Floor multi-effects processor and amp modeller, the higher-DSP 2013 update to the POD HD500. Runs Line 6's HD amp and cab models alongside more than a hundred studio and stompbox effects, with deep signal-chain routing, an expression pedal and a full footswitch array. Voicings span clean blackface and AC30 through Plexi crunch to Rectifier-grade high gain; the HD engine is warmer and more amp-like than the older XT/X3 models but noticeably more compressed and less dimensional than the Helix that replaced it.
