psanchez,

Perhaps you need to update the firmware.  The original was notorious for connectivity issues.

When you see the list of supported Android devices you realize the enormity of the challenge Line6 was presented to get this app out for Android!

 

There is only ONE Apple hardware to worry about; possibly two, if you consider iPhone vs iPad, but for all intents and purposes, those devices are nearly identical. Android, however... here's the list I see thus far; of course, as my luck has it, my brand new Android LG phone isn't on the list.... lol! :)

 

Samsung Galaxy S5

Samsung Galaxy S4

Samsung Galaxy S III

Samsung Galaxy Note Pro

Samsung Galaxy Note II

HTC One M8

HTC One M7

Motorola Moto X

Google Nexus 7

Amazon Kindle Fire HDX

ASUS MeMo Pad

ASUS Fonepad

ASUS PadFone

LG G2

LG Optimus

LG F7

LG Nexus 4

Well, it is much like writing for windows.  The OS creates the uniform environment with which to write.

While not an unusual way to change or enhance the tone on a tube amp, is swapping the 12" Celestion speaker for an Eminence or Weber (perhaps a more efficient model) pausable?   I had read an Amazon review, with someone raving about such a move.

There are currently 25 banks of A,B,C, and D = 100 presets.

Only with the short board (or through the IOS device), correct?

It is not that difficult to develop cross platforms.  It has been done regularly between the three main platforms.  If there is an issue, often is has to do with licencing and exclusivity.   

I think that's what it comes down to, for the price it's a great deal.  Realistically if for $400 - $500 dollars you could viably replace $$$$$$ worth of equipment then what?  Nice thing too is that besides something that you can play music & backing tracks on when you're using your "real" equipment it's a a great practice amp so you don't have to put the wear/tear on your tube circuitry.  You can use it simultaneously while playing the guitar & having a background track on.  The remote app regardless of anything gives you a ton of options and it's easy to use.  It's easy to move around.  Take it somewhere you don't have to worry about it as much.  $500 is a steal for the 150, especially if you're a hobbyist. 

Indeed, but like I said, having an IOS7 or 8 device becomes an additional cost, unless you already own one.  

The majority of tube amp players have a pedal board with numerous boxes.  I do not believe it is proper to compare them to channels.  In this day and age, it is odd to have computer memory limit to only 4 presets.   

Never mind... I found it!

I am new to the amplifi. Has there been any firmware updates for this box?

I bought a 150 very lighted use online, mint condition.

As a stereo buff and a guitar player, this sounds a bit weak for 150Watts.

On the guitar side, I need to remind myself that with a tube amp, every bit of the circuit is the instrument, where a modeling amp synthesizes the tone then amplifies that sound with absolute clean transistor fidelity. It won't be as loud or have the same response as its tube counterpart.
Having the control of the good stuff on this amp hinged upon iOS, is actually a hidden expense for those who do not have such a device. Cumbersome, it is not the most clean app, though it is better than having to delve through hidden menus one a screenless interface.

On the the stereo side, it works well. Hook up is simply and pleasant sounding until one tries to play it loud. Again, I thought 150 watts would produce more sound pressure.

For the price, I would not buy this as a guitar amp as I do not need so many effects(many of which are kind of useless, in my opinion), it has that sterile digital response and it is not particularly loud. One would do better with a 15watt tube amp and move their pedal boards from their main rig to the practice amp. As for a blue tooth remote speaker system, it is not as loud as I though it should be. That said, it sounds better than many of the comparably priced systems. This is why this thing works..... It is perfect for a bed or dorm room and can be dragged out for background music outdoors. Add to that, is a serviceable practice amp.

I am on the fence on keeping it, but might recommend it to someone who needs such a niche product.

Namaste,
David
