Line 6 POD HD

REVOLUTIONARY HD MODELING

Colorful clean tones that sparkle and sing with dizzying levels of detail. Dial back your guitar volume to get sweet-spot breakup from warm, earthy crunch tones. Line 6 HD amp models feel, behave and sound like no others. They contain up to 10 times more amplifier DNA than our previous modeling for a playing experience that can only be described as HD. Behind the full-bodied tone of every HD amp model is a story that's just as rich.

Record the guitar tones you always wanted – in stunning HD quality. 22 amp models, over 100 M-class effects and an I/O that fits how you record.

22 HIGH DEFINITION MODELS

All POD® HD multi-effect products include exceptional HD amp models. This collection delivers the most inspiring tones based on* classic Fender®, Vox® and Marshall® amps, boutique essentials from Bogner®, Dr. Z® and Divided by 13, and more. Many of them are brand-new to POD, and all of them are necessary for recording guitarists who require a wide variety of tones.

M-CLASS EFFECTS

Made famous by Line 6 M9 and M13 stompbox modelers, M-class effects include popular delays, reverbs, mods, pitch effects, and more. Each POD HD multi-effect boasts a whopping collection that is easy to dial in, save, and sync with universal tap tempo. Now you can sound like anyone under the sun, or no one but you. List of Effects:

NOT JUST A SOFTWARE EDITOR/LIBRARIAN

POD HD Edit is a powerful and essential control panel for POD HD that’s available for download at line6.com/software. Its separate sections for FX, Amps, Mixer and Set Lists allow you to reach deep into every aspect of your tones and experiment with sounds.

TRADE-UP YOUR TONE

At CustomTone.com, you can trade POD HD presets with other Line 6 users. Show off your creations and download to your heart’s content – it’s totally free.

SIMULTANEOUS EFFECTS

Sometimes a hint of reverb just isn’t enough. You can emulate classic effect setups or create the lushest soundscapes by layering effects. POD HD desktop offers an insane amount of sonic possibilities with up to eight simultaneous effects and flexible routing.

DUAL TONE

Want to create a unique tone by playing through two rigs at once? POD HD desktop can handle that all by itself. You can route your guitar signal through two different chains of models, pan them hard left and right, or do whatever you want. Or, using the 1/4-inch aux input or XLR mic input you can process two different input signals at once.

BUILT-IN TUNER

Necessary, accurate, perfect. All POD HD multi-effect products come with a built-in, easy-to-read tuner. When engaged, the tuner features Audio Mute for silent tuning.

TONE CONTROL LIKE AN AMP

No pointing, no clicking. POD HD delivers hands-on control of your tone. Just like on your amp, you can reach out and grab what you need: Drive, Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence, Channel Volume, Master Volume, Tap Tempo, Channel buttons and more.

A VIEW TO A KILL(ER TONE)

The big, clear LCD lets you view and adjust your entire signal chain at a glance. No digging needed. Edit all model parameters directly from the home page. Dial up the Tape Delay. Swap out the mic model based on* an off-axis Shure® SM57® for the one based on* a Royer® R-121 ribbon mic. Change the 4x12 cab model based on* a 2009 ENGL® Fireball 100 XXL for the one based on* a 2002 Bogner® Uberschall. You get the idea.

WHAT YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT IT

POD HD is super-simple to use so you can stay focused on playing and recording. Nothing knocks you out of the zone like searching the manual or trawling the forums when you need help. Plus, the comprehensive collection of models will keep you at your desk instead of digging through your pedals every time you need that little extra something.

GIVE YOU COMPUTER A BREAK

Does your computer choke when you load a plug-in? Do you keep checking the buffer to see if it'll go any lower? There’s no reason to compromise your guitar tone just because you can’t run plug-ins. POD HD relieves the strain from your computer and delivers stunning, HD-quality tones via USB, or you can send a 24-bit signal via S/PDIF. Still recording on a cassette four-track because you just love the tape compression? POD HD is perfect for you, too — it’s got a pair of 1/4—inch stereo outs.

GRAB YOUR TONE AND GO

You record, you jam, you gig - you do it all. POD HD is 3.5"H x 11"W x 7.5"D and about 3 lbs. so your presets can go wherever you do. It's built tough with an all metal enclosure. Toss it in your gig bag, back pack or carry-on.

POD HD is the great equalizer. It makes every budget studio sound like it has an awe-inspiring amp collection, and every beat-up backline sound like a million bucks.

ESSENTIAL I/O

POD HD comes lock, stock and barrel with the I/O you need to record your way. Send stunning HD tone to your DAW through USB, send a 24–bit digital signal via S/PDIF or send it the old fashioned way via stereo 1/4–inch balanced outputs. Connect your guitar to the 1/4–inch input and a mic to the XLR input (with dedicated trim knob). Connect a Line 6 FBV™ MkII foot controller for tone-switching while recording or playing live. When you’re feeling inspired, take advantage of the headphone jack for late-night jamming.

USB RECORD / EDIT / ORGANIZE

The USB jack does so much more than just send studio-quality tone to your DAW. It also lets you tap into POD HD Edit, the free editor/librarian software that enables easy on-screen editing and organization of all your POD HD tones and presets.

FOOT CONTROL

Connect a Line 6 FBV™ MkII foot controller for hands-free tone-switching while you record. Each one features a full-sized expression pedal, steel footswitches, out–of–the-box connectivity and more.

TANK TOUGH

Don’t worry about tossing POD HD in your backpack or gig bag. The tough, metal chassis will keep your tones safe.
