The Wii version of Guitar Hero World Tour will not contain Line 6 technology in its music creation tool.

Vicarious Visions have done a fine job with ensuring that the Wii version of Guitar Hero World Tour has all the same features as its HD counterparts. There's online, downloadable content, a music creation tool... but no Line 6 technology.

"The Wii doesn't use Line 6 effects in real time BUT we exported at least 10 different guitars sample sets for the Wii," says Brian Bright, project director of Guitar Hero World Tour. "So there will be many different guitar sounds and I believe all the keyboard and drum kits are on the Wii."

Line 6 manufacture guitar amplifiers and effects processors, and their technology will be used in the PS3 and 360 versions in the music creation tool. Ah well, we have substitutes, and at least the whole mode hasn't been cut out!
