Line 6 LowDown HD400 400-watt Modeling Bass Amplifier Head at a Glance:
  • Amazing amp models
  • Great effects

Amp Models:

Clean
Inspired by the Eden Traveler, this model is all about clean, funk, and fusion bass tone. It’ll give you all the warm lows and punchy highs you need.

R&B
Inspired by a '68 B-15 Flip Top, this model is a tribute to those late '60s and early '70s clean fat bass tones. It's the kind of tone you hear on many Motown recordings.

Rock
This model is inspired by the '74 Ampeg SVT, which has appeared on innumerable recordings and arena stages worldwide. Now, all the tone of the head and 300-lb. behemoth 8x10" cab is available without having to look up a chiropractor.

Brit
Based on a '68 Marshall Super Bass, this model delivers the kind of overdriven bass sounds brought to us by late '60s British rock pioneers like Cream and The Who.

Grind
As the name would suggest, this is for modern rock lovers - Alice in Chains to Mudvayne and Rage Against The Machine. Based on a distorted SansAmp PSA-1 into an SVT with a direct clean bass signal mixed in, this model gives you that angry, clear and punchy aggression that cuts through the mix and takes your sound to DEFCON 1.

Astounding effects onboard
The LowDown HD400 features a host of amazing effects! The studio-quality Compressor is ideal for every bass player and particularly useful for the ones who play with their fingers. An onboard Envelope Filter is based on the Q-Tron envelope filter heard on tons of major funk and rock tunes, while the Octaver effect produces a single note one octave below the note you're playing to add a powerful vibe to your sound. This amp also includes a very transparent, smooth, and expressive Chorus effect that won't reduce your low end. Sitting at the back of the model knob is a secret weapon that turns LowDown into a '70s classic bass synth. From funk to modern rock, this fully adjustable Synth effect delivers incredible tones while tracking every dynamic move you make!

Line 6 LowDown HD400 400-watt Modeling Bass Amplifier Head Features:
  • Five bass amp models: Clean, R&B, Rock, Brit, and Grind
  • Five bass effects: dedicated studio-grade Compressor plus 3 Smart Control effects, including Envelope Filter, Octaver and Chorus, and a fully adjustable bass Synth
  • Deep switch
  • Four programmable channel memories (36 with FBV Shortboard)
  • Chromatic tuner
  • 400 watts
  • Two Neutrik speaker outputs
  • Balanced XLR direct output with exclusive A.I.R. processing (plug straight into a snake or console)
  • 1/4" preamp output
  • Jack for FBV Express or FBV Shortboard

The Line 6 LowDown HD400 packs a roomful of legendary bass rigs into one powerful, rackmountable head!

This amp Kicks BUTT!

by Ray from Northern California, USA

Music Background: Working Pro Musician
WOW! I went to my local big box music store looking for a bass head that had a tube preamp for the warm compression sound I have been searcing for. Instead, I walked out with this killer amp! I never ... read more [+]have given Line 6 much thouhgt before, but when the salesman plugged me into this amp, I knew it had to come home with me. It not only has the warm compression I was looking for, it has so many other sounds. With the FBV expression pedal and all the built in sounds of this amp, I have been able to completly eliminate my pedal chain. I use to run a Pi bass distortion, MicroQ and a Boss Chorus in my old set up. These killer effects are built into the head, plus the bass synth is really cool. My band mates love my new sounds. And all the different amp models are also awesome. Youo NEED this amp! close [-]
