Happy with mine. Need to spend some time tweaking my presets when I get the chance.
Did you ever go back to try the Powercab again or was it just a bit meh?null_pointer wrote:I'm back on the bus again too. Sounds amazing for bass, last session I just used the IncuBass preset with a fuzz pedal, really happy with the tone. Jason Sadites on YooToob has some great tutorials on setting up patches (chains, where to put eq, how to get sag etc) that bring out the more realistic 'in the room' tone (especially when compared to the stock guitar patches) - well worth checking out.
Im loving mine...mainly using the speaker emulation at the moment. I might use the FRFR function for some stuff but being able to swap the speaker in a cab on demand is pretty cool. I was comfortable with the L3M as an frfr but the Power cab is definitely more like having an amp - taking the mic and monitoring out of the chain does seem to make it feel more immediate.StratMatt wrote:

$599 USD tho'GrantB wrote:https://line6.com/hx-stomp/
Interested. Kill off my M9 and M13...and have amp backup or DI options.
I bet it sounds great, I am concerned that it doesn't have the intuitive "just adjust on the fly" factor of the M9 or M13. As soon as you start simplifying the interface with less dedicated buttons, it makes it more complex to use and tweak under pressure.GrantB wrote:https://line6.com/hx-stomp/

Me too. I need to have a go with one. Waiting for the RS to get stock. Price is the same as the larger one...which seems strange.Terexgeek wrote:I bet it sounds great, I am concerned that it doesn't have the intuitive "just adjust on the fly" factor of the M9 or M13.

Yes, I saw this and am interested too. I was hoping to get one before I headed back from the USA on my last trip (last week), but they were not available yet. There is a current Helix effects only unit which is bigger, supports longer effects chains and is probably easier to use live, but it does not do amps (though it does IRs). Hopefully, I'll be headed back there soon.GrantB wrote:https://line6.com/hx-stomp/
