All user reviews for the Line 6 LowDown Studio 110

I've played bass professionally for 44 years. I currently play in a praise band in a local church and also do studio work. I favor rock but have played just about every style, even -- shame -- disco. Favorite players include Paul McCartney, James Jamerson, Tony Levin, Chris Squire, Joe Osborn, Bob Glaub and Sting.

A small, lightweight combo amp. Covered in dark gray carpeting with vinyl corners; black metal grille. Top-mounted controls and jacks include 1/4' input; active/passive switch (-10DB pad); Drive, Bass, L-Mid, Hi-Mid, Treble; Octo Comp; Master Vol.; Headphone out (1/4'); CD in (1/8'); four amp/cabinet model pushbuttons: Clean; RandB; Rock; Grind. Rear panel includes XLR out with ground lift switch (takes the cabinet model sound to the board); preamp out; power cord socket and power switch.


Purchased in 2005 from Musiciansfriend. I needed a small, portable amp for practice, small gigs and possibly for studio work. MSRP: $349.99 Price paid: $225 (B stock -- box had been opened).

This amp puts out a lot of sound from a small package. I have used it outdoors with a small combo and had bass players come up to say how amazingly loud it is for its size. It handles a B string with ease. Three of the four amp model presets are very usable for me: Rock (very punchy); RandB (think Motown); and Clean (a clean Brit sound with presence -- my favorite setting.) Grind sounds, um, grindy -- very distorted with lots of high end. Not my metal cup of tea. Line 6 says the models are 'inspired by' the '74 Ampeg SVT (Rock); the Ampeg B-15 'Fliptop' combo (RandB); the Eden Traveler (Clean) and a distorted SansAmp through an SVT mixed with a clean DI signal (Grind). Perosnally, I'd prefer a an overdriven Marshall tube head for Grind, but that's just me. There's also a 'secret' Brit model that can be achieved by following instructions in the owner's manual.

Press the RandB and Rock buttons together to get a Synth setting. Synth uses the amp's volume, tone and Octo Comp knobs to manipulate envelope, wave shape and octave parameters for some 'interesting' sounds. Octave down is particularly nice, envelope sounds. less so. The Octo Comp compressor does its job nicely with minimal noise. A tube overdrive sound can be achieved by running the Drive control high and leaving the master volume down.

You can program your own presets by tweaking knobs and holding a preset button down for two seconds. Factory presets can be recalled if you make a horrible mistake or decide 'Suicidal Distorted Dragon Tail Thrash' isn't that great a tone after all.

The only negatives I can find in the Studio 110are slight hiss from the headphone jack, and the lack of parcticality form its Synth section. Not many usable sounds unless you're a fan of '70s 'yow-yow' envelope filtering. And the Synth and amp model presets aren't footswitchable, so on-the-fly live changes aren't possible unless you want to bend over and play bass one-handed while pressing buttons.

Construction seems solid and fine. I've read opinions stating that the cabinet is made from inferior materials, but I have used this amp weekly for practices with no problem and for the occasional gig without problems. If you're loading it in and out of a truck every night, maybe it won't hold up, but that's not what the amp is designed for.

The Line 6 Lowdown Studio 110 delivers what it promises: decent preset amp models at the touch of a button plus the ability to create more of your own. CD in coupled with headphone out makes it ideal for practicing along with recordings, and the preamp and XLR outs make recording easy if you're looking for a cabinet sound rather than straight DI. It has served me well in a number of light rock or church settings and puts out a ton of low end from a small package.

Modeling amp (transistor), which is given for 75 watts for a size of 30cm x 30cm x 30cm.
4 amp simulations + 1 + 1 hidden keyboard (read the manual)
For further description, read the product directly
https://fr.line6.com/lowdown/studio110.html

In terms of connectivity, there is a jack with a -10 db to switch to if you have a low active or passive. A built-dI, which uses the same principle as a simulation of Staff for POD, a mini jack for connecting an MP3 player and a headphone jack.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is not easy! at first, we seek, but a small passage through the manual once you understand the principle, we can really get the settings you want. The réglase is done by six pots, the Drive, a highly efficient compressor and finally Bass, Low Med Med High, treble, and especially from one simulation to another!
Where is really the foot is being able to do its setting, and to save it!
By reading the manual though, you can also change the first amp simulation, by replacing the clean brit, which offers its really A cozy, a test ...

SOUNDS

Then there is simple, but happiness ... Of course we should not expect to have low intra-patient, but against, to work in again, at home or in config bar / cafe is the ideal for me!
It is 30cm X 30cm X 30cm, and its size is really sending the steak! We especially sound very clean, very clear who types in the mid-bass, and treble that can be good if slamming it is needed.
Despite being a modeling amp, I find the sound to a very personal grain, which is good but also requires the receiver to test whether it is appropriate or not.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for several weeks, and it's happiness, I tip for those looking for a little amp, very easy tranportation, powerful for size, quality and above all for a price not huge.
I found it to € 279 on playback, and frankly quality / price ratio, there is no better ... I hesitated with a Roland Cube 100, or a 75W Ibanez, Ben I do not regret my choice!

Transistor amp w 75 hp with a 10 inch. Proper connection and multiple outputs see the manual. The settings are quite confusing at first, reading the manual is more than recommended. The effects are correct 4 +1, settings: saturation, tone controls (4), a compressor effective volume. Headphone out, CD/MP3 input, XLR output for the sound system with simulation of capture by a microphone, an output jack for an extra amp 6.35 (reinforcement of extreme bass!) Or the sound system. We clearly see the shades and colors even the sound that is unique to the amp. Like all effects, it should not be abused if the sound quickly becomes dirty.

UTILIZATION

After reading and reflection, we must seek the sound you want and compare. Bad point for synth module that I find it odd and did not belong here except for keyboards and drum machine (my opinion), why not?. The manual is well written too see amber when compared to other brands.

SOUNDS

You can play all styles, he responds well to the attacks and what punch, lack of subwoofers, I used the 38 cm but for 25 cm, it descends very low frequency. The headphone output pressure with a shame because the sound is clean and detailed. It reproduces well the sounds of the jaguar bass (fender) in both active and passive.

OVERALL OPINION

Very good amp to rehearse and play with friends, it approximates the ideal size, power, serious, and has a good value for money, it ay better (more neutral) and much much more. I found this amp in the studio by chance test of a department store, he was with the guitar amps!. I was looking for a little amp for the bass and play again at home in a habitable space in a small box I was held back by the prices. I think it's a bass amp family that low down to the sound the least colorful of which surprised me or my choice. I will soon test the connection to plug another bass amp (a 38 cm) and make another post.

UTILIZATION

This amp is simple and effective. Connection of power, you plug the bass is lighter and it purrs. The panel settings and easily accessible. the settings are accurate.

Manuel: I saw that there was a difference between an explanation in French / Dutch / German and English to move to the simulation Brit (= hidden bonus). Apparently you lose your sound if you want customized return to clean ... weird ... to verify

SOUNDS

This amp is really great. This is my first match but the sound in my head. I play all styles and here all the sounds I use. Finally, the grind is not my thing. I prefer well posed. It is therefore a matter of taste. My favorite is the R & B that has a lot of power.

Despite these 75W, I can tell you that this amp has something to say. Whether the seller, me or my musicos, we all agree that we ship out without flinching, and this at 5.5/10 volume. So 8 / 10 is too many for my own use with battery electric.

I play a Fender Standard Jazz Bass Mexico and it sounds great. I can easily change the sound on my bass and amp.

Some people say that this amp hide your mistakes of the game I do not agree. The sound is very detailed and I have to pay more attention to my game This is a good amp to get better technically.

Regarding the simulation Synthesizer, make your own opinion. I think it will sympa.Il beacoup setting because there are 12 different waveforms and 6 or 7 buttons that can rotate to change the sound. What you should remember is that the synth should not play two notes at once. The sound that comes out is inaudible. You must therefore learn to play properly.

OVERALL OPINION

I just bought the amp 1 week ago. I need to keep the bass in a band with electric drums. I wanted an amp, lightweight with good sound and power. Line 6 performs very well the terms of reference for a small fee (279 EUR).

I had thought of a Roland Cube 100 to 399 EUR or Ashdown Five Fifteen EUR 300 but the two are too big for only 25W more power ...

I put 10/10 on everything because I'm really sawed off by the price / quality ratio / size. The rate of fun foods is élevé.Je 9 / 10 on the overall opinion because there is always better but more expensive

I had already played on the Ampeg, Markbass and other in-store. I do not have the budget nor the talent nor the roadies to give me a 8x10 stack. For now this amp good enough for me. If I play live I can always use the XLR output to plug into the PA.

If I had to take a snob and a achter anyway "" TRUE "" amp or no writing would be a Line 6 combo Markbass 250 W but in fact I would spend 3 or 4 times while the engineer I would take her anyway on the mixer.

Post November 25 2008

I tested the amp with an acoustic drums in a local repeat of 20m ² to 75 W ... it did bien.Par transparency I admit that a few more watts would have been nice. I put the knob on 3 / 4 to stay reasonable and not to tire the cone ofSuite. I think to repeat 100-150W is fully suffisant.Il must not break your back.

Moral: this amp is enough for repeats but to swing a plug in the room on the sound system.

First of all, let me say that I play fretless, and only in clean fingers. This amp is rather large rock market spot, like plectrum at the bottom so I do a priori wrong ... Requires curiosity, interesting concept and helping (compact, powerful compressor and reverb with the cool fretless) I still went to the craft.
I did not buy, just tried for an hour in good conditions.
Correct power, minimum connections, no remote damage. No output to external hp.
No sound either ...

UTILIZATION

Ben is not much to be put in the tooth, you can not program two times the same sound with different settings for example. It is a setting for each sound and basta, not practical.
In the basic sounds, 4, toss the buttons does not change at all the sound and what I heard was simply not good whatever I do. United States Jazzbass warwick corvette standard fretless, so it's not used low eh.

SOUNDS

Awful. Dull, not dynamic, confusing, really I do not see what you can find an amp like this. To learn the bass is downright negative, no details. Marshall MB30 is a far more realistic, and if you like the effects take a roland cube 30 bass that it sounds enjoyable in such small size!
Not advisable, the line6. And too expensive, the coup ...

OVERALL OPINION

Well, this is the first line6 bass, one can imagine an improvement for the following as it did between the first two generations of spider.
But I think so too, the base is too dull, it's not the lipstick that will fix the table ...

As such, this amp is bad, learn about it I see it.
The market is vast, nemesis-roland-marshall-Hartke all offer much better plans for less.
Also avoid Behringer, sounding not at all either, the analog version line6 it seems ...
I put zero, not advisable at all.
Following the severity of this test, I'm going back with my test ld110 low for me to be more objective. Obviously I did not like the first time ...

What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)?
Transistor amplifier, modlisation.

What is the power dlivre?
75 Watts.

What connection?
Between Jack with Switch-10db, between Jack (MP3 player for example), headphone out, preamp out, and XLR DI with AIR Line6 home, convenient for recording because the sound is to j treated well.

What rglages the effects? ...
Rglages bass, low-mid, hi-mid, treble and master rglage.
Rglage Drive, and Octo Comp.
The sounds on offer are Clean, R & B, Rock and Grind, which reproduce clbres amp.
There is also a SynthBass when you activate it using the buttons to change rglages bass -> cutoff, low-mid -> resonance, hi-mid -> envelope, treble -> attack / decay, octo-comp -> waveform.
I think you can store 4 programs, which correspond to four types of amps so it uses a single memory rglage for clean, one for rock etc. I did not test for more than a save on the other hand, I guess he must remain supported over time.

On paper this amp seems to be a good amp for home, but when you s'intresse a little more range prs Line6, it seems that it is not complete, which is frustrating. MODELS compared to above was not a "Brit" or the effects, and you can not connect it to pdalier type FBV control. Taking the Floor Pod, we all effects, pdalier, brit and effect, we would have AIM frankly find it all on this little amp, especially considering the price. Well, there is an XLR output, it is convenient.


UTILIZATION

The configuration is it simple?
Config very simple, you understand immediately how it works, no need to read the manual, if not to know what are the effects.

Do you get a good sound easy?
Frankly, I had a bad impression with this amp ds beginners. I have a lot of tweaking the rglages on bass, and test several config disable the ct of between 10db, by moving the knobs in all directions, activating d disable the compressor ... Beginners to hard to have good sound.
In clean r & b or a fine, but we have ds too much drive, with Rock and Grind it sounds pretty awful, I think that was just the amp and HP, the modlisation should not be bad, in fact, and if you plug the XLR output on a sound system is a dj sound better, but with the amp and the HP way is frankly trs, and SR 520 sounds even when not hurt, so I think that that is his fault.

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
I have not had the hands, if it is like the Bass Pod XT, it's damn, but I think we can do without, even when it is relatively simple.

In short it is easy to use, but not sound terrible, I put the average because in clean and r & b has spent little prs.


SOUNDS

Is it your style of music?
Amp modlisation So yes and no. I'm not calm, but I can not use the grind, rock the limit, but not all the passages, it is not natural.

With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Test with an Ibanez SR-520 Mk1 quip micro Barto.

What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
- The Clean sounds not bad, purports to be an Eden Traveler, if you push the bass and sounds a little lowmid prs. I mounted the lowmid and highmid gnral in, and I fall a little bass and treble, and has ben dj sound worse, not aa dynamic, on the other hand for the game in fretless, the limit should be not bad, because much less attack, but suddenly you say "a chorus would have done", not the effect on it.
- R & B sound with some rglages we get a usable sound, a little more serious in my memory, but not standard, it purports to be a B-15 Flip Top, 1968, I never test this bug so I can not say the sound is not too bad.
- The Rock's punk rock done quickly, even with the drive at least the sound of a fawn saturates not natural, it's supposed to replicate a SVT 74, SVT I test n ' have nothing to do with, the TRS is synthetic and not enjoyable. I know it's modlisation, but I have a Bass Pod XT is much more crdible on this type of simulation.
- On the Grind is saturated all the time, to simulate a SansAmp PSA-1 with distortion feeding a SVT could be a INTERESTED, but it was nice to turn the buttons, disable the compressor, rgler bass, there's a synthetic, and gives the impression that the amp corrects the sound for the smooth and suddenly take away any momentum, nothing to do with what a amp m transistor can give me if he cares effects in it, it's flat, I thought we find the sound on some songs by Rage Against The Machine for example, bin no.
- Synth Bass Sound, it is not bad in the sense that the little fact that rglages can happen quickly play something audible (because it's boring synth pedals r Gler), may be nice, I have a synth bass Boss from home, I find it better, but I also have a Bass Pod XT that has not synth sounds terrible, and many gal re rgler, the easier it is.

What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?
The Clean and R & B are used, the rock boundary, and the grind is horrible.



OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
I did not buy this amp, I test 30-40 minutes in the store starting plutt dj excited because I used a lot of stuff and I have a line6 Bass Pod XT which ensures a lot, I pushed her a little because j'tais alone, with a low 4 strings in an Ibanez SR 520 active micro Barto Mk1.
What is the particular feature you like best and least?
That has to go out XLR's good plan for home recording, the AIR technology is inside is effective with other line6 products I test, therefore a must do as the c ' is easy to carry, and convenient for the home.
Against by a lack of effect compared to other brand products, we can not put a pedalboard so that when you have 4 memory on the amp one would be able to switch easily open title.
Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No, not equivalent MODELS, I tried that in the line 6 amp modlisation. I know that Roland actually but I have not seen in stores.
In the same kind of format has a Markbass MicroMark dj that sounds better, but it's even quite expensive.

How do you report qualitprix?
In dpart I would have said okay, and given the lack there compared to other amps, or Floor Pod, I think it's a bit expensive. AIM If you have this amp, look at the ct of the opportunity, because I think it's nine not given.

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
I did not buy it and blow me a little dgout I would compare with the LowDown SERIES SERIES Spider II guitar. I think the Spider II sound pretty bad, whether the small 15 watts of a friend, or the head of 2x75 deuxime guitarist in my group, is not at all. J'espre we will eventually have products for bass as good as HD147 or Vetta.

Offer INTERESTED, but I think the sound of the amp and HP gche modlisation all the work, if it is to play with headphones or plug into a PA system, both to take a pod, the Floor Pod is cheaper, and the old Bass Pod XT is not too expensive second-hand, there are more sounds, more rglages, and rendering is much better.

UTILIZATION

I would say childish, it's simple no frills, except for amplification "brit" is hiding (read the manual download on the official site, nothing to do with Manuel, who is the seller who know nothing) ??, go figure! Ha yes! economy of a button, pfff all expensive nowadays mostly plastic and chrome, in passing, did not look like a rock solid ...
Otherwise it's lite, I would not say it has little to hang around the neck like walkman but for the intended use is cool.Pour info 11kg

SOUNDS

The sound is colored, for the purists, there's nothing move has voir.Quelque silk modeling, fidgeting with the wheel, we just find a sound that corresponds to the variegated musical current, the bass, mid bass to the midrange treble (low-mid, hi-mid) has the treble knob I turned in all directions without any changement.Ceci said the sound is very slamming slap in 10 "and therefore requires the bass lacks depth , 30 cm3, normal me would you say, not gonna worry about even in fat (see the neighbors) care not too Bourines rope SI, bass has 5 strings, AC knob thoroughly saturated, had no time to try to repeat or mini concert.Pour functions "grind" and "synth," which are not my cup of tea, I just do not tell you to benefit my amp buzzer, so back in the market.

OVERALL OPINION

Here I must remain as neutral possible.Utiliser only 2 days due to the buzz, I was able to get a general idea, we often say that the first idea is good, and so I did not had time to deepen and get used to the "thing" ... Anyway!
I do not start NO I would do no such choice, tater of the other stuff you quickly understand that we do is within the average range, a price / performance ratio that does not do it and that is not well 75kw that this changes the game, other brands for 100/150 € more are known, it is more expensive and more about, I hope I am wrong and that time I will confirm this.
Conclusion:

UTILIZATION

Yes the manual configuration is simple and clear enough.

This gives a nice sound for the price there is no problem for Bassists attention to the 5 string Hp is too small.

SOUNDS

I play with a Jazz Bass V American Deluxe and a Jaguar bass.

On his own attention to the Cord If the block a little hp.

It gets a lot of his own is both dirtier.
