8 out of 10
Feature:
There are lots of effects on board. The reverb, chorus, and echo features are useful. I also use the compressor and noise gate with high gain models. Anyway, pretty much any type of effect you need is built in. There's no foot control included so you have to part with some cash for that. You can pick up a used short board on ebay at a reasonable price. Unless you use a lot of different combinations of tones and effects you can pick up the original 4 channel foot switch real cheap. (Originally $100.00 and now discontinued)
Quality:
This amp seems to be very solid. The grill covering and tolex seem to be highly durable. The switches and jacks seem to be high quality. The only weak link is the foot controller connection. Not that I've had a problem, but it is a standard ethernet cable with rj45 connections at both ends.
Value:
This amp is a little pricey. It won't hold it's value like a tube amp. Especially with a one yr warranty.
Sound:
The Fender models are a dissapointment.
The highs are too thin and the lows a little mushy.
The Marshall models are OK but the best tones are in the Line 6 models (clean, mood, & insane)
Ease of Use:
As far as ease of use, you have to study the manual for a while. Each amp model will respond differently To eq and volume. Once you find a tone,effects,& volume combination that you like you can lock it in for recall. There are 4 preset buttons on the amp which correspond to the 4 button foot switch.
Support:
Line 6 support is very helpful. They respond quickly to email, and honor warranty claims, although the 1yr warranty is too short.

Feature:
Can't slag the features, it has loads, and most of them would be entirely useful if not for the aforementioned problem.
Quality:
The Achilles heal of the amp, in my opinion not very well made and the mushy distortion just kind of kill any enthusiasm for the amp.
Value:
good price
Desirability:
Nope I play live and this amp does not cut it at all.
Sound:
Bought this amp after an hour of messing around at the store. Big mistake!! Although this has a tonne of tones, it's the low end that is the deal breaker. It gets very woofy and mushy. No definition at all, I play mostly rock, classic rock and and kind of palm muting will show this problem.
Ease of Use:
It is very simple to use, especially with the FBV express or shortboard
Support:
Did not deal with them
Overall:
If they fixed that low end mushy distortion, in combination with the awesome cleans on this amp it would be well worth the money.
