User Reviews:
Feature:
Yes it has a lot so even with a bad guitar or with an unsuitable guitar you will find out the sound that matches your personal expectations

Quality:
Nice

Value:
Good value for the amp. It sounds much better than a more expensive guitar effect tool.

Desirability:
Yes I do

Sound:
The sound is ok but it depends of the guitar. I used to have a low sustain guitar and it was really good. Now with the Epiphone it’s a true hell. The sound is very narrow and thin in the high distortion.

Ease of Use:
I think it’s ok

Support:
Never needed it

Overall:
A must have for a studio. I found out abt this product once I saw it using it in an expensive studio.

Tech21 SansAmp Character Series Liverpool Amp PedalThat distinctive diamond grille tone is yours for the tweaking. From the jangle of mop-top pop to the top-boosted growl of mod rock, this amp style has a voice that shook generations. Tuned to deliver the growl of English Alnico Bulldog-style speakers, this pedal also gets thick with rich, even harmonics as the Character control is pushed harder. Push it to the limit and it will, it will, rock you.

Feature:
full equivalizer, very sensitive and a lot of flexibility

Quality:
Made in USA the box is light (which is a plus for me), and works perfectly very reliable on the outside, and inside I hope too.

Value:
Get it if you want vox (without having a real amp) in your home or other recordings

Desirability:
Would buy it again no doubt

Sound:
This is the BEST VOX-type pedal I have found so far for direct recording! I just plugged it direct into my portable zoom studio recorder – and got the sound I wanted! No-brainer! Period! Smooth, ringing, no harshness, can be dangly or brianmayish if neccesary, from pure clean to full overdrive-distortion. I am very much impressed! Better than GT2 or Triace… Not for metal though I guess Give it 9 in terms of sound, by the way it is an analog stomp

Ease of Use:
Easy

Overall:
I am impressed. So glad that I got it. This thing is for direct recording, mind you.

Tech21 SansAmp Character Series Blonde Amp PedalDoes a two-faced blonde sound like trouble? We hope so, when those faces are silver and black and this Blonde rocks pure American tone to the stratosphere. Sparkly, spanky cleans that overdrive with a satisfying low-end rumble become the punchy bark of hard-pushed tweed, maxing out in a fat sizzle of lead boosted tone. Take the reins and don

Boss FBM-1 Fender Bassman PedalFender amps of the ’50s and ’60s are beloved and coveted by guitarists around the world. Thanks to BOSS’ technology and tone know-how, the new FBM-1 brings the natural, fat, rich, bright tone of the Fender Bassman to a BOSS pedal. In conjunction with Fender, the new BOSS FBM-1 recreates the legendary tone of the 1959 Fender Bassman. Features include the same controls on the original Bassman: Presence, Treble, Mid, and Bass EQ controls. The FBM-1 also functions perfectly as a “pre-gain pedal” placed before an already overdriven amp to add the tone character of the Bassman.

Feature:
You can control gain, boost, Highs,mids, lows with this

Quality:
Its a nice boss pedal. All metal with a cool finish to it

Value:
A little high priced but its worth it

Desirability:
Isnt it the sexiest little pedal?

Ease of Use:
You gotta learn to get a great sound

Support:
Havent had to deal with them

Overall:
This is a great pedal overall. Use it to character your amp, not drive it. The overdrive to me sounds a bit muddy. I own a a 59′ Bassman Reissue and a Epiphone Valve Jr. For some small club gigs, I use the bassman. When i do bigger shows, i actually use the Valve JR. the FBM-1 is great because it allows me to character my Valve Jr. to sound very similar to my bassman. Then i use a boss Blues Driver to actually drive in my leads. here is my pedal set up FBM-1–>BD2–>Danelectro Reel Echo–>PT-13 tuner The FBM-1 will definitely get you close to the sound of a real Bassman, you just need to learn to EQ it and you will be fine.

User Reviews:
Feature:
Too many features, but mostly all have this digitized piezo tone. There are pieces of the sound picture that are missing.

Quality:
It’s well made, but my idea of quality is SOUND QUALITY. It is not as good of a tone as a nice basic amp with a few pedals.

Value:
If it was $199, it would be worth it. But what is the value in something I stopped using after a few months.

Sound:
The clean sounds are OK. For the most part, you get a tone that sounds like a Piezo pickup being processed with effects like distortion. It is a nasty harsh sound that is brittle. It can fool children, but not musicians. I think this thing is made for the Line 6 Variax guitars, which have piezo pickups. Not so good for magnetic pickups. It’s alot of fun, but I mic’ed up my cheap 15 watt crate amp with a shure sm57, and recorded both, and the crate 15 watt sounded better for clean and distortion.

Ease of Use:
Without the software, it is very difficult to navigate. The Line 6 software is great, though, and makes it easy to create tones.

Support:
Actually great. There are software updates that come out and are easy to upload.

Overall:
I agree with another reviewer. It’s for kids in bedrooms that want to play late at night without waking up mom and dad.
