Fun Fact: Line6

aMo · Post by **aMo** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 8:57 am

I took a peak inside my Line6 FlextoneIII amp today, and lo and behold, there is a single SHARC ADSP-21065L chip inside..

End of fun fact.

I wonder if this means it would be easy to port the Line 6 amp modeler over to the SCOPE system???

This would be a decent partnership for Creamware to go after since Line 6 is so well known. (Like Access Virus on PowerCore)

Why should that fact end your fun?

As much as I am loathe to jump on name-brandwagons and hurt Celmo's chance at dominating the world of amp/speaker sims I think that a Line-6 port would be good for CW. Question is has anyone asked Line6 or Creamware what the viability is?

Try interpreting:
End of (fun fact)
Instead of:
(End of fun) fact

I spend too much time programming...

We have a newspaper here called Fact (Fakt). And it's a mirror of the German Bild (the same publisher, BTW)

Can anyone comment on Celmo's guitar amp modelling versus UAD's equivalent (Nigel, Preflex).

Welcome, Sir Samplaire, in the EU! And Fact is certainly a thing only to read for the football results. They are correct. The rest of the "facts", well...

What do you want this little thing for, if you can have the BAM and the GAM from Celmo? I guess you don't known those plug-ins or you have not tryed them... you'll be amazed, they are quite better sounding than the suposdely "real" thing...

1. The Line 6 name recognition would be good for Creamware to have on board

2. There are tons of presets available for the entire Line 6 products (making it easier/faster to get to the sound you want)

3. The graphical interface for the Line 6 editor is much, much more intuitive than GAM

4. Line 6 comes with a lot more variety of effects and amp models

5. Despite what you say, with some tweaking the Line 6 models sound great and have a very dynamic responsiveness (at least in the XT 2.0 version)

I have tried Celmo's GAM, and you can get a nice sound from it. But the sounds are no better than the Line 6 sounds plus there is less variety/options and it is harder to tweak since the user interface isn't as nice as the Line 6 interface.

I know you want to support Celmo and that's great, but the GAM is not on the same level as Line 6 when it comes to the power of variety and parameters that can be tweaks - or the nice user interface that makes everything easier.

It's too bad that Celmo doesn't update the GAM with some new features that might compete better with Line 6.

im afraid line 6 is in bed with digidesign, so they probably cant make plugs for other platforms, sucks.

i hope im wrong

astroman · Post by **astroman** » Tue May 04, 2004 3:33 am

this would be an interesting fact, because Digidesign uses Motorola DSPs - read: the Sharc code mentioned above is probably pretty generic, nothing highly specialized.

Which does not imply that it sounds bad, but as boiling is usually done by water, the result may not be that outstanding as it's widely accepted.
Highly speculative and no guitar experiences on my side

cheers, Tom

mmmmm.....maybe i should open up my pod and see if it uses sharks aswell.

talking about guitars, check out nomadfactory "rock amp legend". 10 days demo, but you have to install ilook.im very impressed with it.
