Line 6 Now Shipping Firehawk FX – Wireless Multi-Effect Guitar Processor
If a wire is good, then wireless must be better.
That’s been the prevailing fact in all the other tech we touch, so why shouldn’t it apply to our guitar (and synth) effects? Line 6 agrees wholeheartedly, hence the announcement that Firehawk FX is now available.
We first saw Firehawk at NAMM in January, and were impressed. As Line 6 puts it, the big unit is “a powerful new multi-effect guitar processor that combines world-class tone with intuitive wireless editing, so guitarists can get the perfect sound faster than ever before.”
There is also a free Firehawk Remote app for iOS and Android, which allows guitarists/producers/engineers the ability to design their tones while standing up in dignified fashion. Over 200 amps and effects—plus a huge online tone library—streamline finding the optimal sound for a recording session, rehearsal, or live show.
Firehawk FX is available now for $629.99 MSRP. Visit here for more info on this hot bird, plus and a full list of compatible devices. Now, here’s more info direct from Line 6:
Firehawk FX is packed with a best-of collection of 250 amps and effects, including 50 HD models, giving guitarists powerful flexibility to create their own sound, or reproduce the tones of any recording. From warm vintage classics to high-gain powerhouses, models of the world’s best amps are included. Firehawk FX is also loaded with inspiring effects, including must-have stompboxes, rare studio effects, and stunning Line 6 originals.
The free Firehawk Remote app for iOS and Android makes it easier than ever to create the perfect tone. Guitarists can craft elaborate signal chains, fine-tune hundreds of tone parameters, and connect with a massive online community of guitarists—all from their phone or tablet. The Line 6 cloud contains a vast library of tones covering dozens of genres and thousands of popular songs. Firehawk Remote lets guitarists create, save and recall an unlimited number of presets, so they can always access the tones they need.
Featuring 1/4” and Variax Digital (VDI) inputs, XLR and 1/4” outputs, stereo FX loop, USB connectivity and ultra-low latency, Firehawk FX is an ideal guitar recording interface for PC, Mac and iOS. Guitarists can quickly dial up the tones used on thousands of hit records, and record with hundreds of studio-quality amps and effects.
On stage, Firehawk FX combines powerful tone with a streamlined design that offers easy access to essential functions. Five footswitches with color-coded LED rings make it easy to change tones and switch effects on the fly. And the tour-ready construction is more than capable of withstanding the punishment of the road.
