« Line 6 Guitar Port »

I bought this item because I use the line 6 pod pro with my live rig, so insted of moving all that heavy gear to and from band rehersal I bought this to keep in the studio. I paid $99.00 + tax when it was on sale at guitar center.

I was suprised to find all that it offered to its online members. I wanted a line 6 so that the guitar in my studio demos would sound the same as the rehersals and live shows. You can also download any guitar sound that you like, line 6 has a tone library where you can enter an artist's name or a band name and you get their effect settings and lessons if you need them.

although there is a hum reducer, unless you have a lcd monitor you will hear some noise if you are too close to the screen.

This unit is small and durable, it has a volume knob right on top that makes it easy to adjust quickly.

The bottom line is, line six at this time is the leader in guitar amp modeling.
everyone is trying to emulate the warm, harmonic-rich sound of a class A tube amp, the line 6 engineers have done a great job. I use (like many other artists) line 6 effects with a tube amp. you can hear my sound at my website 16 bit sound.
