I sure they hope they add the ability to maximize the HD edit application. it is very annoying that the current app has such a small maximum window size. -Max

I am with Zaphod, I don't get any disconnected feeling playing through the L2m speaker with the HD500. Before I bought the L2m I was running my HD500 into the power amp of a Line6 Spider Valve then into a 2 X12 speaker cab. It sounded pretty good, but I think using the L2m sounds even better to me. -Max

I use the L2 as my amp on stage now. The POD is set for Studio/Direct and the L2 for reference/P.A. connected via the L6 Link. All you need to do to send your tone to the P.A. is to run a cable from the POD to a P.A. Channel. If your P.A. is not as flat as the L2 you will probably need to adjust the EQ controls on the mixer channel. -Max

Line 6 L2m Speaker. I have used my POD with a few guitar amps and it never sounded as good as it does with the L2m. -Max

I am really happy about the Vintage and Bass packs! Roland JC120 is the bomb! -Max

Intermittent cutting out of the signal could be the cable. You should be using AES/EBU type digital cables for the L6 Link. If you are using regular microphone cables I would expect this to happen at some point as your number of speakers or length of cable increases to point where the digital signal becomes too degraded to be reliable. -Max

Getting the JC120 is very good news! -Max

Just for balance, I have to report that I own three L2m speakers purchased from Guitar Center and none of them have had this issue so far. -Max

I love my Dream Rig with the L2T speaker. I can switch between acoustic and electric tones. I hope you are as happy with your rig as I am with mine. Be sure your HD500 is up to date on the firmware or you may end up having the problem of the POD switching top combo/stack every time it sees the L2 via the L6 link cable. -Max

I seem to be seeing a trend in the people that are unsatisfied with the HD500. It appears to me that often the players that play high gain or heavy metal music are the users that are most unsatisfied. I wonder if the HD500 is just better at more classic amp tones than high gain modern tones? -Max

I heard a rumor that they are replacing the Stagesource speaker line with a new updated line that will be compatible with the previous speakers. :-) -Max

Rick, I currently use a HD500 into a L2 speaker for my guitar rig and can verify that it can get much louder than my collection of tube amps and guitar speaker cabinets. The L2 has only one of those 10 inch speaker and it can kill most tube guitar amps as far as volume and projection goes. My wife's current rig is an 800 watt Mesa hybrid amp and an ampeg classic 4 X10 cabinet which is overkill in most cases. My question was why would bass be any different from guitar as far as using a FRFR powered speaker, with something like a sansamp bass preamp? Worth noting is line 6 has an endorser Abraham Laboriel that uses the L3 as bass amp http://line6.com/news/general/1465/ I also know that a small Markbass combo with one speaker fills the rooms we play real well ( the bass player in a friends band uses one of those and it amazing how loud it is). I am going to try a test sometime this weekend by putting her bass into a preamp and running through one of the L2 that I already have. This should tell if the tone is going to suffer by not using a speaker specifically designed for bass guitar. We can quickly and easily compare her current with the L2 (I expect the L3 to do even better). -Max

Rick, I am not sure I buy your number of speaker argument. In my real life experience an L2 speaker (my current amp rig with HD500) produces more sound volume than a 60 watt tube amp with a 4 X12 or 2 X12 speaker cabinet. If the number of speakers were such a large consideration I would think that that one 10 inch speaker would have no hope of ever keeping up with a 4 X 12 speaker cabinet. We are going to buy a couple of L3 speaker for our P.A. mains anyway, so I will probably have her test one of them out at a band rehearsal. -Max

My wife's current system is a Mesa hybrid head and Ampeg classic SVT 410HLF cabinet with road case. We can run bass in the P.A. if the room is big enough to warrant it. We mostly play smaller bars and private events. -Max

I really want to know if Abe plugs his bass directly into the mixer input of the L3t or if he uses some sort of preamp. My wife is really contemplating this type of system to reduce the weight and size of her bass rig. We play 60s and 70s rock music in local bars and private events. -Max

My wife is looking for a good electric bass solution using a Stagesource L3 speaker. Is there a Line 6 product to use a preamp for her or should I be looking at a sansamp bass preamp, or just an L3t and use the built in mixer? -Max

I have never used it. However I use my HD500 for guitar in a "Dream Rig" in live performance. I use a P.A. for vocals and have not used the HD500 for recording. -Max

My wife plays bass in my band so justifying gear purchases is much easier for me. -Max

sinistralx, I hope you are as happy with your Stagesource speaker as I am with mine. I was so happy with the L2m in my "Dream Rig" that I have since bought two more to use as stage monitors to replace my old passive monitors. -Max

I have three L2m speakers and so far, sot a single case of the dreaded fan rattle. -Max

As far as the dreaded rattle, I am pretty sure it isn't super common. Keep in mind that you will only see users with usisues here and not the thousands of users who never have problems. I now have three L2m speakers and none of them have the rattle problem. -Max

I believe I found the answer to my problem. I was just reading release notes on the various firmware versions and found that version 2.20 fixes the problem with the L2 setting the POD to combo/Stack. Time to update my HD500! -Max

Just got the call that my L2m is waiting for me at guitar center. This will be my third L2m speaker. I use one for my Dream Rig and the other two are for stage monitors. Just waiting for the right deal to get a L3s and couple L3ms to round out our little bar P.A. system. After using one for my guitar rig for few months, I was so impressed I decided to upgrade the entire P.A. system. -Max

I don't see or hear what you describe with my JTV. I play in a 60s and 70s cover band and the other guitarist is playing with vintage a Fender tube amp and Germino plexi clone and nice fender and PRS guitars. He is actually jealous of the Fender Twin and Strat on the bridge pickup tone that I am getting with JTV, POD, L2m system. The guy is tube and vintage gear purist and he admits that my system sounds amazing. -Max

I use a regular tripod speaker stand set up so that my L2m is about the height of my head. I have never heard myself so well, I guess I really don't have ears in my knees where most guitar amps direct the sound. -Max
