A bit of a change from stomp boxes so still a learning curve

Takes a little getting used to after an earlier version... But great sounds

I was hoping that the Pod HD500X would be able to replace my pedalboard, but found I spent more time fiddling with menus than exploring the sounds. It's better than previous multi-fx units, but I still prefer the old school method. I'm sure it works for some, but it's just not for me.

Great Product, would have expected a more advanced manual (like the one obtainable over the internet) and device drivers pre-packaged for those that do not have immediate internet access.

First impression, a serious piece of kit. Early day's and still working my way through things. Will take a bit of time but found some great sounds together with some very imaginative presets. I dare you not to be inspired.

It's for OH but I know he was blown away when he opened it on Christmas day and he hasn't left it alone since (being proper teenage and doing everything on full volume too!)

More settings that you can throw a stick at so expect to spend hours getting it right, thank god for the customtone.com where you can down load other peoples tones - but beware there is not much for the 500X on line you have to convert all of the tones from the other HD products to the 500X format - why they change the file formats I don't know, have they not heard of backwards compatibility? Combine this with a JTV Variax and you have some serious tonal ability - you can change the guitar you are playing, the tone and pickup settings and even the tuning as well as the guitar effects at the touch of a switch brilliant.

I used to have the pod XT pro but this sounds even better plus of course it all integrates together. The HD500X controls all the tones , sets up my variax guitar and sets the output stage of the DT25 amp All with the click of one switch

Excellent tones from Line 6's flagship amp and effects modeller. Far more rugged than the HD500 it replaces. Gone are the unreliable switches to be replaced by heavy duty ones that will survive many gigs.

multitudes of amps/effects and great computer interface for patch building. Hours of fun!

The possibilities are mind boggling but that just boosts your creativity, plus you can get good old fashioned quality tones easily. Paired with a JTV, just brilliant!

Line 6 are proving to be serious contenders in the world of music with their latest guitar products. The pod hd500x is an incredibly powerful piece of kit that will probably take me at least a year to master it in its entirety. The videos on the Andertons website also sold the product to me!!

Great device let down by poor software (editor could benefit from eq curve similar too gearbox) but that's a line 6 issue.

This item was bought for use directly into the PA and it does that job very well - it's difficult to tell that there is no physical amp in the chain. In fact, one is spoiled for choice of amp model! And it's no longer necessary to lug a heavy amp around as well as all the rest of the kit. The only downside is that the Line 6 manual is a nightmare - it gave me the impression of having been written by someone unfamiliar with how a guitarist would approach setting up the HD500X.

The pedalboard is worth the money it costs, but requires experience to learn to compose the best presets you can because you have to learn wich pedal/eq/effect it's the best for your situation, by the way the amplifier simulations are really good but line 6 hasn't reached yet the sound of a real amp

Out the box awesome. It does exactly what I hoped it would do and much, more.
Build quality good. Alan key?
One and only one issue. Lack of information with regards having to first register your PC / laptop with the Line 6 registry manager before you can update firmware, USB etc. I even beat the tech support guy to solving the issue. Oops.
