Using Lowdown 400 head with LD300

support@line6.com — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 23:41:31 GMT

So I'm having an issue with the direct out on my LD 300 combo, but otherwise the amp works perfectly. I need the direct out to feed our PA. I could use a direct box, but then I would loose my "tone.". I was thinking of getting the Lowdown 400 head and running that into the 300. Obviously the easiest way to do it is to use the 400 as a pre-amp. If I do this, what is the best flat setting for the 300?

Another option is to bypass the 300 amp entirely and rune it directly to the speaker, since it is an 8 ohm speaker, this should work. I will, however, need to do some rewiring to make this work. Is this a good/bad idea?

I'm open to any suggestions. I love line 6 and want to make this work. Thanks.

I can't see why this would cause any problems for the amp, but I'm not sure you'll like the sound of the keyboard coming through the amp.

Help, Distortion on LD 300 Pro XLR Direct Out!

support@line6.com — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:02:17 GMT

I have a LowDown 300 that has worked flawlessly up until a couple of weeks ago. When I send the direct out to our PA mixer the signal is distorting/clipping. I have to turn the gain on the mixer board down and keep the fader low or I get the distortion. This is a new issue and I, for the life of me, can;t figure out why the direct out would do this. The amplifier sounds fine and I've swapped out the cable. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem coudl be? Thanks.

Headphone/Direct Out not Working on Spider IV HD150

support@line6.com — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:32:00 GMT

The headphone, direct out, on my Spider IV 150HD is not working. It won't send out a signal. When I change from tuner to live mode, I do briefly hear the last note played with a dew short repeats before going silent. Unless I'm completely missing something, I should just be able to plug in headphones and it will work. My amo is under warranty, but if I'm missing something or if there is an easy fix I'd like to know. Any suggestions?
