Re: Line 6 power cab
They look good. light too. would be interesting to try one against a L2T with a helix using the same IR. I am guessing there may not be much of a difference. pondering one of these.

Re: Line 6 power cab
For me I wouldn't see the need to pay extra for the plus model but I like the idea. We're too far away to make buying the Matrix or Xitone offerings worth buying but this is something I'd definitely consider. Was using L3Ms in stereo as my backline but they're the PA speakers now.
Loving it so far

Re: Line 6 power cab
This would probably solve my main issue with modellers - not feeling like I’m playing a real amp ‘in the room’. No issues with the PA signal but always a little underwhelmed with the ‘local’ sound. Will seriously consider.

I'm not sure if this is correct - it has line in, not a speaker input.SimpleSi wrote:Doubles as a cab for any other amp head.
Not that I care, because... Line 6.

Re: Line 6 power cab
i think they have addressed this with the speaker models on the unit,as opposed to your usual ir which is a "speaker + mic".I've never tried a proper FRFR cab but its defo wierd for me playing an IR/ PA combo with other traditional amp setups in a practice settingnull_pointer wrote:This would probably solve my main issue with modellers - not feeling like I’m playing a real amp ‘in the room’.

Re: Line 6 power cab
Ok, had about a 45 min blat. While I can definitely hear the difference when switching speaker models, my take at this stage is that I'd need to spend more time really A/Bing with a FRFR+speaker/IR to see if there is actually something gained (given the Plus is $1499, which is about what you can get a deal on an L3m for). This is for Helix of course, if you have a HD500 or whatever, you don't already have IR options so well worth it.
I kinda wanted to walk in, grab the Deluxe model (no speaker), drop into the Power Cab then boom, there's my DRRI. It wasn't like that at all, still overly bright and needing a decent amount of massaging. This is partially expected (the base settings I've found never do justice), but the speaker didn't add sag like I was hoping for/expecting. I might see if I can borrow one for a few days to test out against Helix->Torpedo Live-> FRFR also, as well as if I can rustle up a good power amp I'd love to try Helix->Power Amp->Dr Z cab and see how the FRFR competes with a great real cab.
