Members Jisatsu Posted August 25, 2015 Members Share Posted August 25, 2015 Anyone use one? Any personal experiences? I might be coming into one for the mega cheapz and well I'd like another multi effects unit to play with. Looks pretty spiffy in the demos. Any and all personal info would be cool.

Members terr0rgasm Posted August 25, 2015 Members Share Posted August 25, 2015 Is this like the Helix lite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 No, I've never tried one... can anyone tell us more about them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jisatsu Posted August 26, 2015 Author Members Share Posted August 26, 2015 In a pre-emptive strike I downloaded the app to my ipad, and it has a ton of options, and the whole ability to dig through my music library and give patch recommendations based off of which songs you play is pretty freaking cool. Now if only the trade comes through :-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if only the trade comes through :-s This sounds really similar to some of the features of the AMPLiFi amplifiers, which I have tried. They do have some pretty darned cool features. I believe Chris Loeffler here at HC is working on a review of the Firehawk, although I don't know how soon it will be published. If you have any urgent pre-purchase questions, you might want to drop him a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jisatsu Posted August 27, 2015 Author Members Share Posted August 27, 2015 this is marketed as a recording tool. is that what you're looking for? I wouldn't say so much as a recording tool, but more like something to tinker with and not have to constantly fumble around with my pedals on and off the pedal board. Maybe something to spark creativity, while allowing me to use headphones. The Ipad/phone connectivity seems pretty sweet, and I like the multiple options for outputs. The last Line 6 product I spent any real time with was their guitar port, and while it was a fun toy, it also allowed me to tinker with lots of effects and build apon my sound. TL;DR? Kinda sorta, not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Phil, I have been out of the game for a couple years and didn't see the Amplifi series until just yesterday while I was looking for more info on the firehawk. I was offered the firehawk in a trade, but it seems like the other party is backing out (there's quite a few miles between us and I don't like shipping trades with strangers.). I might actually look into the amplifi fx100 as another option, seems very similar with half the footswitches. Looks like line 6 is going in the right direction these days, at least for the at home hobbyists. More user friendly it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda sorta, not really. i was mistaken about it being marketed as a recording tool. it looks like it is an hd500 with iso/android interface. i borrowed a friends hd500 for a couple weeks and while the sounds were fine i found the interface daunting. line6 really did it right with the m9/13. having to use the pc or phone to change settings on a guitar rig is a bad idea, imo.
