Great for recording (Indie/alternative rock)

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

Sorry for the late review. I bought this in December 2018, but got the chance to use it until February 2019. First of all, the package was really good packaged. It was received in good order. Secondly, the product itself is amazing. My style of genre is mostly indie/alternative rock. I didn't buy this for heavy metal/djent type of genres (otherwise I would have gone for the Axe FX models). I tried this on a high level on my first try, going through the banks with factory settings. I found out immediately a few good sounds. Next few tries I tried making my own preset/patch. It's easy from the machine itself (also from the software). The sound is really good.

The only thing I noticed was a light feedback (I connect it to 2x studio monitors, and fender american professional telecaster). I did a quick google and read that it might be the single coils of the tele. Anyway, I recorded a few songs and didn't hear the feedback.

I am a happy customer!

Replacement for effects pedals,

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a fantastic tool for up to four 1/4" instrumental lines or three lines and one xlr mic. 96khz sampling rate at 24 bit depth makes it sound genuine. With the ability to use custom made impulse response files and numerous effects, eqs, distortions, preamps, amps and cabs, this unit pretty much replaces effects pedal racks. The one downside i can think of is the AC hum on the outputs which will require you to get a hum destroyer or something similar in order to get a clean signal for production.

Windows Software is TERRIBLE

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020

The hardware is amazing and sounds incredible! I couldnt have been more excited about this thing, I could barely make it through work day after playing with it last night! But....

When I went to install the software on my Windows 10 machine the nightmare began. Initially the drivers did not appear to detect the device. It was detected as a USB Composite Device with a bad driver... Hmmmm... Searched the internet... nothing useful. Unplugged, replugged... no change. Installed the Helix app which supposedly includes the driver... computer HARD RESET... yikes.

Clearly a driver issue, I went to device manager and attempted to manually select the right driver since it probably wasnt the Microsoft Composite USB Device driver... Found the Helix driver, selected it.. Computer locks up completely. Breathing.... breathing... guess I get to do the hard reset manually this time!

Maybe the driver had a bad install. Complete uninstall. Re-install. Computer totally locks up again... i hard reset the machine. Look again for drivers... find two errors on their website - filtering software for Windows 10 shows Macintosh software and the Contact Us/Forum link goes to a Not found page... omg what a janky operation. okay send them some feedback.. Go find the drivers again... hmmm the latest driver says it fixes a crash with Logitech G-suite. I have Logitech G-suite... maybe I installed the wrong driver? Installed it... computer locks up again. UGGH.... I have to hard reset my machine AGAIN??

Okay... hard rest the machine, uninstall G-suite... reboot... Reinstall drivers.. okay! Device appears in the device manager under sound devices! What a $#^&* up experience.. File a support ticket to let them know...

Lets update the firmware! Download firmware updater... detects the device! Sweet. Update firmware. Says "device will reboot, this is okay!" Click continue... updating.. updating... PC hard resets AGAIN...... OMFG.... The device boots up with blank everything... sits there for a looooooong time.....

Finally I decide.. $^&($ it.... flip the power switch.... device comes up, LCD's have UI, "migrating presets..." ...

This is where I am right now with this device.... the unit itself... seems pretty awesome. the software experience on Windows... worst Ive ever seen. Not kidding. Ive seen a lot. This was TERRIBLE. I am waiting for this junk to hard reset PC in the middle of some awesome riff im recording....

fantastic piece of equipment, limitless combinations, great sound very close to analogic, especially when playing with a band (instead of comparing alone in a studio). Avoids carrying around a full amp

Buyer Beware! Looks like a quality product but there are issues and customer service is as bad as it gets.

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2016

This is a great piece of kit but overseas buyers beware.... I live in Hong Kong where Line 6 products are not available so purchased one of these when I was in the US last month. It has already developed a faulty "scribble strip" and the response from Line 6 is basically "bad luck" your warranty is not valid so you need to ship the unit to a distributor in China and pay them for the repair. That's it. So, I spent a ton on this and now need to spend unknown amounts more with a company that I don't know to get it working properly. World class product... possibly... World class service... hardly. First and last Line 6 product I will buy based on this experience.

UPDATE - Finally got the unit to a local distributor and they have identified the fault. Line 6 have informed them that it will take 4 month (FOUR MONTHS) to get the spare parts!!! Wow, had the unit for less than a month and now have to wait 4 months to get it repaired. Also, there is absolutely no way to contact Line 6 directly to complain. Not a single email address is listed publicly. The only way is to use their support ticket system which gets you in touch with an "I don't care" tech support administrator. Well done Line 6, this once loyal client is not longer so.

Excelente Producto

Reviewed in Mexico on August 6, 2020

Esta excelente el producto, buenos acabados (comparándola con la Line 6 POD X3 Live, Line 6 POD Floor), lo más atractivo físicamente son los juegos de luces led de cada pulsador, le da mucha presentación al equipo, llego en buenas condiciones, con un embalaje muy adecuado para las dimensiones del mismo, suena genial! Soy usuario de esta marca desde hace ya 10 años. Lo que no me gusto fue que después de que realice compra vía online, salió otra oferta del mismo producto con otro proveedor, pero más barato (2,000 MXN), aún así recomiendo esta pedalera, aunque el costo está un poco elevado para la situación económica actual por la pandemia, así como nuestra dependencia económica vs USD, se trata de un equipo profesional excelente para los que nos gusta tocar la guitarra y “sonar” más decentemente.
