Line 6 Extends The Acclaimed Dream Rig with Free James Tyler Variax® v1.8 and POD® HD v2.0 Updates
ANAHEIM, Calif. (PRWEB) January 19, 2012
Line 6, Inc. (NAMM room 212A/B) the industry leader in digital audio technology for musicians and audio professionals, announces free updates for James Tyler Variax® modeling guitars and POD® HD multi-effects that give users incredible new features and enhanced integration.
Soon to be downloadable for free on line6.com, JTV firmware v1.8 for the James Tyler Variax series features spectacular updates to the guitar’s five acoustic models and enhanced functionality when the guitar is connected to a POD HD500 or POD HD Pro multi-effect processor.
Benefitting from new breakthrough acoustic guitar modeling technology developed by Line 6, the updated models offer breathtaking depth and detail. Capturing the subtle nuances of string vibration through the soundboard and the tone woods of the guitar body, the models provide an unparalleled acoustic guitar playing experience. The updated models are based on* the Martin® D28, Martin® D12-28, Martin® 0-18, Guild® 12 String, and Gibson® J200 acoustic guitars.
Also soon to be downloadable for free on line6.com, new POD HD v2.0 firmware update for POD HD Pro and POD HD500 includes three brand-new HD amp models that dramatically expand the POD HD family’s sonic palette and extend the award-winning Line 6 HD modeling technology to bass amps and mic pre-amps. First up is the world’s very first HD bass amp model based on* an Ampeg® B-15NF Portaflex®, one of the most popular studio bass amps of all time. Next is a stunning new HD guitar amp model based on* the legendary Marshall® “Plexi” 1959 Super Lead 100-watt head. The third new HD model is based on* the classic tube goodness of the Requisite® Y7 mic preamp, which can be placed at any point in the signal chain to give incredible warmth to guitars, bass or vocal sounds.
In addition, the free updates contain a host of new features that flourish when a JTV guitar and a POD HD500 or POD HD Pro are connected directly to a Line 6 DT-series boutique tube amplifier. The result is complete, full-scale, analog and digital reconfiguration of guitar models, effects, HD amplifier models and analog tube topology with the press of a single footswitch.
New enhancements to this dream guitar rig include the ability to use POD HD500 or POD HD Pro presets to engage/disengage the JTV guitar’s onboard Variax modeling, allowing footswitch control over magnetic pickups, guitar models and the combination of the two. Additionally, the guitar’s volume and tone knobs can now control the POD amp model and effect parameters, opening up new avenues for performance expression. Alternate tunings can be saved together with POD HD500 or POD HD Pro presets allowing up to 512 unique custom guitar tunings with instant footswitch control.
Featuring the finely crafted James Taylor Variax guitar, revolutionary POD HD multi-effects unit, and cutting-edge tube amplifier, the Line 6 dream rig delivers unparalleled versatility and authenticity.
