Modeled Amps & Cabs • Line 6’s Original Modelsfinicky singer/songwriters who don’t want anything getting in the way of their preciousguitar or dainty piano!L6 DoppelgangerLoosely based on a Fender Twin, this original Line 6 creation gives up the low end witha nice, friendly rattle in the high mid’s. To enhance the Doppelganger and its uniquesonic character, choose a speaker cabinet of the open back variety.5 • 18Sub DubThis fabulous tone was brought to us by Justin Meldal-Johnsen currently in his ownband “Ima Robot”, who’s also played bass with Beck, Tori Amos, Air, Macy Gray andother luminaries.
