I cannot begin to say what a pleasure this amp is to play. The clean sound is what I play primarily and thus, the 4 star rating. It sounds great clean yet the fiddling around with the menu to get presets that are suitable for jazz and the like take time. No big deal with time issues if you're one well versed with digital menus. For dudes like me (perhaps many) this is a fine piece of workmanship with the built in tuner and all, but I just want to turn on the tube sounding warmth of an old TWIN or VOX and play mellow. Again, if one is inclined, mellow sounds will come out of this superlative amp and I am only thinking of selling mine because I just need less power and less menu stuff.

Like amateur radio, many of the new gear out is menu driven versus simplicity. I am hardly one who does not like to tinker, but when tinkering is all one is doing an playing your instrument takes second seat, there is a slight problem. So, this is based on my ineptitude rather than the amplifier's capabilities and build.

A four out of five is very good given my admission to menu driven gear as a weakness on my part.

You'll love it if you love reading manuals or have much time to tinker. Overall, the amp is superb. PERIOD.

Wowwww it's the only thing I can say, affordable, powerfull ( wattage ), bareable to any place and of course it's versatility it's impressive.......Don't let other comments discourage you, I've been playing guitar over 16 years and the amp talks for itself........the one people that says is not good it's because they can't play.

Great amplifier, takes a while to explore the preset sounds and get the ones you like. Has worked well at gigs even outdoors. Had a problem with damage while shipping, however Amazon resolved the problem quickly. Thanks Amazon.

This amp is defiantly a keeper. wonderful sound out of a solid state amp. i could go on and on about how amazing it is but youll find that out on your own if you get the amp so instead ill start with the cons. there's not a lot but some worth knowing.

first, this amp is pretty hefty. Line 6 couldve given you a bit more then a single handle to haul this thing around. perhaps some handle bars on the left and right side of the amp would be more efficient.

Next, the interface could be a little more user friendly. I figured it out on my own but i can imagine some people would really struggle to grasp how to function it. not a huge deal but still...

Thats about all the cons i can really think of at the moment. I just bought it so ill have to see if it stands the test of time. But i couldnt be happier right now. It even has very accurate built in tuner. Also the song presets are simply a blast. I spent about an hour scrolling through all of them saying things like "hey! johnny b good! i love that song! oh cool gimme shelter by the stones!!" and they all sound very accurate to the studio recordings they are mimicking.

If your looking for an amp thatll cover any live performance just short of a giant professional show involving a crowd of thousands of people then thisll will do the trick. (if your playing for that many people then you can afford a bigger amp anyway.) This amp will drown out a drummer if you get the 120wt version that i have.

In terms of price this just cant be beat either. 120 wts and i got it used for 300$. thats simply an amazing deal with all the awesome gadgets you get with this.

One last note though, I highly recommend getting the footpedal with it. this way you can use the loopinig feature, tuner, and presets without having to stoop down and change the settings by hand. especially the looping feature. in fact there's no way to really use the looping feature without the pedal so go for the footpedal and you'll thank yourself.

Once again... get this amp!

line 6 IV 120 watts is 1 of the best amps i have ever tried ....

im telling you if you wanna jam with your friends you should get it!!!!

I purchased this Karaoke machine specifically because of the iPod docking feature. Once I received it, I found out it is only compatible with iPod Nano 2nd Generation, not the newer iPod Nano (which I will be receiving soon.) Also, the included microphone volume is so low, even when the volume is set the highest it will go, you can barely hear the vocalist over the music. We had to purchase our own better quality microphone to use with it. I would not purchase this again if I had the option.

One of my co-workers bought this for work and it's great. Our clients love to sing and there are plenty of different functions/options. I found the mic to be very loud at it's Max, unlike one other reviewer. The only reason we didn't rate it a five star was because it doesn't have a vocals display on the box...it has to be hooked up to a TV. We have had it for some time and have had no problems.

I love Amazon, have had a prime account for years, and buy tons of stuff from them. I was very excited about this purchase and had it one-day shipped to get here in time to take on our family vacation. As soon as I got it out, I could see right away that it had problems. The microphone top (mesh) was completely off and the cheap foam sheet underneath was ripped. The speakers appeared to have some kind of dust on them. The whole thing looks and feels cheap.

I despise returning things, and so tried to see if it would work assuming I'd just buy a working microphone. The CD player took 3 times of stopping, opening the player, and reinserting the CD to finally play and then stopped and started and skipped. Every time the CD player came on, it would make a chirping noise as it spun the perfectly clean, unscratched, company-supplied CD-G I put in (I tried two different CDs that came with it) before deciding whether to work briefly, with skipping, or not at all. When I plugged it into our TV, the lyrics also stopped and started, pixelated, stopped completely, and so on. I then tried to find an ipod dock adapter to fit my iphone, but there was none. At that point my husband said, "You just have to give up, it's not going to work." I was really sad to realize that he was right, and how disappointed my kids will be tomorrow morning.

Very sleek and stylish, lightweight and portable with great sound and great ipod capability and functionality. It would be nice if it had the capability to eliminate the vocals from the songs as they play on your ipod through the speakers, but all in all I am pleased with the product. A nice conversation piece as well.

I purchased this model for the low cost and manufacturer. Overall a nice piece with the fine tuning a brand new model needs. This is a powerful and light Violin with a couple pieces added on. I think anyone looking to train up or have a decent instrument for the jam might be interested in this.

It will need to be worked on at a local music shop if you don't have the means to fine tune your new instrument.

I had to file out the peg box to allow the pegs full depth. Small holes had to be drilled back on the peg so the string ends would not hit the peg box.You will want to purchase "Peg Drops" to hold the plastic pegs in the fiberglass peg box. I followed some advice on lowering my bridge height, and sanding the bridge feet to contact the pickup perfectly using a flashlight to check for gaps.

After a few hours the chin rest worked itself off the end. The string post applies upward pressure on the chin rest, and the only way I found to hold it still was to:

1.Drill a slanted hole in line with the right side of the chin rest clamp 2. Take a piece of wire and sheath it. 3. place sheathed part of wire against the Violin body and twist the ends together until it held the chin rest in place, and fold out of the way.

In addition to "Peg drops", you will want to buy a new "Rosin", and a "shoulder rest" keeping in mind the area you have to put a shoulder pad on is not very wide with the design. I received 2 rosin cakes completely dried out and worthless. You may want to upgrade your strings, and you will definitely want to make sure they are wound correctly straight to the notch and no overlap.

You will receive:

4/4 Violin

Strings, 1 set

Bridge

Bow

Rosin (dried out?)

9 Volt Battery

Amplifier cord

Headphones

Hard foam case with music pocket

The violin didnt work at all. The chip was sticking into the battarie compartment and when I tryed to take the battarie out the whole back of the violin almost came off. The collor of the violin is varry diffrent from the picture too. I DID get a full refund back though so I'm varry happy about that.

Low rating because when plugging it in the electric part does not work. I have tried everything I can to fix it but still does not work the way it is described. Rosin dried out and popped the E barely tuning it.

Want Barcelona Beginner Series Electric Violin with Carrying Case and Accessories - White Discount?

I don't know how the violin plays yet because i bought this for my girlfriend. It did not come with a hard case but a soft case, the bow is extremely cheaply made. Also like others I got the rosin as hard as a rock. The headphones are junk. They hardly work at all due to a short in the plug. The smallest string snapped as when I tried to put the bridge on even though it had not yet been tensioned but was still very loose. Now as for the quality of the violin itself I can't say yet due to the fact I don't play the violin. I can say that the violin itself is not made very well. Just pay the extra money and get a good one.

I bought this and when I tried to tune it the first time a string broke and the knobs are to stiff. The resin was in broken pieces.

I received this product for Christmas and I was ecstatic to start DJing. After playing around with it for a few days, I truly found out that this new package was not too shabby. It's very durable and easy to use, with the added bonus of an iPod dock, where you can record your mixes straight onto your iPod. Since I'm a beginner, having less knobs and buttons really helped me understand the fundamental concepts of Djing. My only problem is that the CD players don't scratch; they only bend the pitch and search through the song. All in all, if you're Djing for the first time, and you want to get started somewhere, this is definitely the setup to begin with.

I really like the mixer it is awesome to dj from one cd to ipod too another cd then back to ipod etc. I really had so much fun with it. The only thing i dont like about the cd players is that it does'nt show you the bpm of your tracks so you have to use your head and count the beats in the song that you are playing but other than that for a beginner like myself this is perfect!

Buy Beyerdynamic AMS-DT-770-M-80 Closed Headphone for Drummers and Monitoring with Extreme Isolation Ag Now

I recently accidentally (which is actually French for "moronically") wrecked a +10-year-old pair of Sony -V900's. I always liked the -V900's sound, but I was never happy with their external sound isolation, and was annoyed by the constant replacing of the ever-deteriorating ear pieces. So, since I was faced with replacing them, after some research, I went with the DT770M's.

The isolation is indeed fabulous. I can hear virtually nothing of the external world. Audio-wise, however, I don't like these as much as the Sony's. The -V900's just had a more rich tone, where the -770's just sound flat to me.

The Sony's were also more comfortable, but that is probably a compromise for the -770's superior isolation.

I also own a pair of Sennheiser HD590's, but those can only be used in an environment where there is absolutely no external sound. They are great-sounding, though, as good or better than the Sony's.

There are times when I need the absolute isolation, so the -770's are perfect for that. But, I would never recommend them for critical listening enjoyment.

Hello Amazon!

I have had the Beyerdynamic DT 770 M headphones for about 3 months now, and I have had a chance to use them while both drumming and listening to music from my iPod.

Starting off with Build Quality:

The headband is all metal wrapped by black pleather. Cushioning is soft and comfortable, however the material is somewhat thin. Fortunately the pleather wrapping is removable and can be easily replaced. Headphone size is easily adjustable and can fit any size head. Clamping pressure is strong but necessary for isolating noise. One note on size; these headphones are not collapsable, however they fit well in the included zippered carrying case. The cones are attached by strong metal forks extending from the headband and the cones are made of hard plastic. The DT 770 M's are built to last. The cord has ample length and can fit a screwable sound board adapter. An inline volume slider on the cord is a nice touch to allow on-the-fly volume adjustment.

Sound Quality:

This is really the only aspect of the DT 770 M's that I was disappointed about. The mids and treble are there, but the bass is almost non-existant. It is easily understandable why this would be, since there is no cone ventilation to allow the drivers to move. This is not a big issue though, since as a drummer, all you really need to hear is the accompanying band. Too much bass in these headphones would make it difficult to discern what you are playing on the drumset, and what the band is playing. In all reality, I love these headphones for their isolation, not their sound quality.

Isolation:

The real purpose behind Beyerdynamic producing these headphones. Beyerdynamic has done a masterful job in striking a balance in noise isolation that is perfect for a drummer. When drumming, I can easily hear what I am playing, without having to turn up the volume of the surrounding band. It is as if you are wearing the best ear muffs available, and having audio drivers placed in the cones. Perfect for drummers. One note on the ear pads: the pleather gets sweaty very quickly. This is not so bad however, since the sweat actually makes the pads seal to your head, providing even more isolation. It sounds gross, but it actually works.

Verdict:

These headphones are meant for drummers, not for daily music entertainment. You would be horribly dissatisfied listening to these through an iPod for casual listening. Think of the sound through this example: Mids and treble to be like the Audio Technica ATH-M50's, with little bass. If you are a drummer, you should not waste your money on any other headphone. These will make you happy for what they were designed to do; isolate sound and provide additional band audio. They are worth the $200.

Summary: Beyerdynamic DT 770 M Headphones

Pros:

Isolation is Just Right for Drummers

Tank Build Quality

Handy In-line Volume Slider

Comfort

Cord Length (long)

Mids and Treble

Carrying Case

Cons:

Overall Sound Quality

Bass

Recommendation: For Drummers only. Not for daily music listening.

Thanks for reading my review!

Want Beyerdynamic AMS-DT-770-M-80 Closed Headphone for Drummers and Monitoring with Extreme Isolation Ag Discount?

I have these and the standard DT-770 headphones. I wanted the M because they offer more isolation from the house sound when DJing. I wish they isolated even a little more. They also have some nasty resonance frequencies...probably because they are so symmetrical. The volume adjustment is nice.

These headphones are great. They have very sturdy design, which makes you think they will last as long as a $200+ pair of headphones should. They are a bit tight, so it takes a while to get used to them, but once you get them on and cut out the outside noise you stop caring. I brought these on a long trip for the plane and they worked great in severely reducing ambient "plane noise." The sound quality is pretty good, I have a pair of open back Sennheisers that blow these out of the water, but everything but the LOWS sound great. The low lows are not particularly clear and there isn't a substantial amount of bass in general, which you would expect from closed back sealed headphones. This is sort of a relief though, many new headphones are focusing on getting you as much bass as possible, these seem to be a bit more balanced and less focused on BASS.

I thought the volume slider was useless when I bought them, but I have found myself using it more and more in sessions, so it is a great addition. The cord is very long so its a bit unruly for general use, but for tracking it is great. The case is awesome, though it doesn't have a space for the adaptor, I just made a slit in the foam and shove it in there now for safe keeping.

This is a good amp for the price, I picked it ip at my local shop for $83. The other reviewers as well as me agree the amp is good for a beginner or practice amp. My P Bass Special sounds pretty good through it with both the split and jazz pickup. I am a novice bass player and I notice the treble adjustment is a bit picky and can get buzzy, but that is to be expected with this type amp.

I have used a wah pedal with the amp and it sounds very good with the bass EQ at 3/4 and the MID EQ slightly past half way. I have played some basic funk and jazz through it and so far so good. The amp is loud enough for bedroom and apartment use and will not let you down as most Fender products never do. I compared this to a Hartke and Behringer amps at this low price point and liked the Rumble the best. The shop guy suggested it also as he said it had the best speaker quality of the bunch. I will continue to experiment with pedals and effects with the amp until I am good enough with the bass to buy a more serious amp and keep this one for practice.

I plugged in my Epiphone Les Paul into the amp and it sounded okay after some configuring with the EQ's. I put this amp next to the little Fender Frontman 10G I use for practice and use it heavily.

Thing thing isn't meant to be used for live gigs -it's a practice amp and nothing more. When you don't want to drag around your giant cabinets or high-end gear, it works perfect. It's loud enough to bother the neighbors in an apartment or condo, and so far it's performing great.

As others have mentioned, you can run a 1/8" -> RCA cable and plug in an iPod / iPhone / whatever and play along with it. As a note, the 'volume' control when running a line in only impacts your bass volume. The volume on your media player is the only way to adjust the music volume. That being said, it works decent as an over-sized iPod speaker, though the tone is a big weak on the treble-side, which is to be expected.

It is more than expected for the size. Son hasn't had volume up more than half, definitely puts out the sound and good quality. Also, even after shipping it was still cheaper than local music store which I think is a plus too.

I bought two of these to add some flexibility to my modest home studio. My studio centers around an Alexis Multimix 8 USB mixer, and I wanted to be able to do some extra I/O via the mulitimix's two track RCA inputs. In specific, I wanted to attach a digital multitrack recorder, and have the ability to do overdubs (hence the I/O necessity) These accomplish that, but they are really short. That means that the recorder is at an odd angle, and can't actually sit flat next to the mixer. Not the end of the world, but not ideal. I wanted to keep my cable runs as short as possible, but this is just an inch or two too short to be perfectly functional. The problem is that the next shortest cable length that I could find on Amazon for this kind of adapter is 25", which is too long for my needs (I'd have coils of cable to deal with). I wish this product came in an 8" and/or 10" version. Then it would be perfect.

I have a Philips LCD TV with only a phono/RCA combined video and audio output for audio, so while staying at my parents, helping my dad through his final days, I bought a FiiO signal decoder to extract the audio and a Behringer headphone distribution amplifier so I could listen to movies and sports with full impact, but also without disturbing them, through my headphones. The decoder output is a female RCA pair while the headphone amp input is 1/4 inch stereo plug, with the distance between hem being negligible so this adapter provided a perfect, short, single connection solution. It remains in use now that dad has departed & I'm back in my own home, still sending the audio output from the TV, though now to a 2.1 audio system that provides me with the THUMP, POW, CRASH of being in a stadium or theater that TV speakers have never allowed. I'd first set up the headphone system using multiple adapters, but then watched for a good price on this all-in-one solution. The merchant provided that, a quality product and prompt delivery. A+
