“Bottom Line — this is a killer amp. There are just too many things to like about the Spider IV. It’s got great tone, a ton of options and the ability to be loud enough to make your chest pound. What else could you ask for in an amp?”
G-v Rover, gear-vault.com, October 2009

Line 6LINE 6 – Modeling Pioneers

Most non-musicians are likely unaware that the past fifty years of guitar amplifier technology has had a more significant impact on the history of rock music than the electric guitar itself. Each individual amp and effect design was created to distort and color the guitar signal in a different way, contributing significantly to why the guitar sounds of the Beatles were so different from Jimi Hendrix or Pink Floyd. Both the subtle and overt differences between the many types (and even specific serial numbers) of amps and effects, became cherished tonal signatures that were sought after for the particular sonic mood that they might inspire.

In the mid-1990’s, Line 6 set out to meet the needs of today’s guitarist by harnessing technology to turn a wide range of great tone into a reality for every guitarist. Line 6 amassed a noteworthy collection of sought-after vintage amps and effects, and started meticulously measuring and analyzing every tonal aspect of the amps, effects and their associated circuitry. Since an electric guitar produces an electrical signal, each element of the circuitry that alters the tone of the guitar is in fact processing that signal. By creating software models in DSP (Digital Signal Processing) of how the guitar signal is processed by these circuits, Line 6 had the ability to connect up and control these virtual circuits in any way.

After years of research and playing, Line 6 launched a patented technology in 1996, with the world’s first digital modeling guitar amplifier, the AxSys 212. This product provided users with models of dozens of classic guitar amplifiers, as well as a complete arsenal of stomp boxes and effects. The AxSys quickly took off and led to the further development of Line 6’s technology into a comprehensive line of guitar amps within all price ranges. Only a year later, Line 6 launched the next guitarist tone revolution: POD. This kidney bean-shaped desktop device went beyond just the modeling of many classic amplifiers, it was created to solve another critical problem that had plagued guitar players: recording great guitar tone.
