On the characteristics of the pod HD300 the basic principle of the machine is to provide a range of simulated amp and speakers most of the settings on each level of amplification and effects to add.

The pedal comes in the form of a box that looks sturdy (metal casing and solid buttons feet) and a switchable volume pedal and wah wah.

It is a product rather turned to live for musicians who do not have the space they deserve (or small bar scene or small apartment ...)

The idea is to simulate the amps and speakers, it will go on a public address broadcast live neutral plug the mixer.
Symmetrized outputs (2 XLR d / g for stereo effects) are here for.

There is an editor supplied with the pedal to play sounds on his search for mac or pc (USB connection, connection noon on the formula of the HD500)

UTILIZATION

The use of the pedals is relatively simple, at the foot of the buttons to press to change the 4 sounds per bank and 32 banks for a total of 128 sounds to be programmed.

Editing of effects can happen to a Mac or PC once you understand how the program works and the safeguarding

You can not really fully define a sound during a rehearsal or concert.
Change the volume or dose saturation, equalization or reverb used is relatively simple. Change the value of delay or chorus effect is more complicated in the heat of the moment.

You can also 'turn' modeling amplifier and speakers to go the direct effects (flat) and use the pod as a foot of luxury.

SOUND QUALITY

I did the test in the studio (live music) between the simulation pod and hd a Marshall JCM 800. It is clear that the result can not be entirely satisfactory but it's still really close.

The rest of the simulations is, I venture to speculate the same ilk.

A digital tone gives the opportunity to retune between every song.
The chorus is a digital digital chorus and other digital effects have defects of their qualities (cold but effective)
I never used the loop so I will not dwell here on this feature.

The adjustment effects through a step by step graduation and some purists may regret not being able to Backs values.

OVERALL OPINION

I changed the system against the effects BEHRINGER HD300 and I am totally delighted. We do covers of pop rock band and the ability to stick as close to its original, or away from it is perfect, the sound library available online (after registration at the site of Line 6) is breathtaking, and gives a good indication of sound construction for groups.

It is a compact and solid. Relatively light, at least much lighter than a Marshall JCM 800 Vox AC30 + PARK + 75 + a twin reverb and all the necessary effects for small scenes (and a considerable saving in space)

The other guitarist uses a DIGITECH RP500 is a good machine too.

In terms of money that is certainly what is the best currently out Line 6 updates the program from time to time with new amps and new settings.

I have no doubt that there will be better in some time and / or it will not satisfy anyone who needs more effect or seeking a special sound but it is sufficient for all musical applications of live band in small spaces.
