Hi, I bought an Amplifi 150 for the same reason, I have retired from gigging and I love it! To play the music no wires, to connect all those effects, my shortboard and guitar just 2 wires it is so simple. The sounds are good as well as the effects etc, but remember the price, you get great value for money, but some people on here seem to be expecting boutique sounds at budget prices, sorry it doesn't happen, this is fantastic value for money and a great idea. Well done Line 6!!!!!!!!
