Those classics are absolutely spectacular

Perfectly good for live too; plenty of people have run Kemper rigs for years which do essentially the same thing

I'm guessing this is a clearout of the "old logo" ones in preparation for the new ones

Whilst I can't comment to this particular problem, I do appreciate the intense frustration that come with it and welcome your venting. I've had similar issues with Line 6 products and it feels like you've just bought a useless plastic box

Assuming you're ok with video, this one from IvanBassist really helped explain how to use it: Essentially everything is directly translatable except the "all buttons in" mode, unless the Cali76 can do it via other means!

I wanted to have a go at recreating one of my favourite tones - Justin Chancellor's from The Pot - how did I do?

If you haven't found already, it might be worth looking up tutorials on the UA 1176 compressor that the Cali76 is mimicking

If I'd known they were new I would have picked one up!

I saw a couple of these in Andertons on Wednesday - they look really good in the flesh; they remind me of the old Fender USA Deluxe basses

Our response was "go ask the organizer", thinking that she would shoot him down. She just turned and gave us a thumbs up, so we hurridly threw together a chill jazz rendition

Whilst playing with a jazz trio at an office garden party: "Can you do Sex on Fire?"

I'm in love with your synth sound - the guitarist not so much!

It does, it's just not defeatable; I have the VT Deluxe and it's not defeatable on that either!

Key differences for me: DI 2112: * Two parallel channels - so you can do the "driven top end, clean low end" sound, or as I'm currently using it to give a super warm saturated tone with a punchy underneath. * Each preamp has it's own output so you can let the sound engineer combine them as sounds best, or blend the two in the box and send them one output * Sweepable mids * Ridiculous amount of tone shaping potential in a single box VT Bass Deluxe: * Does the Ampeg sound, and does it well * Simple to dial in a good useable sound * Footswitchable If I don't know what I'm playing ahead of time I'll probably take the VT, as I just 'know' the settings to get a great sound, whereas I need more time to tinker to find the sound I want with the DI 2112; I'm sure that will change as I get more familiar with it!

I've just removed a load of stuff from the board, but this is essentially the ampless set-up, with the DI 2112 being interchangeable with a VT Bass DI depending on the gig:

Just bought a DI 2112 from Bill and not only was he quick, he provided a bit of tech support too! Buy with confidence
