I am definitely curious about your first impressions. Please let us know, thanks...

It says class D in the specs so it should not be very heavy. It says light weight so It should be between 20-25lbs However, as far as I can tell, it needs a slave amp to be stereo.

I wonder if I can play a trio jazz gig with the 75 watts version. Drummers behave in jazz usually since there is an acoustic bass player but when there is a sax involved it won@t be enough in a quartet situation :(

I don't get why this amplify should be this heavy. Why not use a class d power amp. Same combo could have been around 20 lbs...

If I could stream audio from my iPad thru Bluetooth what stops me from opening a channel from GarageBand and use the modeled amps from there since I like the clean versions of fenders and voxes better from GarageBand. :)Wow thanks

OK. I have not thought of that. It has a stereo in? What kind of adaptor would I need? The specs are not complete then. It says 1/8" in for iPod and other stuff. Are you suggesting that I could get a Y cable with 1 trs 1/8" jack on 1 side and 2 x 1/4" jack for line out from hd500x? I guess that could work but it I could not jam with recordings then which is not that important for me. They say nothing about weight in the specs though. Thanks a lot

Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing. I have heard someone play thru this with his hd500x http://www.roland.com/products/en/AC-60/ I thought it sounded wonderful. It has no tweeters but it sounds great. It's just that if Line6 made one with the right connections, then it would be great.

True but I like 12" speakers. I had a princeton and I had put in a 12" speaker in it and It became 40 lbs. I want to stay around 20lbs or less. Acoustic Image makes those kinds of amps why not Line 6 with the right inputs and speakers? All they need is a Class D power Amp section.

What if you could get a good sound out of a light-weight amp? :) That is what I am after...

I am 47 years old and I have owned many different tube amps including the heaviest twin reverbs and marshals in the past. I have owned a POD X3, Pod HD 300 and most recently I have picked up and HD 500x. I have many reasons to use an amp modeller but one of the is the most important reason. WEIGHT!!!!! Modelers are easier for me because I do not want to cary an amp. Very few jazz musicians can afford a roady. This guy makes light weight cabs http://www.flitecabs.com/guitar/ But they are not powered. He makes them from graphite I think. But amps with digital power supplies should only add a few pounds to the WEIGHT. If Line6 could make an FRFR amp that has L6-link connection, and that weighs around 20-22 pounds, I would buy it in a heart beat. I think a lot of people would do the same if we could see a graphite made Amplifi that has 200Watts power and that weighs around 20 lbs. I do not see the point in carrying a 45lbs amp if I am using a modeler. So, DTs do not make sense to me. I can always carry my HD500x w/o an amp and use the P.A which is what I do mostly but a light-weight powered amp would be perfect for a small venue. And Line 6 why not spend a little more time on your clean tones. Apple Logic's clean tones ( both fenders and Voxs ( are much better sounding ) Not all your customers use heavily driven sounds. I use mostly clean tones except occasionally some light overdrive tones.
