Some german website had that posted this morning and it was gone in a couple hours. Luckily some guy over on the Petrucci forum saved the pic! Someone also copy/pasted the specs on the line 6 forum and translated some of it. It seems to essentially be a Vetta II preamp in terms of features/function. there the "Live" version too. I was thinking aboutgetting another XT, but I might wait for his to come out. Specs:

Then theres a new "spider jam" model coming out. Pic:
I haven't seen specs for that yet, but apparently it's sort of their response to the fender g-dec
Then (what I'm most interested in) is the Bogner/Line6 collaboration. This thing leaked a few weeks ago, but these are the first full pictures that I know of and I've yet to see specs (other than speculation). It's known at this point that it does have a tube power section and was designed under Bogner's supervision. It's also been mentioned by some people with advanced word from their distributer that the could be going for as low as 500-700 bucks. From the looks and the little bit of talk going on about it....I'm predicting something along the lines of the h&K switchblade. I'm actually kind of excited about this as I think it has some serious potential, but time will tell. I strongly doubt it'd be able to replace my current setup but if they are good and the price is right, I could use a cheaper amp to lug around at school with me.

2x12:
there's also a teaser video line 6 posted as part of their(extremely retarded) attempt at viral marketing, and I'm only posting for the sake of being a completest:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSglShqDw44
Now just to clarify, NONE of this (except for the video and some other teaser pics on their site) has been confirmed by Line6 so it shouldn't be taken as gospel.
