I know it's a support forum but I still can't help myself from giving Line 6 BIG THANKS here.
Yesterday I just took my JTV-69 (with a warmoth neck) and POD HD500 out for their first live show (a graduation celebration of a chinese school band),
I plugged the POD directly to PA and it sounded GORGEOUS.
When I played the first few notes of Hotel California (with 12 Strings Martin Model) I could just tell how convincing the tone was
just from the faces of the audience.
Then I could just step on the switches on the POD to change seamlessly from a Martin to a 12 strings Rickenbacker and then to the Humbuckers, just amazing!
Again big thanks to Line 6 staff for their genius ideas!
