The RMA allows for the hardware to be tracked throughout our various systems until resolution. We are not responsible for units sent in without an RMA number.

You can use services such as FedEx, UPS or USPS to send in your gear. We suggest you use a method of shipping that is traceable in transit to ensure you have visibility of your package. Line 6 is NOT RESPONSIBLE for freight damage due to insufficient packaging. End users are 100% responsible for protecting their gear in transit. Who pays for the freight? Non-warranty: The purchaser/user assumes responsibility for freight to and from the factory. Warranty: The purchaser/user assumes responsibility for freight to the factory. Line 6 will cover the return freight. How do I get an estimate on the repair cost? Estimates cannot be given until we have the unit in hand.

See the contact information above to reach Customer Service, and always have your RMA number ready. How long will it take to complete the repair? Repair time varies based on a number of factors such as parts availability, your place in the repair queue, etc., but we strive to provide a maximum three-week turnaround (not including shipping time). If we determine that your unit needs to be replaced, the turnaround time is typically a bit shorter. How will I get my unit back? Line 6 uses UPS ground for U.S. return requests. The shipping time is 5-7 days (not including processing time). What if I don't live in the U.S.? Product warranty is only good in the country/region of purchase. So if you bought your unit in France, the warranty is only valid in France. If you bought your unit in a country other than the U.S. and wish to get the unit repaired in the U.S., you will have to pay for the repair at an authorized Line 6 Service Center. If you are looking to repair your unit in the country of purchase (non U.S.), please refer to our Distributor and/or Service Center Finder for assistance in your area.

A: Check the following: Make sure the tube is firmly seated in the tube socket Other tube situations: My tubes make a popping sound accompanied by intermittent light from tubes - the tube is failing and needs to be replaced.
