zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature: Built in tuner, aux input Ease of Use: Poor quality of included instructions and the online ones need to be better as well. It's very difficult to mod the sound as the range of controls is so limited that the slightest change has a major effect. Combined with poor manuals it becomes a guessing game for an otherwise well-built and sturdy product. Quality: For inexpensive components I've been delighted with the build quality. No sharp edges, no mismatched or out of alignment panels, solid switches and pots, very well made. Now put so more time into your documentation so its quality matches the hardware. Value: It was definitely a bargain! Even at the retail (not MSRP) price I didn't hesitate. Manufacturer Support: It's very hard to find support, to find where to email questions and find on-line answers. However, having said that, once I did find it, I've gotten responses from staff in a reasonable amount of time. The Wow Factor: This is a meaningless question. Form follows function. I don't give a rat's posterior what other people think. It's like asking about the sex appeal of an axe, not a guitar, but the tool you chop would with. Overall: I see no reason to replace it. It's a practice amp and inexpensive enough for an impulse buy. I've added the FPV express and may use a stomp box or two but that's it. It fills a niche.

Sound: sq is good - excellent...response is fine...it is compatible with my style; blues...no data on sound in different settings as i use it in the basement...i placed it on a box so it is ~ at head level when seated on our couch where i play Feature: for a sub $100 practice amp (which is all it is of course) it has loads of flexability...it has a built in tuner which i found useful but didn't use more than a few times as i have headstock tuners on all my axes... Ease of Use: with my limited eyesight i found it hard to see the 'dot' or pointer (a little black dot) on each knob to indicate position...i will probably either re-paint over the black dot with my wife's brightest nail polish or devise an orange or red piece of adhesive label to show what the settings are Quality: seem good so far (~ 5 weeks)...time will tell...seems solid, no rattling when moved Value: list is ~$100...i got it for $85...i think it is a good value...it may not have the most expansive effects sections but you can develop different sounds so your practicing doesn't sound repetitive Manufacturer Support: n/a...haven't had a reason to contact them The Wow Factor: features per dollar is pretty good...a fair amount of features for not a lot of $$ Overall: i expect it to meet my needs for a long, long time (at least 4-5 years)

Sound: The amps sounds great. The tone is fuller than I expected. Especially on the clean channel. With the Drive and EQ set properly (Treble 2, Mid 2, Bass 6), softer, smoothly overdriven sounds can be coaxed from the amp (channel 2). Obviously, it does not stand a chance against a cranked vintage tube amp but the Line6 is pretty impressive. Feature: The four channels and the effects are decent and allow for a wide range of tones. Given the price, the Line6 is a good entry model amp. Save's $100's on stomp boxes. The MP3 jack is a great addition for jamming along with an iPod. Ease of Use: Dead easy to use. Saving your favourite sound settings is a snap. Quality: Well built, solid as a tank but light. Therefore, good portability. The corners are protected why rugged plastic. Value: $99.99 is a bargain, $150.00 would be still acceptable ($199.99 MSRP) Manufacturer Support: N/A (except, www.line6.com could post more settings and background info. Its terse, at best). The Wow Factor: Looks a little plasticky. But to be expected given the price. Overall: Sounds great, excellent features, very decent quality, killer price.

Sound: Rich full sound. Best 15W amp on the market. I tried them all. Liked it so much I bought 2. One for the practice room, and one for my bedroom. I can make it sound like my Super Reverb, or a Marshall Full Stack. So much depth and presence from an 8" speaker. Feature: So many features for this little powerhouse. I bought the FBV Express Mk II to operate it. It is fine without it but what an awesome accessory to have. Ease of Use: You download the full manual from Line 6, but this amp is very un-complicated, and even has a built in tuner. Quality: Both of my amp's came packaged well, and were in flawless condition. Value: Sounds better than all the rest. Easily worth twice the money. Manufacturer Support: Never needed support. The Wow Factor: Don't want to crank up the beast but you want those beastly sounds we all love and crave? Get this little monster. Overall: I own 4 Line 6 amps. I've had the HD IV 150 head for 2 years, still perfect. I have had a Spider with 2 10's and 75 watts for over 10 years, still perfect. So I have high expectations for this unit and I am sure my expectations will be met.

Manufacturer Support: NA The Wow Factor: this thing i first saw in a local shop. plugged in a esp and rocked out and i knew i had to buy it. i owned a 75w version too, only reason i replaced it is i lost it in a storm. will probally but the 75 again. this is perfect for late nite jamming or carrying to band practice. Overall: it will last a lifetime. would only replace it for a bigger version of the same amp.
