Brilliant concept, left to break and rot
The AMPLIFi product line fit perfectly into my living room music lifestyle, enriching life with instruments in social settings that would otherwise be limited to passive background music. The physical product sounds great as a Bluetooth speaker, works as a computer recording interface, and makes playing along new and fun. The flexibility and selection of effects shines even when compared to a newer Spark amp. Allowing the community to contribute tones and popularity to dictate easy access is another example of how much fun and practicality this system could have offered.
Sadly this system never worked without crashing or otherwise breaking more than one in 10 times or about ten minutes per hour spent trying. When it was new there were still occasional updates, and I wanted so badly for it to work. I also kept my numerous iPhones/iPads over the years up to date and tried android devices as well. Since we’ve seen that it CAN work, and other Line6 products do work, I was never able to just write this off and stop trying. That’s probably why I’m so bitter that they failed to fix the bugs then stopped trying completely far as I can tell.
Ten years later, I’ve only actually been able to enjoy this for a day a month. I never trusted it enough to bring to a gig or jam session. It’s a perfect example of a real shame.
Line6, feel free to fix mine so I can get back some small percentage of those wasted hours and lost inspiration 😞

Doesn’t work with iPhone 15 anymore
Used to like this thing and the amp, but since upgrading to iPhone 15 Pro, I can only play music through the amp. Can’t get guitar to make a single sound.
Not so good
Alright app but only good if they updated it and made it possible to actually use the amp
Drops Connection
This has a lot of potential but it looks like it was put out and abandoned, which is heart breaking. The amp is great.
The only flaw, which is significant and very common, is that the connection between the amp and the remote app drop all the time!
As a Bluetooth speaker the connection is fine. It’s the app that can’t sustain a connection for some reason. I’ve updated the firmware on the amp and it still drops a lot.
I wish Line 6 would do something about this.

Goodbye line 6
I have spent a small fortune over the years and owned a fair few of line 6 offerings but this is rubbish the app is the worst I have used which is a great pity as the ams a pretty good but to not be able to connect to BT is ridiculous as the amp is useless without it ! .. I’m moving over to spark now as they have it sorted !
Goodbye line 6 👋
