Killer presets for any occasion





The Line 6 Spider V 240 MkII is loaded with a full arsenal of presets. The quality of the presets has been vastly improved when compared to the Spider V 240 MkII’s predecessor ? their modeled amp characteristics, such as compression qualities and EQ curves, have been dialed in better than ever before. What’s more, Line 6 brought in high-profile artists to help develop additional presets. This gives you spot-on Artist and Iconic Song presets, not to mention a whole bevy of classic amp presets. With over 200 killer presets ? and an intuitive, color coded control set, the Spider V 240 MkII makes it quick and easy to nail the perfect tone.





Full-range speaker system





No conventional guitar amp, Line 6 spec'd the Spider V 240 MkII with a full-range speaker system that includes two custom-designed guitar speakers plus a high-frequency driver. The benefit here is that your amp will sound fantastic with not only electric and acoustic guitars, modeled amps, and effects ? but you can also plug in a full mix and hear it in high fidelity. Want to go old school? No problem. The Spider V 240 MkII’s Classic Speaker mode automatically shuts off its high-frequency driver and cab/mic modeling, yielding an organic sound and feel that seemed comfortable and familiar to the traditional-minded guitarists here at Sweetwater when we ran it through its paces.





Useful extras you'll appreciate





Line 6 packed their Spider V MkII amps with useful extras that you'll appreciate ? and rely on. With the Spider V 240 MkII, you'll take performance and practice to the next level. Its built-in wireless receiver accommodates a Relay G10 transmitter (sold separately), enabling you to cut the cord. Maintain perfect tuning with the onboard tuner. Sharpen your time with a built-in metronome. Craft a layered performance with a 60-second looper. And get into the groove by playing along with pro-quality drum loops. All in, Line 6's Spider V MkII amps are the best Spiders ever ? and they offer tremendous value. You need one.
