I use a Spirit 4 channel mixer to run my iPad and a mic into the aux in on the Amplifi 150. It works very well and also allows me to add even more inputs if needed.

Well gipser, we will certainly miss your complaints. I know that everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and you have defiantly made yours well known. Good luck and happy trails.

Thanks for that !! From I've seen on Idae Scale it seems most of us want the same things. For now though, I'm just gonna keep rockin.

I was on the idea scale site earlier today and voted for just about everything I saw !! LOL Seriously though, I think a lot of this stuff will eventually get implemented, it just may take a while for it to happen. In the meantime I'm going to make the best out a really nice sounding amp/sound system. I've really been enjoying just listening to my music library through it. It sounds really good to my old ears !

In a full gig of 3 to 4 hours it might be a bit boring for me and the audience to only have the 4 tones available. The whole reason for getting this amp was for being able to carry everything in in one trip, plug in and go. I haven't tried any pedals in front of the amp yet but I plan on using a wah pedal and maybe a phaser or chorus. It would be nice to have more than the 4 tones but that has been covered elsewhere. I'm still experimenting with the setup as my gig doesn't start until the end of May. Hopefully by then Line 6 will have some sort of update to either the FW or the app that will allow more consistent and reliable control. Here's hoping anyway !

What do the Line 6 gurus say about breaking in the speakers ? I would like to know the official take on that. I've had mine almost a week now and I've cranked it up since day one. So far I've not experienced any negative sounds. Now by saying "cranked it up", I mean to a level of about 50% or so. The 150 gets really loud at that level and I can't think of any situation where I would need to go too far above that level.

I haven't tried that yet. Can you still use the app to change tones and adjust volume??

We don't want to get TOO high, now do we ?? LOL

After reading the thread in that link I can defiantly verify that changing apps is a PITA !! I like to use Pro Band and have purchased most of the backing track packs for it. If I start a track playing and then go to change or adjust the tone settings in Amplifi it drops the connection and the music stops, then it reconnects and plays on and I can then fiddle with the settings. A real show stopper if you plan on using it live for soloing over the backing tracks in a "Guitar Bar" kind of gig. That's why I got the Amplifi 150 in the first place. The work around is to run the output of the iPad into a computer audio interface, record the track into a DAW, bounce the wav file out as a MP3, then copy the MP3 back to the iDevice in its own folder. Then open that folder in the Amplifis music library and jam on. Works great but it is VERY time consuming. Oh, maybe a fix is in the works???

Yep, update worked like a charm after a shutdown and restart of the iPad 4 !!!! Looks like this is the procedure to follow. If you are reading this Line6, you might include this tip in the full blown manual that I'm sure you're busily writing. Lol

This also fixed my issue as well. I even talked to a line 6 tech on Friday and he told me that it was normal to show the version 1.00 !! WTF!!! Anyway, mine is updating as I type this so maybe all will be good after it completes. Now if we can get more presets and a proper manual....

Bump Any news on the manual yet?

So far so good with mine. I've had it since this past Thursday and it works well provided you follow certain "rules". By that I mean don't change apps on the iDevice, keep the iDevice relatively close, etc..... Planning on using mine for a solo gig coming up next month. We will see......

+1

I am curious if the unused USB port has power on it to run a hub with which to power the iPad from? Any ideas on this? As this amp is so intrinsically tied to an iDevice this seems to me, IMHO, to be a no brainier. What say you Amplifi users??
