  • I have the FH FX for years now, and I was never satisfied with the sound, I could never get out the clear sounds influencers do here on YT. Mine lack clarity and sound nasal, even though I play them right to the same speakers as the YT.

    I blamed the pickups or strings of my guitars, but I do get better sounds out of my PC using the Line6 App.

    What is the difference? I have a sound enhancer on my PC, FX Sound with an equalizer.

    I do not have any sound enhancer attached to the output of the Firehawk FX, so I must come to the conclusion that the sound is really dull as it comes.

    When I turn FX Sound off on my PC, the sounds still sound a little better. And that you guys know it and modify the sound with an equalizer or sound mixer when recording to make it sound so great.

    But I feel cheated…

  • I cant download the app as its too old for my new Android phone.
    This unit is a toy for kids to play with.
    No way would you take this to gigs.
    Very top end sounds like crap.
    Like all line 6 gear you will be laughed at if you take it out on the rd.

  • So could i buy a cheap android table and hook it up to it and not have to connect to the internet or update the app or worry about old software going out of date? It could live with the rig?

  • For firehawk there is no desktop app as of now. It can only be controlled by a mobile device or a tablet.

  • Congratulations …. a question, once installed the AMPLIFI remote application on the device to be connected via Bluetooth to the pedal board, to choose the different types of sound and change them you must always be connected to a wi fi – 4g data network or you can use the application even without connection? Thank you

  • I could never understand why would people demo an amp modelling unit by plugging it into an amp, makes no sense to me. Thanks for the review anyway.

  • a well builtt unit, but seems hard to control, when you switch sounds, it seems to lag a bit behind with the previous sound, plus i find alot of the sounds are very similar, and some sounds are too weird to even use, and can't use, don't evewn know what they are suppose to be. to me its trying to be all things to all people and its disappointing

  • I must say that I have been very intrigued with this board. My only drawback is not knowing exactly which stomp or effect it is. I know I can tell based on the color that it's Mod, Delay, Reverb, just like the M13 but when you push the switch the display only shows Stomp on here. I wish It would display exactly what it is, like HD Screamer for example. I guess just make sure you have the app open on phone or tablet.

  • why not just press the buttons with your left hand instead of reaching over

  • Why does Line 6 create so many new multiproccesors lately? They sound exactly the same, nothing new… I got POD HD 500X and it's great but I hear the same sounds from this Firehawk.. Few months ago they relased Helix. Same sounds, different box.
