Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
And the VG-8 was without question a modelling unit.
Indeed. I think we've clarified that Line6 didn't single-handedly invent modelling though, and weren't even first to market, so we can move on.

And yes, that is my opinion of VG8. And I *HAVE* owned one. I didn't like it. I don't like the hex pickup system that Roland use, and I don't like Roland/Boss sounds in general. Thats my personal prejudice. Some of the stuff VG8 did was pretty groundbreaking and yes, there was some stuff on there that Line6 have chosen not to get involved with - but thats got more to do with IP than whether or not it was in any way 'better'. How long did it take for Line6 to catch up... well, bearing in mind that everyone bought PODs and very few bought the VG, I'd say "not very long at all", if they were ever "behind".
As @fretwired states above whilst the VG8 came out first, it was literally only by months - plus as very few people bought it (for *whatever* reason - happy? Unlikely...) there was no modelling to speak of until Line6 came along for the common muso. Not revisionist, just discounting the VG as it really didn't appeal to many folks... and still *doesn't*.
We can go around in pedantic circles all day, if you want to Spork... I don't care.
There's things I've had, there's things I wanna have"
You said something stupid when you claimed that modelling didn't exist before Line 6. At least now you've manned-up and admitted it.

Rule 1 Spork... don’t be a dick.
But yet again you are being one.
You don’t agree with my POV - fine, I don’t agree with yours. But the difference is, I don’t use insults or negativity and call upon 1st hand experiences - yet you seek to rubbish them, why? Point scoring is childish, daft and irrelevant to this. Grow up.
As said above, this was about the new L6 product. As I’ve said, I wish it well - it looks great. I’m stepping away from this, I suggest you do similar chap.
Feel free to continue it via pm. Don’t involve the rest of us. Nobody cares who wins.
i still find even some of todays modellers have same issue. By getting too complicated and trying to sound closer to original items they actually took finger off ball on the does it sound properly epic. With a few exceptions of course.
if speaker works well could be good for some people.
sorry, couldnt resist ;-)
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
But we digress. Back on topic - I’m keen to see how well this does and is received and if it causes any more pros to move over to using the Helix etc.
I'll be looking at a Line 6 powercab at some point I suspect.. haven't really taken to the powered monitor solution for live (I have an ALTO); the idea of a backline cab seems "normal", Old habits die hard I guess.

Just need to figure out if I need the plus or the standard.
