You should have just pointed out how much taller you are, then carried the amp home in your palm.

I once said I wouldn't play 40 quid for a second hand EH Octave Multiplexer cause it only had 2 rubber feet. I got it for Â£30.

I put the two of these together too.

what's the difference b/w digital modelling & solid state anyway.

About 30 years and a tiny computer.

solid state just means something uses transistors rather than tubes. digital means the analog signal (a sound wave represented by alternating current) is converted into an approximation of the wave using 1s and 0s.

You make it sound like some kind of sorcery

yes, witches gather around a bubbling digital to analog converter and throw in some 1s and 0s to conjure up the devil's music. if you listen very closely to your line 6 you can hear them chanting their cursed verses.

full transaction just took place. I got my line6 spider sitting here. it's a beauty ! (well, it's ugly as fuck but it sounds soooper)

Big thanks go to fran for opening my eyes to the amp. I would have never even looked at the amp had it not been at progfest this year. So cheers mate.
