Here’s the LowDown... Hey. Thanks for choosing the Line 6 LowDown. We’re excited to welcome you to the Line 6 community. We’ve spent tons of time dialing in your new amp with artists and technicians to deliver a fabulous range of critical bass tones. The LowDown was inspired by some classic bass amps that shaped the tone of rock and roll such as the Ampeg® SVT®, Ampeg® B-15, and the Marshall® Super Bass - amps that deliver tone that will rearrange your insides.
Amp Model Details Just as a great artist has many colors to paint with, you to will be able to paint your music in many colors, thanks to the wide range of tone available in the LowDown. Each of these models, when selected, automatically dials up a great useable default sound that you can leave or change to your liking and save by pressing and holding the button for 2 seconds. Some helpful hints We have given you model specific tone controls. They react as the actual amp would in a given situation.
Amp Model Descriptions Clean This model is all about clean, funk and fusion bass tone. It’ll give you all the warm lows and punchy highs you need. This sound was crafted during our studies of the Eden Traveler. R&B This Amp Model is a tribute to those late 60’s and early 70’s clean fat bass tones. It is the kind of tone you hear on most Motown recordings, as played by a pioneering young James Jamerson. This Amp Model draws on our analysis of a 1968 B-15 Flip Top.
Smart FX: The Smart FX knob gives you a trio of the most popular and usable bass effects known to man: Envelope filter Modeled after a Electro-Harmonix Q-Tron®, this is the baddest envelope filter on the planet. You have heard this on your favorite P-Funk and Red Hot Chili Peppers recordings. An envelope filter is a wah-wah type effect that is controlled by the dynamics of your bass note instead of being controlled by your feet.
Saving To store your own “snapshot” of all knob positions (except Master Volume), press and hold the current model button for two seconds. The LED flashes twice when the save is complete. CD/MP3 Connect a CD player, MP3 player, drum machine or other device here, and you’ll hear it from LowDown’s speaker or headphone output. Very handy for jamming along! The instrument input must have a plug inserted to allow the input from the CD/MP3 player to be heard.
Factory Reset of the Model Defaults and a Special Hidden Feature You can reset all 4 of your LowDown’s programmable models to their factory-programmed states by pressing and holding down the Clean model button as you turn on the power. Clean will flash to tell you the reset is complete. Warning: This will erase ALL custom sounds you might have created.
