Line 6 LowDown HD400 Head Customer Review

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Sound
First off I have been playing bass for 28 years. I have played Eden, Ampeg, Mesa/Boogie 400+, Fender etc. The setting are real good on this amp. You might have to tinker with it to get your sound but it isn't hard. It gets more then loud enough for any gig. The Chorus is my favorate effect but the distortion is good too. I compared the sound of the chorus with my Boss CEB-3 Chorus Pedal and the sound was real close.
Features
This amp is not a one trick pony. There are plenty of great sounds. This amp is more bang for the buck.
Ease of Use
This amp was not hard to troubleshoot and get a good sound out of at all. Go check out Line 6's Website. They have some really good presets on it.
Quality
This product is built like a tank and looks great. I have had gigged with it for 7 months. No problems.
Value
The price on this amp does not do it any justice. If you are on a budget and need a amp in the $300-$750 range this is your amp.
Manufacturer Support
I have never had to deal with the company. I have not had any problems.
The Wow Factor
This amp looks great.

Sound
I will characterize the sound as "anything you want it to be" If you play in acover band at all this amp is great, you can play things like AIC & Velevet Revolver in one setting, Elvis Costello & Motown in another, Audio Slave/Mastodon in yet another, Iron Maiden, Rush, the possibilities are many. Some sounds are better than others, in some settings it can be noisy at low levels and you'll want to mute it, or turn your bass volume down when not playing. The "Synth" mode, I haven't figured out what to do with it yet, not a big fan of it. The grind setting has the fattest low end I've heard of any bass overdrive/distortion they did a nice job of blending a clean signal in with it to thicken it up. I have always been a pbass player (EMG selects) and at no time does this amp sound muddy or unclear with it.
Features
The amp itself really is an accessory, there isn't much you can't do with it. The filter, octaver, and chorus all sound great and track very well. The four presets aren't enough but there is a pedal for that. A foot switch for the presets would make this amp perfect.
Ease of Use
Could be just me not reading the owner's manual thoroughly enough but the EQ knobs seem to do wierd things when playing in preset channels for example, the overdrive knob seems to clean up some of the dirt in the rock channel and the high/low mid knobs can do some wonky things too.
Quality
Nothing loose, nothing has broken yet after several gigs.
Value
For the price, you cannot beat it. I can't think of another amp in the $300 - $500 range that does whaat this thing can do.
Manufacturer Support
Have not had to deal with them yet. Their website appears to be helpful with downloads, discussion forums, etc.
The Wow Factor
The first thing anyone says when they see it is "Man that thing looks cool" and it does.
