I'm looking a Line 6 Spider 20-20 modeling
vs
Fender Mustang I V.2 20-watt 1x8 modeling combo

Any help??
 
Re: HALP ! Blew up cheesy amp-Advice for new one-aaaaaaaaNOW

Mustang is way better in my opinion. Easier to use with more options. I'd maybe save up for the newer one for the Bluetooth streaming too.
 
Re: HALP ! Blew up cheesy amp-Advice for new one-aaaaaaaaNOW

Yeah, I think I'm leaning thataway. Total noob; first amp except for cheese squier. Don't know chit.

I mean Mustang. And you said the magic word "easy"-I'm a tech wreck. I was on the way to buy another guitar and the amp went just in time!!

I guess Fender it is.

Ain't it gonna suck going from 10watts to 20?!? I'm ready to dance!

I have the VIP2
40 watt with the 12 inch speaker

Those things are awesome little boxes
You can get the software to use your PC to arrange your effects and such

YO! You can get LOUD. I love it !! Well, I'll seem loud to me, going from 10 to 20 and old POS to brand new. Just gotta save $99 for foot switch/loop. Not worried-you know it will take me that long to find the ON switch. Hey, I'd like to see that Epi Florentine. I have digested all my guitars for the first course, and want to see more. I have to go back & look at Black's Charvel again. And, oh never mind. We were talking about amps. I have so been waiting for that POS to croak. But now I feel impotent (yes women can) coz I can't plug in till probably Friday. Ordered Tuesday, 2 day fedex. The overnights "absolutely positively have to be there before 10am>add 24 hours to here. It was all I could do not to make a spinach joke.

Glad you like it. You have pedals or foot switch?

Search guitar center used site for the sanpera pedal

They are much less expensive

The Peavey was the right choice. The editing software is good, too. I owned the Fender Mustang I and Line 6, and the Peavey is much better- that is the one I kept.
 
Re: HALP ! Blew up cheesy amp-Advice for new one-aaaaaaaaNOW

With the Vip2 you get instrument models , amp models, and pedal models
The VIP1 gives you the same amp and pedal models but not instrument models

You'll have to live without two acoustic sims , 12 string and 7 strings sims, baritone, sitar, resonator, etc

Dang I just dont see how you can do it:34:

You'll be awite

I like the Twin and JTM 45 models myself
Some are way too gainy for my tastes
 
Re: HALP ! Blew up cheesy amp-Advice for new one-aaaaaaaaNOW

20 watts is plenty loud. The Fender Deluxe is only 22 watts, and I used one for years doing gigs outdoors. Congrats on the NAD.
 
Re: HALP ! Blew up cheesy amp-Advice for new one-aaaaaaaaNOW

I’ve gigged with a 20 watter. It gets over a drum set easy enough.
It doesn’t move the same air as my 100 watter, but it’s a hell of a lot lighter. Lol
 
Re: HALP ! Blew up cheesy amp-Advice for new one-aaaaaaaaNOW

Tube watts are different
The 20. Cant compete with a drummer

It does have a headphone out
That doubles as a cab sim direct out to a PA
Also helps for playing late at night

Should have an AUX in for sending music in for practice

The software has a jam feature that supplies the backing band for jamming

Might miss bari. . . probably not coz I don't know what I'm missing!!! Hey, it's got bass, and I DO care about that. Might need Baker Act for missing sitar-
Ya, if I had a few bucks, Would've gone for next one up, but as it is I had to borrow this $$. Sucks. That sanpera pedal-does it hook up to amp like $99 Peavy, w/multiple stomps (whatever)??

Dang I just dont see how you can do it:34:

So I just wrote all in the middle of your post. Only on first coffee, sorry.

Thanks! Been waiting 2 damn years for that POS to implode. . . and E, I've got a Williams Legato 88 that makes lots of strange noises-synth, stuff, I think there's a drummer in there, so I'll have to watch out for him. Oh man, I need another amp. . .

The neighbors are going to call Carl (deputy) and say I'm sacrificing cats in here. . .
