Line 6 v3.00 - Can it get any better?

[jpdennis]

OK, I am sure it can get better, however, I have gotten fairly close to Nirvana.  For now I am merely talking about the Acoustic EQ, the 12 string, the Poly Capo, and the Das Benzin FX blocks.  As Line 6 offered more and more FX blocks leading up to and  including 2.92 I had been using a filter to drop my guitar tuning but it seemed a little distorted when punching triads if not full chords (kind of expected).  Since I constantly use my guitars volume and tone pots during my playing as well I could control the beast to some extent.  With the Poly Capo my ease of use for this drop tuning issue is greatly solved; I use a 1970 Gold top and 1983 Strat.

 

As far as the attempt to get acoustic guitar or 12 string acoustic or mandolin or even Dobro out of my stock guitars I had similar challenges; slight distortion and the 12 string could not get a comfortable polyphonic sound even just using a diatonic style of playing.  Creating the four aforementioned patches with the new Line 6 12 string, Poly Capo, and Acoustic EQ cleared up all my challenges.  The polyphonic sound is extremely satisfying to my ears using the Line 6 FX blocks instead of the IRs I had been using.

 

And yes there are more new features like the favorites and the ability to have custom settings on my go-to blocks as well (not at my home studio so I cannot remember the exact term but there you go).

 

Now for the up and coming "when is the next firmware upgrade" posts and blah blah blah.  Please don't flame me as I don't start those; anymore ;-).  Now about that tuner ... I am joking!!!!!!!!! (Shutup Dennis) lol
