  1. I've got the exact same Line 6 and admittedly, it's a good beginner amp, but when you get used to it, you find out that it's actually quite awful.

    Yeah, it was nice when it was like "Whoooah, me has electric guitar!!!! Me make noise." Now when I've started caring a bit more about tone and stuff, I hate it. There's no life to it. And the metal and insane channels are the most awful things ever. Who the hell wants to sound like a fucking chainsaw really? It's an amp that's nice when you're new to guitar. When you're a bit more into it, fuck no.

    When I got it I thought it was cool to be able to press four different buttons and get four different sounds to me murdering the Angel Of Harlem riff.
  3. I'm not saying that Line6 in particular is good. It's just that there are much better options. If your budget is between 150 and 200 bucks, go for a Peavey Vypyr30W, terrific tone and highly customizable.


    I'm going to get a Fame T60R next week for 80€, used but in excellent condition. THAT is a decent amp for the buck, read about it or something. I considered the Fander G3DEC (or similar) for 120€ but went for the Fame instead. It sounds sweeeeeet and haaaarsh when you need it.
  4. No Vypyr. I don't want a digital modelling amp I don't need a highly customizable amp. I know what kind of sound I'm looking for in an amp now. A sound I then intend to grow with pedals and kind of develop with it. I'd say digital modelling is good when you don't know what sound you want though.

    To me it sounds like a Pathfinder would serve me pretty well until the dream of a Vox AC30 becomes reality.
  5. Also, if I really like it, it's tempting to go for another one and do stereo.
  6. I think I'm a Fender Blues Jr. man for life. I've had mine modded a bit and it just sounds so awesome and it's perfect for my style. Couldn't ask for anything else!

    Didn't you have an AC30? Or did you sell that?

    THAT is another effin' great amp. I was tempted myself.
  9. I agree with the love for the Fender Blues Junior amps. The VOS and various Limited Editions all have something to offer over the stock black or stock tweed versions.

    I recently bought two Fender Blues Juniors:
    2011 Fender Blues Junior - Western Limited Editions w/Eminence speaker
    2011 Fender Blues Junior - Navy Blue Limited Editions w/Celestion V30 speaker

    Me? I went a bit happy with the buying, recently:

    I also bought (3) guitars.
    2012 Gibson SG VOS (Courtesy of Route 66 Classic Guitars - I highly recommend them)

  11. I did have one, sold it though. It was WAY too much power for what I was using it for, and even then I barely ever used it once I got my Blues Jr. It basically became a 1500$ boulder in my basement that was there because I liked having the same amp (but not really the same) as Edge. Once I realized that I also realized that I was being ridiculous keeping it and the money could be put to better use!

    Funnily enough while most musicians' setups grow as their time as a musician grows, mine has gotten somewhat smaller. Now I'm down to two guitars, the blues junior, a Line 6 M9 and I also have a ZT Lunchbox. Never been happier.
  12. haha that's a curious progression

    By the way, Alex, I'm guessing you ended up selling that custom Epi from some months ago?
