LINE 6 AMPS
837
Compressor (Bass Amp only)
This is a fixed ratio compressor optimized to “tighten up” the bass sound, i.e. to even out levels and increase punch
and sustain. The Threshold control sets the level at which the onset of compression occurs. In practice, this means
that the lower the Threshold setting, the more compression will be applied.
D Activate the Compressor by clicking the “On” button.
Additional Line 6 Amp Models
If you have a Line 6 USB hardware device connected to your computer, you can access all the Amp and Cabinet
model in this device from within the Line 6 Guitar/Bass Amp in Reason. The additional amp/cab models will be listed
together with the standard models and are selected and tweaked in the same way!
For the additional amp models to be available in Reason, two conditions must be met:
• If it's the first time you use the Line 6 hardware with the computer, you need to authorize the hardware.
Run the Line 6 License Manager application and follow the instructions. The Line 6 License Manager application
can be downloaded from http://www.line6.com.
! if you are using an iLok key containing a license for POD Farm or POD Farm Platinum, all the licensed amp
models will automatically be available in Reason - you don't have to perform any additional downloads or au-
thorizations.
• If you have licenses for additional amp/effect models on your Line 6 account, you can authorize your computer
to use these licenses with Reason.
Run the Line 6 License Manager application and follow the instructions.
You can also use Amp Tones created with other Line 6 devices (including effect models) in the Line 6 Amps. In the
case of effects these will be heard but you will not be able to change parameter settings in Reason. You can, how-
ever, use software such as Line 6 POD Farm to change settings and then save it as an Amp Tone which can be used
in the Line 6 Amps.
Line 6 hardware also feature various Preamp models which can be selected as Amp models in the Line 6 Amps. You
may not have access to all parameters in Reason as these models have different Amp Parameters, but you can use
the Line 6 POD Farm to make settings in the same way as with effects.
• The Line 6 Amp devices in Reason load Tones of the Pod Farm 1 or Pod Farm 2 format.
! The Line 6 Amp devices in Reason will always save Tones in the Pod Farm 2 format. These Tones cannot be
opened for editing in Pod Farm 1 - you need to use Pod Farm 2 or later.
