This was a night of firsts, and lasts.  First night I played out fully using line 6 gear, no ADA gear (*sadface*).  Also the first night I played out with many other changes, and last night I played in a regular gigging band.  (Although, I had some *very* fun fill ins and gigs after, work is now in the way of that).

That aside, I think Line 6 gear can deliver some serious tone when playing.  Not the same feel as real tubes, even with the latest, but very light weight and very acceptable.

What exactly from Line6 are you speaking of? I ask because I had a HD500, was decent for studio work however I never took the chance on using it live for gigging. I didn't mind the amp modeling as much as I felt their effects were just lacking something. With the exception of the delays OMG, they are nice.

I always thought that it could be a good complement of normal/vintage gear.

I payed through an entry level line 6 a while ago (my friend bought for his daughter).  I found the blues rock setting quite usable (though took me 20 mins to tune her guitar, it's really crap  :facepalm: ), but this was at low volume. They certainly have their place.
