Line 6 Powercab Plus
Not content with raising the modelling and effects game with Helix, Line 6’s new golden era moved to cabs this year. And there were no half measures. The Powercab has a special co-axial loudspeaker that reproduces the full range of your amp modeller. And it boasts built-in speaker modelling – six digital recreations of classic loudspeakers that left us very, very impressed. Oh, and there’s also 128 Impulse Response-enabled presets, with the ability to load more through the Powercab’s editing software.
We said: “Line 6’s Powercab Plus is technology at its peak, but the most important thing is a reassuring volume knob that you can turn up. With a digital power amp peaking at 300 watts and 125db SPL on tap, there’s more than enough volume for most small to medium gigs and there’s a balanced output ready for when you hit the bigger stages.”
