Line 6

Based on the modelling algorithms of Line 6’s Helix processors, the company’s POD Express comes in a stompbox format and has a very straightforward user interface.

Why clog up your stage with effects you only use briefly? Line 6’s new stompbox can be any pedal you want it to be, and will fit neatly into any pedalboard setup.

Does Line 6's streamlined approach to amp modelling manage to provide all the features needed for stage, studio and home?

Modelling pioneers Line 6 have breathed new life into their ageing delay unit — but they’ve also retained everything that made the original a classic.

Line 6 claim to have put physical modelling technology into a combo amplifier that any guitarist will feel immediately at home with. Paul White puts their claims to the test.

Pro Tools owners can now reap the benefits of a stack of vintage guitar amps thanks to a new plug-in from the masters of physical modelling. Paul White tunes up, plugs in and starts cranking up the virtual knobs.

At last, an easy way of consistently getting a polished, 'produced' bass guitar sound in your recordings! Dave Lockwood tests a physical modelling processor that bass players and engineers alike will welcome.

Paul White tries out a modelling guitar amp with a wide range of tones and a stereo DI output.

Line 6 have released two DSP-based effects pedals that use physical modelling to recreate the echo, delay and modulation treatments of a bygone age. Paul White — who was there first time around — finds out how they measure up to the real thing.

You might think the Pod Pro is just a Pod in a rack, but there's a lot more to it than that.
