From Our Research Team:

A Whole New Level of Amp Simulation!

Prepare for guitar amplifier modeling like you've never heard it before. The Line 6 POD HD400 features Line 6's best amp modeling yet. This amazing new modeling technology gives the POD HD400's amp models over 10 times the resolution of regular amp modeling - that's enough resolution to accurately model not only the sound of these legendary amps, but also the way the react to your guitar and interact with effects and processors in the signal chain. To put it mildly, this is amp modeling on a whole new level. In all, the POD HD400 gives you 16 incredible amplifier models, including classic tones that range from California clean to vintage American high-gain crunch.



But the POD HD400 isn't just an amp modeler - it's a full-on multi-effect masterpiece that's equally at home onstage as it is in the studio. An arsenal of 90 of Line 6's M-class effects round out the POD HD400's tone engine, providing you with everything from glassy choruses, rich reverb, dazzling delays, and the kind of stompbox distortions that crank up the heat. You also get other invaluable processors, including EQs and compression to polish out your sound. A 24-second looper with easy-access controls and a built-in expression pedal are real gems too. Speaking of easy-access control, the POD HD400's layout is super intuitive too - everything you need to access your favorite tones and combinations of effect lives right at your feet. MIDI via USB, a L6 LINK connection, and balanced XLR outputs also give you a ton of useful performance and recording tools.

Line 6 POD HD400 Amplifier Modeler and Multi-effect System Features at a Glance:
  • All-new amp modeling for amps that feel, behave, and interact with previously unachievable realism
  • 16 HD amp models based on the most sought-after guitar tones including California cleans, classic crunch, vibey boutique warmth, modern high-gain, and more
  • 90 M-class effects including delays, modulations, distortions, compressors, EQs, filters, and reverbs
  • Over 45 distortions, from classic stompbox distortion to thick metal chunk, EQs , and pitch FX
  • Over 30 analog and digital delays (including cool tube and solid-state tape echoes), echoes, wahs, and reverbs (from surfy springs, to studio plates, to cutting-edge digital rooms)
  • Over 15 swirly phasers, filters (including several exclusive custom filters), and other mods (including blackface-style opto and brownface bias-modulating tremolos, choruses, and rotary speakers)
  • Up to 4 simultaneous effects
  • 128 user presets and 256 factory presets
  • 24-second looper with dedicated footswitches for Undo, Play Once, Pre/Post, Rec/Overdub, Play/Stop

Quality gear

Music Background: Hobbyist
Haven't had time to put this through all the paces but I'm very pleased with what I've used so far. Great build quality and it delivers terrific tone. Some of the presets could have been omitted (ca... read more [+]n't imagine a practical use) but some are very tasty. Terrific variety of amp models and FX. The assortment of jacks on the back of the unit fit nearly every possible need and the looper is a very nice add-on. So far I'm a very satisfied customer. close [-]

HD amp modeling is great

Was never much of a Line6 fan until i bought the PodHD400. The podHD400 changed my mind immediately. Found my tone very quickly and it sounded great through a marshall half stack. Great distortion ton... read more [+]es, especially the tube screamer, and great clean tones. Sounds even better through my new line6 DT50 amp. Integration is awesome. Also, a boss ge-7 eq pedal sounds REALLY good paired with this. close [-]

Powerful and Convincing

by Keith from TX USA
March 20, 2011
Music Background: 50 years playing multiple instruments, currently primarily playing guitar in a P&W setting
An amazing number of good to great quality amp/cab models, effects, and other tweaks (pre/post switch, model in-out, different cab-mike emulations, etc.) give this an infinite number of possibilities,... read more [+] and with the editing software, it's relatively easy to configure a couple of banks of patches that will give you a tremendous range of tones without complex or lengthy pedal button antics.

The ability to switch 3 effects in/out, within any patch, makes it suitable for many live situations, and reduce the number of patches you need to create.

I also use it for practice, and the patch editing software is very helpful. Not the best UI in the world, but it gets the job done. Trying to manually fiddle with all the settings is not as precise, and with the software it's easy to make minor changes and switch back and forth to fine tune the sound. Then, you can rearrange for easiest switching during performance.

The manual (PDF download) could be better.

Tech specs are totally absent. Very disappointing. Also, be aware that Line 6 does not support any headphones lower than 150 ohms. Some people have reported problems "normal" impedance phones. (I use an old set of Sony MDR V6's and they are a bit loud, but good quality, IMO.) If you plan to use this for practice, and have typical (~32Ohm) headphones that turn out to not sound good plugged into your POD HD, you will get NO help from Line 6, so be prepared to throw $200+ at phones they recommend. close [-]

Great HD Tones

by Bobby D. from Chicago, IL

Music Background: F/T Pro Musician
Great amp models (16), FX (mods-delays-verbs) with many "tweakable" parameters. Made like a tank, laid out intelligently, and with every back-panel feature you would want for live/studio use. Maybe it... read more [+] was in an effort to be "green" or eco-friendly, but it only comes with a "Pilot's Guide" to understand the basic features. Buyers are invited to print their own 121-page Advanced User's Guide when a decent bound version could have been included in this package. That's the only drawback to this cost-effective alternative to Axe-FX and other rack units. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Matt McKible
Line 6 is truly making strides toward perfect amp modeling. All of their models have been redone from the ground up and sound amazing! They defy the accepted standard and feel, behave, and interact like never before. The POD HD400 features 90+ M-class effects to craft your sound. These give you a wide sonic palette to create and customize your own sound, with the ability to use up to four effects at once. On top of all this, the POD HD400 is built like a tank!

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
