  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Characteristics

  (Originally written by Nico66/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  - Amplification technology (tube, solid state, ...)?
  
  
  
  Everything has been already said...
  
  
  
  - Output power?
  
  
  
  It rated at 40 watts but it seems to be more because it's really loud.
  
  
  
  I miss a 20 watt operation switch.
  
  
  
  - What about controls, effects etc.?
  
  
  
  I won't say anything about effects...
  
  
  
  The finish quality is very good. It's a high-end product.
  
  
  
  That's not what disappointed me.
  
  
  
  Considering the features, this amp is very interesting... But it disappointed me when I played it...

  Utilization

  - What about settings?
  
  
  
  Very easy configuration. Just turn a few controls and you get a good sound.
  
  
  
  - Is it easy to get the right sound?
  
  
  
  It' all a matter of taste... Personally, the sound and effects of this amp disappointed me a lot...
  
  
  
  The clean sound is very good. Warm, perfect...
  
  
  
  The crunch sound isn't bad but you start hearing the amp's personality.
  
  
  
  The distortion disappointed me. This amp sound totally California!!! They ignored Marshall fans!! It's surprising coming from Mr Bogner because he used to tune Marshall amps in the beginning... But he only conceived the preamp stage of this amp, not the modelings...
  
  
  
  It supposed to include some British models but I'm still looking for them!
  
  
  
  - Is the user's manual clear and comprehensive?
  
  
  
  I took a look at it. I like Line 6 user's manuals, they are very easy to read.. It seems that people at Line 6 have lots of fun writing manuals...

  Sounds

  - Does it fit your music style?
  
  
  
  The amp is quite versatile... but I'm very disappointed because all modelings have the typical US sound.
  
  
  
  - Which guitar, bass or effects do you use?
  
  
  
  I tested it with a Gibson Les Paul Standard, a Strato Custom Shop, a Tele USA Standard and a PRS 513.
  
  
  
  - What kind of sounds do you get and which settings do you use ("crystal-clear", "fat", ...)?
  
  
  
  The clean sound is very warm and nice. The crunch sound isn't bad... but I miss a Marshall-like crunch... and even a typical Bogner sound... (the simulation is not comparable with a real Bogner amp).
  
  
  
  - Which sounds do you prefer / hate?
  
  
  
  I don't like the distortion... But guitarists who like the Mesa sound will love this amp.
  
  
  
  I also hate the chorus/flanger effect... It's really lousy and uninteresting... I'd rather have an amp without effects...

  Overall Opinion

  - How long have you been using it?
  
  
  
  I kept it three days (two days at home plus a live gig) and I brought it back to the store where I bought it.
  
  
  
  - Which features do you like the most / the least?
  
  
  
  I like the compact size, the finish quality and the warm tube sound.
  
  
  
  I'm very disappointed by the simulations (limited to typical US sounds).
  
  
  
  The effects are the worse!!! I'd rather have no effects!
  
  
  
  It's really silly to combine a chorus and a flanger and have independent tremolo and phaser effects... Can someone explain this to me??? It's impossible to get a good sound with this combination! And you cannot edit any parameter of the effects except for the volume...
  
  
  
  And its the same regarding delays... No editable parameters...
  
  
  
  - Did you try any other models before buying it?
  
  
  
  Of course. I've had many different amps. But this one's the first I've kept such a short time...
  
  
  
  It's much worse than a Vetta II!!
  
  
  
  - How would you rate its value for money?
  
  
  
  If you buy it knowing how it sounds, it's ok... And the manufacturing quality is very good... But avoid it if you are looking for something else rather than only US sounds or effects.
  
  
  
  - Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?
  
  
  
  Never!!
  
  
  
  I know some people will totally disagree with what I wrote.
  
  
  
  This amp is great for people who like US sounds and don't use any effects.
  
  
  
  If you like Bogner, Marshall and Soldano sounds, as well as a deep U2 or Malmsteen delay with a light chorus effect, etc...
  
  
  
  forget this amp and buy another one...

  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Characteristics

  (Originally written by Altaran8/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  
  
  
  
  I give it a 10 for the connection possibilities, the speaker (couldn't be better) and the very clean and classy finish.

  Utilization

  It cannot be easier!
  
  
  
  Just select your amp, edit your preset, and save it while depressing the channel you want. It's perfectly intuitive and I didn't need to read the user's manual.
  
  
  
  The effect settings are incredibly easy. I know you could get more precision with some pedals but it's more than enough.
  
  
  
  And as a bonus feature, you get an integrated chromatic tuner (which is not limited to EADGBE).
  
  
  
  You can choose among three pedals:
  
  
  
  - the FBV2 with two small knobs to switch from one preset to another.
  
  
  
  - the FBV Express with four preset buttons, tuner and wah/volume pedal
  
  
  
  - the FBV Shortboard which is expensive but allows you to control the amp with your foot! Really convenient and comprehensive.
  
  
  
  I give them a 9 for the price of the pedals.

  Sounds

  It's amazing!
  
  
  
  This amp will convince every digital technology detractor!
  
  
  
  To be more clear: it does everything you need.
  
  
  
  Fender, Vox, Mesa, Marshall. Every sound of every renowned amp brand is faithfully reproduced.
  
  
  
  Since I play almost every kind of music, it's perfect for me. Accurate and warm clean sound (do you feel the tubes?), smooth or aggressive crunch sound, heavy and sharp distortion... It's a real pleasure.
  
  
  
  Jazz, rockabilly, hard rock, thrash and heavy metal, everything is possible (of course you have to play the right guitar).
  
  
  
  The sound character of each guitar is perfectly reproduced.
  
  
  
  I play an Epiphone Les Paul Standard so I get a rather fat and heavy sound. I also own an Ibanez Tube Screamer 9 overdrive pedal which adds a different character to each model. Perfect!
  
  
  
  I have a weakness for the Mesa modelings because their distortion sound is really incredible, it's virtually identical to the original amps. It's wonderful to play solos.
  
  
  
  But watch out for the output volume: 40 watts of tube power are very loud and the Celestion Vintage 30 has a high efficiency! So watch out for the presets you want to use.
  
  
  
  I give it a 9 because perfection doesn't exist and there's nothing like the original amps... Although this amp comes really close!

  Overall Opinion

  I've been using mine for three weeks, but a friend of mine bought one several months ago so I had the chance to try it out before buying it.
  
  
  
  Its charm is being practical. The finish is perfect (thank you Bogner) and the sound is versatile and excellent.
  
  
  
  I previously owned several amps which where totally different but this one is definitely the best.
  
  
  
  UNBEATABLE value for money. Such quality at this price, it's almost a gift!
  
  
  
  For your information, you'll find the Celestion Vintage 30 speaker in Mesa amps and other high-class brands.
  
  
  
  Here, you get also a tuner, effects and 400 artist presets 36 of which can be edited.
  
  
  
  Of course I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
  
  
  
  Try it out if you don't believe me!

  snole's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Complete a good alternative."

  Characteristics

  Well I'll still do another deal:
  
  -Tube amplifier
  
  Power 40-watt
  
  3 button-adjustable bass middle treble
  
  Double-volume
  
  -400 And 36 customizable preset
  
  -Effect, delay, tape echo, sweep echo beat with power and flanger, tremolo, phaser
  
  -6 Channel clean, twang, blues, crunsh, metal, and insane, and all doubled
  
  -Tuner
  
  And finally, a knob of prescence.
  
  All send it with a cream of a celestion vintage 30 hp what more ... (integrated courses? Nan ...)
  
  Let's be frank

  Utilization

  manual I've never read so I discovered the following tuner I use 2 ...
  
  So we get it a very satisfying sound quickly, there is no more effective than the three sacred knob ... otherwise the preset sound funny, and too many ... not really useful.
  
  The establishment of the effect is clear and without fuss, plug and play has never been more meaningful with this line 6 ^ ^

  Sounds

  Haaaaaa finally, so yeah no surprise to those who have already read the other reviews, I put my stone building as it is similar.
  
  Being fatally allergic to line 6 at first I refused to try it, I quote
  
  - "Ugh line 6?" Nay my friends are eager for these cowardly feeling cold and too intense ... "
  
  Okay ... I apologize to line 6 ... Yes I try, yes I enjoy being plugged into it, do yell for my pleasure, I LOVE OUIIII LINE 6!!
  
  At least the series lamp ^ ^
  
  So my style of music ... blues with a good crunch that sends is good, filthy metal or sharp, it's good, for the cons to clean my impression is that it sometimes lacks potato .. . fonkeuh sad for.
  
  I play primarily on Epiphone les paul limited series and I love the crunch blah!
  
  On epiphone sg custom ex prophecy and emg and me love this amp.
  
  Then the sound hated the twang I do not really understand its usefulness, too much crunch for clean and not to asser blues I do not use so ever ...
  
  and finally his favorite crunch, metal, clean.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it extensively for almost six months, and coupled with a pedal mk II or more is really great! Namely the purchase of one of these pedal is almost mandatory ... too many preset settings ect.
  
  Before this one I tried a vox vt 100, blackstar ht 40 which sends and a typed above his british ^ ^, a haze marshmall 40 and an amp head peavey valve king.
  
  Some of his term in the past, not far but still, my choice is directed in line with many integrated effect that save me money all the acquisition of large pedal, but the sound did not budge and remains an excellent sound.
  
  I recommend it to all guitar aficionados eager to progress on a long term relationship with an amp that would largely the road a good model for line 6 beginning paw sent the crust!

  trepalium's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  everything has been said, but except one thing we would say there is no adjustment for the mix of effects, therefore not practical for the determination, no MIDI, no headphone jack, so a bit lightweight, but it will there is plenty to do. big power! AC is on!

  Utilization

  yes it is very simple, but it just very quickly anyway, no manual in my package, but the little download the Line 6 site, so no worries. you branch it sounds! we just read the reviews often! is true! not need to be a sound engineer for pleasure on with this amp! we just play with all the spider! from jazz to metal the most violent!

  Sounds

  yes it is very suitable for my style. power of the big spider valve is huge !!!!!! because I try outdoors and frankly it sends watt lamps are! For clean sounds nothing to say simulates the positron twang fender twin reverb, sound transparent clear, crystalline, limpid, warm, slamming through a very small saturation significantly. For the blues / rock / jazz, blues witness's position just orange, and one I Prefair because it mixes the fender and marshall amps, sound very rich, very light ... quite catchy. For metal, it's great!! AC sends watts position metal yellow (dual mesaboogie recrifier), harmonics fuse long and have a very nice natural saturation or if you just linger for hours playing with this one because it bite really very good! we shall soon for john petrucci, michael romeo or another guitarist and that style! . is the fluid flows through his fingers, kind of sound that pleases the ears! it is especially among the so be it! . I did not like the chorus / flanger together and not separated as the mk2. amp being a first generation, I think it goes very well change over the ans.d moreover, the mk2 has corrected some defects, but it is an opinion very presonnel ... a matter of taste which are specific to each of us. I do not denigrate this amp is absolutely fantastic! I love that! I really recommend it! and for those who point the spider valve and who speak evil, they had better consult a faster orl!!

  Overall Opinion

  I've since December 7, 2009, I play a PRS SE Custom 24, a les paul wsl, a relic strat by me. I try everything on the amp: marshall, fender, mesaboogie, vox, peavey, Hugh Ketner, carvin, soldano .. I forget ... . this one and an excellent investment! it's quality / price its unbeatable!! excellent response, timbre of the guitar play well respected! optimizes your game thanks to a very rich variety of sounds that makes you want to play all day on it. lamps are WELL!! is it shows!! its sounds very pro is now! to 429 euro in musicdestock including postage! is the best deal I've made so far! I do it again without any hesitation that purchase, eyes shut! for that which does not know this little gem ... here you go! it will fill you! you are in your modern or purisite jeu.ah if one more thing: I'm not ready to change the amp! but one big change on this one I'd change my mind, but anyway I would stay in line 6, make for an amp that by changing your technique as the sounds are excellent and offer what I expected it excat of this one! Have fun with the Spider Valve!

  </ul>
  
  
  
  </div>

  Utilization

  Using ultra simple, no need to search for hours to find sounds that fit the "driver guide" trs is clear, and the Fast Fashion s'avre sounds very easy. While we do not serve half the presets, but it is better to have more than enough.

  Sounds

  For what I play, the mtal and rock mainly, the sounds are really extras! I had a Line 6 Spider III before, and we feel clearly the difference, lamps dfouraillent sec ... But fates attention to noise, it varies greatly presets and can send you clear the bottom of the pice. As for clean sounds, blues, or twang, I'm not a specialist in trs but I find them correct.

  Overall Opinion

  It's been a month since I use it, the report is unbeatable qualitprix (promo, fresh distributionmusic 600 euros). The transition to the lamps is a REALLY happy, and they are well Submitted unlike what some snobs prtendent. The versatility and power (thank you celestion) of this amp are really apprciables and I do not regret the purchase one day.

  Topprog's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Bogner and Line have joined forces to create an amp model combining the expertise of one for tube amps and the other for modeling. Commercial intent, certainly (Bogner out an amp made in Chinese factories Line 6) passion but also because the result is excellent.
  
  At presentation was already an air of Mesa Boogie (grid, pots, calligraphy) harmonious dimensions, the optimal weight and ideal power, the built-in effects make the object immediately attractive.
  
  Chinese manufacturing is very correct, no apparent defects. Lamps and speaker are very well protected from breakage. We can only blame the lack of reinforced corners on the top, a detail ...
  
  The speaker Celestion Vintage 30 is also a good argument given his reputation.

  Utilization

  Usage is relatively simple: 300 presets + 36 users can be changed at any time. Of course, the presets are not all interesting, but even with that we can find life without too many changes to make.
  
  However, two shortcomings:
  
  1 / the difference in noise level between the factory presets that can blaster ears if we do not blunder to put the volume level or the level of guitar patches to zero between each change. However the level of 36 user selections can be adjusted.
  
  2 / The use onstage difficult without the purchase of a Line 6 pedalboard quite expensive.
  
  Unless you use two or three sound and stay close to the amp, not practical!
  
  And a limit: no ability to download updates, amazing! But hey there what to do with what he already has in the belly!
  
  
  
  Otherwise, this amp is the fun you can have fun and a good time to find the sought for years.
  
  Potentiometer patch level can also play home to a low noise level with no real loss of quality.
  
  In addition: a built-in tuner!

  Sounds

  The key word to remember is versatility! This receiver must be purchased by those looking for that quality above all.
  
  I play either of blues, rock, prog, metal ... I use it with two very different guitars, a Start Highway 1 and a Aria Pro 2 (humbuckers). I have a Fulltone OCD overdrive that always brings the precision and on some saturation boost, and a Crybaby.
  
  Line 6 seems to have definitely achieved its goal, namely the Alliance for the best digital and tubes. Nothing to do with the previous series amps, especially on clean sounds, the lights are really feeling and quality of HP also, more basic "rubbery, but sounds good slammin, crystalline and inviting all at once (position twang in particular). The distortions are of course great: the crunch to overdrive and I&#39;m not talking about emulation Mesa (4 anyway) are simply gorgeous with a soft spot for the personal potential of position "blue metal" by the Mid control. In less than two seconds you can go from one sound to the Rory Gallagher with a Gilmour solo .... No pedal!
  
  Amp emulations are of course excellent and very close to the original (30 Vox, we believe it!).
  
  The power is phenomenal and it has the 40 watt when compared to a Fender Hot Rod of the same power.
  
  The effects are adequate but of course nothing beats a good pedal for more advanced settings (although I&#39;m putting my old Electric Mistress on the shelf, flange being very acceptable). The presence knob is very sensitive so very effective.
  
  This amp is extremely friendly tone of the guitar, it&#39;s also one of its great quality.

  Overall Opinion

  I had gone to buy a Hotrod or Classic 30 or a small tube combo Marshall pointed out to me when my dealer excellence of this amp. A little confused about the technology I tried it for a while and glad to come away with 4 amps just the price of one! Then there are those of us who leave their guns when they see the name of Line 6 is a brand that irritates (nothing to see negative reviews on this site already, even before he so or by "musicians" who have tried it 5 minutes in the store!).
  
  This is not the best amp in the world but it does not exist. So if the crystalline sounds of a Fender you are needed, buy the Fender! If you like the crunch of a Marshall, buy it! This amp does not fill you, for sure. But that&#39;s a bad amp, it&#39;s very exaggerated, it should simply not for everyone and certainly not a pro very sharp. But in all cases, especially on stage, he will show himself to the task.
  
  For me, I would do the purchase without hesitation.
  
  It would be a good idea Bogner interested in Vetta: here it could really hurt ... but for another prize!

  Delmaphisab's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Combo hybrid modlisations / 40W lamps -2 12AX7 for the Global Warming prampli, 2 6L6 power for the Tagus. HP-Output supplmentaire in 4 or 8 ohm direct output to console (like a pod)-Effects loop-type connector for pdalier FBV Shortboard-amp-FBV2 -12 modliss before pramplification . Drive, Bass, Mid, Treble, Volume channel section effects (chorus / flanger, phaser, tremolo, 3 delays with tap-tempo, reverb), Master volume and Prsence. Secondary functions: noise-gate and gain-booster.

  Utilization

  It is very simple to get the "canon" After a few seconds rglages! Simply select the type of amp, the rate of gain, a little EQ and master volume. Then, each free to expand with the reverb, the time limit, or with some effects on offer for fun. A slecteur flanked by an LCD display allows sounds accder 36 stocks in a bank, and mmorisables modifiable by the user. The sounds are stored in groups of 4 (9 banks) can be called directly via the four buttons "Channels" in faade. There is also a bank of 300 presets provided by line 6, which we can extract sound mmoriser for the user and the bank change its convenience. on the other hand, it is unacceptable not to have the combo of a quip from noon, forcing buy pdalier &#39;Owner&#39; "Line 6. The manual of the amp is very well done, it takes 15 minutes to understand everything and without it!

  Sounds

  I play Ibanez JS100 changes, Fender Strato US Standart, Gibson L6, Ibanez AS93 (Kit Seymour 59 &#39;) and 103, an Epiphone LP. Plutt nice guitars that allow me any style without ruin me. My directory will police the RedHot through Acdc, The Stones, U2 etc ... and some things Metal (Metallica, Dreamtheater) but also the whole pop Franaise and English. In any case, I find the sound with my spidervalve adquate. SPECIFICATIONS for things or sharp trs, I add one or two things and you&#39;re jou (TO800 or SD1 Boss Compressor and CS3). Admittedly, this is not all that comparable to big names of the amplification thousands of dollars, but frankly sends a trssvre concert.Il ago in which 40 w REALLY bastonnent transistors and bury the combos up 120W. The Celestion Vintage 30 frquence the same cash in the grave without flinching. It snaps, it&#39;s dynamic. It feels good lamps puissance.Plus nothing to do with the spider transistors and much better than the combo lamps "entry level" type Peavey ValveKing, Windsor or Classic30 (excellent clean sound!) That can compete in terms of versatility. If you possdez guitars suitable (essential) all directories are open to you! The zozo&#39;s because it does not get the sound of Zakk Wylde with a Start with this amp is the one who part ... a Vigier Excalibur esprant sounds in "roots" has it all wrong! All the pros who know the Features and privilgier associations in the field of gear ... find happiness within the limits of compromise imposed by the concept, I recall that the features of real amps with 6 CHARACTERISTICS REALLY Different. With its core trs honnte who asks that be because your hand. In fact, the clean sounds are finally worthy of their REFERENCE (this n&#39;tait not specially Line6), the crunch is pais wish without drooling, saturations really "lights". The only concern the formulation Reserved "insane" is really "to much" and full of bees ... Effects on both dcris: the weak point is that it does not offer many of paramtres rglage, only the dosage with the direct signal is available. However, for dlais, the tap tempo is Submitted and allows to exploit the effect of Manir trs convincing all that the sound is beautiful rsultant. The phaser is good too trs (room 70 &#39;warranty). BMOL for chorus / flanger remains anecdotal so it is unusable and ditto for the tremolo which is coupled to frquence volume effect (moyen!). For my part I would have swapped tremolo, chorus and flanger against a small compressor-limiter mat and much more useful when 40w titillates the madness of such an amplifier. Reserved These remind us that we are facing a vritable combo amp, not a Pod or other multi-effects and paramtres full of possibilities. Free you to connect your pdalier or simulator ftiche between the "direct amp in" or your best effects in the loop or faade, like you do with your amp without criticizing anything traditional it is. The effects of providing SpiderValve to bring his rig complete each rptition, in that they make good service while respecting the characters of guitar related. Dj is not so mal.Pour concert is Amneris his favorite pedals (those that possdait before a Spidervalve ...) that offer more rglages .

  Overall Opinion

  Critics say: "the effects are not great, there&#39;s no sound like Marshall, like guitar etc. ..." Well, you&#39;ve seen a dj with his Marshall Mesa?? A Marshall with his Fender?? A Vox sound with Peavey?? You use your beautiful prfrez rverbe over the boards, nothing prevents you on this amp ... Have you seen a dj amp lamps with as diverse a range of sounds so versatile 630? Do not you know that The Edge plays Marshall and / or Fender but its great sound from a rack of effects that you will not even rve (where trnent Line6PodPro 2. ..)? Ditto for Satriani, Vai and consort. That fine-arrtent their mouths snobbery! Breaking the Line 6 does for fun and serves no real rvle troitesse of mind (we are given the illusion of being part of the lite) or of intellectual masturbation. Do you think this bote can afford a failure in association Bogner monumental as some suggrent? Wait a year to declare it will sell this amp so-called foul does not make sense! Nothing that the test in a few minutes of grips you need to know if the investment is appropriate ... or you&#39;re a dad son capricious ... not a seasoned musicos! Each amplifier has its default and not spidervalve n&#39;chappe RULES, but given a score close to 0 for the sound is truly false. I play it every day and REALLY rgulirement front of an audience and do reois as dressing rooms for my sound. Others say that in some rooms there are too low and not enough this or that. The guy&#39;s rponse srieux: put a sm57 in front of the bowl, into the sound system and correct the EQ on the console or use pedals for even basic EQ! When the room is rotten, that&#39;s what the pros, even with the MesaBoogie! . You see a guy always finds a solution srieux face poor acoustics of room! I play for more than two DCEN (the real stuff I possd rotten), my group is only the resumption pop / rock / hard, so a directory trs varied but demanding. I always took the head for my choice of hardware that any fawn n&#39;tait a vague compromise between what I wanted (the sound of the greatest) and that allowed me my finances . L is the very first time I am filled with an amp without experiencing major frustration. There are quite a few default: volume pRSET factory surprising and sometimes dangerous, no MIDI, no rducteur power (attention in an apartment!) But frankly, r some APRS tings, then a few live performances, I DEFINITIONS adopted this amp! I leave the mix without problem, the sound is pro choice and trs current or vintage but never rotted. I crdible when I go to the Stones or Metallica Dire Straits! Try to do the same exercise with a Triple Rectifier or a JCM800 without adding tons of effects! When we criticize a product, it must be connatre, and especially the place in its segment of users. In this case, I think I can say that the "rockers", the musicians of ball of variation on the cover-bands and mtalleux not too extreme can be satisfied with this amp seriousness, powerful and versatile. Those spcialiss trs (trash, hardcore blues, etc ...) will find better elsewhere for their respective fields but it will pay the price and often sacrifice versatility. And the price is a SpiderValve bndiction to enter the world of lights .... I got mine for 630 ngoc in stores (it even cheaper on the net ). Remember that for that price it&#39;s a good ten amps you have your feet with this spidervalve. I would do without this choice hsiter.
  
  PS: on 03/06/2010 I&#39;ve just ProCD replacement of the original power tubes (5881Sovtek) by Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-5881-C with a rating of 5. standard surprise! The overall sound of the amp is mounted several notches in quality. Saturation natural heat lamps has become more smooth. The stiffness of the sounds "insane" is contained, the "bees" almost absent. The color rendering is a Vintage says. This is the cake and butter! Crunches jous fingers are fabulous, you can work the rope Manir subtle or wild rponse with thunder.
  
  This transformation is not trivial in terms of budget (150 euros montes and heels) but worth a try as it mtamorphose this amp dj satisfactory in its original juice. Of course, investment will remain anecdotal if the amp is never pushed rptition or in concert, not a lamp giving his best characters if it is "tickle". I still wonder why some have 40Watts lamps to work their lines in an apartment while 5 watts are enough to get the sound that kills?!?

  Characteristics

  Lamps + simulation
  
  40w
  
  Full effect

  Utilization

  Config .... boring because too rough for the effects ....
  
  But you can get a good sound by choosing the right simulation

  Sounds

  The sound is too typed simulation! no grain, the lights are there to give power.
  
  All styles can be addressed, but it is still an artificial sound!
  
  The crunch is not too bad and the distortion is pretty average.
  
  And overall is still TOO LOW!

  Overall Opinion

  I used it a few years + rehearsal scenes ....
  
  The most annoying is the settings ... when you play a place to remove the bass, you must pay all your channels pre-recorded! the galley
  
  They should have low to medium setting separate treble!
  
  Before I had a Peavey Classic 30, which was a bit tight for small scenes, but had a nice enough grain .....
  
  In principle it's fun to have full sound in a combo, but eventually it wears! Laney LC50 is better one or VOX ...........

  Characteristics

  Already said in previous opinions

  Utilization

  Configuration very simple! You can still read the manual for detailed modeling. Easy to walk between the presets if you bought the line 6 FBV pedal first. If you want full use live, then to get out the heavy artillery at the foot ... the shortboard to + € 350, the hurts. Otherwise nothing to complain about in terms of use, except maybe the sensitivity to the effects knobs is moderately fine!

  Sounds

  For the style of zic: it's simple it's everything from jazz to thrash metal carefree through the amp models!
  
  
  
  For my part I use it with a Telecaster and a Lespaul Studio, so much for rock with fat humbucker that provides for cocottes funky with the TV (or Start) is terrible.
  
  
  
  As few effects that are, are good quality.
  
  
  
  I will still a big damper on the reverb! Line 6 has developed a different reverb for each modeled amp. Basically, if modeling Hiwatt use you, you'll have a reverb Hiwatt. that's where it bothers me because I was using in the past always the same regardless of the type reverb amp! this is impossible!
  
  
  
  Like, if you use the factory presets, for a change in live they really need to be careful in the differential volume!
  
  
  
  As against his strength is the lights and power! If you put the amp on the bottom is that you do a concert for the retirement home on the corner, and the old ptits they all removed their hearing aid! It scours really!!
  
  Sounds:
  
  - Clear: different sounds of jazz to funk, it's soft, clean and especially thanks to the hot lights (too bad for reverbs)
  
  - Overdrive: it defined the blues and solo vintage insured
  
  - Distortion: distortion different from the TDCA to Slayer, again everyone should be happy, and you really feel the effect of lighting on the digital
  
  - Larsen very correct (it changes from a pod, we can make the amp scream to a meter of it)

  Overall Opinion

  I have since last May! And that amp is really an alternative to digital and all-tube amp vintage of horribly expensive! For € 700, you end up with a new technology (the + digital) and the heat of the former, thanks to the lamps. Bogner Bravo! I use it in a book like alternative rock, I added a small DS-1 (distortion boss) above, wah wah and whammy. Everything is going great
  
  
  
  Before I was on a Pod XT Live ... I was happy but had the same problem tjrs heat of sounds and effects (feedback) amplifiers and less.
  
  
  
  Level quality / price ratio, apart from the pedal controller, is a really great price! what better on amrché to have this power and these lamps!
  
  
  
  I do it again this purchase? Again! With a little over budget I have taken the lead 100 W

  Characteristics

  T says it all

  Utilization

  Very easy to use. Presets are saved easily. Configuration is very well done with the different presets just search for the sound that you want and all is well.

  Sounds

  A versatile sounding amp trs bluffing. That one is fond of his blues, crunch or big 70's metal clean or dirty, or has its happy in seconds. I used with the ltd mh 400 and a prs custom se. Get it one day his trs sec with my ltd mh 400 in distos metals trs well suited to my style prog, heavy and trash and I happen to have a blubbering sounds of blues with my prs trs it sounds really pro. If like me you have a skyscraper with active EMG pickups it anyway gaffe was not to gain too much otherwise it blows a little. Nothing too serious. What I like it a lot in line6, c is that There is no need for a pedal 2 meters long with 36,000 buttons to get good sound.'s You plug your guitar and it sounds right away blues crunch, hard metal or rare. The clear sound is also good and clean trs.

  Overall Opinion

  I used the last few months and with everything I put into his face he does not flinch. J loves the metal distos correct copies of the mesa trs well immitis. The effects are okay and when was the reverb very nice especially blues channel. J have tried a peavey valve king and I don t have not convinced by the distos I find dirty. I think that for 700 euros c is one of the best quality market prices. Many sounds trs different, effects and tuner, it was not a complaint. although I'm a fan of the brand mesa boogie and this amp does sonneras obviously not as good, I recommend it to people like me who like to combine the metal a more versatile and sounds of other sonnorits s offer different styles. If I had to choose again I would do exactly the same as the versatility is rare in the world has ampliis lamps.
