    How much money you willing to spend?
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I wouldn't get a Line 6 amp. They're all solid state and your sound will suffer as a consequence. Answer me these questions three and we can make you a real recommendation:

    (1) What kind of music are you playing?
    (2) How serious are you about playing? (ie novice, beginner, intermediate)
    (3) How much cash do you have?

    Line-6 Amplifiers = CRAP
    If you go that route get the Bogner version.

    Line 6 are solid state amps, I'd stick with a tube amp if I were you. You get a lot nicer sound and better distortion out of them.

    Not to mention, better tone. I'm going to side with Uncle Neil on this one.

    Dont buy a line 6, i sold mine after 6 months to the guitarist of my old band, he still hasnt paid me for it but i couldnt give a shit, i was gonna throw the amp through a window eventually, i hated it!!! Its looks good and seems attractive to buy but theres A LOT more better options out there even if your on a tight budget, the amp is like a hot girl with a bad personality

    I also owned a Line 6 Spider....I absolutely hated it. I sold it after a few months and now play through either a Fender Deville or a Blues Deville
    There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

    once worked in a guitar shop and we got a line 6 half stack in and it was awful...the amount of interference from inbuilt effects and just the generally quality.....get a tube amp.......look hard enough and you will find a beauty somewhere like mine .....£90 in a pawn shop!
