Amp Models
| Clean
Red LED – Select this amp model and adjust the tone controls to get crisp, amazing clean tones, great warm jazz tones, and all the high-end shimmer you’ll need with a generous amount of bottom end.
Glassy
Green LED – Line 6 developed this amp model to emulate those late 60’s and early 70’s clean tones. It started off as an amp model based on a 1973 Hiwatt Custom 100. Line 6 extended the tone control range and tightened up the low end.
|
Twang
Red LED – This amp model draws on our analysis of mid 60’s Fender amps, including blackface ’65 Twin Reverb and blackface ’64 Deluxe Reverb. It features a classic glassy high end tone with some snap and bite.
Twin Twang
Green LED – This amp model is based on a number of vintage tweed amps. Line 6 evaluated a ’53 Fender tweed Deluxe Reverb, ’58 Fender tweed Bassman and a ’60 Gibson Explorer to create a swingin’ Rockabilly tone.
| 
|
| Blues
Red LED – Based on a mix of a ’65 Marshall JTM-45, a ’58 Fender Bassman, a ’63 Fender Vibroverb and a Supro so it slides between gritty swamp-infected cleans to syrupy smooth, walloping drive tones.
Class A
Green LED – based on a fawn Vox AC30 amplifier with an updated and expanded tone control circuit. Line 6 wanted to capture that early British pop rock tone that the Beatles and the Stones are so well known for.
|
Crunch
Red LED – A sound crafted during Line 6 studies of the ’68 Marshall Plexi 50 watt which was used by a number of early metal bands. Crunch provides a wider range of tone control settings than the original Marshall amp.
On Fire
Green LED – Based on a ’68 Marshall Plexi 100 watt with a few added extras: the combination of a Variac and the jumped input channels creates that infamous brown sound.
|  |
| Metal
Red LED – An amp model based on the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier which produces a tight and punchy, high gain Metal sound.
Spinal Puppet
Green LED – This sound was created to be an aggressive high gain amp model with a unique mid control that will sweep through an entire spectrum of tone on one knob. The Mid knob for this amp model changes the character of the distortion. When set to minimum, the distortion exhibits Fuzz pedal characteristics. When it is set to noon, it mimics the creamy modern high gain amp tones. And when it is turned up to Max, it’s very much reminiscent of that Class A sound.
|
Insane
Red LED – An amp model dialed in for shredding based on the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier red channel. It combines the intensity and impact of Metal Red but delivers more midrange and teeth for that bone-crushing, brain piercing insane grind.
80s Solo
Green LED – Line 6 had a goal in mind to provide you with as much input gain distortion as possible short of complete meltdown. You get an obscene helping of distortion while still retaining tonal definition and character.

| | | Subject: | Replacing my pedals and other Heads | | Quality:
| solid construction ,not as heavy as a tube head , have had no problems with knobs falling off or buttons sticking | | Reliability:
| have only had it for a few shows ,but it is holding up better than my last 4 tube heads.I thought I would never go back to solid state , but after hearing this amp and with all the tube troubles I've had I was sold | | Overall:
| The range of amp sounds are great from crystal clean to grinding distortion .The effects sound great ,a little limited ,but I can get everything I need for a live show out of this head.All I run is an external wah ,distortion for solo boost and my decimator noise gate . | | Playability and Feel:
| Works better for live situations with a footpedal, sounds like the amps it is emulating ,i was very surprised at how loud it is ,and how easy it is to get the sounds I need | | Tone:
| a wide range of emulated amps that sound very close if not indisguishable from the originals,effects are great especially when hooked to a stereo cab | | Finish:
| gray ,i think ,i'm kind of color blind , looks fine | | Action:

| | | Sound:
| | | Quality:
| | | Subject: | Ehh it's ok | | Quality:
| The amp is well made. Seems to be durable. I am a touring musician and havn't broken it yet | | Features:
| Features are what you would expect from a Line 6. My bigest issue is it does not have an effect loop, I know it's a line6 and why would you need that, well when you try to get your sounds perfect with the foot pedal and all the knobs it can get a little overwhelming | | Sound:
| Sounds great a low levels. This amp does not like to go loud. First one I had to RMA. It just doesn't have the same punch that a tube amp would. | | Reliability:
| I have 2 other line 6 amps and I like them because of their reliability. It has lasted. | | Overall:
| Over all it's a great amp for the price. I wouldn't recommend using it on the road. Much better as a studio amp | | Value:
| Great value | |
| | Jocko from Gulfport, Ms | | Overall Ranking: | | Features:
| | | Sound:
| | | Quality:
| | | Subject: | I own it | | Quality:
| So far so good, one very important fact this amp is very specific about the speaker requirements; 8 ohms stereo. If you do not have a 8 ohm load each side it will not work; period. Easy to understand front knobs, buttons and read-out. Looks like a average amp up from; loads of room in the back for storage. Average wood construction and plastic/rubber protectors all over the head. | | Features:
| This amp has pre-sets out of this world. Most song presets are usable for the song it was designed for and then some. Where as there are hundreds of pre-sets Line6 dropped the ball on a usable list of all pre-sets. You have to go to http://www.vettaville.nl to get a usable list of all presets. All the effects are very good and love the individual control of the reverb. | | Sound:
| Line6 did their homework with this amp. This amp really shines with its sound. The individual amp selectors really are a nice touch from a Fender Twin to a Mesa and everything in between. Very nice job Line6. This is a less expensive amp but for the options of sounds its well worth the cost. | | Reliability:
| Have only owned it for a week. If my other Line6 products are any example of the quality of this amp then it will last a long time unless I do something stupid like mis match the ohms. | | Overall:
| I am very happy with this amp, except for noted items. One other word of advice you do need a midi controller to expirence the full usage of this amp. | | Value:
| Well worth it......... |
