POD HD500 Amp Modeler and Multi Effect by Line 6 

POD® HD500 represents a giant leap forward for amp modeling. It is the only multi-effect pedal to boast 16 state-of-the-art Line 6 HD amp models, 100+ modern and vintage-styled M-class effects, and a super-comprehensive digital and analog I/O.

Your amp collection—now in HD!
POD HD500’s 16 new HD amp models feature previously unachievable warmth, feel, sustain, and articulation.

Creating these new models was no small feat. We spent years developing entirely new modeling technology that collects more than 10 times the amplifier information. During that time we hunted down 16 incredible amplifiers and – with the help of LA’s top tube amp experts – restored each one back to peak condition. The result? Unprecedented warmth, feel, sustain, and articulation for you to fall in love with.

100+ M-class FX
POD HD500 features a whopping 100+ M-class effects made famous by Line 6 M13 and M9 Stompbox Modelers. With this wide tonal palette to play with, you can sound like anyone under the sun… or no one but you. Use up to 8 FX at once.

•    30+ distortions (from classic stompbox distortion to thick metal chunk), EQs and compressors (from stomp comps to studio tube compression), and pitch FX

•     35+ analog and digital delays (including cool tube and solid-state tape echoes), wahs, and reverbs (from surfy springs, to studio plates, to cutting-edge digital rooms)

•    45+ swirly phasers, filters (including several exclusive custom filters) and other mods (including blackface-style opto and brownface bias-modulating tremolos, choruses, and rotary speakers)

Unprecedented flexibility—stunning simplicity
Designed by guitarists for guitarists, POD HD500 offers flexibility to mix and match amps and pedals in multiple pre-set rigs, attainable at the stomp of a switch. And where other manufacturers seem to require a degree in nuclear physics to access this kind of deep programmability, we’ve made it easy.
