Value For Money : Excellent
2x75 watts transistor amplifier or 1x150 in mono, 2 outputs 4ohms and 8ohms.
12 amp models, 400 presets and 36 users.
Concurrent effects including 3 7
tuner facade
In short, go to line 6 website for details, it is very well done.
Note that we have 9 banks of 4 presets each for the preservation of our ultra simple settings.
And thank you for the Line 6 tap tempo effects used on all with just a beat finger ... GENIAL

UTILIZATION

Config ultra simple, not need the manual except for hidden features (noise gate and stomp I was not able to activate this compare to the manual).
The presets are nice contrary to what I read on the forums, but the large hearts is to get his sound, which requires a little patience and tamper ds settings (equalizer and effects).
However if you want to start right away, necessarily found happiness among the 400 presets provided by fiddling a little adjustments.
Another point, high-volume, I have a flying v and Excalibur, there is no concern for sound equalization is not at all écresé as some casual fans, even with high-power microwave The EQ is quite effective if there are too low, it is not a problem that was quickly corrected.
I used this head on stage and I had an excellent who did not lose in accuracy or in acute without seeming completely compressed, not the sound does not collapse when the beast is set (but it takes a little patience and reflection), the proof is, I played with a ibanez universe 7 string and the amp did not budge on the low frequencies on the other hand for a clear case ds must choose the first step modeling and not the blues of course.

SOUNDS

Amp clearly oriented metal crunch of the simus up insane are monstrous and full of life (you can almost hear the heat lamps, it is amazing, but there is this little qd same side which makes synthetic sound Line 6).
The sound of the guitar is fully respected, I play on paul black beauty, Vigier Excalibur, and strat flyng v and did my settings for each scratch.
With it's red metal amp Dual Rectifier, I had one and I am amazed, ca is good modeling but it is what makes the Line 6 I repeat, for a good big sound rhythm to Messhugah must spend some time to take the lead but the result is there and right there ........... mama mia !!!!!!!!!!!

In hidden command can trigger a stomp which provides more grain but I'm not a fan because the ultra sound is less accurate and drool too much.
In terms of effects, nothing to say, it's line 6 and it seems to have pedals on the floor, just a little critical of the reverb that I find a little synthetic and difficult to master, but well c is also a matter of taste.

At clean sounds, no problem, there is a choice mode blues I feel like I have a twin on the ground and the fact that serious postion red, green is the position of a modeling vox ac 30 but it is not my cup of tea I prefer crispy crunchy distortion in position to marshall crunch red and green, it's really stunning.

OVERALL OPINION

J'utile the head for one month with a 4x12 cabinet line 6.
I played on Marshall, Boogie I had a lot of amps in the studio I'm working on a pod xt and it is natural for the scene and I turned again to the spiderIII.
I am an absolute fan of Line 6's because there's really a line 6, in 20 years I finally guitar sound I want and when I think ca m'hallucine again and yes it is the first Once I have a really good compromise between the lamps and transistors Hallelujah ............
Despite qqs problems as knowledge or is in the settings (the black dot, and yes it should be noted on paper the settings for each preset if vs vs want to remember in case you erase the memory), a reverb just average and no switch (but hey ... for the price) this head is the dream for any musician looking for some versatility.
Here is my opinion, I would do 1000 times this choice with his eyes closed even if line 6 is abusing a little on the price of a shortboard!
Last, contrairemnt to some, I say that this amp is definitely not an amp for beginner who wants to play it, on the contrary, we must have some experience to use it in perfect harmony with each guitar In fact it will never sound crisp and clear with a flying mode and the amp blues .......... a little common sense is actually needed to gain full capacity of the beast.
