Get to know them!

What do you get when you combine over a decade and a half of effects-creation experience and three years of cutting-edge amp-modeling research, plus 27 incredible guitar amplifiers and over 100 modern and vintage guitar effects? You get the incredible Line 6 POD HD500! This amazing guitar amp simulator and multi-effects processor is in a class by itself. By combining breakthrough modeling methods (10 times as accurate as previous technology) with some of the best amps in history, the POD HD500 delivers not only the sound but also the feel, behavior, and dynamic interaction of these great amps.

Besides having a wide selection of tones with authentic character and articulation, the POD HD500 is easy to program, set up, and use. A full set of presets (almost limitless via the included editor/librarian program) gives you a clear idea of what the POD HD500 can do, and you can store tones in its 512 user-preset storage locations. When you're ready to define your own sound, don't hold back; there's no limit to the tones you can create with your POD HD500! It's also built to take a beating too. A bent sheet-metal chassis, metal footswitches, and a rugged expression pedal all keep your POD HD500 running night after night. And you'll love the POD HD500 in the studio too, where its digital outputs allow it to integrate right into your recording rig.
