newidentity Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 So its at least another 2 weeks for us HD(no X) customers to wait til we get access to the new model packs and firmware. Would love to see Line 6 guitar ninjas Sean Halley and Paul Hindmarsh do a full run down of the new amp models to get us all psyched while we wait. Love their playing, they really helped me decide on a full dream rig. While there are a couple of customer vids appearing on youtube, 99% of line 6 users seem to be metal heads (not dissing, just saying) so some of those tasty Halley / Hindmarsh skills across all styles would give us a true idea of the model packs. In fact... given that these were announced in January...how Line 6 have managed to not have taster videos ready is genuinely baffling to me. Surely a pretty basic promotional tool for their product to let us get an idea for what we're paying for? Pretty much every other product imaginable from the audio world has readily accessible listening clips or vids to hear before buying. So Line 6 - fire up your video cameras and make us happy (that sounded so wrong....I apologise...you know what I meant.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mincer Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I would think several videos would have been launched with the new firmware- it would certainly help sell them to see what could be done with the new amps. Instead we have to rely on user's videos of varying quality, none of which is selling the amp packs to me. I think if they were going to do them, they would have been done by now. Any videos would probably be to sell the Firehawk or Variax standard, both of which will bring more $$ than this update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newidentity Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 There have been pretty cool vids for free firmware updates in the past, so don't see why they can't do it for something that they're asking money for. Power to the people....post a +1 if you think line 6 should get their asses in gear with some model pack vids... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevevnicks Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 maybe Yamaha should start pumping more cash in to line 6 help build the company, How line 6 come across to me is they were the under dogs, who proved they had some good worthy products, I guess that line 6 has a few projects going on at anyone time, so maybe the POD team could do with Boost in man power, I mean if a product takes off, and seeing the HD500 was released in 2005 and is still being sold to day (albeit now called the HD500X) it must mean its sold well ? so maybe its time for Yamaha to expand line 6 team. its the silly little things that need ticking in the box that's all.....

The HD series was released in 2010 my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevevnicks Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 oh yea that what I meant 2010 :) lol its been sold for around 5 years give or take, so it must be a product that sells well, or they would of stop building it years ago ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
