Latest Amp Modeling Stomp Box for Electric Guitar - New for 2010

The Line 6 POD HD500 Multi Effect Amp Modeling Guitar Pedal takes a quantum leap forward for amp modeling. The POD HD500, from Line 6, is the only multi-effect pedal to be equipped with 16 state-of-the-art Line 6 HD amp models, and 100+ modern and vintage-styled M-class effects, combined with a super-comprehensive digital and analog I/O.

The HD amp models defy the accepted standard. They feel, behave, and interact with previously unachievable realism.

The Line 6 POD HD500 has new modeling technology that uses 10-times more amplifier information than before, including single-ended class A tube stages, class AB push/pull interactions, power supply behavior, and more. The result is unprecedented, warmth, feel, sustain, and articulation for you to fall in love with.
