About Spectre Sound Studios:
I'm Glenn Fricker, engineer here at Spectre Sound Studios. I love making records, and after doing it for sixteen years, I want to pass on what I've learned. On my channel you can find tutorials on how to record guitar, bass, real drums and vocals. There's reviews and demos of tube amps, amp sims, drums, mics, preamps, outboard gear, and plugin effects.
We've covered Moon on the Water, played Bias FX, given you the absolute best in Stupid Musician Texts, ranted & raved about bass guitar, and this channel is where The Eagle has Landed.
Everything you've wanted to learn about recording Hard Rock & Heavy Metal can be found right here on this channel!
I also respond to your comments & questions: The best make it into the SMG Viewer's Comments series of videos. Loads of fun, lots of laughs.

@@JoelSebastianMoreno you don't need to explain anything about smartphones to me bud. I review and fix electronic devices, including all kinds of smartphones for a living. I use a Redmi Note 7 Pro myself too if you're wondering. Like I said, only a handful smartphone brands don't include headphone jacks anymore. Galaxy S10, Mi Note 10, ASUS ROG 2, Huawei P30 are all high end devices which have headphone jacks. Devices like Pixel, S20 Ultra and iPhones can afford to ditch the headphone jack because they know their buyers can afford to spend extra money on proprietary hardware. Then there are some devices that ditch the 3.5mm jack in favor of waterproofing. USB C is more waterproof than a 3.5mm jack. One of prime complaints of the Mi A1 was it wasn't very waterproof. Hence they did it.

i am missing a lot of my high-end hearing, and had difficulty hearing what was so bad during the A/B testing (full band mix, changing cab sim?). is that what the real issue is? (aliasing in the high end, or noise at particular high frequencies). i instantly regretted buying a Spider IV 15 for my daughter's first guitar due to the awful distortion (I can't find a good setting). I actually like Roland MicroCube GX, and THR10X. Strangely, I play microtonal guitars, in part because the not-quite-in-tune-ness of the standard fret locations drives me crazy. But a lot of these reviews, I don't hear this wide gulf between good and bad gear just from the amp alone. What really does it for me is those little bends of notes in a chord to get a beating-free timbre; particularly with more distortion added.

We recently purchased the Line 6 Spider V (240), the Line 6 Amplifi (150), as we as the Line 6 Firehawk FX pedal for our band earlier this year, and they're all pretty amazing... A huge turn around in tonal clearity and sharpness compared to the real practice amps we started out on. The ability to model hundreds of different amps is really helping us dial in the tone we are looking for, for when we wanna make the next upgrade. Theres plenty of plus's to buying the more powerful updated versions of the Line 6 series, in my opinion. \m/

I haven't heard the isolated tracks, so you're probably right that the presence of the bass guitar is messing with my ears (damn bassists). That said, I do have to agree as much as I like the Master of Puppets sound, it's not the sound I'd chase if I was going to recreate Metallica's tone.

Francisco Zarabozo Switching completely to wireless is better.* You don’t have to do this, but try just ditching all ports where possible for at least a week (use Bluetooth headphones (even cheap skullcandy ones will do perfectly), wireless charging (if your phone supports that), make use of the cloud, just anything that doesn’t require ports), then switch back.
@Zarabozo 6 жыл бұрын
Nath m Plunk - As I said, having wireless available is great, but being limited to it is really not. It isn't about me not knowing the benefits. I actually work in technology and develop software for a living (and have been doing it for the last 18 years, so, believe me, I'm always familiar with the latest technology and I use it daily). I can think of A LOT of situations where having a wired connection to something (power, communication, internet, whatever you want) is way better or your only option. Apple removing that jack had nothing to do with pushing people to use wireless, but pushing people to having to buy wireless gear and adapters. Almost all other brands offer the same wireless technology but still give you an analog port, which is simply great to have available. Also, many things degrade in quality or speed over wireless channels, making it a convenient but imperfect solution for several applications.

And they sounded just like the Spider, maybe worse. I never understood why a beginning guitarist with no money who didn't sound good anyway had to have an amp like this inflicted on them. It's always been a rule apparently. It's a crime against humanity.

Great review, the fake-outs totally work for me too, when I thought I was listening to the spider, it really helps the context sink in. I also love the ode to Office Space at the end, fantastic!!!

A friend of mine who never stuck with guitar let me keep his 50 watt Spider III and it is honestly a really nice solo practice amp. I would never use it in a band setting even for rehearsals, but it beats playing acoustically
@CoTeCiOtm 5 жыл бұрын
Yeah, can't complain if you got it for free, it's better than nothing! A friend of mine used a Spider II to demo some tunes many years ago and on that context, the amp did a decent job, although of course those songs really came to life later when they recorded them with a JCM800 and real drums.

I was gifted one of these without knowing too much about it. I thought it sounded good to me, and the tinny and overly gained sound could be fixed by adjusting the treble and gain knobs. I can see why you don’t like it but if you really take the time to sit down with it and look at some of the settings then you can see that it is a fine amp. I just stumbled upon your channel and i like the content you produce.

I wish my dad could see some of these. I mentioned wanting to buy a fender rumble 25 cause i dont own a bass amp and he told me to get a line 6 spider. Hes 57 and been playing guitar since he was 8. Ive never questioned his guitar gear advice until that day

As an owner of some Line 6 products I have to say they aren't quite as bad as they're made out to be. They get an especially bad rap because the stock patches are ass (they really need to hire someone like Ola to dial in a few patches before release), but if you scrap those and play with the settings for a while they don't sound *terrible*.
@tferraro1474 7 жыл бұрын
alfother Ola now has patches available from what I saw on his review. It seems some people who review gear have a predetermination whether they admit it or not.
@alfother 7 жыл бұрын
Sure and his patches sound 100 times better than any stock metal patches (and even it is pretty basic). But I do think line 6 is losing its position as the "ok for the price" product because they keep putting out shit like this.

Dainius Vyšniauskas I know. But this ACTUALLY HAPPENED. His dads band used Line 6, so just because of that he bought one, even after I showed him the $200 tube amp video. Goes to show that lead guitar players are just a bunch of fucking wankers. Then again, I'm a useless cunt, so whatever.
