These guys are on tour with Jon Anderson. Ritchie is a versatile musician. He played bass for BOC. He has been big on youtube for some time and has great patches for the gear.

Yup.

Here John McFee, of Doobie Brothers fame, talks about his rig at 14:09.

He actually uses the Line6 Variax guitar. At 16:35 he talks about the Helix that he uses.

Alright, so here's a "Wizard of Oz curtain-pull back moment" : being how this was the first thing I ever recorded without having an independent interface at that time, I used the Line 6 POD X3 Live and it was ultimately direct recorded. So the amps behind me actually ended up not being a part of the sound due to how it connects to the DAW via a USB input. Everything was from the board.

You hear Ramo on the left side and me on the right side. While not some Mutt Lange-level production, I'd hardly say it was awful sounding. I figured I'd at least show it from MY perspective vs me posting someone else's stuff to prove the point lol

Yup.

All my recordings in the "Name That Riff" thread were made with a Line6 POD X3 Live.

Here's one of them:

I think I answered this one in the challenge! Lol but yeah I mean for a now nearly ancient FX unit ( 16 years, Almost a classic!), it still sounds pretty good really. I mean you can score one now anywhere from $50 to $150 for a unit that was well at $500 new. Bad news for people who bought it new ( myself included!) but a helluva deal for someone needing a great versatile floor unit at next to no cost.

I kinda stripped things down a bit FX wise but I still use this a lot. Eventually if and when it does begin to give out, I'll scan for a more updated processor but until they, hey, it's hanging in lol

I think Line 6 has done phenomenal with what they've brought out and the newer stuff is miles ahead of these even

Tele +Line 6= Slayer?

Line6 can sound OK alone in a room. Each and every time I have been to a gig and heard someone on stage playing one it has been ear rape. Genuinely terrible live tone.

My beef with Teles is not how they sound. I've ownd a few because I like the tone of them. My beef is they are about as comfortable and intuitive to play as a piece of concrete curbing
