Fred_C Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I decided to spend my tax refund on gear. Hence, the Bartolini pickups. It was a pretty small refund. Not enough for a new guitar. So I was shopping around and came across the Line 6 Amplifi 30 table top amplifier. This thing appears to be amazing!!! It's about the size of a briefcase and designed to sit on a table. Output is 30 watts STEREO into two "4 way" speakers. It is Blutoooth capable and will function as a music system. There is a software interface to what appears to be limitless options. If you play along with a tune, the amplifier will emulate the tone of the guitar on the recording. FRICKIN' AMAZING. It just arrived yesterday and I have not yet opened the box, but I think it's going to be a lot of fun! You gents have to check this out to find out all the stuff this little cutie will do. https://line6.com/amplifi/ If you play cool, you are cool.

Winston Psmith Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Great find, Fred C.! One of my friends in the EM community is very happy with her Helix system, as well. Lots of great sounds, some of them unique to Line 6. Have fun! "Monsters are real, and Ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win."

desertbluesman Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Enjoy amigo. It looks cool. I always liked the Line 6 stuff more than the rest of that kind of thing. My Line 6 Pod XT was a great modeler, I got some smokin sounds out of that until I gave it to my kiddo... dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryz Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I know you'll be calling some of the greats down from out that cloud Brother Fred! (my 1st would be Santana!). Have fun with the new tool and keep us posted on any new sounds you discover. You are now an official techie! Congrats! Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_C Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Thanks for the kind words, gents. @Bro. Larry: No, I'm not a techie. I am basically a "plug and play" kind of guy. I normally plug a guitar straight into the clean channel of the amp, tune up and start playing. I will probably not use 80-90% of the functionality of this amp. But I am looking forward to having aa high quality Bluetooth speaker in my bedroom to listen to Pandora, YouTube and other musical sources. If you play cool, you are cool.

Larryz Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 +1 Brother Fred, I'm a straight in kind of guy too...but, if I could call up a favorite player and get some of his settings, I would give it a try. I wonder if there are any jazz chord melody players up there to choose from? Maybe capture the sound of any of your favorite players just by playing along with their CD...Main thing, is have fun with it. Listening pleasure is always another reason for getting enjoyment out of it, but do experiment a little and let us know what you find...I'm hoping it really sounds great!

skipclone 1 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 That sounds like a blast! I was waiting for the `you can ONLY use preset sounds` caveat, but it looks like you can create and store your own as well-sold. Good find!

whitefang Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Sure. Do keep us all posted as to how much you're enjoying it. And I DO sincerely hope for your sake it's not an "all gimmick/no glory" electronic toy. The whole concept does sound amazing. Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

p90jr Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I got a facebook ad alerting me that Lovepedal was having a sale in its shopify store... I was drifting to sleep in bed, perhaps a susceptible time? Anyway, I couldn't resist, with a code that took 50% off, I ended up ordering pedals I've always read good reviews of for the price of one ($150)... their Blacktop Deluxe and JTM overdrive pedals and Hermida EPH-3 (tape echo simulator) Delay pedal... the pedals aren't built, yet, so I'm not sure when they'll be delivered, but I'll let you know how I like them... if nothing else, I could sell them to "internet ordering averse" folks here for list price if I don't like them. I also was half-asleep and didn't think to share the info of the sale here, so I apologize, but it was around midnight so I'm not sure who would've seen it in time... I think I just beat the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior 1 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I've been using Lovepedal pedals for the last year. A Champ, Jubilee and Stir of Echoes. Great overdriven low volume sounds for bedroom practice. The Stir of Echoes is the delay I've always looked for. I saw the sale, he does that a couple times a month. Great pedals.

Larry, We really do think alike. It was just yesterday that I was thinking t that I could get a tone like Joe Pass or Johnny Smith orJim Hall. I promise you that I will experiment. This really does seem like a fun toy. I am looking forward to playing music through it. I also like the idea of listening to the vast library of music on YouTube (man, there's everything out there) and listening to some great artists on Pandora. If you play cool, you are cool.

Larryz Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 You probably won't believe this Brother Fred, but I was actually thinking of Joe Pass when I wrote the above! Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
