Pitch effects (Smart Harmony and Pitch Glide)

Smart Harmony is Line 6’s first intelligent pitch shifter. It’s fast-tracking and easy to use. Harmonize using major, minor, pentatonic, whole tone, and other types of scales. (Don’t worry, you don’t need to know music theory to use Smart Harmony).

Pitch Glide is most effective when used with an FBV MkII foot controller. Use the foot pedal to smoothly shift your tone up or down to any interval within a four-octave range. The effect can be calibrated to semitones, or to 10-cent increments to create cool chorus/detuning effects.

Quick loop

Quick Loop is a 14-second sound-on-sound looper that’s ideal for writing songs, practicing solos, jamming, and even dialing in your tone. Easy to use, Quick Loop’s controls are all on the front panel. Connect an FBV MkII foot controller for handsfree control of the looper functions.

Simultaneous FX

Use up to 8 effects at the same time! Pour on the colors and textures with all 4 Smart FX, set the adjustable Boost and the Noise Gate, activate Quick Loop, and connect an FBV MkII foot controller to kick on the volume/wah pedal. How many other amplifiers can do that?
