Marshallians and plauta boogies and MOOSH compared to Voodoo. Any Voodoo AMP or MODDED AMP by Voodoo destroys and other overated AMP you won't know until you've owned one!

as to your question about the spider 2 amps bloodline, no. Line 6 never had and probly never will use tubes in thier amps, and I'll tell you why. But first I must ask, do you even know what's so special about line 6 and other modeling amps? They don't get thier tone from solid state circutry or tube circutry. They're computers that are putting your signal through an array of mathmatical calculations to make your tone come out as close to the preset perameters of the modeled amp.
Here's how it works.
Line 6 takes an amp they want to model and plug it into a computer that writes out the signal and then they take the amp through a series of tests to see how the amp responds to different voltages and they also test the funtionality of all the knobs. Then they take all this data and cram it into thier software that then in turn takes your signal and matches what the modeled amp would be doing.
How accurate is it? Well, as accurate as computers of the time are. Right now many people who own high price amps that are modeled say that they can't here a difference between thier origonal and the line 6. And other people say they're total crap. Well, in coming years with as good and cheep as computers are getting expect at any rate for modeling amps to really overrun tube amps. They're cheeper, come with more, more versatile, and easier to replace. And the best part? Taking a vintage amp that never came with reverb and sticking some good ol' spring reverb through it.
As you can tell, I'm a huge fan of modeling amps, but I'm also a diehard tube lover. I'd probly never play a "solid state" amp.
And as to good amps being good or bad for lead/rythem... well, you've just found a key reason I hate so many popular tube amps. You see, any GOOD amp can do both no problem, it has nothing to do with the amp's nature, but rather the build quality. And what does it come down to? Knobs. I've seen one knob amps (DR. Z) that are more versatile than many other tube amps out there, all because that one knob can really control the tone of the amp. With a good amp every .5 of your 10 should produce a genuine difference on every knob. Wanna know of an amp that could put almost ALL high gain amps to shame? The Bogner Ubershall. It's clean it better than any and as good as most. Drop all the tone knobs to 0 and it sounds like it's muted and turn them all to 10 and it really sounds like a tube amps that's just cranked. And it never distorts at all. 100 watts of clear headroom. Then the gain channel... oh man, lower the gain and presence way down and hear that blues/jazz tone that just thick enough to eat the raise the presence and hear that early rock tone and play good ol' johnny B. goode, raise the gain and play your favorite satch riff and it's just plain increadible. If you don't like the tone you're getting just fiddle with the tone knobs, it's there, you just gotta find it.
Amps like the bogner ubershall are what put 98% of amps out there to shame. I'm sorry, and modern marshall can't compete. Sure they do marshall really well, but what else? I don't want to sound like I'm playing a marshall through an entire gig. And the really sad part is that many guitarist wouldn't ever really know how great amps like the ubershall are becuase they don't understand touch. If you play soft it's very clean and then you smash down on those strings and tada, from clean to metal you've gone. This is the key to good lead, rythem amps.

VOODOO PEOPLE VOODOO marshilians and boogers are nothing to Voodoo P.S I tried the JSX and it was by far one of the most horrible AMP's I've ever played(Might of been in poor condition because my Sam Ash just ***s just about all there tube AMP's have dead beat tubes or the AMP has something wrong with it thats why I haven't seen a single tube AMP leave that store in 4 years). It's excellent for all types of music and has some very nice tech stuff,but if's your looking for a decent Metal distortion forget it.The tone of the distortion in general just blew and the clean didn't sound so clean more like a Fender clank but got a bit muddy when the volume got the slightest bit to high. The guitar on the ultra channel I think it was? It sounded robotic like the insane distortions you find on some transistor AMP's and it lacked gain. Voodoo's run smooth all the time and are the dream AMP for every genre and don't need any other peices of equipment to make them sound good.
