Don't miss that with the Bassman amp. you also have gotten the Bassman Cabinet, it says that it is loaded with 2 15 inch D130 JBL speakers, those Most likely are the type used by SRV, which those fans will want to check out. The JBL's were the upgrade in Fender Amps. I never owned one with them, but knew a couple people who did, but the 70's was along time ago, so not much sound memory for them. But would surely be Worth checking out to use with any Amp. combination for sure.

The simple fact that Fender is introducing a competitive product will raise all their competitor's game. If you don't believe that, then you don't understand or haven't been in the game. When a company the size of Fender enters your game, you will pay attention, you will jack up your R & D, you will be more attentive to your customer base. Don't get me wrong, it's a good thing and makes for better products for us all. There is no "better or worse", especially in an artistic field IMO. There's only better or worse FOR YOU.

When you dial in a tone, using your ears and sensibilities, you generally get something very, very similar, regardless of what amp model, type, or even platform you're using. Is that evidence that a lot of this is overblown? I ask this as a 3X HX Stomp, F9, and 2X Tonex owner.

He has in at least the last 2 years covered every one of them at one point or another, whatever amp. name, just do a search on his video page, put the amp. name in and a video most likely will come up. Especially the litigator, the grammatico, he did 3 presets for Helix for the grammatico on it's release, you get those with a Helix purchase. The same goes for his work with G66 and the Fractal units. If John does not have it covered, Leon Todd would.

Like it transients compress like the amp is breaking up, but without any of the breakup. Honestly, it is a sound that I've been literally chasing my whole guitar playing life, before Cory Wong's Archetype! Being able to have that same thing in the Helix ecosystem of effects and cabs is godly!

Dumb question. Why do they make so many dumble models? Not complaining I just didn’t realize there were that many flavors. Also when it comes to Line 6 amps i dont fully understand why they make Line 6 models instead of their respective counterparts. Is it to allow them more freedom and creativity in designing the controls and response of the amps?
@newyeareves
10 ай бұрын
This may not be the case for every Line 6 amp, but iirc, sometimes they are taking creative liberties that are really only feasible in a digital setting and not possible on a wired amp. So they end up calling it their own thing because it may have been “inspired by” but not “modeled after” an amp.
