  1. I can get it to sound good.  Not great.  I mostly use external Distortion to get what I am looking for.

     

    Jak_e_lee problem is for people like me I want a clean, and a heavy on the same channel.  Give me more space to tones etc.  so using a red metal setting isn't going to work all the time.  

  2. I run a couple of rigs depending on size of where we are playing.

     

    Mid/large gigs I run my HD150 with all the built in effects.

    Smaller gigs I run my Behringer 2x 12 amp with my Digitech GNX4.

     

    One things nice about the non built in effects like the digitech is I don't need a amp I can run it directly into the soundboards.  Most setups for small I run the pedal into the board for a Mains, and use the amp as my personal monitor.  Works great. 

     

    What worries me is if my HD150 goes out I am screwed..  So I have been bring the backup just in case. 

     

     

    Just wanted to add in a small area you would never be able to crank the 150 up.  It really is over killer but hey I am a man over kill is in my DNA..

     

    Do what you think is best for you.  

     

    I have been looking at a Pod, and a 6505 + head and some pedals.  Love these toys.

  3. So I was practicing with the half stack on Monday with the band.  We where about 3 hours in running stage volume.  So maybe 25/30% and all of a sudden nothing.  No sounds.  Check everything nothing more.  Check my external pedals nothing.  reboot the amp and starts up like nothing happened.

     

    Started to get a little worried since I don't want this to happen on stage.  Has anyone had this issue before.  Volume etc never moved, and when I did move it nothing happened.

     

    Touched the the back and it was warm but not hot where I had to pull my hand off it.  

     

     

    Thinking of backing up all my tones and doing a reset.  Never had this happen before.

  4. Ok I have all me settings setup to be about the same volume for the most part.

     

    I have the volume setup to give me 100% so I have full control.

     

    I move the master Volume to maybe 25% at shows we get it set to what is a good mix and go from there.

     

    I turn the amp off between sets.

     

    Come back for set 2 turn amp on, Master Volume is the same but the amp is 15% louders?

     

     

    Other issue I am seeing is you move the volume a hair and it is loud as hell!!! more it a hair down and you can't hear it.

     

    get to about 50% and the volume sounds the same

     

    get to 100% and you can't tell it is much different than 50%

     

    Why is this.

     

    You would think the volume would have a equal sweep all the way up to 100% but that 100% is not the case.

     

     

    I have been thinking of limiting the volume to say 30% and see what it does.

     

    Anyone have this issue.

     

     

  5. Your not playing on a Line6 CAB.  When you plug in the head phones are you still plugged into the CAB?

     

    I think you can use head phones with out being plugged into the CAB.  The CAB has to be the correct OHM or you will fry the amp just a FYI.

     

    I couldn't really listen to it loud since I am at work I will take another look at the video when I get home.

     

    Do a reset and then update it.  Will not void the warranty it is a software update from the Company.   Really simple and you get a ton more FX.

  6. What kind of pickups.Active?  new Battery?

     

    try a new Guitar Cable?

     

    Anything near the amp head?  Phone, wireless device that could cause a issue.  remember this is a solid state I have had my phone site on the head and cause strange sounds.

     

    Also what Channel some of them you will always get some noise since they are distorting it to make it heavy.  Is this happening on a clean channel?

     

    Also what Cab are you using?  Correct OHM?  stock cables from head to CAB?

     

    Also are the FX on or off.

  7. Best tip I have here is though you need to practice at the volume you are going to play live with.  Which for my band is about 25% volume on this head in the bars..  I before I learned that I had tones that sounded killer at 50% volume but once backed down I was like what the #$(_#$#$

     

    This sounds like poo.

     

    Also I do notice I am backing off some of lows with my Gibson but adding lows with my Ibanez.  Which I come to expect.

     

    I have stopped using my GNX4 though and for the most part using the amp, and a Metal Zone pedal. 

     

    Taking some getting use to but liking it.  Getting a true Studder FX is next.

     

    One thing I miss from my GNX is the YA YAA wah.  It was cool to use on some songs.

  8. That is fine but I see a 412 VS-B Padded Cover, and a 412 VS-T  and then a non padded 412

    What is the difference.  There really is no help in what the difference is.  Would be nice if they have a little write up on there site to help someone pick what they want.

     

    As for the head all I can find is one for the HD100 which is smaller than the HD150.

     

    Am I blind?

  9. I have the shortboard.  Have not had the issue sense but I have been a lot more Causes with it.

     

    Yeah the line6 EV-1 got bad reviews not going there.  I know music friend has a good one from what I have been reading for around 100.
