The Line6 presets (128 of them) come set like the original amp they are modeling, a bassman for example. But...unlike the original, they let you add effects, tone, mid, you name it, from the front panel.
As you can see here, the speaker leads go into the back panel of the amp chassis and have jack inputs so you can remove them and put in a set of headphones and practice in stealth mode if your neighbor has been getting nasty bout the sounds coming out of your house lately. The power switch is in the top left there..the red button. That needs to be on the front I think, as well as a headphone jack there too.
The
floor board allows you to go up and down the 32 banks and then across the
4 channels of each bank. The right pedal is volume and the left is
the effects pedal.
This is the Line6 Ax2, The Sys 212 and Ax2 are both modeling amplifiers. This means they have NO tubes. 256 total presets, 128 factory preset amp-and-effects setups, 128 programable by me. It has 100 watts of stereo power, custom "Guitar Amplification" 12" speakers, a direct out with cabinet simulator for recording or headphone monitoring, a chromatic digital tuner, and a digitally independent Aux channel, free from guitar tone and effects processing for clean amplification of acoustic guitar, CD, drum machine, tape, or even vocals (with their own separate reverb send) to accompany your guitar sound. Full-time stereo effects, total MIDI capability, & more.
