true on both counts.
i was expecting to loathe the new spiders, and i didnt. i wouldnt buy one, however for home use they are decent lil amps.
prada, the Cube's have enough distortion - its knowing how to EQ the amp well that will help most.
the last time i got to use a cube (cube 30), i didnt know most of what i know now about amps and EQ'ing and guitars etc, so i dont know how convincing i could get one to sound. R-fier setting was fun though
