Easy to use.

Designed by guitarists for guitarists, POD HD multi-effect pedals deliver the most access with the least amount of complication. POD HD300 and POD HD400 offer control over almost everything with just the turn of a knob. Need more delay? Just reach down and twist, it’s that easy.

POD HD500 has a bright display that shows recognizable gear icons in their signal path. Easily choose and move things around with the 4-way button, and access almost every setting without ever leaving the homepage. There's no end to the tweakability, but you never have to wander too far from “Home.”

Flexible signal chain.

POD HD amp and effect models can be routed with the real-world flexibility of a pedal board, but better. POD HD300 and POD HD400 offer all of the standard pre/post options you need, while POD HD500 lets you route to your heart’s content. Save over 100 user presets and access each rig with the efficiency of a MIDI controller. All in one box.

Dual tone.

Want to create a unique tone by playing through two rigs at once? POD HD500 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" aux input or XLR mic input you can process two signals at once.

USB: record, edit, organize.

Connect to your computer via USB for instant, multi-channel, studio-quality recording. You can also use it to tap into POD HD Edit, the free editor/librarian software that enables easy on-screen editing and organization of all your tones.

L6 LINK™ for seamless integration.

POD® HD multi-effect pedals and DT50™ guitar amplifiers don’t just connect, they integrate. DT50 amps use HD modeling technology and a flexible tube design (courtesy of tube guru Reinhold Bogner) to deliver astounding amp tones. The amp’s reconfigurable analog circuitry produces a range of tones from authentic to innovative. The analog reconfiguration (and much more) can be controlled by connecting a POD HD multi-effect pedal via L6 LINK technology.

Here are a few advantages of connecting a
POD® HD to a DT50™ via L6 LINK:

  • Selecting a POD HD preset automatically optimizes DT50 analog components
  • DT50 takes full advantage of the POD HD amp models and M-class effects
  • Changing settings on one updates the other
  • Edit POD HD tones by simply turning DT50 knobs
  • Easily create stereo or wet/dry settings. Daisy-chain amps with standard XLR cables and POD HD will do the rest

 

Tank tough.

All POD HD multi-effect pedals are built world-tour-tough with all-metal construction. You’re free to dish out years of stage abuse to the burly metal chassis, footswitches and expression pedal.
