There are plenty of reviews of this wonderful little amp out there, but I haven't heard a demo featuring the (mono) line out. So -- here you go! I've jacked this into my Apogee Element without any EQ -- so this is what it'd sound like running to the board. Sorry to clip it out a few times -- that was on my end because the monitoring via Quicktime is kinda lousy.

For reference, the Esquire-ish partscaster has a '57 DeArmond pickup in front of the bridge (mid position) which is the darker sound and a standard Alnico-mag Tele bridge pickup. I didn't engage the bright mode on the amp at all, but it is useful for getting a little more zip from humbucker-equipped guitars.

Edit Nov '18: Three months into this amp and still enjoying it both for live use (DI to the mixer) and recording. I leave it in our shop as the "demo amp" and it always makes whatever's jacked into it sound great. I will note that if you want to get a more traditional guitar-amp clean voice, the mids have to be jacked about 3/4 of the way "up" (with the knob pointing to the right). Bass can be tailored to taste, but for chunking chords I like it turned up a bit off 12 o'clock, too. If you do that and engage the bright switch, you're in more of a Fender-y clean territory. Disengage the bright switch and it then nails a clean, vintage jazz vibe with those settings.
