rosskoss Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 First off, HX modeling is incredible....when playing through an actual guitar cab, you can't tell things apart from the real thing. The modeling is spot on. However, I'm very disappointed with the Litigator model. It just doesn't sound or feel right....something 'flat' and 'dead' about it. This cannot be the best Dumble model on the Line6 platform?!? It would so good if you could model a real Dumble or one of the clones - suggestion Fuchs ODS50. The ODS50 is like a saxophone for guitar players....captures a lot of that Dumble warm, sustaining, singing tone. I would buy a pedal...but would be great to have an actual model. I think Vertex makes a great pedal that captures the rawer, tweedier side of Dumbles (I think it's Clip A - love that tone!)

rd2rk Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 As stated repeatedly by the designer (search over on TGP) it's NOT a Dumble. As is well known, all Dumbles were made specifically for the original purchaser, so no two Dumbles sound the same, and therefore can not be accurately modeled. Insofar as there is a clone that people think sounds like some Dumble or other, the Fuchs seems to be the one, and it's at least well thought of by Dumble fans, so I do hope they model it. Go over to Ideascale (there's nobody here from Line6) and search for Fuchs, then VOTE for all of the posts by those who didn't search before posting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd2rk Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Of course, if you don't like it, you don't like it, but I think it's one of the best medium gain amps in the box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brue58ski Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I think it's the icon used to represent it that confuses people and the description on the Helix Help website says "inspired by boutique mid-gain amps". I can see how some might assume a lot of wrong things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
