A lad in Buckinghamshire near J2 of the M40 has said he's got 20 pre-production pieces for sale, via his other mate's ebay address.



He also sells cameras and VW parts.



Might be worth a punt

There's a Scottish bloke too

Quite a bit more info has just gone up on the site. Full list of amp,fx, cabs etc. Some demos too which for some reason i can't listen to on my pooter.

Well I won't be playing my favorite reverse delay solos with a phaser

Really? No phaser and no reverse delay? I suspect they will come in a firmware update but those aren't unusual effects. I'm surprised they're not in there.

rossyamaha

I blame the Klon model. Takes a lot of DSP to accurately model the goop.

rossyamaha

In all seriousness, it is a strange omission but it will come.

ElectroDan

Found the lists (eventually), but the only demo's I could find were the ones Drew posted days ago.

The Line 6 forum has a post from Digital Igloo (also of this parish) which I hope he won't mind me quoting:

"List is missing:

MODS:

60s Bias Trem

Optical Trem

Script Mod Phase"

More info just added to their website.

Quite an impressive list of amps and FX in there.. BUT missing Friedman.. I want one as a backup for my BE100.. no Friedman model puts it back to the bottom of the list for me.

I the time it took to make that beautiful presentation, someone could've recorded some clips so we could actually hear more of how it sounds. No wonder it took 4 years to make the thing.

Its cute that the Sonic distortion mdoel is nicknamed hedgehog

Phase is for plebs.

I'm still in.

Digital_Igloo

There's a phaser (and two trems). Unfortunately, the site went live without my proofreading it.

ThePrettyDamned

My god, it looks so goddamn good.

I won't be able to afford one, but I'm really looking forward to going into a shop and trying one out.

Cabicular

Is it just me or does the line 6 stuff sound a bit digital clangy these days?
Don't get me wrong I'm a massive fan of their stuff but since the hd500 I've notice a definite metallic high end ringing to almost all of the tones that really puts me off
I'm hearing it on these Helix videos too

OOOOOOOOOOOO

Damn you, Line 6.  I had settled into a nice groove of not buying new shiny things and being perfectly content with what I had.

Anyone know what eBay category is best for listing kidneys?

dindude

Hhhmmm, need to hear that latest clip on some proper speakers. On iPad speakers not feeling those tones too much.

Drew_TNBD

There wasn't a single bad tone in that video. Great stuff.
