For the technical description, I'll let you check out the line6 site.
Very complete connectivity The only downside being the absence of a switch on / off.
Everything else is very well thought out, despite the size of the product (4 switches anyway).
The hull is of good quality plastic.
The transformer is supplied with large, therefore provide a good cover type bracket for mobile use.
All buttons are relatively accessible, the large dial is a real plus in terms of saving time.
Note the presence of cate SD slot to save even more things and to perform firmware updates.
UTILIZATION
As usual, Line 6 does not come only a looper but a Swiss Army knife.
The looper is indeed a boarding pod integrated with all the modeling amps that go with it .... no surprise is the Line 6 and it's heavy, it's like to have a pod xt "light" in the hands.
Being a regular at the brand, I did not have to read the manual to explore the beast.
Editing sounds really poses no problem, and access to samples and recording is intended so easy, everything is controlled with foot qqs settings in advance (like disable the automatic selection of sounds when changing song ).
The pedal can also be configured in different ways and may for example be used only multi effects, it says a switch over to increment the program sounds would have been welcome, it will be necessary to bend down and pick his sound with his girl on the mimine selector to disappoint .... I require .. eh !!!!!
SOUND QUALITY
This is the Line 6 sounds are the same as the series spiderIII, it's very very good if you take the time to tweak the knobs a little and as often in Line6, not to push the gain in depth (beyond 13h) to maintain a clean and precise.
Songs and samples are enregstrés an incredible quality, everything was done by professionals in the studio .... we are very far from the drum machines integrated with rotten boss pedals.
I wanted to use this only as a looper pedal and more without going through an effects loop like any other pedal (thank you Line 6) but the whole rhythm section is top notch .... recorded all styles are present, we can only keep the battery if you want ........ we really feel like going to play with ..... zicos tOP
As for the loops, a small pedal stroke to record .. and tat's it .... so easy, it is obviously stacked and then delete the last taken a real looper, the stack of a dozen tracks do not appear to alter the sound, unlike some other pedals.
Small problem, the absence of automatic release of the record to the first note played (boss does), then it will be clear with his foot but that does not pose too many problems with a little practice.
In sound modeling, this will obviously depend on the type of amplifier which is connected to the toy, a Valvestate 80, the sound is nikel but when I plug in my head SpiderIII connected to a 4 * 12, it is more difficult to find a neutral sound ... so I use a Twang Red on my head and after a small adjustment of equalizer is nikel.
OVERALL OPINION
HUGE ........
What else ..... it is above all a great tool, a compact course ........ but oh so gratifying.
Line 6 surprises us yet again, there is often very very good and sometimes very poor (microspider. spiderIII .. 15), but now it's heavy.
Go for a shop to test it and you will pass.
I had a Boss RC20 to home ......... NOTHING TO DO in terms of simplicity and efficiency.
All songs are varied and can work on different rhythms and solos to send through all possible modes and ranges, many bluesy accompaniment allow flights myxolidiennes and work on that mail order harmonic minor scale.
I allowed myself without any difficulty to import sequences that I programmed on my micro br.
The icing on the cake, can connect and play two instruments at the same time we can assign such a low entry with an auxiliary bass amp modeling and then a keyboard or something else, in short, all configurations are possible and ring the fire god.
I have not tried the mic input.
I am a teacher and I think this little toy will accompany me in my classes to make them even more alive, for the use stage .... why not?
