POD HD300 represents a giant leap forward for amp
modeling. It is the only multi-effect pedal to boast 16
state-of-the-art Line 6 HD amp models, 80+ modern and vintage-styled
M-class effects, and a comprehensive digital and analog I/O.
HD amp modeling: sound and feel like never before
HD amp models defy the accepted standard. They feel, behave, and interact with previously unachievable realism.
Creating
these new HD amp models was no small feat. Line 6 mixed 15 years of amp
modeling experience with 3 years of new research and development to
build an entirely new amp modeling technology from the ground up. During
that time, they hunted down 16 incredible amplifiers and—with the help
of some of LA's top tube amp experts—restored each one back to peak
condition. The new modeling technology uses 10 times more amplifier
information than before, including single-ended class A tube stages,
class AB push/pull interactions, power supply behavior, and more. The
result is exceptional warmth, feel, sustain, and articulation for you to
fall in love with.
Tube amp fanatics have long enthused that
their favorite stacks and combos aren't merely "amps," but instruments
themselves, with playability equal to that of the guitar plugged into
them. New HD modeling takes the POD HD experience to that same exalted
level, capturing the genuine playability that great guitarists demand.

the POD HD300 menu is a collection of freshly modeled amps, many of

80+ M-class FX
Made
famous by Line 6 M13 and M9 Stompbox Modelers, M-class FX are the new
stage-standards. POD HD300 features a whopping 80+ M-class effects to
craft your sound. With this wide tonal palette to play with, you can
sound like anyone under the sun, or no one but you. Use up to 4 FX at
once.
•30+ distortions (from classic stompbox distortion to thick
metal chunk), EQs (from stomp comps and studio tube compression) and
pitch FX
•30+ analog and digital delays (including cool tube and
solid state tape echoes), echoes, wahs, and reverbs (from surfy springs,
to studio plates, to cutting-edge digital rooms)
•20+ swirly
phasers, filters (including several exclusive custom filters) and other
mods (including blackface-style opto and brownface bias-modulating
tremolos, choruses, and rotary speakers)
In addition to these
classic sounds, POD HD300 functions as a fully featured looping, pitch
shifting, and harmonizing machine. Ready to start creating? This rig
could keep you going for a lifetime.
Unprecedented flexibility—stunning simplicity
Beyond
the mere depth of the amp and FX models, POD HD300 offers flexibility
to mix and match amps and pedals in multiple pre-set rigs, attainable at
the stomp of a switch.
And where other manufacturers seem to
require a degree in nuclear physics to access this kind of deep
programmability, Line 6 has made it easy. Smart FX make it a snap to
quickly dial in your tone, and the free, easy to use editor/librarian
software supports your deepest, darkest tonal explorations. POD HD300
was designed by guitarists for guitarists.
Comprehensive connectivity for live and studio use
Put
simply, POD HD300 connects to just about anything and everything—analog
or digital, balanced or unbalanced, for amplification or recording.

USB, MP3/CD input, L6 LINK jack for seamless integration with Line 6
DT50 tube amplifiers, and more.
Built like a tank
POD
HD300's cutting-edge technology is kept safe within a "bulletproof"
bent sheet metal housing with heavy-duty metal footswitches and
expression pedal. No injection-molded plastic boxes here—POD HD300 is
ready to lap up years of road and stage abuse and keep you playing.

Meet the new HD amp models:
Blackface ‘Lux VIB
The
“Vibrato” channel rounds out the HD model based on* the classic combo
that’s considered by many to be the ultimate studio amp: Fender® Deluxe
Reverb®.
Blackface Double VIB
Fender® Twin
Reverb® is an all-time classic of biting twang and shimmering clean
tones. This model is based on* a Fender® Twin Reverb® “Vibrato” channel,
which is a separate preamp circuit with clipping characteristics that
are different than the “Normal” channel due to an additional 12AX7 tube
stage.
Tweed B-Man BRT
Based on* a Fender®
Bassman®, the amp that started it all – instant rock and roll tone. This
model is based on the amp’s “Bright” channel, which provides a
different voicing from the “Normal” channel by utilizing the second half
of the first preamp tube. (The “Normal” channel uses the first half
only). High frequencies are increased due to the addition of a bright
cap across the volume knob.
Brit J-45 NRM
This
model is based on* a Marshall® JTM-45 MkII, which marked the beginning
of the distinctively bright and crunchy sound that Marshall amps are
known for. The “Normal” channel is adept at big, bold clean tones.
Brit P-75 NRM
Based
on* the “Normal” channel of a Park 75, a Jim Marshall-designed amp that
enjoys cult status for its powerful Plexi-style tones. The “Normal”
channel delivers a slightly darker tone than the “Bright” channel, a
model of which already appears in POD HD.

face-melting, soul-weeping Line 6 original with high-gain capacity,
