It offers incredible sonic flexibility with a modeled vintage studio compressor and critical bass-specific effects. All of that tone is fed into an oversized, high-speed power amp that delivers a truckload of headroom for fantastic articulation and low-end punch through the 12" woofer. 4 programmable channel memories (36 with an optional FBV Shortboard—see accessory box on this page) let you set up your LowDown for the sounds you want. You also get a headphone jack, line in, and a studio-quality XLR direct out with POD-based cab modeling for incredible direct-inject tone. The amp conveniently tilts back for use as a stage monitor. Line 6 LowDown LD150 Combo Bass Amp Features: 150W power 1 - 12" Tilt-back monitor design 6 bass amp models: Clean, R&B, Rock, Brit, Grind, and Synth Vintage studio compressor model Bass-specific octave, envelope filter, and chorus effects Oversized, high-speed power amp 4 programmable channel memories (36 with a FBV Shortboard) Headphone jack Line in Studio-quality XLR direct out with POD-based cab modeling Author profdannyspit Registered User Registered: June 2008 Location: Inglewood Posts: 30 Review Date: Mon June 23, 2008 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $180.00 | Rating: 8    Pros: Great Bang for the buck Cons: Price is 2 cheap to complain about minor things I got this amp just to have something in my room to play with instead of using my stack which would shake the whole house. I started playing with this thing and it would also rattle the house. It sounds pretty cool and I now use it primarily for recording rough drafts at home. It is versatile with its sounds and the effects sound decent with the exception of the octaver. I really like the Brit setting on it which is supposed to emulate a late 60s marshall with overdrive. The ROCK setting does pretty good at emulating an ampeg head with a 8x10 cab. I would not use it for live but it is really handy to have at home to play with headphones or using it for recording through the XLR output. ------------------------------ www.myspace.com/candyinglewood profdannyspit Registered User Registered: June 2008 Location: Inglewood Posts: 30 Review Date: Mon June 23, 2008 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 0    Pros: Cons: Better idea of the AMP taken from the Line 6 website: LowDown™ LD150 delivers five carefully crafted amp models that can take you from vintage punch to modern grind. You also get a critical set of effects that no bass player should be without. Once you create your own custom sound, you can save it into a preset using the channel memories on the front panel and instantly recall it anytime. FEATURES: 5 Incredible Bass Amp Models: Clean, R&B, Rock, Brit, and Grind 5 Essential Bass Effects: Synth, Compressor, Envelope Filter, Octaver, and Chorus Deep Switch With Special Tone Shaping for Supreme Fatness XLR Direct Out with Line 6 exclusive A.I.R.™ processing 4 Programmable Channel Memories, 36 with FBV Shortboard™ Headphone Out Jam Along CD/MP3 1/8” Input Built-in Chromatic Tuner Footswitch Jack for FBV Express™ or FBV Shortboard™ 12” Speaker 150 Watts Convenient Tilt-Back Monitor Design Dimensions: 48lbs, 16"L x 17.5"W x 21.5"H AMP MODELS: Clean Inspired by* the Eden Traveler, this model is all about clean, funk and fusion bass tone. It’ll give you all the warm lows and punchy highs you need R&B Inspired by* a 1968 B-15 Flip Top, this model is a tribute to those late 60’s and early 70’s clean fat bass tones. It is the kind of tone you hear on most Motown recordings, as played by a pioneering young James Jamerson. Rock This model is inspired by* the ’74 Ampeg® SVT®. This workhorse has appeared on innumerable recordings and arena stages worldwide. And now all the tone of the 300-pound behemoth 8X10 and head is available in your combo! Brit Based on a ’68 Marshall® Super Bass, this model delivers the kind of overdriven bass sound brought to us by late ‘60’s British rock pioneers like Cream and The Who. Grind As the name would suggest, this is for modern rock lovers, Alice in Chains to Mudvayne and Rage Against The Machine. Based on* a distorted SansAmp PSA-1 into an SVT® in addition to a direct clean bass signal mixed in, this model gives you that angry, clear and punchy aggression that takes your sound to DEFCON 1. But that’s not all… Synth Sitting at the back of the model knob is this secret weapon that turns LowDown into a ’70s classic bass synth. From funk to modern rock, this synth model delivers incredible tones and tracks every dynamic move you make with ease! EFFECTS MODELS: Envelope filter Based on* a Q-Tron, this is the baddest envelope filter on the planet. This effect can be heard on tons of major funk and rock tunes. Octaver Based on* the EBS® OctaBass®, this effect produces a single note one octave below the pitch of the played note, adding a powerful new vibe to your sound. Chorus Based on* the much loved T.C. Electronic® Chorus. This is the most transparent, smooth and expressive chorus for bass ever built. Using it does not reduce your low end and it’s especially beautiful on fretless bass. Amazing Tone On Stage and In The Studio! The XLR Direct Output was designed for recording or sending your sound to a house sound system when you’re playing live. This output utilizes our exclusive A.I.R. processing which has made Line 6 products like POD® the undisputed standard for direct recording. Whether you’re playing a gig in a club or rushing off to a recording session, this POD based direct out will give you huge, mic’d amp tone everywhere you go! ------------------------------ www.myspace.com/candyinglewood Powered by: ReviewPost PHP vB3 Enhanced Copyright 2006 All Enthusiast, Inc.
