schundog Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 No haters allowed, haha. I know most of us prefer tube amps, and many even snub their noses at PCB tube amps, (let's not open THAT can of worms again) but this is an interesting concept to say the least. My hat is off to LIne 6 for continuing to evolve with the available technology. I have wanted to get a Bluetooth speaker to play music off of my phone or ipad around the house/pool, but haven't been terribly impressed with what you get for the money with some of the smaller BeatBox speakers. I'd be interested to see how this looks/sounds as a Bluetooth Speaker and a guitar amp. The connectivity with an IOS App on an Apple device to be able to WIRELESSLY save your settings, stream your tracks to play along with, try other's settings, makes some of the features that Line 6 has had for some time all that much more attractive. I'm not saying I'm necessarily going to jump right in, but I'll be interested in taking a look at it once it hits the stores. Check out the video from NAMM, and there is a marketing video if you look at the amp on Musician's Friend. Obviously, their target market isn't geezers like me, but I'm still going to check it out! http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pages/line-6-amplifi?src=3TP4AOA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiner Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Everything is better with bluetooth. I'm interested in what you find. Please do keep us abreast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpuma Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 sounds very interesting. Too bad that the app is only for iOS otherwise I would totally give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Think it'd be great for home use. I wouldn't mind trying one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koula901 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Can one just play straight in, without using any of those functions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridethatbike Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I've heard that Bluetooth doesn't have the highest quality bit rate for streaming, I wonder if that imposes any limitations on this setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0aj15 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I've heard that Bluetooth doesn't have the highest quality bit rate for streaming, I wonder if that imposes any limitations on this setup? It's a Line 6 amp so it inherently has limitations, primarily good tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
