thx kinglerxt & silverhead - option 2 is what I was after! -H

So my 3.0 update went off without a hitch -but- I don't see the new artist presets. all the new Amp models are there, new stomps, etc, just no artist presets. Can these be downloaded as a setlist separately? Thanks! H

Does anyone else find it odd and slightly narcissistic that there are so many people who come to a line6 forum to express negative line6 opinions? I differentiate this from , say, hardware issues or software glitches. It's OK if you don't like it, I just don't want to read your 3 page rant on WHY you don't like it. I think its great that you found product X that fits your needs better than line6 product Y. I don't care. Why are you here, again? To convince me that I'm wrong? Or, maybe, to convince yourself you made the right choice? Let me help you with that: You win the tone lottery! Please go to the Kemper forum ( http://lmgtfy.com/?q=kemper+forums ) and bask in the glow of your discerning taste and superior choice! Let all there regale you with huzzahs. Perhaps you are compensated in some way for pushing other vendor's gear here? This would certainly explain your passion and verbose posts. Line6 mods - can you keep this sort of useless forum clutter to a minimum? I come here to learn about my gear - not read about other's inferiority complexes. Thanks, Paying customer.

Re vintage vs new: The same double blind tests have been made with stradivarius vs new builds; experts can't Id one consistently. But this misses the point entirely- the old wood/construction techniques/mojo/whatever is something you feel as you are playing the instrument in question. It interacts with you, it responds to your playing nuances, it rewards the years of practice and expert technique. This is hard (not impossible) to find in a new guitar. Will an audience ever be able tell sonically that you are playing your beloved 50's gibson? Would they even care? Aside frome the 4 gear heads at any show, the answer to both is no. But you will know. With that knowledge your confidence and skill will bring your playing to a place it may not have gone before. This is what owning a great piece of vintage gear is all about. One of the reasons I switched to L6 modelling when the XT came out was they got the feel right-no more amp tone chasing. I traded my 58 tweed deluxe for a 55 junior because in a live setting NO ONE can hear the difference, including me. And as we established earler, we - as guitarists - are really the only ones who really care about this musical minutia anyway. As zappa said :"shut up and play year guitar" Hep
