All those who were skeptical to the modeling (myself included) try this amp! Imagine an all-tube amp (12AX7 in the preamble and 6L6 power) of 40W with a high-end Bafle (Celestion Vintage 30) coupled to a podlive. Basically that's what this amp was in the womb!

With the added built-in tuner and after a look at the features on the sites of pros

UTILIZATION

Config level, we can say that simple, simulation of 12 amp (Vox, Mesa, Marshall, Hiwatt, Fender, etc.). So a gain knob / drive, EQ, chan flight (this button is used to avoid you hearing aid bills in retirement)
1 Button Effects: chorus / flanger, phaser, tremolo,
1 Button Effects: Delay, Tape Echo, Sweep Echo
1 reverb
A master
A presence / outline if you can not let the kids play, you'll look like a pro.

A bank of 400 presets saved more or less well done (depends on your guitar).

So to configure the beast is we use the bank by refining the settings, or you create your own (or dirty) and it's backup (your children, brothers or nephews can then fiddle with your settings without you do not spend the window).

Short of the super useful because you can preset 36 registered! And frankly it sounds! Try modeling insane super nag, wahoou !!!!!!!!!!!!! it's as if you leave on vacation for 3 weeks having forgotten to unplug your tube amp it sends severe.

SOUNDS

This receiver is suitable for beginners and effects for guitarists seeking the warmth of the lamps and the versatility of the amp. For metal, it's all good, honest with my Dual Rectifier head with my ESP MII on the 4 12 "and with this amp (on line 6) the sound is identical casi saturated (but still not the same) provided we know how much a settlement.

Needs more effects, sniff (I liked my time spent at any address with my old pedals delay, flanger, etc. .)!!! But the FBV shortboard is required, pity she is so expensive new.

With this toy you can really get any kind of sound, Al Di Meola (yes, really) to Eddie Van Halen, to Brian May, Hendrix, the Edge, Vai, Satriani, Santana and ending with the System, Zack Wilde, Turbonegro, Motorhead, Metallica. That the gossips are trying, there was a sound that, while not identical, try playing friday night in San Francisco with IBD on any amp, you'll never get there (to get the sound), still resembles the original.

In short, we can say that this amp will not remove the sound of your guitar, that's an addition to the lamps.

Sound level, have fun, you have to your life with this amp!

Only downside, the volume of presets that change the single or quad (that's how they say), I wondered what the purpose of the flight chan, even after I e ^ be spent close to deafness. .. a 40W tube with celestion vintage 30, it really sends the heavy friends! You play over any of the frenzied battery 1 / 4 volume.

I put 8 / 10, perfection does not exist, and Line 6 shows us the volume of presets really dangerous for our fine gills.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it at home and in several groups for its versatility, the Bluesy type Joe Bonamassa at many large metal saturax or effects to Tom Morello style (must still have his game), shows that this amp Line 6 and Bogner have done something right. I have a Vox AC30, a Fender Supro, a Dual Rectifier head Mesa / Boogie, a Marshall 8080 (real shit), a JCM200 head (too sick) and now the Line 6 and I can say that it has become Mesa after my head and my Supro, my favorite amp.

Quality / price ratio unbeatable at present.
