Despite this I did give it a fairly thorough going over and tested what features are available out of the box
but it does have some nice features that would be useful and enjoyable
This amp is packed with all kinds of great sounds and features
Its no tube sound, but for practice and with the loop function, Its a great deal, Cosmetically it looks great, nice modern updated features fits in the living room nice.
A cool feature when editing is that you can loop-play built-in riffs and tweak patches while they play, so you don't have to bounce back and forth to your your guitar

The result here is that, if you are an Android user, you won't have a nice graphical interface to edit your presets with, you won't be able to download and use other people's presets, and you have no way of backing up your presets.
This might still be acceptable if there were a PC or Mac based interface available, but there isn't.
Inputs include a ¼ inch instrument jack, an 1/8” 3.5 mm headphone jack while on the rear you have a USB port that works as an interface to your Mac, PC (Line 6 have ASIO drivers for the PC)
The USB hookup does work as a digital interface complete with low latency ASIO streaming drivers allowing audio to work in both directions
the amp has a well laid out set of controls and intuitive interface.

I love guitars and I love a beautiful guitar tone and most practice amps have crappy tone, so now you're blowing the retirement fund on 9 volt batteries and a board full of a dozen pedals - look, either you've been there yourself or you're reading the wrong review
this one does so much that is almost as important as the actual guitar (and really brings even more variety to the table than a closet full of guitars and effects pedals).The amp physically is pretty big.
If you are buying an inexpensive electric guitar for your kids this Christmas, this amp should make them happy since it will give them instant gratification on crunch and insane.
All in all, it's a pretty cool amp, but if you are a real working professional playing big gigs, you probably shouldn't buy any modelling amp and instead buy a conventional guitar amp like a Marshall and real stomp boxes for your effects
What mostly caught my eye was the integrated wireless receiver for being cable free guitar playing.
The 4 presets are not very good, and while you can make adjustments, I've yet to find any really good sounds.
The presets suck and the amplifier sounds like ass
I went through all of the preset tones on the guitar, many are very good, some don't seem all that useful, and some seem rather duplicative (many clean presets for example).
The effects are a bit digital and the presets are quite loud by default
Which is ok - we’re all way too picky for Line 6 to pre-package good presets for everyone
you punch around on the different foot switches, the tones do change like they have noted, but on many of the effects, it gives you something you might not expect.
Escher you have to turn it up already, some tones will blow you away because they’re set so loud or something like in the FX
If you are looking for a great practice amp that can give you great tones without having to attach a bunch of pedals, this amp is perfect for that
Summarizing: fantastic practice amp, decent tones after customizing, low volumes are usable without compromising sound
I found some REALLY good ones that made great starting points for some fabulous tones
While I initially enjoyed all the bells and whistles for the price, the enjoyment gave way to frustration pretty quickly with all the issues of the software
And this is now a keeper, found great ways to get what I was looking for, and surprised at the dirty amp sound!!
While I initially enjoyed all the bells and whistles for the price, the enjoyment gave way to frustration pretty quickly with all the issues of the software
The good news is this amp is a great way for new users just getting into modeling to be able to experience all the capabilities of mixing different amps with different cabinets and mics as well as exploiting a fairly serious range of effects.
It works the exact same way which tells me this is just a flaw in the design of the knob.
