This amp is UNBELIEVABLE and it's a SOLID STATE. This head puts tube amps and the amps its modelling to complete shame! There's no better deal than this amp, there are all the amp models (100% accurate) you would ever want and the effects in one package for the price of one modelled amp. I bought this within 10 minutes of testing it out. It so amazing. It's so realistic and you get 16 amps all in one for the price of one. 300 Watts! Make your ears bleed! You have nothing to lose with this amp! No tubes! Nothing to worry about! Great Job Line 6! Keep Going!

Line6 just created the perfect head. As soon as I saw it, I just had to play it. I'm glad I did. As soon as I did I was attached to it. It sounds good even at very low volumes as well as high. The effects on it are easy to use. I'm glad I got this head and I can tell I will be sticking with it for a LONG time. This head is superior to the Marshall.

When I played this head through a mesa/boogie 4x12 cab I was absolutely blown away. This head sounds like a mesa/boogie rectifier! You can even get good sounds at low volume levels too! I recommend this amp to anyone. I absolutely love it. The beautiful looks with the chrome face plate look mind blowing!

I bought this because I couldn't decide between a 5150 and a Mesa Dual Rect.(which it models VERY well) and with a tube amp, you have to replace tubes and HAVE to have speakers connected to it. Not the HD147. I take the head with me on trips and play through my headphones a lot since its smaller than decent practice amps. There are so many great tones that you can get out of this thing. The clean models it has are also very good.I bought the FBV Longboard with it and it makes this a lot easier. Plus the wah-wah pedal is pretty good too. This amp also does some great cab-modeling too. There is one model that is a Mesa 4x12 with extended low end. It's CRAZY low. The 300 watts makes it a killer head. The effects are great and there the midi I/O's are nice to have along with XLRs. There is also an online database with tones created by other users that you can program into your own amp. The possibilities seem endless. It looks great in person and the lights look great in darker venues. Those who are not familiar with Line6 products may have a bit of trouble learning all the features, but it's completely worth it.

I've been a Line 6 fan since I first got the POD years ago, and I still think they're amazing. The 147 is no exception. You can get nearly any tone you want and is perfect for the studio guitarist that has to play multiple styles. If you only play a few styles of music that are closely related, i.e. classic jazz and fusion, then it's really not the essential amp of the 21st century. If you are dead set on a modeling amp, then by all means go with Line6.
