HD500 LINE 6

The Line 6 POD HD500 is the latest in a long line of innovations in modelling technology from Line 6. The POD HD500 boasts that it is the closest yet in terms of tonal authenticity to the amps and effects it is modelling. For the modern guitarist - flexibility of tone is important, and the Line 6 POD HD500 is now as close as it has ever been to the perfect compromise between having all the tones you need, and unloading a van full of amps and pedals every time you gig!

The POD HD500 is laid out in an easy to operate manner making it the ultimate tool for controlling your amp model, FX and looping duties during a live show. Everything is right there at the press of a footswitch, and it all sounds better than ever!

Heres what Line 6 say about the POD HD500

POD HD500 represents a giant leap forward for amp modeling. It is the only multi-effect pedal to boast 16 state-of-the-art Line 6 HD amp models, 100+ modern and vintage-styled M-class effects, and a super-comprehensive digital and analog I/O.

Creating these new HD amp models was no small feat. We mixed 15 years of amp modeling experience with 3 years of new research and development to build an entirely new amp modeling technology from the ground up.  During that time, we hunted down 16 incredible amplifiers and - with the help of LAs top tube amp experts - restored each one back to peak condition. The new modeling technology uses 10-times more amplifier information than before, including single-ended class A tube stages, class AB push/pull interactions, power supply behavior, and more. The result is unprecedented, warmth, feel, sustain, and articulation for you to fall in love with.

Tube amp fanatics have long enthused that their favorite stacks and combos arent merely "amps," but instruments themselves, with playability equal to that of the guitar plugged into them. New HD modeling takes the POD HD experience to that same exalted level, capturing the genuine playability that great guitarists demand.
