CALABASAS, California, April 23 /PRNewswire/ --

- Fully loaded, battery-powered addition to the Spider family -

Line 6, Inc. (http://www.line6.com), the industry leader in amp modeling technology, announced today that Micro Spider, the traveling guitarist's best friend, and a potent addition to the best-selling Spider III family of modeling amplifiers, has begun shipping and is now available worldwide.

Micro Spider boasts intuitive functionality, total versatility and sensational tone. Featuring an assortment of brilliant amp models, Smart Control FX interface (including reverb, chorus, tremolo and more) and a precise and sensitive tuner, Micro Spider offers attitude and flexibility unmatched by amps more than twice its size. Plus, lightweight and portable, Micro Spider retains a unique flexibility: it's always at your side whenever and wherever inspiration strikes.

Packed into this raucous little box is quite a bit of muscle: the sound of six C batteries pushing six watts of screaming electricity through a 6.5" speaker has never sounded so furious. And with a Spider-style direct output, Micro Spider is perfect for practicing with headphones and easy direct recording. Whether at home or at the beach, in the studio or the back of the tour bus, this is the world-class Line 6 experience.

"Micro Spider is loud, fast and out-of-control," remarks Darrell Smith, Line 6 Product Line Manager. "The combination of flexibility, convenience and sheer Spider III ferocity makes Micro Spider as powerful as it is portable."

MSRP: US$195
