Sounds like he wanted to clear up why he chose not to give away that Line 6 product.

I find that guy kinda painful to watch.
Is he ever not angry?

I don't get it, and have no idea how anyone can find him entertaining, but I have a Spider III I thought about throwing in the river a few times. I have to say, Line6 is capable of making good things (DL4, M-series). I don't know why they can't make a decent practice amp. If it only modeled 2 amps (Fender/Marshall) instead of 50, they might have something.

I used to have an Uber Metal pedal from Line 6. I think it had a "Clownshoes" setting.

OK - while I still believe with a little patience you can squeeze a usable, if not decent tone out of any amp....yeah, that was pretty weak - the Old/New comparison....
Let's all be honest - we all thought (likely correctly) that Spyder Mk Anything was bad.

I had a metalzone once and honestly i loved it. I set the tone once and left it for the entire time i had it. The only reason i sold it was because it broke.
I have a peavey bandit somewhere the red stripe one and imo it hammers hard.

I think he left the factory settings. I've heard some demos that did the spider v justice, but they made their own preset.

Well I think that vintage Marshalls are complete crap cos you can't get a spanky clean sound right?
.. well no, but that ain't what they do. It's about context. A 30w MultiFX amp is for literally bedroom level practice or song learning in a living room with friends. Does it sound like a small boutique tube amp or a dual rec? No but then I didn't need to drag the 4x12 into the lounge or set up an fx chain.
Would I gig out with one? Well ideally not because they seem voiced to sound 'big' at low volumes. That tone doesn't scale up to gig levels well and it is hard to dial out the harshness.
Did the Spider V sound bad in the vid for high gain metal? Heck yeah but a tweak of the EQ and gain levels and better choice of models would have seen to that. It couldn't have been dialed in worse.
The worst thing that companies like line 6 do is make over the top presets to 'show off' the features. Kids go 'wow.... cool' for as long as it takes to actually try and use that sound in any meaningful context.

More vintage Marshalls have absolutely beautiful clean tones than ones that do not...
For any piece of gear to be inherently "good", it shouldn't be a challenge to make it sound good. If you can't show up to an event, plug in, and can't dial in a passable sound within a minute or two, then it's either the user, the amp, or both. I used to own a Spider IV back when they were new - I liked it as a beginner, but after a while I found no amount of tweaking the settings would make one sound decent. I don't have any doubts that the V is any different.

Well, the Anderton guys threw it against the Boss Katana, Fender Mustang and others and it sounds freaking awful, even with presets they did themselves and not the stock ones.
Just listen guys. It's hilarious how bad it is.
It sounds like it has a serious freq cut over 6k and beyond. There's nothing in the high-end, which strangely is the same issue my old Pocket POD had...

the guy looks at some of the comments to the video and addresses common replies, which includes other alternatives for the same money and more of what he is giving away instead of a Line 6 Spider V
also, NSFW

I also want to point out that easily 75% of the people saying 'why didn't you donate instead of destroy it' wouldn't have donated it either, but would have turned it around for a quick buck.
