Re: Help Daddy Pick out his new look
Cool Matt. Now that's the 3 channel with the clean channel, gear 2 & 3 footswitchable with a boost...right?
Oops, sorry Jeff, missed ya.
Not quite. It's the 50 Watt single-channel version of it's big brother, the Quick Rod. It's a single channel, so doesn't really have a dedicated "clean" channel, and my thinking is that it's not really what it was cut out to do anyway - it's a pissed off amp is how I've heard it described (probably pissed because it has no clean channel to get the ladies). It has the 3 hot rodded gears (plexi, 800 and super 800), with 2 OD settings for each gear if I understand correctly. However, the footswitch allows shifting gears between 1 and 2, OR 2 and 3 (but not 1 to 3), which it's big brother cannot do (I think). I guess without the clean channel, there's an extra switch lying around doing nothing on the foot pedal, so Scott made it a "channel" switcher for lack of better term.
It has the solo boost as well.
I debated for a long time (9 months to be exact) as to whether I could live without the clean channel. Finally, after exhaustive questioning of certain forum bros I decided that what else would I have to do with that cool little Line 6 lying around than to use it for cleans, and to run some probably pretty cool stereo options. After I thought about that for awhile I decided that between the two amps, I could probably have quite a variety of things available. But I always say this, and then just end up dirty 75-percent of the time anyway.
