Patience young grasshopper. I think Line 6 will deliver… soon.

Apparently the Brit 800 is the 2204 model which is the 50w version. Could be splitting hairs but sounds like Cliff is intrigued enough to go shopping for a vintage JMP 2203.

Thanks for that link, I don't need a Axe-Fx III but I would love to have one just to tinker with all those settings!!!!

It certainly is an odd omission that they're not already a preference you can enable or disable on the full fat Helix.

If they offered that they would indirectly admit that there was a visibility issue with the Floor.

Not really. Different people want different things.

Well, why aren't they doing it then?

You'd have to ask them. I have no idea.

I tried. Won't try again (makes no sense anymore anyway as the Floor is history and won't be revived either).

Couldn't L6 take the amp they own without the bright cap and put it back in? I would think that an amp modeling company would have someone on staff that could turn it back to stock, model it, and put it back if they wanted it left that way. Seems like a no brainer to me but what do I know, lol...

 

[Orvillain]

Where are the Marshalls with bright caps?

Why don't any of the Marshall models have a bright cap setting like Fractal? Has anyone had any success dialing in a good aggressive Marshall tone with the kerrang? I've tried this with the Plexi bright, 2204, Badonk, Placater, etc. They just don't get there with all that I've tried.

Hilariously, I think they think I'm James!

Nah it is different. When you run a pedal, you have a nice little painted glyph on a box to look at; a monkey with eight arms, a rip off of some classic movie screen printed to the chassis, or something pretending to be the flux capacitor in order to get you to spend £300 instead of £80.

That's why I build my own.

Called him r2d2 in the past as well. Didn't turn us into friends.

I keep thinking of this:

It's written in some Arcane Medieval England script, possibly Bletchley Cyrllic

Godamnit, I think that is the best thing I've ever posted on the internet in my entire life. It is all downhill from here.

Maybe the 2203s we heard were the amps we made along the way... er... whatever.

Anyway. The guys over at the L6 Support Forum are a bunch of salty dudes, what the actual fuck. How can you be that entitled and salty in a fucking gear forum. I do this for escapism, not to meet any more assholes I meet in real life already.

It’s not a support forum and they will remind you of that all the time. It’s a user jerk off forum.

There are a few over there that are pretty knowledgeable and helpful, but you can find the same info in other places for Line 6 gear if you search for it.

Almost every forum has keyboard worriers that don't have a problem being ugly to anyone since there are few if any repercussions to their rudeness. We have all seen some comments by people online that would get a bitch-slap in real life.

As one of these guys I can confirm.
BUT: it's a a forum where new users frequently ask "newbie" or technical questions. These often are trivial or interesting. I enjoy engaging there.

Cliff pulled the trigger on the 2203 for the folks not on the FAS forum.

Now it's a race...

Assuming the leak is true, Line 6 *should* win this race if 3.70 is in beta, but you never know with Cliff!

Obviously the reference amps can make a significant difference, but what will be interesting is having a Line 6 2203 and a Fractal 2203 dropping almost simultaneously using their latest respective modelling techniques.

 

[James Freeman]

Everything goes according to my plan, both Line 6 and Fractal are right on schedule.
