150W amp modeling
HP 2 Celestion 12 "
Input 1 Input (for a stereo, it sucks!)
A CD/MP3 input
1 RJ45 for connecting a pedal (optional)
POD 1 output / headphones for recording and listening including without disturbing the neighbors
Stereo outputs for connecting to a sound system, speakers ...
That's it!
No effects loop either.
12 amps, the clean well nag (named Insane) via Twang, Blues, Crunch and Metal. Six types of amplifiers each broken down into two versions.
7 effects (chorus / flange, delay, phaser, tremolo, echo ...) and a reverb. Ability to combine 3 effects at the same time
over 300 sound settings (by artists or songs based on famous). Some of these presets are far from the original sound tracks (eg, Shine On You Pink Floyd ... or Sunshine Of Your Love Eric Clapton).
I do not put a 5 because of the connection too light for my taste.
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use and quite intuitive. The manual is short enough. There's no two buttons either. And the manual is especially critical for 3-4 "hidden" functions that you could not find it without. There are some errors and it would have been nice if Line 6 had put a few pages to describe these models (like the POD X3 manual for example).
The settings are easy to use and this amp gives a fairly diverse range of sounds. on the other hand, it is in sound that this amp is much more boring. And now I'm really mixed. Well, it's only a few days but I have much for a good sound for blues or metal, it's easy to find. To believe that it is essentially made for this. For warmer tones, then it's harder.
SOUNDS
For a blues sound in general also warmer, then I spent a few hours without success. Santana to play, it is frankly not suitable I think. It does not suit my style of music. And if I did not win, I would not have bought. But thank you for this gift to Line6!
I have an Ibanez SA160 (Ibanez pickups very average) and a Lag Roxanne (EMG liabilities). Plugged into my POD X3 Live, output still hear the difference. But through the amp, the difference (on the same settings of course) between these two guitars is much less obvious.
This amp far too smooth sound and these sounds are overall pretty cool.
Hepathus to answer you, although I have not spent hundreds of hours, I do not see how with this amp I can have the warmth and grain of a good tube amp. But if you have some advice, I'm interested ... Becaufe then the difference, I do and then some!
The sounds he is still good and varied (12 amps and effects 7). But out of my POD X3 Live, it is redundant and especially it is not at all to the sound I want. Still hesitate at the note. It is cold and a little too smooth sound. We do almost the difference between various guitars (I did say almost!). So the average is its main flaw in my eyes. And the models are not as good as the POD X3.
OVERALL OPINION
Only 4 days so far and I think I will not use it very long as it is too far from the sound I want.
What I like most: 2 Celestion 12 ", his look (he of the mouth anyway!) And it looks solid. And then I won it so it's still pretty cool c!
What I like least: the sound a bit too cold and smooth, absent the effects loop and a single entry for a stereo ...
The price / quality ratio (I saw it was € 450) is correct since it is still a good amp and 150W please.
But if I had to buy it, then no. I made an amp with a warmer sound, certainly a lamp (even a bit more expensive!)
This seems rather line6 sounds suitable for metal (these models are excellent I think). I also think that's what Line6 is seen as the artists who recorded moults presets (John 5, Slipknot, Ash, etc ...)
I put a 6 because it is still a good amp but it is not suitable for all sounds. And the models are not among the best.
