Feature:
Tone presets are great, but I wish the could make it a little like the POD XT where you could add model packs. If you know Line 6, this adds more amps, cabs, & effects. All its features are easy to use though and great! 1 amp takes the place of many!

Quality:
Made very well! Very reliable! Ive used this Combo in gigs stand alone! It has more than enough power to rock the house down! Have had no other problems.

Value:
For the price its awesome! Well worth every penny. Why buy 1 Head when you can get almost ever amp head your looking for in one? for hlaf the price and a Marshall Mode 4 I used to own! use to!

Desirability:
I like looks of a product, but I expect performance over looks anyday! And thats the reason I bought it. But it still looks good anyways on a Combo Amp Stand.

Sound:
Theres almost nothing you cannot do with this amp! Tones and possiblities are endless! Its comatible with every musical style I play. Jazz, Blues,Pop, Rock, Metal, Alternative, and my own styles as well.

Ease of Use:
Simple! Routing to other products like Mixing Boards, Midi etc... Loop Samplers like the DL4 Delay Modeler Pedal? Simple! And you really dont need the manual its so easy to use, other than finding out what models of effects, amps, and cabinets your using?

Support:
Never needed any!

Overall:
Ive had it for over 3 years now and havent wanted to look for anything else other than the POD XT to add to my collection of Line 6 Equipment. Ive had Crate, Marshall and many other products out there, and I have completely switched to Line 6 equipment. They have the market cornered at this moment in time. Dont fall for cheap imitations of modelers out there just yet. Ive had them all and none compare!

Feature:
I use the tremolo, reverb, chorus and ping pong most. I don't use or like grunge, clean for me. It delivers !

Quality:
Extra well made with English Celestion speakers. I would say it's built like a tank.

Desirability:
It looks like a Bluesbreaker but much better and more flexible and a lot cheaper !

Sound:
Well engineered and universal combo amp. Great with single or double coil pickups !

Ease of Use:
Manual is crystal clear, amp is simple to operate. Controls are very straight up simple with lots of possibilities.

Support:
Have never needed repairs as yet.

Overall:
I expect this amp to last well after I'm gone and yes, I'd look for another one like it. I've played many many amps and this one is tops !

The cabnet sounds are the best. i have mine set with a marshall head with a mesa cab.

Feature:
Great models it could have more.

Quality:
Not good for harsh road work but the local cover\wedding band will have good use for it.

Value:
Kinda over priced.

Desirability:
If it were a head you could run it through a tube amp and get the tube warmth it lacks but it's a solid state combo none the less.

Sound:
Good but digital and no tube warmth like the models it has.

Support:
LIne 6 does have great support.

Overall:
Don't really pay too much attention to an overall rating from a guy who doesn't own it.

Feature:
You should buy the floor board so you can get everything out of this amp: The only thing I find that I dontlike is for the external jacks on the back-they have a plastic ring on the outside and can break. I really love the xlr mic jacks - you don;t need to compete with someone who has a full stack of Marshals.. the electronics here are so solid you can go right into the mains and use the amo as your monitor.

Quality:
As stated before the plastic rings for external jacks are a concern. everything else is great/.

Value:
can't compare

Desirability:
excellent amp for anyone

Sound:
There are 2 types of players:1 bare bones tube and 2. effects players. This amp will please both and possibly make a couple bare bones guys change their view about effects. I don;t need to use anything else but this amp and my floor controller to duplicate almost anything. with the volume pedal used as swell I can even get a 'string's sound with a little delay. very impressive. This amp will serve well someone who is into recording or live production/

Support:
never needed it ; but some minor parts are tough to find for the layman

Overall:
won;t use anything else from now on.

Feature:
It comes with 4 built in fully adjustable preset channels, and you can upgrade to 36 with the shortboard. The knobs are easy to use, and amp model changes and cab changes are a snap. I dont like the way they set up the delay and modulation effects knobs in that for instance you lose your number of echo repeats if you go to adjust the echo relative volume... Dont know why they did that...

Quality:
Tough, and good looking. I am a little worried about tearing the mesh over the speakers... but there is a soft road cover.

Value:
Knock out amp for $700!

Sound:
This amp has so much going for it, I find it difficult to describe. The variety you get out of the different models, the quality of the onboard effects, the magnitude of the 150 watts of power, and easy interface, all make the amp a real keeper. The amp models take some tweaking, and that is easy to do. The different cabinet models change the tone dramatically. Some people on the Line6 forum gripe about a couple of the marshall amp models, but not having owned those amps myself, I must say the sounds are great. An important tweak to know about is to turn off the noise gate when adjusting drive and tone, and then turn it on, as the gate cuts a lot of drive occassionally. I also push it at times with an Electro Harmonix overdrive, and it sounds great with that. I recommend getting the shortboard for foot control.

Support:
No idea.
