Summer NAMM 2019: Line 6 Announces New Spider V MkII Amplifier Series
“The best sounding Spider amps we’ve ever made,” according to the company.

Summer NAMM 2019: Line 6 has unveiled the Spider V MkII amplifier range, which features the Spider V 30 MkII, Spider V 60 MkII, Spider V 120 MkII, Spider V 240 MkII and Spider V 240HC MkII.
All Spider V MkII amps, which Line 6 calls the “best sounding Spider amps we’ve ever made,” boast 78 amp models, 23 cab models and 101 effects models. There’s also an onboard tuner, metronome, jam-along drum loops, compatibility with the optional Line 6 FBV 3 Foot Controller, a USB interface, the free Spider V Remote app and the ability to trade presets with the Spider V community at CustomTone.com.
Additionally, the amps offer the option to select between classic and full range speaker sims—Classic Speaker mode provides more organic and authentic amp-to-speaker tones, while Full-Range Speaker mode is optimal for acoustic guitars and jam track playback.
All Spider V amps from the 60 MkII up also include built-in wireless receivers that pair with the optional Relay G10T wireless transmitter (or other Line 6 RF2 transmitter). The Spider V 120 MkII, Spider V 240 MkII and Spider V 240HC MkII, meanwhile, feature stereo XLR direct outputs for easy connection to a mixer or sound system.
