Line 6's original Spider Valve series got us very excited. Now the modelling giant has returned with the MKII series.

As with before, the amp is co-designed with Bogner, so you're potentially getting the best of both the digital and valve worlds.

Check out the audio demo below, recorded by Ed Mitchell. You can also find out what Ed thought of the Spider Valve MKII in Total Guitar issue 206, on sale 3 September.

I'm a freelance member of the MusicRadar team, specialising in drum news, interviews and reviews. I formerly edited Rhythm and Total Guitar here in the UK and have been playing drums for more than 25 years (my arms are very tired). When I'm not working on the site, I can be found on my electronic kit at home, or gigging and depping in function bands and the odd original project.
