Opinions on "Insane" setting on Line 6 amps

I forgot the "winky". I was being silly

However I still stand by my statement in the general sense. Having owned and played a bunch of 60s/70's 80's and more modern Marshalls as well as low end to top end Line 6 products..IMO, Line6 really does not know what they are doing as far as Marshall emulations go, regardless if it's a POD XT , Spider..FT, Vetta, or the HD147...all of the Marshall models sound compressed, lifeless and thin to my ears... no low end balls, "sparkle", or clarity/definition like a real Marshall has.

Some of the MESA and Fender models line 6 has are great though. I remember liking the Diezel model on the HD too.

You've gotta just ignore what they're trying to model and let let you ears guide you. Most of them sound nothing like the actual amp, but sound good anyway

The Insane preset is only useful as a novelty.

"What do you think they called this sound."

"Man, that's INSANE!"

It's an obvious place to save your first personal preset.

The insane setting on their 10" cheapo model has some ghey-@ss effect going on in the background, lol. I think that's what makes it sound horrifying.
