This is the amp simulations, modeled and digitized using the technique specific to Line 6. I do not believe that we can enter the program of this bug since it only has one input and one output jack 6.35. This amply sufficient to its use. It is a model pedal of metal, very solid.
UTILIZATION
Access is easy. It has left a selector that allows you to choose between different types of amplifier and then lined up right, gain, EQ low, mid, treble and master volume. You can store sounds on four banks accessible switches. A priori, these manipulations are instinctive for any musician who have already settled with sound amplifiers. Reading the book is interesting because it allows us to understand the options for Line 6 amps in the reproduction of selected. After reading it, you can store it with the bills and forget it.
SOUND QUALITY
Talking about the sounds: The reproductions of Fender amps are compelling, those of the Buddha and Matchless interesting that of the JCM 800 (large graoûh) absolutely necessary. The rest is correct. I plug in a Boss ME50 multi-effects to its output and send either a sound card or in an Epiphone 5 watt head and cabinet Orange 112. Both configurations proved very consistent for both the sound. Obviously, the amp simulations saturated (Marshall, Soldano, Mesa Boogie) spend more in the second configuration. Note that if the single coil pickups blend well with clean sounds, they quickly fiddle with distorted sounds. In contrast, the humbuckers work with all simulations, except perhaps with the Vox. But it is a matter of taste. We must admit that, as with all these systems is confined fast enough in the use of two or three sounds. That is, it seems, for each musician. Personally, simulations of Blackface, the Bassman and JCM well enough to make me happy. I play rock and I am preparing the compositions and arrangements of my group with this system. That said, I never released this simulator in my home studio. So I will give no opinion on its use in rehearsal or live.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this simulator for three years. This keeps me to ask my computer with software simulations. Quite frankly, it's a solution without trouble. No programming, no crystal display. Just the basic settings of a conventional amp. I tried Guitar Rig Native. Very well but for all its parameters that rule, we do not do anything, and I'd rather spend time playing and arranging. I tried the Line 6 pedals, Boss, Digitech and Zoom. Too many functions for my little head. Again, a matter of taste and experience. I do not see too much downside if it is, perhaps, the lack of an on / off. Although ... is it really that useful? This machine was quite rare when I want to buy it. Line 6 has not marketed Palanquée. As it happens, also, I did not want to get rid of ME50 I find very useful for much the same reasons. I bought this simulator 280 euros, nine in Germany like everybody else, and do not regret my choice. The day I find a gizmo on the market that will allow me to both amplify and / or go to my sound card with as little concern and as such, I will revise my opinion.
