Description of the Moon model “The Moon model is based on a 1974, silver knob Sunn Model T amplifier. This is the early version with the more traditional tone stack. Though it has been repaired over the years, the circuit has every component at stock value. This specific unit has been well used, well maintained, and regularly enveloped in fog. “This amp circuit can best be described as a Fender Tweed Bassman/Marshall JTM45 preamp mated with a very high volume, very flat, ultralinear power amp that uses 6550 tubes. The result of this configuration is a tone with a raw growl that really has a strong punch to the gut. In addition, this configuration takes pedals very well; adding a distortion or booster can turn the amp into a high gain, doom machine.” —Ben Adrian, Sound Design Manager | |

Can Line 6 please add more Bass amps from different brands, such as Trace Elliot, Warwick WA 600, and Hartke please. That would be awesome! Thanks.
Thanks for your comment.
I think there will come more Bass stuff in future. Please post it on Ideascale. The more people vote your Ideas the more likley is that they will model it.

Classic 1958 Fender® 5C3 Tweed Deluxe? A 5C3 would be 1954 and earlier. By 1958, they were all the highly desirable 5E3 narrow panel Deluxes that the Grammatico La Grange was based one.
Thanks for your comment. I was thinking that it would be a 1953 too but official realease note from Line 6 says it’s 1958:
https://line6.com/support/page/kb/effects-controllers/helix/helixhx-280-release-notes-r913/
I found another place where Line 6 indicated that 1958 is a typo…the 5C3 modeled was a 1953, not 1958.
Link?

But I don’t know who the referenced DI and Ben are, but they mentioned facebook. I couldn’t find a facebook post about this.
I corrected the list and will update the pdf-file when I’m at home. Thanks for pointing this out.
Found the statement from Ben on Facebook:

any tips for Eric captions amp tone ? where would I start ?
hes twinluxe amp tone.
Hi Erik,
it depends which sound you’re after. A good start would be to look which equipment he used on the song you like to play. Here’s a good starting point:

Do any of your models include acoustic amp models. Many of us play acoustic with this as well and need an acoustic amp
Hi Dino,
there’s no acoustic amp model right now. Many of us use the “Studio TubePre” model. It works great for acoustic patches.
Is there a list like this for the Spider V series?
Hi,
Unfortunately, I do not own a Line 6 Spider amp. Therefore, I do not have such a list on this website. Sorry
