All user reviews for the Line 6 POD HD500

they removed the buttons (plus reverb knob on the front panel), going from 78 amps (pod x3 live) to 16, they pulled bass amps, fewer firms, more true dual tone .... and it takes monitor not to over use effects if the chipset you lâche.pourquoi did not they put a powerful enough processor to calculate the whole? frankly seen the price of procs ....
on the other hand they thought inflate the price
and according to tests fanziniens unlike his is not obvious!
the only thing not clear is if one can combine several pedals (stomp)
which would be positive for the other models can not ....
I understand that those who have already purchased the resell ...

I expect good X4 HD500 with 78 simulated HD Dual tone and as many effects as you want in any order, and bass amps

I will not repeat what others have said. I especially wanted to comment on this product compared to the previous version, including the Pod X3 Live.

Cons:
1) does not offer the ability to record the DI signal (dry).
2) do not charge your HP external simulations.
2) does not have two separate signal channels.
3) refuse to load some configurations due to lack of resources (HD500X partially fixed this).
4) there is only one metal handle, so not very convenient to lift it.
5) switch buttons are not strong enough (the HD500X fixed this)

UTILIZATION

For editing it is much easier to use the software interface on your computer.

SOUND QUALITY

One can find (almost) sound that is sought to be provided to put time and effort in programming. It should also be connected to a suitable amplification, ideally it should be the FRFR or possibly amp Line 6 DT match.

The weakness of this effect is its simulation of HP POD HD and unfortunately fails to load others from external support.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than a year, I used to have a Pod X3 Live. In short it is a tool at a reasonable price and very convenient to I find the live. on the other hand studio, it is much easier to use plugins amp simulations or method of REAMP with a DI signal, because it allows more flexibility and generally provides more easily sounds you looking for.

Some pretty convincing effects used in analog with a tube amp, the effects seem quite synthetic, use the pedal is very complex.

UTILIZATION

Extremely complex configuration, editing ditto sounds, this pedal is for musicos who have the time and inclination to spend hours and days to develop a sound!
Manual well.

SOUND QUALITY

Some effects out their game, compressor, reverb, especially modulation by against the distortion and other are too aggressive, it's just my opinion!

OVERALL OPINION

Used almost exclusively in the studio, where the sound is above the scene.
The price is too high for this Pod, which can not, for me, compete with a pedalboard to which I returned.
For that, I made a cross on the style pedal!

Everything has already been said!
Pedal FULLY configurable.

With POD edit, you can control, effects, amps, as well as the surface of the bracket:
you can call a button to one or more effects, also the expression pedal that can be called on any button of any effect.
(I do not use it, but who wants to, it can really be awesome).
You can also have a pre-amp in the loop that will be piloted for the little it is noon.

UTILIZATION

I Pod for 1 year and a half - I did a lot of different configurations, and it is quite difficult to get something right now.

I used the headphones and a sound system, but it was not enough to edit something really correct.
Today, I turned to a pair of Adam A5x + 22VSL a presonus, which allows me to edit something more serious and I arrive at least grind the amp simulations.

The manual ... I have open at one time or another, but ... once you're on the PC, you can configure everything just enough.

SOUND QUALITY

Guitar:
I play on a RAN 7 strings, I was a bit mixed on the sound, but I realized that it is because microphones too straight (EMG 81 and 85 require) - change to predict.
When you leave a guitar with more singing microphones, it will alone, really good pedal.
I also bought a VOX ToneLab ST - To have stood there a few days ago, I found much richer dynamics (? Presence lamp) on the other hand, although it is immediately a good sound ... I fucking shit myself!

Short! All amps are not magical with all guitars, but you can always find a good sound.
Fender are quite interresting for clean, the same way as the Hiwatt and Soldano.
The Crunches are not bad either.
The only "catch" remains for distortion - Notice to fans of Marshall JCM800 - take solo overdrive that provides more gain and a better control programming channel.

Low:
Not so satisfied.
I have a 4 and 1 June rope.
I am actually quite pleased with Ampeg, so that the drive not spin too: 15/20% after it goes into a really usable overdrive. They could not have put us SVT??

The Reverb and Delay are pretty good, some distos to troubleshoot and many other effects for guitar fans ways or pink floyd dream theater.

OVERALL OPINION

So yes, it certainly is not a FX axis, but it's good, it's 5x cheaper and is in almost all music stores.
For someone who wants to spend time to shape the sound is nikel, for others, you take a preamp or analog pedal simpler beast.

It is a tool that is made to be plugged into a PA or monitoring system, so do not plug it into a skyscraper amp for the preamp can there not be deactivated.

Goodies:
The versatility of effects, settings of all kinds, routings,
The effects are not bad
A satisfactory number of amp to find just about happiness.

Cons:
Too many pedals kill the pedals,
Not enough amps and still some gaps in the simulation,
One loop effect, it would benefit so we can have a genuine Swiss Army knife.
Bass amps not at all convincing and too little: Ampeg and Fender Studio ...

The product is not perfect, but it is not the most ridiculous compete.
However, it should well take your time and have something to make it sound very neutral to configure everything well.
So I put him a score of 8 - I hope that the successor of HD and HD-X will give me full satisafaction.

SOUND QUALITY

OVERALL OPINION

too expensive for what that is!
+ Is better to have a real and less likely to have quality or sometimes both
Live it's pretty rough and ill-defined, the headphone is filthy, home studio, as pod room, why not but less than 150 Euros

UTILIZATION

The configuration is ... how to say ... A "gas factory" ... yes ... This reflects the major problem of this kind of product any brand. Wanting to do everything, it comes to something necessarily complex to master the key with a certain learning time. In short, if you like simple things go your way or go to your doctor to prescribe you anti-depressants!
Fortunately it is possible to go through the PC editor "POD HD500 Edit" making things "intuitive and easier" without necessarily having to read the manual which is also well done. But hey, if you want to make a new "PRESET" PC-I wish you a lot of courage ... and rehearsal or concert unless you have a PC next to you, if you want a little play anyway you touch the pedal potentiometers to refine over the place and other musicians settings distortion volume and tone ... better to create a new "SOUND" quietly at home ... Finally there who have tried and have had problems


SOUND QUALITY

After 2 years of use, I can say that for the part because there are too many things, which sometimes have minor differences and finally we hesitate about choosing a type of distortion, chorus, whawha of flanger ... Otherwise for the simulation, I think this pedal defends well and can be placed where you want the effect as you want in series parallel. It is a kind of laboratory trials must admit more solutions inaudible qu'exploitables ... better not to think outside the box!
Otherwise side amp simulation, a Marshall actually does not sound like a Fender or Mesa Boogie as a! To say they sound like the originals and well I'd simply being "nice" that the pedal does what he can.
In the end, of course, that this machine can not do, 500 € not expect a miracle not more! But you will find still sounds very good and very well. And the best way to have a clear idea on the part of the simulation models of this device is to listen directly:
In summary:
* For clean sounds, sounds damned good here and the settings can be sure to get a clear and according to eventually cruncher with emphasis on strings and / or using a dual microphone ... POD reacts to attack like a real amp.
* For crunch tones, we find the color and to a certain extent how to play on a tube amp with bass and lower midrange quite round ... No, this is not true, to be convinced it's best to play a riff to AC / DC
* For overdriven sounds, although well below a real tube amp worthy of the name, there is dynamics, sustain, a bit of warmth and harmonics. Short enough to cover all styles ...
For me, the main problem with this amp simulation is that whatever the amp used crunch or saturation grain is always the same! How to model for me to review ...


OVERALL OPINION

In conclusion, for € 500 this pedal is convincing but do not expect an efficient modeling amps ... I expect Line6 finally passes the convolution in the same price range: is it going to be the next (r) evolution??? I hope so ...
+ Crank sober and solid
+ Good sound in the sounds clear and Crunches
Saturation + for all styles of music
- Modeling amp unrealistic
- No ON / OFF switch
- Too effect and some similar
- Switching expression pedal hard

Config and editing sounds very simple via the HD edict
very easy to use it is a treat, not against by the software,
I prefer not to think about it.
and everything is programmed need to touch the volume settings from the pod

I love the fact that it is under the feet have the opportunity to direct four pedals (comp, overdrive, modulation fx, delay ...) + the volume and wha!
And still below 4 switches to wander through the presets!
Indeed, there is nothing better!

Nothing to say about the effects everything is well thought of is upscale and beautiful reverbs and delay are
The loop 45 seconds is very nice just need to understand the functioning and it rolls after you can without

I use a lot of sounds and effects, I like when the sound is clean and not too busy and the result is stunning!
on the other hand do not use the factory presets but must spend time on the machine and presets from vacuum is the best means
So you'll understand a little time provide early
this machine mla demand management!
but what a joy to be able to operate directly on any preset compression, delay, a TS9 to boost a JCM 800 or a soldano for solo ...
can load 8 effect blocks EFIN and feels free to do whatever you want in these three overdrive 8 blocks, no limits!

In terms of style I play pure blues to albert king through the gary moore from hendrix, sometimes metal and also jazz!
A very good versatility

UTILIZATION

sounds are very clean and clear, the guitar fit perfectly into the mix and the bass is always delicious.
This is done to plug into a PA or speaker monitoring.
behind the connector is really complete

-In the studio I use on monitor speakers M-Audio BX8 D2 and it suits me perfectly.
The USB is used for recording because it also acts as a sound card
(In cubase sx3 for me and it was perfect)
In-concert live on the sound, and it is a treat
(Especially if it is a high quality sound)

SOUND QUALITY

I tried most simus market boss GT100 in eleven rack!
and it is this one that I prefer for realism and clarity to line 6 really an incredible effort from the beginning of the simulation
on the other hand I've ever tried fractals.

OVERALL OPINION

So you understand I'm satisfied, it is a surprising machine then
spend some time on it and lots of doors will open!

Y has it all!! Hd and sounds are terrible, incredible stereo ... The connection is complete for stage, studio, home ... We do what we want with it!

UTILIZATION

Be more than on fiddling xt live, the more difficult is the initial calibration, must show the hd that all buttons are ok ... After this step ... Let's go! We go in line 6 with simplicity and usability!

SOUND QUALITY

Perfect again, the individual may find his account. It may suffice to play on stage with a sound without an amp believe me!

OVERALL OPINION

Since 1 month, I have bought without trying because I have confidence in line 6! Again c is complete, you can do anything ... Check out the videos on the net ... Just to tell you the first time I ais wanted to test the stereo with jbl 2.1 Pc but ... J have sub grill! (: (My jbl ...)

The Pod HD 500 is the flagship effects pedal from Line 6. Getting started is as easy as plugging in a guitar and headphones to start picking away at a preset amp model. Tweaking the internal processing of the pedal has a learning curve if you haven't used a Line 6 pedal before. I suggest using the downloadable software application to really go deep in the editing, but some people will always prefer twisting knobs.

UTILIZATION

This pedal has many improvements over the previous generation of POD X3s. The hardware has been upgraded to metal rather than plastic. This gives the pedal more of a rugged feel compared to the old plastic pedal which seemed like it wasn't made to last for very many years.
The internal DSP chips are capable of significantly more processing, which means that the amp sim models sound more realistic. There is also more storage, so there is tons of room for user presets.


SOUND QUALITY

I use a Variax 700 guitar with the HD 500. This allows for even more control because I can assign a specific guitar effects model to a particular user preset. Then with only click of a button, the entire signal chain can be changed. I can change between a Gibson Les Paul through a Marshall JCM800 to a Fender Telecaster through a Fender Bassman, to a Gibson J-200 acoustic guitar all by stepping on a footswitch. This can make for a huge range of possible sounds with only two pieces of gear at a gig.

OVERALL OPINION

The Pod HD 500 is another step forward in amp simulation. There are a wide range of amps included from clean to overdrive to extreme distortion. To me, there are still a few amps 'missing' from the X3 that I hope Line 6 includes as a firmware update to the HD line (Matchless, Orange, Budda). All in all, this effects pedal is capable of some very realistic amp sounds. Unless you are willing to pay for an Axe-Fx, this pedal is the best bang-for-your-buck.

Data are known, see previous opinion. (But given the opportunities and the price is really good.)

UTILIZATION

The manual is not included in the original box it is necessary to download. This is not very convenient because I can print but it is still very clear and has been very helpful.

From a general point of view there are some changes from the X3 that I had before but it took me a few days to get used to. From a global point of view I think it is easy to use.

SOUND QUALITY

I use a ESP M-2 and a Gibson SG standard mainly. Sometimes I also use it as an audio interface and I must say that the HD500 Edit software is particularly useful and effective because I do not have to stoop down to change settings every 2 minutes when I register.

Modeling is a really good point of view although overall overdriven sounds a little down (lack of energy) compared with clear sound and crunch but it is high quality.

OVERALL OPINION

It has been almost a year since I have this wonder. I bought it with your eyes closed because I was already very happy with the Pod X3 and I needed a pedalboard. I love the concept and the overall quality of this equipment. It really is perfect for playing in an apartment and to register. If I had the choice again I will take it without hesitation.

was a plateau effect broad and comprehensive (Personal I can used very)
edited via the editing software pod HD 500 using digital technologies (note this is the hd: D) with footswitch plien of 8 + 2 preset selector and 1 foot tap (tempo and tuner) and a looper 48 seconds which is pretty cool
it comes with everything
a loop of effect
One guitar input, microphone (singing, singing and yes), the (2nd guitar or pad) for a Variax guitars and line 6 CD/MP3 in
2 mono jack in
2 stereo outputs on XLR
One afternoon, S / PDIF, and a headphone

UTILIZATION

use the approach with intutive controls amp drive so high mid bass presence and master volume.
extensive editing is with the 1,2,3,4 buttons and controls (or afternoon but I did not understand how) must connaitres commades the alternative view buttons, enter and move
extensive editing is hard but quickly assimilated quickly.
must know the behavior of an amp lamps to play tickle Bias and these controls but we quickly find what you're looking

SOUND QUALITY

€ 500 which may sound a digital BUT not necessarily dégeulasse! no kidding, I used to live, studio, again, to mumuse, create sounds construc no interest, do metal, jazz / blues with a 7-string bass to save my ect ... but it's just great because I do not feel ripped off like with some amp / pedal. It is polivalente, sounds very good with a very respectable qualitée (DO NOT COMPARE WITH THE ORIGINAL simus! Compares it not ^ ^) € 500 play with a ENGL fireball like a good sound with the body I do not ask more I do not have the money (yet) to buy a NOS costom or POWERBALL II or a Mark V or correct this pedal but fills me effects are clear good quality (except the noise gate which is ch ! royally but er ... ^ ^) this pedal fulfilled its role of good cheap amp qualitée Audible and easy to use
amps are well made, the response of the cab / mic is very active and pots are (too reactive)
possiblitée take the preamp aulieu a full amp sends the complete signal in a real PowerAMP (very nice: D) and do not put impluse to connect a cab (which will make its best)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month and a half, I have a blackstar HT-5 (which sounds better but congestion level: s vlahh when the scene deserves okay: D) that charmed me in this pedal is its price and qualitée and congestion may just very far, possiblitée create a set list of 4 with 4 preset footswitch for effects bypass / use the expression pedal to plien of stuff: D I think with the experience who personally:
simplicitée you seek for cheap and simple is the sound you / you do not have much money. Take this pedal
if you save and take a real amp / cab

See Line 6 website for a list of effects, amps and other prsets.

Effects and amp fully editable presets live directly on the pod, and the computer software edition for convenience.

Many connectors available

UTILIZATION

the general configuration is rather complex but it is fairly simple for all editable elements.

manual supplied with the pod is VERY simple to understand and manipulate the pod and well, it is necessary to print the complete guide to the pod from the line 6 website.

Editing presets amp is simple since it is the same as that of standard amps (drive, bass, middle, treble, ...)
Editing effects is a little bit more complex as more comprehensive than some effects pedals sold commercially.

SOUND QUALITY

effects are very effective, good quality audio and are very realistic.
Amp presets are also very well done, as long as you take the trouble to configure publishing since the factory is not very nice for the ears (depends on amps but it is always selected better to make the sauce)

I have a special attraction to the effect of "harmonizer" that simulates a second guitar playing in harmony with your guitar. This effect is very well done and artificial intelligence to find the notes you play and very good, as long as it is properly configured (configuration done on the range of notes played)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for very little (about three weeks) but am Thurs fell in love with this gem. I have not used other pedals before, but this one is the one I liked best of all the models that I studied when I was looking for because it provided a variety of presets for amps and effects, and it was also more than other footswitches (plus a foot pedal for wah)

I have a mixed opinion on the value. I bought secondhand at 400E and it was in new condition (the previous owner who used very little) so 100E with less, it is a very good value for money.
However, it costs nine 500E, 100E and these greatly change the situation. to 450E, it's still passable, but 500E is a little hard ... So try to find secondhand in good condition

it is always the more I use it, the more I think I should buy it sooner

All is available, all possible effects!
The editor on PC or Mac is a treat
But it sounds digital,
Xlr top for the scene, everything is digital USB!!

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, fortunately. Car. Use of factory presets, c is impossible!!!
This lack of possibilities for routing the different outputs have such effects and simulations on xlr and just the effects on output jack (if anyone finds the solution to one I'm interested)
The allocation of pedals, expression is not very intuitive

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are top
I said top when you see the sale price!!
The amp simulations sound you can feel a sensation of preamps response depending on the game he really there's a difference with the attack on the strings and the volume of microphone gain amps react!
J have had the xt live! ..! That I have sold very quickly to move to the Roland VG 99 for real sounds clear and precise
The HD 500 is a giant step forward in the simulation
Some are clear clear!
That crunch when you want!
The effects are efficient and clean!
Half the price of the Roland VG 99
the Japanese are buried!

OVERALL OPINION

Used with an ernie ball Luke c, is home to top top
It there's a lot more expensive but better
There is more expensive but not necessarily better!
It allows having the sound at home, being, my students are excited,
On stage like this, to have sound now!.!.!

The choice again I closed eyes
With the series XT Live Line 6 m were disappointed but they have convinced m

The latest updates are top (especially for vocals, so you can sing it!!!! For the studio c is fine)
A machine to do everything that is good and (j did not say either that c was fine, but there's more expensive! "!)

See site for Line6 characteristics.

The HD 500 is solid, and this is clearly a plus for a device to be martyred has great kicks!

Note that Line 6 follows quite his product, with fairly regular updates.

UTILIZATION

The HD 500 is easy to use. There are no menus under 50 (if not part of the setting a little more advanced amps supplied), direct controls on amp settings are very nice (a big plus compared to my former Axis FX, for example).

Effect settings are made via the four buttons below the screen. In itself it works against some settings by at least original, kind of frequencies in%? 2-3 There are strange things like that, but otherwise okay.

The screen is perhaps a bit small, especially for the tuner. A higher contrast not spoil anything.

Its effects can be placed in the desired position, against a far cry from the possibility of an Axe FX regarding the effects in parallel: one has only one parallel path, which may just be in more advanced cases.

I use the HD 500 with change presets on the bottom row, and the activation / deactivation effects on the top row. It's very convenient that way, plus LEDs that display the status effects.

It lacks a management IRs for cab simulations, it would have been interesting, much better than the current simulations.

The only real problem I have is the management of the afternoon. To integrate the Pod in my next setup I would like to control multiple devices noon that which involves sending multiple PC / DC at a preset change, which is not possible (only one). Damage, perhaps in a future firmware?

SOUND QUALITY

Overall pretty happy. Unsurprisingly lower Axe FX was my ex, but not that far on some amp models. The biggest problem for me is the lack of high gain simus, only 3: Dual Rectifier, and Powerball Uberschall. Alas the last two I do not think of Achievements. The Mesa is much better.

I am using that very few other simus, preferring to play with the gain knob on my guitar. For clear, I really like the Blackface normal.

On the effects, I mainly use the analog chorus (not bad at all, but lack of subtlety), time (not seductive enough, my TC Electronic 2290 Flashback mode is magic) and reverb (not bad) . ODs are not bad either, especially the Tube Driver.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, this is a great product. We really can do everything.

Of course dealing with products dedicated or worth 5 times the price it does not face, but is never ridiculous. The Pod will clearly remain at home as B rig or multi-up effects.

The format is a great while, it is solid, easy to use. Give me a better management noon, high gain amps more convincing and more, the IRs and receives a 10

To see all the features above and view the site of line 6 (a well done with samples galore)

UTILIZATION

Manual back (saves paper by the supplier)
Quick and intuitive
edition with the soft top (click copy / paste)

SOUND QUALITY

1: This tool is excellent from the moment we use the dual (two amps a router as you like)
and we have fun or just with efftes stereo. The beast in this case is formidable.
2: If you have several guitars so do not hesitate to create presets does your instrument (really important because the results are very different)
3: the effects of the very interesting wah whamy the steamer tube compressors the slicer
4: Effects BOFs: distos the modulation (better to play on the gains of amplifiers)
5: looper not top after recording the loop is unstable (collapsing volume) when you play it
6: bug known line 6 working there. From time to time the beast roars (loud noise that can blow up the ears)
I personally use it on a sound (no amp to carry around, play in stereo)

OVERALL OPINION

used since 4 months ago what fun
do not hesitate to buy the 500 rather than 300 or 400
value for money: very good
I will redeem easily

The +:
choice (it has almost all the effects and amps needed for all styles)
the strength of the product (important when you move)
quality simulators (a good couple anyway)

the -:
the bug (strange that ca be without quality control)
the looper
