Still completely unimpressed with Line 6.

Ya, some of the live things are not that good. I've noticed that with the Digitech GSP1101 as well. Queensryche is using them instead of amps now and there isn't any presence in the distorted patches but the clean patches sound really good live.

I'll bet good money that Queensryche is DI'ing the gear to the desk and using FRFR monitors live.........................but you're talking big money pro audio here.

They are DI to the desk but what is FRFR? They are using in IEMs.

I really didn't think much of Line 6,Then I heard Arlo West and found out he uses a Flextone and has for a long time well all I can say is he found he's tone and it sounds good to me.I'm sure as the others have said he played and tweaked until he got what he likes.Sumi

Steve Howe has been using a Line 6 amp live for sometime now too.

or maybe you just dont know how to tweak the spiders to make them sound good. i dont give a crap if people say 'the presets are crap', some are, some are not. it depends on either what you like, or what you like should sound like.... ive got a spider III 210, and im impressed on the tweakability that i can do to make standard settings sound more like my own sound, frankly, you shouldnt be giving line 6 the thumbs down just because of your own experiences. remember that that every guitarist has their own liking, and not every guitarist here believes in amps being the problem to our sound :

This is one reason why we have forums for good and bad opinion on products based on ones own experiences,just like you voiced yours.This forum is a very friendly nonconfrontational type of forum unlike most brother.That is my own opinion.: Lets try to be respectful when voicing our own, brothers and sisters.If we dont we loose the magic we share here

I only used your quote as a stepping stone reminder to newer members not as a specific spotlight on you or your post.Thank you

Dude, that's actually pretty funny. It seems we always blame something for our shortcomings other than ourselves. Personally I blame my playing/tone issues on old strings and lots of flatulence. I don't think I have a problem with my sound but it seems I'm almost never satisfied with what I do have.

Great observation.

My opinion of Line 6 gear is my own, based on my tastes and experiences. Nowhere did I imply that my tastes are to be universally accepted by all guitar players all over the world.

Chill out, dude......................................if Line 6 works for you it's all good.

Spud, FRFR is Full Range Flat Response - monitors. IEM's are FRFR also.
