Line 6 LD300 LowDown Pro Bass Combo Amplifier (300 Watts, 1x15 in.)
300-watt 1 x 15 combo with amp modeling and effects.
"An Amazingly versatile and powerfully punchy bass amp."
Feature:
The different amp personalities are endlessly useful. The fx are good but take a little tweeking, as does the Synth mode. I first thought the Synth was just a gimmick, but with some tweeking and practice on technique, have found that it is very useful and powerful. The FBV Shortboard makes the total package.
Quality:
Seems a little less robust than some "pro" amps, but still up there with the best built.
Value:
There is no other amp in any price range to compare with LowDown series of amps. It is total value for money.
Desirability:
Looks really cool. The front panel is a bit plain, but very "modern looking. Wish the knobs were marked on top rather than underneath.
Sound:
The LD300 sounds amazing! I've compared the different amp modes to the original amps , and they are spot on. There is actually more flexibility available than most of the originals. For instance - a 300watt B-15 does not become an SVT-it stays B-15 but LOUD. So versatile-there is no other bass amp out there like this one. I've played P-bass, J-bass, Rickenbacker, Danelectro, Jaguar, Hofner and Burns thru this amp and have been able to get any sound I go for with any bass.
Ease of Use:
This amp was so easy to use and set. The memory locations are simple to use.
Support:
No problems.
Overall:
The only reason I would change from the LD300 is to use a different speaker cabinet.

"GREAT SOUND! Maybe the Bass POD + your existing rig may be better."
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:Great features in a combo amp. 300 watts is very loud on certain preamp settings. Decent effects, preamps, routing for live or recording direct. Good carrying handles, however I don't trust carrying this heavy amp around and it staying in one piece.
Quality:
My biggest concern is the amp casing. It is particle board: not the best resonance, not the best durability. My first amp came damamged via UPS delivery and showed its chipboardiness qualities. Second one came entact, but I wouldnt move this heavy SOB to to many garages to gig, it could EASILY get damaged. Great preamp and nice finished look, but anyone that knows a quality amp will recognize the cheapness of the casing.
Value:
Very good value. Lots of sonic possibilities. Cheap casing. For the money you get a lot of sound. I would pay for this over the LD150 or LD175 any day.
Desirability:
Tis nice, but you could always get a Pod bass preamp to add to your Ampeg.
Sound:
Very good sound. The Horn can be turned off, which gives even more sonic possibilities.
Ease of Use:
Damn easy. With an FBV shortboard pedal it is more processing power than I need.
Support:
AWESOME! You cannot go wrong with their customer support. Replacement? NOT EVEN A PROBLEM!
Overall:
I think if I don't move it to too many gigs, or practice areas, I will have it for many years. It will sit on my stand in my studio for now on.
"Fat to slap get this amp."

Feature:300 watt head, 15 inch speaker and a horn you can disable. Wow. More effects than I'll ever use. Cool handles.
Quality:
fiberboard? My amp arrived just fine not a mark on it, but the fiberboard worries me.
Value:
Man I spent a lot of time playing amps in my budget. I ended up spending half what I expected on the LowDown 300 Pro because it rips. Great Value.
Desirability:
This could be a ten on the sexy factor if it had castors.
Sound:
I'm new to the Bass but I have studied a played music all of my life. I played through many amps during my research and I liked many of the amps that I played through. The Line 6 does all of the sounds justice and it rips the SVT.
Ease of Use:
Plug it in and play.
Support:
All I've done for support is collect the free FBV Express board. That was super easy.
Overall:
I'm sure I will play this amp for years.
