Any CP guitar players use Line 6?
Having issues with my Zoom amp modeling software, no longer being updated and the driver is horrible. I have to run it in a Windows XP VM which further screws up performance.
I'm think of switching to a Line 6 Spider amp. Has a more limited range of modeling options but doesn't depend on being connected to a computer. They get great reviews and I could get a 15W practice amp for under $100. |
- Which Zoom product were you using? I use a crusty 'ole G2.1u as my modeler
- What is the purpose of your amp (home recording, jamming with buddies, farting around, etc...)? |
1. I'm using the Zoom C5.1t foot controller with the ZFX modeling software. It's very similar to what you have. The problem is that I've since switched to a 64-bit operating system, so the software has to be run in a VM. They're no long updating anything. I really want to get away from being dependent on my computer.
2. Sitting in my room practicing scales and playing along with audio tracks. |
Have you checked out the Peavy Vypyr? It's the same price and it looks like it has some more effects and modeling options.

Get rid of the modeling amp and computer toys and just go buy a GOOD tube amp and try to find your own sound... :D

2) I've been playing for over 30 years. I have my own sound. That's not what I'm looking for here. |

How many tones do you REALLY need? (a question I've asked myself a lot of times) My list: very clean; mild overdrive; more overdrive; full on distortion; chorus can be added to all of the above as can delay and wah. I can add more variety by picking a guitar with humbuckers or one with single coil pickups. Have you looked at the Line 6 Modeling amps? I've heard good things about the newer ones, even if they are not my cup of tea (I don't like sounding like others...my tone is my own and is based mostly on a heavily overdriven Fender Super Reverb--my main amp; or a Fender Blues Junior--for practice). If your budget allows it, the Line 6 DT25 looks badass! |

Axe-FX paired with the right cabs will blow anything else away. Even the Line 6 HD500 is boss. There have been an abundance of professional musicians now come out and say that they cannot even tell the difference between digital modeling and the real deal anymore. Now, there is nothing wrong going with a vintage tube amp to get your tone, but to dismiss the quality of technology being put out and telling him he cannot find his "own sound" by going digital is just a very uneducated statement. |

htis,
The HD series (300,400,500) are phenomenal. If you are truly on a budget, I would get the 300 and then just find the most transparent mini practice amp you can find within your budget. |

I love the guys that use a bunch of pedals to get a sound that sounds like they aren't using pedals... IMNSHO, processed is processed whether it's digital or analog... |
