Line 6 Spider IV 75 VS Orange Crush CR60C for rehearsal and gigging (METAL) what do you think?

I can only speak for the Line 6 Spider IV 75. The amp has a wide variety of tones available but you'll also need a short board (pedal board) for foot control during gigs. The sound will also depend on the guitar you use as well and whether you add anything into the signal before going into the amp. The Spider doesn't have facilities for adding extra speakers which may be important to you. Try both amps out with your guitar(s) and take a trusted colleague with you as another set of ears. You know what you're looking for so don't rush the decision.

The Orange is louder and sounds better, but doesn't sound like modern metal (without a pedal). The Line 6 has more tones, but not necessarily better.

Sorry this answer took so long. I purchased this for my grandson. This was his response to your question. Like and use my spider for metal and like it, but many bands such as Slipknot use a version of the orange crush. I have personally not had the opportunity to use the Orange Crush.

I would recommend the Lind 6 Spider IV 75. I haven't tried the Orange Crush but from what I can get out to the Line 6 it's more adequate for my use. It's a great little amp with plenty of power. I would definitely recommend it for purchase. If you like to hear what it sounds like please check out my soundcloud page at https://soundcloud.com/search?q=romano%20apologeticum look for the songs Full of Grace and Six Tones of Creation. All the tones recorded were generated by this little amp. Enjoy!

Not an easy number to find. The specs (http://ww2.duracell.com/media/en-US/pdf/gtcl/Product_Data_Sheet/NA_DATASHEETS/PC1500_US_PC.pdf) indicate that it depends on the load. I don't know off hand what the demand load of my devices is (A Shure remote in-ear monitor receiver and a second Line 6 digital transmitter pack for guitar) but I find that the ProCell durability to be substantially less than the Duracell Ultra. I have had one failure onstage (NOT good!) and two during rehearsal sessions. I no longer trust them for live gigs.

I tested both at guitar center before and I found the Zoom to have a ton more options I thought. BOSS makes awesome pedals so some of the heavier distortion is a little better on the ME80 but with all the combinations and effects chains you can create, it is well worth it to go to Zoom in my opinion.

I chose Marantz for their reputed sound clarity and warmth, hoping to coerce impressive sound from mediocre speakers. I was not disappointed.I was also interested in video upscaling from all sources, low distortion even from speakers with a lower impedance (as even 8 ohm speakers aren't a constant 8 ohms from 20Hz - 20kHz), and the ability to output video and audio from the receiver to a capture device in my PC. The SR6008 was the lowest common denominator providing all these features.Excellent question!

I have another low end ukulele that is all. So, I cannot really give a comparison. What I can say is what I had already said about the OU5. I may, however, add that it is not pricey. Thanks.

I use the 600LC with braid trolling for bass with no problems so far. Set your drag right since there is very little stretch. I have a ten foot mono shock leader.On the 800 LC I use stainless wire and have caught plenty of bass and blues with no problemsGood luck

I am really impressed with this amp, but it does not have a very heavy overdrive/distortion channel. If you want to play in the styles of these artist, I would recommend either using a distortion pedal with this amp (I use a Line 6 DM4 distortion box), or getting an amp with a heavier distortion (such as peavy or line 6 spider for around the same price range). This Orange amp does have great tone considering it's solid state and has a lot of great features, just not a blistering distortion. I hope this is helpful.

Yes, these are fantastic for on-stage use (you may also want to check out the MEElectronics M6 if you want a memory wire (over-ear design).

Hi, I can only tell you my experience with the S6 Original, I absolutely love it! I'm a beginner too, female, in my forties. I'm 5'7" and medium build, I would say I have average sized hands. This guitar sounds so amazing, it has such a rich beautiful tone, I never felt like it was too wide or big to comfortably play. Hope this helps.

I would say that the T15 is probably the more accurate and musical, plus, it's a hell of a bargain. They can be found on sale for $50... THE PAIR!! They just sound great. They are slightly warm in my room... most likely the room itself causing the issue. Judicious use of tone controls correct this for me. The amount of musical enjoyment for so little money, You can't go wrong. The build of construction, fit and finish, and looks, especially with the grills off make these even more attractive.

That's why they built the tone of four sought-after amp tones (Clean, Crunch, Metal, and Insane), six effects, and loads of presets into the Line 6 Spider IV 15 combo! You get it all: vintage and modern amps, effects, even a huge collection of presets crafted by top players! That said, this is a practice amp. It does not have the readout of the different presets and is not powerful enough for performance use.

I personally find the RAT a lot less noisy in my chain and I like the nuances I get from the filter knob and hence the different kinds of distortion I get from it. But then again I guess it's a matter of personal preference and taste. I personally would pick the RAT over the Big Muff anytime but I'm sure there are others out there who think otherwise. Also, if you play on-stage live I really appreciate the clear light on this RAT especially when it's dark on stage. It's a lot easier to change the battery too if you are not connected to a power source. I realise these are not sonic features but as I stated above I am hesitant to say one sounds better than another because it really depends on your taste. I'd recommend you try out a few candidates at the store first to figure out the sound you wanna get and go from there.

Holy moly, I wish I had that problem..to choose between two companies with stellar offerings. The LS50 is exceptional, would I prefer a pair of Wilson Watt Puppies......in a heartbeat. But, as the monetary system collapses, you are probably far better off to get some acoustic instruments.

Wendy,I am a guitar player, but a friend of mine that plays violin professionally at Disneyland tried the AKG 411 and said that it was too midrangy for his tastes. He prefers a lavalier mic he paid $25 for at Radio Shack. He places the mic behind the bridge. He plays live with it and has no feedback problems. I have heard it and it sounds great. He said he prefers this mic over the expensive mics he has tried.D

Having played on both kits (I have both), I prefer the DM6 for right out of the box performance. The SD5x has more on-board voices. however, it requires more in the way of set-up and I think the sound quality of the DM6 is superior. The pads are similar in construction and quality. Adjusting the sound parameters is much simpler on the DM6. ALSO and most important, the bottom line! The SD5X is at least 2x the cost of the DM6 while not offering any real appreciable extra value. I used both the SD5x and the DM6 for teaching drum lessons. I have owned the DM6 for well over a year and my drum students have varying degrees of skill. I have never had a single problem with the DM6 and purchased it at Costco for $199.99. I have had to replace a cymbal on the SD5x.

Would be adequate for street corner or subway playing. Subway acoustics are fantastic with overdrive. About 30 foot radius of good volume...fades after that. Sound quality is true to that of the Marshall name.

Either amp is great for practice when you don't have to fill a large room. I liked the Spider IV 120 sound so that prompted my purchase of this amp. I use it after hours at home and in my apartment in AR on weekends. I get great sound and the power doesn't bother the neighbor or the wife when she's down stairs.
