Line6 gained a ball sack?

first off....you dont know what Bogner is? And secondly, ball sack is being used as an adjective to describe an amp's tone as if it all the sudden received a shot of testosterone, growling, and is kicking ass until it gets old and gets prostate cancer.

I think rumours were suggesting this amp had tubesticles. The power and standby switches also lead me to believe this. I'm not too sure how good it will sound mind.

It does have tubes, check the Line6 threads in the Equipment forum. Also, here's some pics and other info: http://www.zakkwylde.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6810

k, guess powertubes do help, but still the distortion (and that's what we really need) is "modeled" insted of generated by a preamp-tube-circuit....(although there are 2 ecc83 in there)
so it might have tubesticles but no agile sperm....
can't I just hate it no matter how it's gonna sound?

i'm looking forward to trying it out when they're available
i've heard they'll offer a 100w head in the sub 1k range, if that's true and the thing actually sounds decent i'll probably pick one up as soon as they hit the used market...it would make a nice backup/recording tool

basically it will sound like a pod through a tube power amp...uke:
Or not. If you read the thread I mentioned, you'll see it's not just a POD with a tube poweramp.

besides all the people on the video seem like a bunch of gay with all those "wow" "no way"
here's a short vid of that amp

To me line6 is like it's admitting he lost the run for the best modelling amp on earth because they used tubes on this one.
We still have mesa, soldano, engl and many more that can build better "real" amps than line6.

It's ridiculous that you guys are already making conclusions and assumptions about this amp, since it's not even available for testing yet.
Wait for it to come out, try it out, and then run your mouth.

NO!
predjudices are fun!
and it's still is an amp that tries to sound like some other amps..
so at the end of the day it will STILL be the imitation of an amp...
can't be as good as the real deal....might be good, but never perfect and every producer should be a perfectionist...

the thing is :
If line6 starts making tube amps is like saying we have lost this fight.
I really admire what they do with digital stuff, I want them to make some new modelling that is close to the original, that is the future, tubes are obsolete.
I really hope for an amp that can give that tube compression so smooth and that good sag typical of tube amps.

All I know is, I'm very happy with my Line 6 gear, especially my HD147. I think most of the prejudice against them is based on their speaker simulation, which could be a lot better. I don't use it anymore...
As for going with tubes for a new high end amp, cool, and Bogner is a great company to partner with. I'm very excited to hear the new amp. I don't think that tubes are necessary anymore to get great tone, though.

I don't actually. Live I play through a Line 6 HD147 into a Vetta 4x12 cab, with speaker simulation turned off. Sounds much better without it.
In studio lately, I'm using Amplitube 2 software. Our album "Dark Fiber," though, is Peavey 6505+ through a real miked Mesa 4x12.
I'm really liking amp simulation more and more...
