MGR/Say What « Line 6 Flextone II »
Published on 09/03/02 at 15:00I traded in a crate amp with $300. tp purchase this amp. I purchased it in upstate New York at Adirondack Guitar and Pro Audio
I like the Line 6 due to all the various sounds and amp emulaters that it has along with the ability to maintain it's sound quality as you turn up the volume. Some amps lose definition as you increase the volume. This does not. The pedal board that you can get is an added plus. Built in tuner with wah peddle. I also like the multiple channels to program in different sounds for different tunes that my band plays through the night. From the Beatles sound to Clapton to Matchbox 20 and Kiss, this amp will do you good. Finally an amp that you can have a great rythm sound and lead sound without 50 different boxes to stomp on...just one!!
The only thing I have found that I would change is the channel volume itself. If my rythm channel is set and I switch to another channel for my leads and it isn't loud enough I have to mess with the turn knob for that channel a bit to get the exact volume I want and then resave that lead channel at that volume.( set aside a few minutes to mess with that)!! I would make it a digital volume for the channel mix so that you can choose let's say 5 for a rythm and 8 for a lead rather than a turn knob. The master volume is a turn knob and that's fine. Overall a great amp though.
This unit is durable and travels well. My band plays every weekend and I have had no problems with it. I have the 2x12 cabinet and it does have some wieght to it but stands strong for up keep.
Overall I would rate this amp a 9 out of a possible 10 and highly suggest it to people. My other guitarist in the band is a die hard Marshall tube guy and even he was impressed with the amp and has thought about getting one. You can't beat the clean sound anywhere and the distortion rocks!!!
