I just picked this Amplifi 75 up at my local Long McQuade here in Canada. I took it home, plugged it in and was noodling' within minutes (after creating my line 6 account). I gotta say, I understand the 'hate' this thing gets from the real gigging guitar player, but there is a major demographic of people that this thing appeals to and I would consider myself at the top of this heap. Consider this: Been playing guitar since I was 15 (I am now 35). I have gone through the years of learning, playing in bands, dropping guitar for a while, coming back to it, playing in more bands - breaking up with those bands, getting married, having kids, etc. etc. Guitar has come and gone in my life a few times now and I am sort of getting this new wave of playing. I am settled and have a great family life; with that comes responsibility and jobs, blah blah blah - you know the drill. I have the Amplifi 75 in my office next to my computer desk with two guitars right in front. I can now easily pick one up, load up a tone replica and just GO! I am not after the holy grail of tone - for the 20-30 mins a day I might get playing, I want a solid and easy approximation of a fender clean, or a Dave Gilmour lead tone, etc. This amp gives me that really in an instant - I can even take those presets, do a quick modification and it sounds better for my room, guitars, etc. I would say this thing inspires me to play more than any recent gear that I have bought. I could go downstairs to where my drums/setup are and plug in all my pedalboards, amps, etc. and blow my family through the ceiling with my Marshall DSL but no one wants that. Every once in a while I do that, and its fun, but the amplifi gets me playing more often; practising more often and basically just having more fun day to day. *I do have a fender mustang IV and while the amp is nice, the lack of support of the software from Fender and the general poor UI of the preset management makes the Amplifi software on my iPad/iPhone look really really great in comparison* Thanks so much Line 6!

Just purchased an Amplifi 75 over this past weekend and its my first time diving into this system. To make a long story short - I totally dig the system and I am now looking at my options. This led me into the path of buying the new FBV MK3 floorboard to control my amp and patches....however.... that got me into thinking I could buy the Firehawk FX (which is everything the amplifi is, and the FBV3) but does NOT have the speaker. I am a Dad / busy / hobbyist guitarist and I like the idea of having the amplifi in my office to get me jamming out a few minutes each day. The Firehawk gets me more 'things' per se - the floor board control, the HD amp models, all the iOS control, etc. but just no speaker. I would be basically removing the live speaker element out of the equation and likely only ever playing with headphones. I paid $549 for the amplifi. The Firehawk FX is $599. If I purchase the FBV3 to go with my amplifi that is $549 + $349 = a hell of a lot more than the Firehawk current....again, with no speaker or sound. What would you do?

My Amplify 75 is dead. No lights ,no sound. There is a faint click when I turn it on and a faint boom when I turn it off. That is all. It happened as my son inserted the headphone plug in the back and then it just died... I have opened it up and peeked inside (without detaching any cables). I don't see anything strange (e.g. no burn marks as I can see). I was hoping to find a fuse but did not find any. Does anyone here know if there where the fuse are? (I guess there most be some kind of fuse in it). No warranty left, so I just can't send it in. Does anyone have any clue what could have happened? Is there something I can do to save it or is the only thing to do to find an authorized reapair shop? I wonder if anyone has experienced anyting like this and have any suggestion what it can be. Happy for all the help I can get. Thanks; Per

Hi there, I am new to Line 6 amplifi. I just installed last 2.50.2 flash release and updated remote to 2.60.1 release. I have tried to output backtrack or music from library music to the amp, but nothing happens, even when selecting Amplifi 75 as AirPlay device!? I certainly have missed something but I don't know what... Thanks in advance for you help.

Have Line 6 shot themselves in the foot? They dangle the carrot by sending us their latest newsletter, which has a review of the Amplifi 30 from Harmony Central, which categorically states that it's USB port is designed to be used for output to PC / MAC for recording! Does that mean that I should be able to plug my Amplifi 75 into my Win PC and start recording on my (Free bundled with another Line6 product) Cubase Lite? If not, why not? Alan.

Hello ALL, I recently found that AMPLIFi 30 and 75 are both 300 USD. So, how should I choose between them? What I've noticed is that AMPLIFi 30 has smaller dimention, and AMPLIFi 75 has louder sound. Is that all? What I want to know is, is AMPLIFi 75 sound better than 30? and can I turn AMPLIFi 75's volume low enough to suit bedroom usage? If so, I'd love to choose 75 cause dimension is not a big problem to me. I cannot find any comparasion with google and youtube. Neither can I try them in my local stores. So if any tried both of them, don't hesitate to share your expierence! Regards, ~Kurapica

I recently got an Amplifi 75 and I finally had time to register it today, but when I tried using the remote to play with sounds. When I opened the menu on the left side of the app, underneath AMPLIFI it says none. Why isn't my amp connecting to the app? I know it isn't the bluetooth because it works fine as a speaker.

Hello... Really at my wits end here. Been using my amplifi 75 for a year now and its been great. Just found out about the new firmware updates which enables amplifi devices to act as an usb interface. I'm on windows 10 64-bit so i had to install the line 6 driver 2 files. However, after downloading the files and launching ableton live 9, amplifi wasn't detected. I checked device manager and confirmed it was using the v1.76 drivers and did a factory reset after the update, still catch no ball... Anybody have any clue how to solve this?

Hi Everyone, I'm seriously considering to buy the Amplifi 75 and also the FBV Shortboard MKII. I've been reading the threads here and I must say I don't feel confident enough to buy them because I don't have a service center or anything nearby I can return them to. Once I buy them, they are with me for life. As I read, after the 2.x firmware update, Android can control the Amplifi as well. Could you tell me anything about this? Are there connectivity issues or anything else? How has been your experience so far? I have an Android phone (Xiaomi MI3), I'm hoping this will work with it but ideally I'd like to use my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with an Android emulator running on it to emulate a tablet. Or is there another way to control it from Windows (10)? Are there any major differences between the phone and tablet version of the app? Despite all the problems people are experiencing, are they worth to buy? Thank you in advance. Cheers!

Hi. Can anyone put in simple terms (for a non software developer) what do I do to make my remote app and Amplifi 75 work. I have the latest app, iOS9 on my iPad2. Everything works ok, but nothing will change the tone on the amp. So I am stuck with the 4 very average preset tones. HELP please. Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but as I said, I am not a software developer so need average-Joe friendly step by step instructions. Thanks for any advice, as I am pretty disappointed at the moment. John.

Hello, Device : AMPLIFI 75 OS : Windows 8.1 64 I installed AMPLIFI Utility 1.00. When I turn on the AMPLIFI 75, Windows tells : "USB Device Not Recognized". And AMPLIFI Utility tells : "No AMPLIFI Devices were detected." I checked on "Device Manager" and I see "Unknown USB device" so I choose "Update driver" and I select the one I download for you site. And Windows tells me "The driver is up to date" but it is still Unknown. Can you help me? Thank you. Best Regards.

My FBV express Mk2 when hooked up to my amplifi 75 used to change through ABCD on bank selected. Now it will always go back to bank 1 and does the ABCD Channels. It will not stay in the bank selected. Is this due to the new pedal board?? Not happy as when in Bank 20 for the blues channels volume works wha works but soon as change to ABCD it goes back to the bank 1 tried updating going back to defaults and still Bank 1 ABCD. This sucks as it was very helpful now seems like I have to use the iPad if not in bank 1. Please bring out an update or tell me how to fix the problem. As I own a spider 4 75 and a hd500. On a army pension and hate to have wasted money on my FBV express 2. Or are you pushing us to spend more money on your new 100 board. Not impressed, may as well go to fender tube with stomp boxes. Please help tried everything, used to just plug in the back and the Bank you where on was the one that you could change each channel.

Hi, I updated Amplifi 75 from 1.0 to 2.1 via the iOS application. After the update, I turned off the unit, and I hold down the volume and tone buttons while turning back on the unit. Everything seemed fine, the update was successful, but the tone button's light is not working anymore, it doesn't light, like before the update. Is it a bug in the firmware, or I did something wring? How can I fix this problem, should I run the update again? It is very annoying. I would appreciate any idea. Thx, Jozsef

OK, I guess 75W stands for all 5 speakers but does anybody knows data for 8" driver only ? I have Spider IV 75 and considering upgrade to Amplifi 75 (Live Gigs). thanks, Miša

After a coupla weeks of trying to get the FBV Express MKII to control the Bender (Whammy) effect on my Amplifi 75, Line 6 Support hit me back and confirmed the Bender effect currently isn't controllable by the FBV Express MKII expression pedal. Seems a bit odd...hopefully they'll add that functionality in a future iOS update. --RH << I have just tested this over here and confirmed with my Amplifi expert and currently the Bender is not controllable by the expression pedal. You can, however, assign the Bender to the FX knob on the amp. I'm sorry this functionality is not there, but I can't speak towards when and if it will be available at this time. You can create a feature request for this functionality at line6.ideascale.com. Again, sorry about this, but please feel free to voice any additional questions, comments or concerns. >>

Just bought an FBV Express MKII to use with my Amplifi 75. I'm not getting a very smooth sweep when using the foot pedal with the wah and Bender sounds (i.e. in the case of the wah, I'm getting more of an immediate bump in the wah rather than a smooth transition). Anyone have any thoughts? I've already calibrated the FBV Express MKII. Thanks, --R
