Great when paired with Helix, wish it had the Line 6 Link
This is a nice-sounding 1x12 Combo Amp that works well when paired with my Line 6 Helix. It has a convenient feature where it tips up if you prefer that, and volume is pretty good. In FRFR mode, it seems to sound the same at low volume or high volume, although that's only by ear rather than a scientific test. I haven't used the speaker modeling all that much yet as it's slightly inconvenient to change and see what it's on, but if you're fine with keeping it on a single one most of the time, they all sound nice and add a little extra on top of what the Helix can do.
The one complaint I have is that I wish it had the Line 6 link like the Plus model so that the Helix could control it. I don't need the digital display or the other features of the Plus model, but if the Helix could switch speaker models on it that would have been a huge bonus. I suppose it makes sense that you need the Plus for that, but still. If this is important for you, get the Plus model - it costs a bit more but it's got the same sounds so my review largely applies.
That aside, in summary this is a great amp and pairs really well with the Helix, and FRFR seems to actually be pretty flat across the board. The speaker modeling is fun to play with and adds a little extra on top of everything which might just be the last piece you need for the tone you want. I debated knocking a star off for lack of Line 6 link, but it's not really the amp's fault and if you need that you (I) should just pony up the extra money for the Plus model.

Flat mode pairs perfectly with the Line 6 floor modeller
Seriously, perfect combo. Just get it. I haven't even fucked around with any of the other onboard amp/cab modes because I'm so into the modeling of the Helix through the flat mode.

Finally! Started work on my first release for this year. The #guitar parts completely constructed by not one, but two @eventideaudio #h9 as they so damn good! @oldbloodnoise #blender (what a godsend) is parallel mixing the shimmer via the @amtelectronics vol pedal on the floor. The 84’ #lespaul Custom is winning at the mo 😊 through my two new @official_line6 112 #powercab plus. it’s a one take performance with just a combo of #diatonic #pitchshift and #shimmer.
