«  What improvement over the III! »

Published on 05/21/10 at 13:37
Same size / hp than its predecessor, which I kept the pedal FBV4 (direct access presets more tap-tempo), the comparison stops there.

12 amp simulations, effects more delays over separate reverb, 4 memory locations free (can be 4 times the same amplifier equalized differently, for example).

30 watts into 4 ohms, I installed my hp eminence GB12 carefree into 8 ohms (the receiver must issue 15-20w at present but as the eminence is significantly more effective than the original celestion it sounds louder in the end ). I drive a 4x12 4ohms to see mind-blowing it dry ...

Additional functions: maintaining tap tempo, 1 boost the drive engages a reverb 2 activates the noise gate
Another useful function in Maintenat tap tempo amp is turned to access the stored settings (when you turn all the buttons until the LEDs are lit ch2 and 3. It relaxes everything and we need only note what we see. Practice)

This is perfect side characteristics, especially when you look at the competition ...

UTILIZATION

It is rather simple and intuitive, especially since the effects are much better than before the coup everything is really usable.
Do not hesitate to exaggerate the effect because it is not necessarily changing their intensity rather the type of effect (eg, sweep echo).
You can adjust the channel volumes very sweet to have a full control at very low volume (like midnight apartment ...).

In fact the only thing that bothers me is that whenever the preset button turns the amp, the EQ-stroke-volume effects are changed grr.

SOUNDS

Then there is the previous day and night, variety, delicacy, definition, dynamics amps are really good about the effect is even more blatant as it is better.

In absolute terms the delays and reverb are great both in heat and in quality.
As for the amp is always a bit shy from a good type transistors or Orange 35ldx Bandit, but it's still usable and fun to play.

If you like the line6 graouh has something to delight you, a sacred grain of sound as you like!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two-three months that I have, I had its predecessor as well as large series spider2.
The concept of this is very 30w led finally really manageable and usable, and practice (size, weight, headphones, line in front master volume).

It's different as amp or tube or transistor, not really comparable but I prefer small tube amps all I had.
For the price you have Vypyr (sounds good but junk and gas plant), the Cube (zero-preset equalizer-only global effects unusable for lack of settings-small hps), Vox (gas plant but sounds good-no line in).
For the digital category of course.

Finally here is nothing missing on this line6, the hp is pretty rough but at least we have a choice in super 12pouces.
Amp working very nice, especially with the FBV4 pedal (not included, injury).
Overall not far from a certain perfection casually.
