Full Description

It's the ultimate tool for creative guitarists. With more processing power than before, the HD500X gives musicians the power to create more intricate sounds and signal chains.

The POD HD500X was built for tone customisation. Guitarists have the unparalleled flexibility to choose from a range of effects and place them in their signal chain, adding more effects with the HD500X than with any other POD.

Whether used with an amp for a traditional setup, full range system or in the studio for computer-based recording, the HD500X can integrate seamlessly with a James Tyler Variax guitar or a Stagesource speaker to become virtually any rig you want it to be.

There's an unparalleled collection of HD amps, including both treasured vintage models and modern powerhouses. Plus, there's over 100 studio and stomp effects, so users can recreate classic signal chains or develop their own unique sounds with the help of the dynamic DSP.

A road-worthy metal chassis and tour-grade die-cast expression pedal make performing carefree yet with precision control. Updated LED rings and an improved high-contrast display mean you can see they POD HD500X from anywhere on stage.

Flexible I/O options give you all the connections you need whether you're working on a project in the studio or rocking out on stage.
