Inject Amazing Amps Directly into Your Desktop Rig!

When you plug into Line 6's amazing POD HD, you get instant access to a full set of Line 6's best amp modeling yet. Line 6's amazing new modeling technology gives the POD HD's 16 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. From California clean to vintage American high-gain crunch, the POD HD has all the sounds you know, love, and want.

The amp models onboard the POD HD definitely make it well worth its great price, but Line 6 didn't stop there. They equipped this amazing processor with over 100 absolutely stunning effects, including delays, modulation effects, distortions, compressors, EQs, filters, and reverbs. You even get a built-in tuner! There are also over 500 preset locations that let you write and store your own favorites. The POD HD makes an excellent recording tool too; it has 1/4" and XLR inputs, stereo balanced outputs, S/PDIF, and a USB 2.0 connection. Its a perfect (and perfectly sized) companion for your desktop or mobile DAW.

Line 6 POD HD Guitar Amp Emulator and Effects Processor Features:
  • 16 Line 6 HD amp models (California cleans, classic crunch, vibey boutique warmth, modern high-gain, and more)
  • 19 delays (including cool tube and solid-state tape echoes)
  • 23 modulations (including both blackface-style opto and brownface bias-modulating tremolo, phasers, choruses, and pitch effects)
  • 17 distortions (from classic stompbox distortion to vintage fuzz to thick metal chunk)
  • 12 compressors and EQs (including stomp compressors and studio tube compression)
  • 26 filters (including wahs and several exclusive custom filters)
  • 12 reverbs (from surf-friendly springs to studio plates to cutting-edge digital room sounds)
  • 512 user-write-able preset locations
  • Built-in tuner with signal mute
  • 1/4" input, XLR input, stereo balanced outs, headphone out, USB 2.0, S/PDIF, and FBV expression pedal control

Wow, awesome tones!

by Mike D from Phoenix, AZ

Music Background: Hobbyist
Got this about a month ago, and am totally blown away by the tones I can get. My buddy has an Axe-FX and have been drooling over the crazy tones he can get out of it. But, I'm not in the same financ... read more [+]ial ballpark as him, so Axe-FX is out of my price range. I went and tried out all sorts of stuff before I found POD HD line of products. I was originally going to purchase Guitar Rig 5, but then I tried out POD HD 500 pedal board and was blown away by the tones. But I run a desktop rig and I didn't like the idea of reaching for the floor every time I wanted to change a setting. Now POD HD desktop was the answer. I get ridiculously awesome tones from awesome expensive amps, hundreds of effects, and overall a great experience using this product. I can't recommend this enough. Even my buddy with the Axe-FX was impressed by the sounds I could get. That alone was worth the price of admission. Highly recommended. close [-]

I got this as a birthday gift from my lady. I actually had the page marked in the Sweetwater catalog and was planning (takes me a while sometimes) on adding this to my set-up when it came in the mail... read more [+]. Talk about a good woman! The POD HD is perfect for me as a music hobbyist as I thoroughly enjoy using and modifying the established tones and effects, and exploring and creating new ones. The features are easy to understand and use and am extremely pleased in this product. close [-]

I purchased the Line 6 POD HD for my boyfriend for his birthday. Not only was very surprised but he was absolutely thrilled as well!!! I personally didn't know what it was capable of or really what it... read more [+] did....but he uses it every evening when playing his guitar and constantly praises me for buying it. I think it even impressed his friends that he jams with....I noticed some high fiving and fist bumping going on! All kidding aside....after researching this product online I did find that Sweetwater offered the best price and I am very pleased with the customer support I received when ordering it. They even called to follow up! close [-]

Better than plugins, great for recording or live.

I use Pro Tools 9 and own lots of various virtual amp plugins and such and while they are nice to have, most have a colder sound (Except for Studio Devil) . I really like the sound of the HD Desktop ... read more [+]Pod but most of the presets aren't serious rocker sounds. There are some cool odd stuff like organ and other gimicky things but I think the presets should have been geared more to various rock, metal and classic rock sounds. This has the sound, just use the HD Edit software to form your own or load sounds created by others. Line6 monkey is the software that helps keep you updated on firmware and software from line6.com. Be sure to update your firmware for the newest features and functionality. Its very nice to have in the studio and I'm enjoying this nice metal cased black bean. close [-]

A definite improvement

by 5150 from St. Louis, MO

Music Background: Home recording
The pod hd is a giant step forward from my previous pod (the pod xt). The amps definitely take on more of a realistic character and react like a real tube amp compared to older pods. The clean amps ... read more [+]especially sound great as well as the effects. I also think the dual rectifier model sounds realy good. In my opinion, modelling has taken a giant step forward but I still prefer a real tube amp. I think this will be a usefull tool for some home recording and practicing at night.

My main gripe with the pod hd is the lack of processing power. If you are running 2 amp models you can eat up processing power very quickly. Sometimes you can only add 1 or 2 effects before it runs out of power.

Overall this is a great product that will easily replace my older pod. close [-]
