Ok so im sick of my Line 6 Spider II. 125 wat iirc .. i forget.

It was cool at first but it sounds soulless and bland now. Its Distortion annoys the fucks out of me now for some reason and isnt very clear even on low setting.

Whats a good upgrade to get that's versatile for death metal , jazz or w/e and in the 600-1000$ price range.

Want something that screams and blows the Line 6 amp out of the water.

Im looking at a

B-52 LS-100 100W and B-52 AT-412 480W 4x12 Mono/Stereo Guitar Cabinet right now.

Any input?

anything solid state will sound just like your line 6

If you're looking only for screaming gain, you can get a used Peavey XXX 212 combo for a decent price. It will blow your face off.

This.

I just recently purchased a Diamond Nitrox head/cab/cab

But outta your price range.

I've messed around on the newer spider III's and they weren't as bad as the old spider II's.

Your best bet is to go into a shop and try out all of the amps in your price range for awhile.

You can usually tell a bad amp from a good one by how well it sounds clean

If it sounds amazing clean you can rack/foot it to hell and have a killer setup.

If it just sounds good dirty then you should turn around and find something else. I'll just pm you this now.

I agree with eebay though. Read what the seller says about the amp. Most of the time they describe the sounds they got out of it and what they liked, unless it's a shop in which case it's bog-standard "tizliektotalyub2r"
