I just cant get past the fact that people actually think the spiders sound good. Please stop recommending those

I second that emotion. I love my PODxt, think the Flextone and Duoverb are pretty decent, got my best sound ever through a Vetta II, and wouldn't mind test driving an HD147 for a couple months, but D**N I hates me some Line6 Spiders. Nauseatingly useless little buggers.

I just cant get past the fact that people actually think the spiders sound good. Please stop recommending those Personally i like the vox stuff, most of the models sound pretty good, even for high gain. If you want something really brutal it may not be the best, but it will cover 95% of that territory. If you want brutal and SS, get one of those old marshall valvestates like the 8000 series or whatever. If you know who Death is you will know what i mean.

Sounded decent to me for the price the dude bought it for. Vox makes good stuff too though, of course I really dont play high gain too much at all though

uhh, forget ALL TUBE AMPS if you want high gain at low volumes to sound good.

This is just not true... if you have a modern more channel amp, you can just turn up the preamp gain and it'll sound good too. (Of course not as good as cranked, but good)

Why don't you just buy an Attenuator, then you can run tube amp at low volume.

the valvestate 40 rocks too. I regretfully sold it away, its sounds like an AVT 50 and perhaps BETTER !

I have gone and ordered a podxt. got a good deal on it off ebay. i'll probably just sell it in a few days though, if i can't get it sounding warm enough or analogue enough. i know it will be digital sounding no matter what i do but there is a limit!

i am guessing this podxt won't sound too good through a cheap ss amp?

I would just keep workin with that Marshall man. Try the PodXT, try OD pedals, try hitting the amp in the face with a high-output humbucker, try letting the amp do all the work and using low-output PUPs...that's a solid amp that a lot of people have gotten good high-gain tones out of.
