What is the Metallurgy Collection? The MetallurgyTM Collection of amplifier and effects plugins was created specifically for guitarists who wish to quickly and easily access contemporary versions of classic and modern metal tones—as well as craft original tones of their own. The Collection bundles the Modern, Thrash, and Doom plugins, which are also available individually. The Metallurgy Collection plugins feature amplifier and effects models drawn from the award-winning HX® family of products. How many amp models per plugin? Each Metallurgy plugin features four amplifier models carefully chosen to deliver a full range of genre-specific tones. What kind of effects are included? Pre-amplifier Effects Each Metallurgy plugin features 3 (or more) mono. style-specific effects, as well as a polyphonic capo, that can be used before the amp in the signal chain. Post-amplifier Effects Each Metallurgy plugin features two stereo, style-specific effects that may be used after the amp in the signal chain. What about Cabinets, Microphones, and IRs? Each Metallurgy plugin features a choice of eight speaker cabinets and eight microphones, all based on IRs. Two mics may be selected and combined with a stereo room mic array, and up to two third-party Impulse Responses (IRs) may be substituted for the factory mics. Once you’ve logged in and authorized your Metallurgy software, IRs purchased from the Line 6 Marketplace on the same account will be made available in Metallurgy. Can I automate parameters in the Metallurgy Collection? Yes. Nearly every parameter in the Metallurgy Collection can be automated. Does the Metallurgy Collection support MIDI parameter control? Yes, nearly every parameter in the Metallurgy Collection can be controlled via MIDI CC. Is amp switching and amp bypassing via MIDI Learn or automation available? Switching channels via midi/automation is not available because the plugin would have to load the DSP of the alternate channel – which is essentially another model being loaded. Changing amp models in general is not supported via midi and automation. You can bypass an amp model and its DSP by disabling (bypassing) the amp view in the top toolbar. That also is not supported via midi learn or automation. There are other ways to bypass/mute that are midi/automation supported within the cab view’s mixer. Is the UI resizable? Not at launch. We’re working on it. Does the Metallurgy Collection support Retina displays (2x resolution)? Yes. The Metallurgy Collection includes Retina support. Is there Undo/Redo functionality? Yes, Undo/Redo is included at launch, along with A/B Compare. Does the Metallurgy Collection have a built-in tuner? Yes, it does include a chromatic tuner. Will there be a standalone version? Yes, each plugin includes standalone functionality. Are there any artist presets? Not at launch.

Solo Artist L3t can provide portable amplification for singer-songwriters, complete with EQ, reverb and modulation for each channel. Connect your acoustic guitar to the side panel Channel 1, which features Acoustic Modeling. Connect your microphone to the side panel Channel 2. Connect a portable media player, CD player, or DJ mixer to the rear panel Aux L/R inputs for backing accompaniment or intermission music. Small Club Duet L6 LINK provides an easy way for two artists - each with an L3t- to blend their signals together without the need for an external mixer. Connect the guitars to each speaker’s Channel 1, which features Acoustic Modeling. Connect the microphones to Channel 2. When two L3t speakers are connected together as an L6 LINK loop, (L6 LINK In of each speaker connected to the L6 LINK Out of the other), this stereo system can take advantage of both side mixer panels combined. All of the left and mono signals from both speakers’ inputs will play from the speaker labeled ‘L’, and all of the right and mono signals will play from the speaker labeled ‘r’. In this configuration example, two guitars and two microphones, and even two MP3 players could be used simultaneously. Small PA with Subs When using a traditional mixer with one or more L3s subs and non-Line 6 full-range speakers, connect to the subs’ inputs first. Connect the same channel’s output from each sub to the rear panel line input of each full-range speaker. Small PA with Subs When using a traditional mixer with one or more L3t/L3m towers and one or more L3s subs connected via L6 LINK, connect both the Main Left and Main Right outputs of the mixer to one L3s’s Left and Right inputs. Connect the L3s’s L6 LINK Out/Thru to an L3t or L3m you wish to designate as left. Continue daisy-chaining speakers via L6 LINK. L3 subs and towers will automatically configure themselves as left, right, or mono (left + right), according to the table available at the link below: In the illustration above, the first sub and first tower are designated left. As there are only two subs and two towers, the other L3t/L3m and L3s are automatically designated right. The floor monitor is connected via traditional means from the mixer’s monitor output. Large PA with Subs When using a traditional mixer with one or more L3t/L3m towers and one or more L3s subs connected via L6 LINK, connect both the Main Left and Main Right outputs of the mixer to one L3s’s Left and Right inputs. Continue daisy-chaining speakers via L6 LINK. Any L3 subs and towers will automatically configure themselves as left, right, or mono (left + right), according to the table available at the link below: In the illustration above, the three floor monitors exist on a separate L6 LINK network, and as they’re turned on their sides, will automatically sum the left and right channels of any signals received (‘b’ for both). StageScape M20d - Small PA Connect the L6 LINK out from a StageScape M20d mixer to the rear panel L6 LINK In on any speaker in the network. Any L3t/L3m towers and L3s subs on an L6 LINK network are numbered independently. In the illustration above, the two L3s subs (labeled SUB 1 and 2) will, by default, play left and right, respectively. The two upright L3t/L3m towers (numbered 1 and 3) will, by default, play left and right, respectively. L3t/L3m number 2, because it’s laid on its side, will automatically play discrete monitor feed A. Any speaker on the network can have its channel assignment changed from the M20d’s touch screen interface. StageScape M20d - Large PA In the illustration above, four L3s subs (labeled SUB 1-4) and seven L3t/L3m speakers (independently numbered 1-7) are daisy-chained from an M20d mixer. The subs and upright towers automatically configure themselves to be a powerful stereo mains system. L3t/L3m speakers on their side (numbers 3, 4, and 5) automatically configure themselves as stage monitors, and play monitor feed A, B, and C respectively. You can also reassign any speaker from the M20d touchscreen.

The Relay G10 utilizes 14 RF2 channels for transmission. The system performs a channel scan and sets itself to best channel every time the transmitter is docked into the receiver. This can take up to 15 seconds. If you are using G10 in a setup with other 2.4 GHz wireless devices, please make sure to switch on all other wireless devices first, allow them to initialize and set channels, then dock the G10 transmitter into the receiver for at least 15 seconds so the system can select a free channel. When using several G10 units, please start by docking the first unit, wait 15 seconds, undock it and plug it in. Please make sure that it is on (green LED on the transmitter). Then repeat this process with the next unit. The 14 channels are in place to give the system multiple options for finding the best transmission line. In a real-world environment, it is highly unlikely that a user would be able to use all 14 channels simultaneously, if they happened to own 14 G10 systems. In practice, it's feasible that operating up to eight G10 systems simultaneously would be possible. However, there may be dropouts with higher numbers, as the band will get more crowded with each additional system, especially if there is a WiFi source close by. DE: Das Relay G10 verwendet 14 RF2 Kanäle zur Ãœbertragung. Immer wenn der Sender in den Empfänger gesteckt wird, führt das System einen Kanal-Scan durch, und stellt sich selbstständig auf den besten Kanal ein. Das kann bis zu 15 Sekunden dauern. Wenn Sie das G10 in einem Aufbau mit anderen 2.4 GHz Drahtlos-Systemen verwenden, stellen Sie bitte sicher dass Sie zunächst alle anderen Drahtlos-Geräte anschalten. Erst dann stecken Sie den G10-Sender in den Empfänger (docken) und warten 15 Sekunden. So stellen Sie sicher dass das System einen freien Kanal, bzw. den optimalen wählen kann. Bei Verwendung mehrerer G10 Einheiten stecken Sie bitte die erste Transmittereinheit in den Empfänger, warten 15 Sekunden, nehmen Sie dann heraus und stöpseln sie in das Instrument. Stellen Sie bitte sicher das der Sender auch aktiviert ist (grüne LED auf dem Transmitter). Dann die Prozedur mit dem nächsten Sender wiederholen. Das System kann aus 14 Kanälen auswählen um den jeweils Besten für die Situation zu finden. In einer realistischen Beispiel-Umgebung ist es sehr unwahrscheinlich dass man alle 14 Kanäle gleichzeitig nutzen kann, z.B. wenn man 14 G10 Systemen gleichzeitig verwenden wollte. Normalerweise sind bis zu acht Systeme gleichzeitig realistisch machbar. Bei mehr Systemen sind Aussetzer eher wahrscheinlich da das Frequenzband mit jedem neuen System „voller“ wird. Weitere 2.4 GHz Quellen wie z.B. ein WiFi in der Nähe verstärken das Problem noch. FR: Le Relay G10 utilise 14 canaux RF2 pour la transmission. Chaque fois que vous insertez l’émetteur dans le récepteur (anglais : “dockingâ€) le système effectue un scan de canaux et se met sur le meilleur canal disponible. ça prend env. 15 secondes. Si vous utilisez le G10 en même temps avec autres systèmes ou appareils 2.4 GHz verifiez qu’ils sont allumés avant le G10 : ca va permettre au G10 de chercher des canaux encore libre : Allumez tous les appareils 2.4 GHz, attendez quelques secondes, placez le G10/émetteur dans le récepteur et attendez env. 15 secondes (c’est le temps le G10 a besoin pour trouver le meilleur canal encore libre. Si vous avez plusieurs systems G10 : Commencez par le premier émetteur-G10, placez-le dans le récepteur, attendez 15 secondes, Ensuite prennez l’émetteur et connectez-le avec votre instrument. (Verifiez que la DEL d’émetteur est verte). Répétez cette procedure avec chaque système G10. Le système G10 peut choisir entre 14 canaux pour trouver le meilleur canal dans chaque situation. Dans un environnement réel, ce n’est pas possible d’utiliser 14 canaux en même temps. (par exemple: si on a 14 systèmes G10) . Normallement 8 systèmes en même temps sont effectivement possible. Quand on ajoute plus de systèmes la probabilité de coupures augmente, car la bande de fréquences devient de plus en plus superposée. Autres sources 2.4 GHz (comme WiFi) peuvent intensifier ce problème.
