I can't vouch for their amps, but I have a Line6 POD 2.0, and it is by
far the best investment I've made for my guitar sound, period. My main
focus is on recording guitar direct though, and this thing simulates
many different amps, speaker combos, and some basic effects. You could
use it in front of an amp as well, and get a wide variety of tones out
of it.

I sold my old Yamaha amp so I could afford it last year. I do almost
miss having an amp, but with headphones, this thing rocks.

Anyhow, I imagine their amps would sound great too, with a variety of
different sounds in them. I'll probably be trying them out when I'm
ready to get a new amp again. But I liked Fender's Princeton Chorus
the best out of all the amps I've tried thus far.
