Manufacturer's Description for Line 6 HD147 Guitar Amplifier Head (2x150 Watts)
The HD147 isn't just another guitar amp. It's evolution, baby.
Why else would Line 6 stick obscene tone from sparkly-clean to earth-shattering-chunk and wrap it around 300 watts...
The HD147 cuts through any band with power and clarity.
Evolved Tone When Line 6 introduced their Insane custom model in 1996, Line 6 redefined how much distortion you could squeeze out of a single piece of gear. Now they've got 14 custom models like Smash, Big Bottom, Octone, Purge, and Agro that will send you into high-gain overload. But, Line 6 didn't stop there. Line 6 added models based on* boutique heads like the Diezel VH4 and Herbert, Peavey 5150, Cornford mk50h, Marshall Silver Jubilee and JCM2000, and Bogner Extacy and Ubershall.

Insanity is the Mother of Invention Sometimes a little bit of "grease" helps the 300-watts of medicine go down. That's why Line 6 added a bunch of great stompbox models from their MM4 Modulation Modeler and DL4 Delay Modeler pedals. Now you can add effects models based on* the Maestro EP-1 Echoplex, Roland Space Echo, Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man, MXR Phase 90, Uni-Vibe, and Leslie 145. There's even a dedicated Compressor and Gate, plus 16 classic reverb types ranging from Plate and Chamber to vintage Spring.

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds
"A daily dose of zZounds keeps my budget under control and the ravages of scurvy at bay." - customer on February 1st, 2012
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"You want a Mesa? Check this out first!"
Sound:
REALLY brings out the nuances and differences from guitar to guitar. VERY detailed, and can be IRRITATINGLY so until you "iron out" the EQ for your particular rig/guitar/cabinet combo...
Feature:
JUST what I needed! Not too many bells and whistles, but WAY more than you'd think by looking at the panel. For example, you can change cabinets by pushing in and turning the amp model knob! Soo much is here!
Quality:
It aint' tubes, but you won't be changing the glass every 6 months, either!
Value:
Perhaps a little overpriced for a solid-state unit, but I guess we're paying for the R&D... ; )
Manufacturer Support:
I have no experience with this except through their website. I've owned LOTS of Line 6 products, and still have an Original POD Pro, which has worked GREAT and never required service...
Style of Music: Hard/Alt Rock

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?
"Great for active musicians who play anything from pop to metal."
Sound:
It truly does sound great, not tube great though. Clean channels can be quite amazing.
Feature:
Tons of different features although... one of the footboards are required to make it probable in a live setting.
Ease of Use:
Very easy for the most part. You must use the computer software to setup mic emulation which is a small bummer.
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.
Manufacturer Support:
Have not used it...
The Wow Factor:
For a live rig, with stereo XLR outs it is an engineers dream.
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.
Style of Music: Rock, Hard Rock, Punk, Acoustic, Classic Rock
