  • They sound like shit at low volume and through headphones. If you turn them up past 4 they sound awesome, as good as any other solid state amp.

  • I used one of these amps for like a decade from age 16 to 26. Pretty much stuck with either of the Metal options mostly and dialed my own tone from there. Occastionally I enjoyed using the red light insane setting to replicate the bridge riff of Telos from BTBAM lol

  • I have a spider 5 and Spider 3 the people that say they suck probably bought a broken one, have crappy amp settings, or messed it up some how

  • Man, I'd really like a bass amp with settings like that. I don't want to fool with getting pedals out and hooked up, but alas I don't think there are any

  • Great bedroom amps. For the time, you were getting unbelievable tone and range at the price point of those things. Even at a practice space, they sound pretty good.

    However, put a 57 in front of one and you'll know right away why they have a reputation for being junk.

  • It’s hated because it’s it’s good and cheap for beginners to get a taste of most of these standard FX without spending 500-1000

  • My first amp was a random johnson practice amp, I had that and a zoomg2 multi fx pedal for so long. I was so jealous of two of my friends that had these. Did you get a surprisingly okay tone with a zoom G2 pedal though. As a kid I was so confused by a lot of it, but went through the manual a few times and figured out that there's cab simulators compressors and everything in that little $100 pedal.

  • I don't remember anyone really hating them until the loud guy made a career out of it. They were generally regarded as good beginner/practice amps.
