the only problem with this amp is, that the sound is too processed, too many effects it dosent cut through when playing gigs, just creates a big wall of sound, and its really hard to get the sound you want because with the overdrive its too harsh and even by cutting down the gain its still a bit to harsh even when youve got an ample amount of it.
All line 6 amps sound like harsh, undefined shit. I have played some very high end stuff through these line 6 POS's, just for kicks, and it still sounded shitty. Even the valve amps sound only marginally better. For the price of the bigger amps you could get a tube amp, which will sound loads better. The effects are obnoxious and useless, the presets were all set by 14 year old shredders, the controls are not user friendly, fuck these in the ass and damn them to hell
You forgot POT mode, Power on the amp while holding the TAP button. This will set the amp into "Power On Test" mode which basically bypasses all of the amps modeling and effects and gives you a medium volume clean tone. This is great if you want to run a distortion or overdrive pedal into the amp without running through the modeling section first.
by saying BANK ONE, does he mean CHANEL 1? so there is 4 chanels on that amp right?

So now I know how to save presets.... my only question is do the settings reset themselves once you shut off the amp?
