  1. I'm having a similar experience right now, 07/07/2024. I was playing normally for a couple of hours and then went to grab something to eat. I turned it off, and when I returned, I turned it back on. My Iphone connected via bluetooth and then wifi. The app then flashed a message stating "Update required". It would not let me bypass it and I finally clicked the update button. The app has been in "Updating Mode for about 40 minutes now with no indication of progress. It also give the message "IMPORTANT" DO NOT UNPLUG THE AMPLIFI AMP OR SHUT DOWN YOUR MOBILE DEVICE WHILE THE UPDATE IN IN PROGRESS" Fortunately, I'm able to let it sit and spin all night until I have to go to work tomorrow. I sure as hell hope it hasn't turned into an even bigger disappointment than it's already been. I'll update this when it finally finishes, or when I turn it off and leave for work in the morning.
  2. Not happy at all. Extreme buyers remorse; should have followed my gut and not bought this thing. Except: when it's working right, I love it! I purchased the Amplifi 150 a little over a month ago and immediately realized that it was a huge pain in the butt without a foot controller. I spent another couple hundred for an FBV3. Had fun with it. The setup sounds great for my amateur, bedroom playing self. Bluetooth was buggy and annoying, but not that big of a deal. As a concept, it's great. If it works, it's actually not a bad value. BUT.... After about 2 months of very light occasional use, it just stopped working a couple of days ago. I turn the amp on, and it goes through its startup routine, and then turns off. Usually, after several quick on/off cycles, it will stay on. The sound it produces is horrible. It is only playing the wet part of the signal. If I go to the tone edit page on the iPhone and turn off all the effects, or do the same thing with the FBV3, effectively running it straight through an amp and cabinet, it does not produce any sound. I just started the remediation process with Sweetwater today, so we'll see where all of this ends up. UPDATE: 01/22/2022 After about a month in the shop, I got my amp back with the problem fixed. having lived with it now for a couple of years, I still feel underwhelmed by it. The sound quality was fixed by the repair shop so now, when everything is working together as it should, it sounds good. On the other hand, the software still chaps my lollipop. I still have to physically type in all my login info just about every time I want to use any of those features. The Bluetooth is still buggy, and rarely links up on its own. I’m tired of messing around with it and the lack of support or fixes by Line6 has left a bad taste in my mouth. I wish I’d bought something else, and I doubt I’ll ever purchase another Line 6 item.
