"This amp head will SMOKE almost any amp of it's nature , Believe that !!!"
Feature:
I never see anybody rating the the capabilities of the back of this amp , Threw Midi, I've connected this head to my PC, Installed Line 6 Edit and your options to this amp are basically endless, The interface looks just like the front of the amp , You can control an aray of things from the software, Hmm can Marshall amps , Krank amps, Or to mention any other amp do this ? NOT to my knowledge, The direct out is just extraordinary, When connected to a mixer , And ran into a Pro Tools arrangement ...
Quality:
This amp is built like a tank , I am extremely carefull around mine, just simply because i look forward to having this thing working prestinely for years to come . And i trust it will.....
Value:
At a glance the price is a little steep , But after owning this amp and seeing what it is capable of , Well worth the money , If your a serious musician ...
Desirability:
Man , This amp has a "CHROME" Chassis , I've had people compliment just that image alone ....
Sound:
Let me tell you something , HANDS DOWN this is the best sounding amp head on the market for the money . You can accomplist anything from Blues, Country,Classic Rock, Rock,Hard Rock, Punk Rock,Heavy Metal,Thrash Metal, And yes even Death Metal, Your average Marshall JCM 800 is far from accomplishing this... KRANK amps may give them a run for the gain sounds , But you will still need some kind of external effects to catch up to what the HD 147 contains .......
Ease of Use:
The only gripe i have on this amp is that without useing the software , I can see where someone might run into a little confusion, But with a little patience you'll hit that sweet sound guarenteed ...
Support:
Im gonna rate this a 9 seeings i haven't had to use it yet .
Overall:
I won't search for another amp , I have the sound i've always wanted , I'm 35 and been playing guitar for 21 years, So far NO amp has caught my attention more than this one , Not even the VETTA II, In fact i really want to by a back up , Just in case something happens to this one , Lets face it , "Nothing Lasts Forever", I play a modern melodic heavy metal style of music and this amp can go even beyond my realm ...

"Great for active musicians who play anything from pop to metal."
Feature:
Tons of different features although... one of the footboards are required to make it probable in a live setting.
Quality:
I had one issue so far that was my fault (beer in amp = bad). Aside from that the screen on my footpedal died. That is not a bad point for the HD147 but is for Line6.
Value:
With all the different tones at your fingertips you cannot go wrong if you need all this power. I use mine for recording (not live) and it is overkill.
Desirability:
For a live rig, with stereo XLR outs it is an engineers dream.
Sound:
It truly does sound great, not tube great though. Clean channels can be quite amazing.
Ease of Use:
Very easy for the most part. You must use the computer software to setup mic emulation which is a small bummer.
Support:
Have not used it...
Overall:
I will replace with a KB37 simply for the fact that I only use it for recording. If I did not have a favorite live rig already then I would use this for both.
