zZounds Gear Experts Say...
300 watts stereo into 4,8 or 16 ohm cabinets. 14 truly evolved custom Line 6 amp models.
Overview
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.

There's even a dedicated Compressor and Gate, plus 16 classic reverb types ranging from Plate and Chamber to vintage Spring.

"MIND BLOWING"
First of all, Im a drummer who has been playing guitar almost as long as drums(30+yrs). Im a highly versatile schooled musician, been through practically every genre. I thought Id just about heard it all -til now. When I got this head Id been playing thru an old red face 50 watt spider combo, and almost never switched off the insane setting. Now I hardly touch it. The amp has so many settings that it would be unimaginable that a player couldnt find a tone he (or she) would like.
Sound
The sound quality is phenominal. The amp has incredible depth, and remains completely consistent no matter where or how its used. The "models" are extremely close to the originals, but spend a bit of time going thru each setting and you'll surely end up with a sound you'll claim as your own.
Features
I switch back and forth thru the models, usually sticking to the overdriven, hi-gain settings. I mainly play a Washburn Dimebag, K model w/ Buz Feiten, Bill Lawrence L500xl bridge, stock neck p-ups, 400 watt Carvin stereo 4-12 cab. I have yet to find any features that arent useful. I dont mess with the cabinet models, and with what Im playing thru why would I?
Ease of Use
Its as easy as turning a knob, and the head highly compliments my equipment AND my playing style(self-taught). The tones I get are brutal, over the top, pure metal. I will say its easily the most ballsy amp Ive EVER heard or played thru.… read more
Quality
I just got the thing, so I can't really comment on this section too much. I own other L6 products, and they are definitely well made. I would say that with the face being chrome-plate one could obviously scratch it up if not taken care of, but I love this ho so much that no one is allowed to touch it !
Value
I payed $350.00 for this head, which is probably the deal of a lifetime considering just how many settings it has, and the previous owner kept it looking brand new.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed them.
The Wow Factor
This head has it all - wicked looks and tones, not too heavy, no tubes to bonk out. I haven't ever seen a head that looked better, it puts on its own light show, and chrome plated too? If anyone reading this plays seriously, DO NOT EVER pass on the chance to check this thing out.
Musical Background:
playing for 30+ yrs. drums is my main, i play guitar, bass, a bit of piano, sax, trumpet, trombone, some lead and backing voc.
Musical Style:
Prog metal, rock, fusion, jazz, blues, modern country. read less
