LINE 6 MOD PRO

code: GTR.LIN.025.MOD.RCK

The Modulation Modeller effects include algorithms modelled after the characteristics of the Fender Deluxe Opto Tremolo, the Vox 'bias' tremolo, numerous phasers and flangers (mimicking pedals by the likes of MXR, Mutron and Ibanez), the Uni-Vibe (made famous by Jimi Hendrix) and, of course, rotary speakers with user-tweakable drive, horn depth and drum depth. The Choruses include emulations of the Boss CE1 and the Roland Dimension D, then there's vibrato, ring modulation and auto-panning. As always, Line 6 acknowledge the owners of any trademarks and emphasise that the use of these names does not imply any connection between the companies or any endorsement by those companies.

Tonally, the Modulation Modeller manages to be authentic sounding in most instances, especially the modulated delay pedal effects, and despite the simplicity of the controls there's a great deal of flexibility. There's also the option of controlling parameters via MIDI or of locking some modulation rates to MIDI Clock, but you can have so much fun treating the unit like a rackmount stomp box that I guess a lot of people will never take it further than that. The Leslie effect, while not entirely authentic, is better than you get in most effect units and the Roland Dimension D emulation (the original unit cost much more than this entire effects box) includes the panel switch options of the original and retains the same tonal subtlety.
