Nimbas Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'd like to see a Helix model with built in power amp - kind of like Kemper has. That way you only have to have a cab if you don't want to go direct - or need it for any reason. There could be a solid state version at one price point - and a tube one at another. That would be cool wouldn't it - a Helix with Tubes. (May as well make it where you can re-bias and use whatever tubes you want too - I mean if you're gonna go all the way why not :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willjrock Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Im a major tweakbag, so id be down ;) Id like to see line 6 concentrate on whatever is important to achieving the best tones, and if that means adding a power amp stage, go for it.

roscoe5 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 It only seems like the next logic step in typical Line 6 product evolution...AX212, Vetta, DT, StageSource, Firehawk... What would be REALLY cool is a DT/Firehawk 1500 hybrid that would do wet/dry/wet, tube (w/ topology) or digital solid state power, 1 or 2x12 woofers, 2x6.5 coax, 1 horn, defeatable tweeters/horns and coax speakers (for tube amp models, or whatever). I mean digital solid state power is pretty cheap, and tube/solid state amp switching technology has been around for a while (Radial Headbone TS). Could be combos or separate head/cabs. Summer NAMM 2016 is coming up in June ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe5 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Now I need to do more strumming and less typing... http://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Helix-DT-Firehawk-1500-Hybrid-Amp/813682-23508 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Vetta III :D Mike Exactly what I thought when I read this. I'm sure something like this may happen, but i already own a FH1500 and plan for Helix to play thru it. BTW the Firehawk 1500 is awesome sounding on its own without Helix.
