General

As a guitarist, you want your sound to cut through the mix as clearly as possible. This isn't always possible, though, as you can sometimes miss the subtleties of your own playing, particularly while performing on stage. Line 6 solves that problem with the Firehawk 1500. On top of 6 speakers that deliver a total of 1500 watts, this guitar amp combo contains loads modelling options. You'll have an entire arsenal of consistently balanced monitors at your disposal that offer a crystal-clear sound. What's more, you can use it to amplify your electric or acoustic guitar and play a variety of stereo effects.

The magic number six

Usually, a standard combo has 1 or 2 speakers, 4 at the most. Line 6 raises the bar by integrating 6 speakers in this Firehawk 1500 for a wide tonal range: a 12-inch woofer, two pairs of 5.5-inch coaxial stereo speakers, and a 1-inch compression driver. Every detail of your playing will come through loud and clear. If you've selected a stereo effect, you'll be able to hear it doubled via this amp. The wide coverage angle is also handy, as it enables you to hear yourself no matter where you happen to be on stage. To enhance that audibility, you can tilt it back by folding out the extendible stand in the rear.

Easy modelling

As previously mentioned, the Firehawk is a modelling amplifier, which means it can simulate all sorts of well-known amp sounds and create a ton of effects. An LED display shows you at a glance which presets or settings you've selected. You can also download the Firehawk Remote app (for iOS and Android) for even faster and easier control using your smartphone or tablet. For full functionality, we recommend the specially-designed FBV3 foot controller which allows you to switch between sounds in a flash!

Line 6 Firehawk 1500 6-way guitar amp combo
Wrote the following about Line 6 Firehawk 1500 6-way guitar amp combo
Loei zware combo. Weegt circa 30 kg en is vrij zwaar. Daarnaast door alleen een hendel bovenop erg moeilijk om te dragen waardoor het echt slepen is om de versterker van zolder in de oefenruimte met de band te krijgen en weer terug. Eigenlijk zouden dergelijke combo handels aan de zijkanten moeten hebben die je bij bijvoorbeeld een 4x12 cabinet wel hebt.

Verder wel een redelijk geluid maar er zijn betere producten op de markt voor dit geld qua geluid. Daarentegen wel een volledige effectenmodule en daarin blinkt Line 6 gewoon uit als het gaat om prijs-kwaliteit. De app is erg eenvoudig te bedienen en de meest gebruikte versterkersmodellen en effecten zijn aanwezig. Via Bluetooth erg makkelijk te koppelen al is dat soms in het begin lastig en is ook het update van de firmware software niet altijd probleemloos.

Hoewel het een topapparaat is zou ik toch eerder een Line 6 Amplifi versterker aanraden. Kosten drie keer minder en is de helft lichter in gewicht. De voordelen - meerprijs - van de Firehawk ten opzichte van de Amplifi zit hem met name in de FX loop en de input voor een Line 6 Variax-gitaar. Heb je beide niet nodig dan zou ik afvragen of de extra mogelijkheden je de extra € 400 waard zijn.

NAMM 2016: Two New Amplifiers and Controller by Line 6

Friday 22 January 2016 By Lizanne

Modelling brand Line 6 had some goodies to present at the NAMM show in Anaheim. First of all, they've presented the Firehawk 1500-watt amplifier, which has loads of sounds on board. They've also expanded their AMPLIFi range with an even smaller model, and so you can keep everything under control, they've also introduced the FBV 3 controller. In short, plenty for anyone to boost their sound!
