destroythevoice Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 So I am actually very new at this.. And I am just discovering that the Line 6 POD HD500 is capable of being used for gigging without the use of a head or cab... And just directly outputting the sound to the venues PA system... Is this for real? I recently saw a band called Twelve Foot Ninja live and they had NO amps on stage... Not a single amp.. All I saw was the POD HD500 and some strange box software on the side.. Not sure if it was to manage their in ear monitors or what.. But is there some sort of trick to this or is it literally THAT easy? Performing without the use of amps? This sounds way too good and easy to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandrio Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 ...This sounds way too good and easy to be true... believe or not my friend, it is true, it's easy, it is good and it is HD500 ! match HD500 with a JTV and it's even better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joel_brown Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Don't expect to just run out and buy a PODHD, flip to a preset, and it sounds great. You will have to spend time creating tones and that can take some time. But once you get it dialed in, it does sounds really nice direct or through an amp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leftzilla Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 That is exactly how I use my HD500x - without an amp. I go directly to the PA with both My Bands. Recently played RosFest through a major league house system and got many complements on my tone. I was onstage with a JTV89F with my band Elephants of Scotland. Original progressive rock where in some instances I change through 5 different guitar emulations via via the HD500x 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
