I have a Line 2 SE that was fully upgraded by Chris Johnson at PCX about two years ago. The full set of controls of the Line 2 SE were always great, but I had found the sound to be somewhat dry and uninvolving. The PCX mod solved those issues and I was pleased with the return on investment. The preamp was returned with newly made tubes (the old tubes and all other parts (very many) that were replaced were also returned)hat sounded decent, but I wondered what a good tube upgrade would offer.
Unfortunately, other preamps soon turned my head and I have yet to make the change. Maybe this winter. I can't say anything about the Line 3, but the numerous control options and excellent overall quality are very hard to match. I give a thumbs up to the PCX upgrade.
