Will I blow or rock it?

[seefingersrun]

I just bought the new line6 Spider III 150 combo and was wondering if I could connect extra external peddles to it. I really like the spider except that I think the distortion channels are limited and that most of those presets sound the same. I own a Boss GT6 peddle board and was thinking to connect it to my spider to ad some extra distortion to it. Would this blow or overload my spiders circuit board or would it rock the daylights out of it?

If not, can I at least connect a extennal EQ to colour those distortions?

i don't see a reason why it should blow with just a GT-6 connected to it.

You can run it just fine. The GT6 is just technically a preamp so it will not harm your amp in any way shape or form.

I suggest you just spend some more time finding a tone in the Spider that you like. First of all if you aren't getting enough distortion out of a Spider III, then your tone fucking blows because those amps have waaaay more gain than they even need.

The problem is not the level of distortion but that the colour or tone of the distortion models aren`t really my style. I agree with you KFW, the spiders got more than enough distortion.

I bought it for band practice and was just dissapointed that I could not find that crisp sound I get from my half-stack.

I play a Eclipse with a pair of emg81`s and Ernieball hybrid slinky strings, so I hope that tells you that my tone isn`t supposed to suck.

should be fine if you can pull it off.
