THE AMPS & CABS
HD 147�s heart is its collection of Amp and Cab Models�resulting from Line 6�s meticulous study of a dream collection of vintage and modern amplifiers and cabinets. Each position of HD 147�s Model knobs calls up a particular Amp/Cab combination, powered by many of the same coveted models that appear in the Line 6 Vetta series amps as well as PODXT.

What�s In There
Line 6 Clean
To create this Amp Model, we essentially grafted the preamp and tone stack of a JC-120 (Roland�s popular �Jazz Chorus� solid state combo) onto the power amp and transformer of a classic Marshall JTM-45 tube head, thereby giving you the crisp and clear front end typical of a solid state amp, but with a rich, satisfying tube amp-style bite as you turn it up.
Line 6 Super Clean (Red alternate model for �Line 6 Clean�)
Forget what you know about how clean or how bright a guitar amplifier can go. Line 6 Super Clean goes farther, adding a lot of brightness. While this model is both Sparkley and Clean it has two other fun tricks up its sleeve as well: Setting the Drive knob at max gives a really broken �small amp on 10 about to die� sound. FUN! And the bass knob has an extreme effect when set to minimum� for sweet AM radio sounding tone. Caution: Because Super Clean adds so much brightness, it generally won�t work so well with distortion pedals, since they usually add lots of high frequencies, too. The combination may produce unnatural artifacts�or just rip your head off. Plug an undistorted guitar in here, though, and we�re talking super happy shiny bright.
Line 6 Super Sparkle
You know how all great amps have a certain sweet spot � a particular setting where they sound magical � dripping with tone? Super Sparkle captures that organic vibe with a new twist: its voiced in the clean/low gain realm where everything usually sounds too clinical or too dark. Super Sparkle is an edgy tone that will sparkle and shimmer if you treat her right. So play nice.
