I have been looking for something to run my helix through that can do bass, guitar, piano, vocals, etc, and I think that I have found it. I own a Line 6 Lowdown 175 and I love it but I got to say that I love playing bass through the Firehawk 1500 because it sounds great! Just like a bass amp should. I just hope that Line 6 puts it's modelled bass Amps and other gear available for the Firehawk and/or Helix because I like options for tones and sounds. I kind of an effects lollipop and all. But I am very impressed with it for bass!
