Line 6 Spider Valve 112 Bogner Combo

This second hand amp is in great condition

The Line 6 Spider Valve 112 is a unique hybrid combo amp that combines Line 6’s digital amp modeling technology with the classic warmth of tube amplification. Co-developed with Reinhold Bogner, known for his high-end boutique amps, the Spider Valve aimed to give players the best of both worlds — digital flexibility and authentic tube tone.

Build & Specs

• Power: 40 watts through a pair of 6L6 power tubes and 12AX7 preamp tubes

• Speaker: One Celestion Vintage 30 12” speaker

• Effects: Over 20 built-in effects including delays, modulations, and reverbs

• Amp Models: Over a dozen amp models including American clean, British crunch, high-gain metal, and boutique-style tones

• Footswitch Compatibility: Works with FBV shortboard for hands-free control

• Construction: Solid and rugged, suitable for gigging, though it’s fairly heavy (~50 lbs)

Tone & Performance

What sets the Spider Valve 112 apart is how it merges tube dynamics with Line 6’s modeling:

• Clean Tones: Rich and warm, thanks to the tube power section. It feels responsive and “alive,” unlike many all-digital amps.

• High-Gain Tones: Sharp and saturated, with plenty of sustain and articulation. Great for rock, metal, and lead work.

• Modulation/FX: Built-in effects are surprisingly usable — especially delays and reverbs. Not boutique-quality, but versatile and tweakable on the fly.

• Dynamic Response: Feels more like a traditional amp compared to older Spider series models. You can ride the guitar’s volume and get convincing tube breakup.

Usability

• User Interface: Easy to dial in tones quickly, with straightforward controls and programmable presets.

• Live/Studio Use: Excellent for gigging guitarists who want an all-in-one solution — from bedroom practice to stage volume.

• Recording: With Line 6’s cab modeling, it records well directly, but shines best mic’d up to capture the tube warmth.

Pros

• Hybrid design: digital flexibility + tube warmth

• Versatile amp models and built-in effects

• High-quality Celestion speaker

• Ideal for players who want one amp for many styles

The Line 6 Spider Valve 112 is a great choice for players who want a powerful, flexible combo amp that feels and sounds like a tube amp, but with the convenience of digital effects and modeling. It’s not quite as refined as today’s high-end modeling gear, but its tone and gig-readiness make it a smart choice for working musicians, especially those who play across a wide range of genres.
