I have owned this head for 3 years now. Played about 100+ shows with it and never had a problem. And I bought mine used! I would have to say that for the trade off for real tube tone...the price is a little bit high. So if you play just one style of metal or rock and dont really use effects and different tones then buy a tube amp and a noise gate. If not, then this amp will give you pretty much any tone you need. The effects are lush and thick sounding with awesome delays and the reverb is pretty damn good too. Not lexicon, but better than boss or digitech. I run a blackstar tube pre pedal to the hd 147 and out to a marshall power amp....awesome sound. You can still tell its digital, but 90% of people couldn't tell. Plus if the tube amp breaks down, I have 300watts of backup solid state power.

This head is amazing! Lots of power, tons of built in features, and effects, sounds Killer with a Marshall 4x12 Cabinet, for a sample of the head used to play metal in full band setting look up Girl Scout Hand Grenade on myspace.

The improvement I would ask for would be more control over shaping the sound and tone of the effects and maybe a tube preamp to give the tone a little more warmth.

This head is really loud for one....that being said if your're going to run two 4x12 cabs in stereo....then this is your baby. The clean tones on this amp will go for days with the right combo of onboard and outboard reverb/delay effects. I found through thorough testing that neither the onboard nor the effests loop were sufficient for producing uncolored tone. But....when I combined the onboard effects (slightly) with ourboard effects through the efx loop I was quite pleased with the results. This amp really cannot produce actual tube amp "feel" and "sag" and all that other stuff. I play through a Marshall JCM2000, a Mesa Dual Rec, and a vintage 68' Bassman on a regular basis. All I can say is if you're going to record...use tube amps and mic em' up !!! Use the emulation stuff as well for secondary trax. Live...all I can is....LINE6 has nailed it as far as being a guitar player on stage. If you have the time and money for expensive and unrelaible tube amps then go ahead...but if you have limited cash flow and a discerning ear, get this amp. It won't let you down if you use that channel volume knob just right.

THIS THING IS A BEAST!!!
Posted by xxibanezloverxx from cuyahoga falls, oh on Apr 15, 2008

Reviewer's Background: 13 year active musician.
Reviewer's Play Style: metal, hard rock, rock, and more metal.
I played this today at a local music store. All I can say is WOW. This thing screams. I couldnt turn it past 2 because it was ear splitingly loud. I have been playing guitar for 13 years and have went through amps like nobody else. Everything from a boutique bogner to a 15 watt crate to a $5000 marshall. this blows them all away. the versitility in this amp is amazing. I could go from playing blues riffs to metal licks and then do a little rockablily, and then shreding speed solos with the spin of a knob and twist of effects. (thats why it gets a 5 for features) I gave it a 4.5 in quality because lets face it.. line 6 isnt the best name out there and some of there stuff has defects. But they are on there way up. It seems that this is the only amp on this site that is at the right price... I would actually pay about $2500 for it, but thats just me. i hope this review helped you bye a beast of an amp!
