I'm sure Line 6 is working hard to get the right info available in not to long a time. They first had to make the product, that's what matters in the long run. And they did a hell of job here..

If they have time to brief the press and dealers then they have time to talk to their loyal customers. After all we're the people who hand over the hard earned cash. Not impressed - and it takes a fair amount to wind me up. This isn't what you would normally expect from a US company.

Actually I think they sound great, but keep in mind that the guitar used ins't a vintage guitar either ... I'm pretty sure there will be upgrades in the future with more amps, at least I hope so, would miss my JCM 120 models

Give Line 6 some time guys, maybe it's all about their strategy, to give bits of info (the so called leaks, which I think where intentional) and then release the product ... not that bad a move, because if you take a look on the net, a LOT of people already talk about it without it being released, so they publicity has worked pretty good.

Cheers,

Hans

Hans, this is not Line 6's finest hour. Line 6 are not communicating with their customers period - in fact when it comes to new products Line 6 have always been secretive. Even the control freaks at Microsoft give people a heads up of what's under development. And I'd like to know why there's only 16 amp models .. and answers to a host of other questions like why model a Park 75? I've owned loads of Line 6 gear and love the company's innovations – just wish they'd be more communicative.

The DT50 amp looks impressive .. but no modelling.

so what was http://www.line6.com/dt50 and http://www.line6.com/podhd if they weren't telling you about the products.  granted not much detail, butI@m sure they told you as much as they could

There are actually legal issues when a company releases a product.  dealers are actually bound by contract to not release info before the release date, and I think line 6 have to agree not to release the info too early either.  it's not line 6's fault that other companies leaked it wrongly, so really you should be bashing the leakers for this... or just accept that line 6 will release the info on the day they choose to release the info, and not before, and that you're lucky to have learnt what you did earlier.  also think about the fact that line 6 HQ are in the US, so it's often the case that L6 are late in the day to release info that other sites have earlier.

just because the info isn't there probably means they're more on the case shipping product and gearing up to get you what you want.  alternatively I'm sure if you contacted the marketting manager at Line 6, and tell them you'd prefer them to concentrate more on telling you the info, and deleying the products to the stores by a few more days, he may take that on board.  for me, having the product faster is surely the better option?

the DT50 does model amps, it's got a digital front end I think, but it's more geared to be simpler.  if you want al lthe models, get the POD to go with it.  if you just want a simple tube amp that has a few very versatile tones, just get the amp.

i never saw this!!
