LIne 6 spider, I wouldn't take if you were paying me to take. The amps from this company have loads of frills and gimmicks with digital fun. But it depends... are you playing in a band.. if so, get the marshall. The Line 6 just does not cut over a drummer. The W and speakers might say it does, but I've played with and known people who bought and owns a LIne 6 and hates it (he uses the word hate here with intent )
The Marshal is real. I personally don't like a lot of Line 6 anything (the Dl4 delay is good, that's all I've come across). It has all sorts of cool functions, and I think that is an impressive display of technology from Line 6. I would rather the grass roots, elbow greese Marshal amps. Looking at the amp, it doesn't need an OD pedal. It's got 2 channels, one is clean, the other is overdrive (this is Marshal afterall, it's going to give you balls). It might have a footswitch, if not, then you may need to purchase one. A good distortion box is good to have either way.
But then.. I wouldn't buy a Marshal amp anyway.
Personal preference.
