  • Amp issues. It had been a while, so I guess I'm catching up already. :s (p.5)

1 ECC83 and 1 ECC82 (or 12AX7 and 12 AU7 as we call them here).

With problems like that, it needed to go back.

Yup. 

I've just finished re-tracking all the guitar parts for that song I'm working on w/ the Spider. A/B ing the results between each combination (POD + Impulses, various amp sims, the Blackstar and mix of all of these) and the Spider - night and day. These new tracks just sit in the mix w/o sounding buried or too loud or too thin or too compressed - and all I have done so far is put a hi pass on the guitar bus and a slight cut in the mids.

I'm a happy camper.

I've only ever had one issue with a non-power tube.  I had a "balanced triode phase splitter" that was ticking like crazy.  LOL.

 The line 6 DT 50/25 are some awesome live amps. A little too salty for though unless I started to gig live on a regular basis.The little DT25 combo would make a nice studio or live amp.

 Those amps communicate with all the HD series boxes and Variax guitars,changing up the tube layouts based on settings.Cool stuff!!

   Like most of the guitar POD type boxes, you can get a lot from them if you work on making your own settings.

Hmm... Twisted Sister's Eddie Ojeda set up a group of Line 6 Pods for use on the road as they traveled only with their instruments on a tour last year. Seems to me they work just fine for live gigging. The guy at music store was just being snobbish.

Heck I use a POD HD500 as part of my live rig. But alas it isn't for the modeling it's for the totally dope effects! And yes I use a Marshall.

I'm guessing he was talking about this particular one - the Spider IV 75. I've read similar comments on the web. I guess it depends on what you mean by "live". Unless we were playing tiny holes w/ virtually no PA... I might as well have been using a POD or a 1 watt amp. It was all wedges.
