So I opened up a flyer I got from Guitar Center and I see this new amplifier from Line 6. I am assuming they are releasing it to compete with the Fender GDEC (which is also pretty cool). I’ll say that it looks impressive - boasts 75Ws and early reviews are positive, which isn’t surprising given that it is loaded with a Celestion and the tones are basically from POD 2.0.
What is really kind of cool is the 100 (ONE HUNDRED) endless jam loops. These loops were recorded by studio musicians and aren’t MIDI based or anything like that. Without hearing how they sound, I’ll say thats just got to be a ton o’ practice fun. Better than a metronome that’s for sure!
Let me know if you take one for a spin - I’d love to try one out myself.

Yea I was following thier new products pretty closely when the V3, spider valve and this were all released. This product in particular I thought was line 6 at their best. I seem to love their budget and beginner gear more than their other stuff because it always offers such an amazing value.
This is a perfect example. For not a lot of money a new player could have amazing tones and loops to jam to right from the beginning. No more feeling stupid as you mess around imagining the band playing with you.
