  • @aizuchi @kevingamin @alice I mean, the amps are still a little limited by their budget. It costs money to make high quality physical stuff, like a speaker. But, even that's gotten better over the years, and their current and previous generations sound quite good.

    Another element is a whole generation of players started on a Line 6 back when they weren't so great, so they feel like they have to "graduate" to more expensive stuff. But, it wouldn't pain me to gig a Line 6 Spider or a Catalyst.

  • @aizuchi @kevingamin @alice a bunch of reasons. It's always been a value brand rather than a boutique brand...there was a time when "low cost" and "quality" didn't really fit together in a digital multi-effect unit. The early POD and Spider models sounded pretty cheesy. But, compute keeps getting cheaper, so they can cram really powerful DSP into cheap devices now, and they've gotten better at the software and modeling side in the 30 years they've been doing it (again, they were very early).

  • @swelljoe @kevingamin @alice why no respect? I mean, i understand that guitar heads have Opinions (tm)

  • @kevingamin @alice and, because Line6 gets no respect in the used market, you can pick up older models for dirt cheap, and they've been quite good for at least a few generations and ~10 years or more. They were very early to the modeling and multi-effects thing, so they've had plenty of practice.

  • @kevingamin @alice Line6 is lowkey goated when having too many sounds in a tiny affordable package is the vibe.

    I've got one of their amps in the living room for noodling (the real tube amps are in a room devoted to guitars) and I can't say a bad word about it. I also have a POD Go for the pedal board when I want some sound I don't have a specific pedal for, as it can also do everything*.

    They also make cheap and cheerful stuff like this (again, does everything*): https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PODExpGuitar--line-6-pod-express-guitar

  • @swelljoe @alice I need to check her equipment. Birthday’s in March, so I’m always good for inspiration.

  • @kevingamin @alice it's a controller for the onboard effects in some Line6 amps. So, it doesn't do anything on its own, but with an amp to match, it can do everything*.

    *-By some definition of "everything", but it does a lot. They cram a ton of effects and models into their amps.

  • @alice What does it do and, more importantly, does my wife, who plays electric violin, need it?

    TULIP: The Ultimate Intelligent Peripheral for the HP-41 Handheld Calculator[Andrew Menadue] wrote in to let us know about the TULIP-DevBoard and TULIP-Module being developed on GitHub.TULIP is short for “The Ultimate Intelligent Peripheral” and it’s an everything expansion board for the HP-41 line of handheld calculators sold by HP from 1979 to 1990. These particular calculators support Reverse Polish notation which seems to be one of those things, like the Dvorak keyboard, where once you get used to it you can never go back.In doing the research for this article we came across the fan site hpcalc.org which has been online since 1997, although the Way Back Machine can only go back to late 1998. Still, we were impressed. It’s fun that the site still looks very much like it did 28 years ago!The TULIP4041 is based around the RP2350 microcontroller which you might know as the heart of a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 board. The video below the break is a talk about the present and future of the TULIP project, and the slides are here: TULIP4041 – The Next Chapter.pdf (PDF).Thanks to [Andrew] for writing in. If you’re interested in hacking the HP-41 check out HP-41C, The Forth Edition and Nonpareil RPN HP-41 Calculator Build.youtube.com/embed/4R3ebXHAJd4?…hackaday.com/2025/12/30/tulip-…

    This is impossibly cute. I'm spooning the dog on the couch, and he reaches out to hold my arm with his paw. #DogsOfMastodon
