I want to find an amp that is versatile in sound and effects. I found the line 6 amp on musiciansfriend.com and was wondering if this amp will suit my needs? I like to play alternative, grunge, blues, jazz, progressive and metal.
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/L... A young friend of mine has that identical "rig." He and I both agree that it's a "lot of bang for the buck."
He still aspires to purchasing a Marshall half-stack after having played several -but- $$ are his (and most everyone's) deciding issue.
Short answer........I think you'll be happy with the line 6 !!
Good Luck !! Line 6 makes some great products. I purchased a Behringer X-V Amp 2 years ago, which I still like and use a lot, but if I would've bought the Line 6 model I would've come out better. They are easier to adjust and offer those "in between" tones that Behringer didn't have. I'm not knocking Behringer because they're so affordable, but you can do a bit more with Line 6 stuff. Line 6 makes some good stuff, but I very strongly recommend that you "save your pennies" for the model that was designed by Mr. Bogner - I just heard one it was GREAT for the money. I own a bunch of different great amplifiers and although I don't usually care for digital modeling amps I really liked this one and wanted to try it out some more. The one I was looking at was a "combo" unit for around $850, and would be one amp I would consider using consistently on gigs. I have some "world class" amplifiers, but I am reluctant to take them into rowdy bars - this amp would be fairly easy to replace, and it has a sound quality I have never heard in a new amp of its price range. |
