Wow, I cant believe how long I've had my HD 500. I feel like I'm just getting started with it. I don't need the latest and greatest, I just need to get the most I can out of what I have.
Glenn that was very good. Brief but clear and helpful. I got one of these a few years ago and updated it online, and I still think it's a great kit. Thanks for your help
this video and your other one helped me so much with my hd500. this pedal does soooooooo much but it is not easy to wrap my head around the user manuals. i just spent an hour setting FX to the expression pedal, assigning them to the stomp pedals and just happily playing around with everything after watching only the first half of this video. thanks a ton man. you opened up so much of the pedal's potential to me.
I have an HD500 arriving tomorrow, so I've been taking a look at some tips. I love how you assigned the delay parameters to the expression pedal to essentially make it selectively delay certain phrases - and that you're controlling multiple parameters with the expression pedal. Great tips in this video! Thanks!
Thank you for posting this very comprehensive look at the Line 6 HD500. I have heard that a lot of folks find using this unit to be challenging. This review really shows beyond just sounds, you do a great job of getting under the hood here, Glenn. Thank you for posting this; once a person watches you create some of your own presets, it becomes very clear the methodology of how the Line 6 programming works. Cheers, man!
Nice video Glenn. I have had my POD HD500 for a few days and just love it. For new users, there is a learning curve so don't expect to sit down and everything sound the way you want with this right off. I am learning something every time I sit down and ask questions or watch videos or just jam/edit. Thanks again Glenn.
I used one of your patches in church last night and got many compliments over the tone that was coming forth. Thanks Bro! It's guys like you that help us learn more of the technical side. The hd500 looked a little daunting to me when I first pulled it out of the box. you definitely simplify the learning curve. Love the Variax by the way!!!!
AS A new HD500 user/owner,your videos have been very helpful Glenn! I really enjoy your sound and playing by the way! Wishing you all the best! Thanks man!
I should be getting mine in about 2 weeks. Largely thanks to this video. I love the sound of it. I can't wait, I'm literally all giddy with excitement.
I just bought my HD 500, and its been a couple of days, and your videos just helped me so much, I think I have learnt quite a lot about this in such less time. Thanks, keep making such videos!!!!!
Cool patches. Thanks for your tutorial.Its really helped me with understanding a complicated piece of equipt and how to set up patches.This video clip was so easy to learn off. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us who have know idea how to use it.Ive had this peddle sitting in the 2 hard basket in my room for over a year. Damn wot a waste of a year! Thanks once again. Much appreciated.
More Video's PLEASE!!!! Had my HD 500 for a week now and love it. I move up from the X3 live and this baby's tone is much better. I like how you present your videos...I have watched it several times now and its helped me get more familiar with my HD. Great pick'n Glenn!!! :)
Hey Glenn. Thanks so much for making these tutorials. I bought the HD500 a few weeks ago and have had a nightmare of a time trying to make sense of it. You're vid's are awesome. Thansk.
Great video! I just the HD500 and this video really helped me create some great sounds! Thanks for posting Glenn, your videos have helped me great deal.
Hey Glenn, I just discovered your videos and I'm impressed. You have a lot of knowledge on patches and effects. Your technique is awesome with your thumb picking. I've loved Patrick Simmons thumb style for years. I play a Fat Strat and ES- 335 through a 65 Fender Deluxe Reverb with a Alesis Quadraverb GT. Your patches are full and distinctive, great work. I might switch to the POD HD500X. Steve Hayes
Hey Glenn, I bought a Pod HD500 Yesterday and took it straight to rehearsal. dialled in my cool metal tones over 4 patches... I love this thing. took me 5 minutes of foolin about to get a useable sound (including time to bugger about with all the totally mental effects). Got it home and put the software on my computer so useable. it's amazing! thanks for all the videos and your honest answer to my questions.
I agree with you. I now keep all the amps at the rehearsal studio and run my HD500 through a pair of Event Precision 8's + sub in my house and it sounds awesome. Can practice at any volume with great tone.
Thanks for demoing with a Variax. I got an old Variax 600 and was thinking of getting a HD500 to use in conjunction with the Variax. Sounds really good.
Hey just wanted to say thanks for the videos on these products. I've actually got the HD bean heading my way as we speak so I've be researching the product line as much as I can. It's just going to be for direct recording into my computer, and for fun since I don't stand a chance of making anything for drum backing tracks. Thanks!
This guy really knows his sh#t. Thanks for your help a few weeks ago. Its really important that anyone buying this to upgrade the firmware to the 1.31 on the line6 site right away. And expierment with the output settings to fine tune it to your amp. Or your gonna spend days on end thinking you bought a $500 tuning pedal. The pod hd500 really is awesome once you get the hang of it.
And thank you too, Glenn. Based on the strength of your video above, I upgraded my last generation unit this afternoon. Your video made up my mind to make the jump to the HD500 from the POD 3X Live. I am sure I'll be referring to your video as I get into using this great floorboard unit. You should do trade shows for Line 6! Cheers!
I love your fingerpicking style, you look like a very experienced and talented musician to me. Bought the HD500 a couple of months ago and I'm still trying to figure it out! I appreciate the insights you shared in this video, I was inspired; as soon as I'm back home I'll try and implement something. Kudos to you :)
Hi Keith, Thank you for purchasing my patches. The patches in this video are not in any bundle of mine. These were to show how to program the patches in this video yourself. Thank you again Keith.
The more videos I watch of you the more and more I respect you as a player and think you're a genius musician. I'm thinking about selling my Eleven rack for an HD500.
Glen, James in Ireland , appreciate all your time and effort , fantastic stuff . Love your videos, very informative . Brilliant James. I am using a boogie MK IV can I bypass the preamp on the boogie, thanks in advance
I'm dying to get one of these bad boys. Especially after this vid, this thing has been doggin my head for a while and the editing is whats been complicating my choice. But seeing how simple that is, i'm all for it. Cheers man.
Dang it, I was perfectly happy with my XT bean until I saw this video. Combine the dual tones you talked about and especially using the exp pedal to adjust various settings on the fly and I had to buy a 500. Congratulations. My wife hates you but don't worry, I still love you man.
@extremevideopro As soon as I read this I thought of a Wolfgang Special. I always thought those looked great in trans purple. I had a Wolfgang archtop in trans red and I regret selling it more than any guitar I've had! By the way.. this is my first comment on your stuff and as a player of almost 20 years I have to say that you are what youtube is ALL about. I love the fact that you are doing these informational/tutorial videos. I'm a Line 6 Vetta II user and on fence about X3 or HD500.
@leonar239 You can use it with any amp. I have used it with an old Marshall Combo and it sounded pretty good. I also hook it up to my surround sound system through the spdif out. Sounds great through my big speakers with 15in subs.
Wow, I cant believe how long I've had my HD 500. I feel like I'm just getting started with it. I don't need the latest and greatest, I just need to get the most I can out of what I have.

Glenn, Love the skills...and tones ... love to hear you play. God Bless.
thank you Glenn you really show what that pedal can do , i like the thumb technique and you explain in detail how to work the pod
Nice work. Looking forward to trying out your patches. Much gratitude for this really helpful video.
Great job Glenn! The most comprehensive and great sounding demo on HD 500 so far.
I use that 20ms trick frequently on my X3L.
Glenn NEVER fails to deliver. I've never heard a bad tone on any of his demos
I have an HD500 arriving tomorrow, so I've been taking a look at some tips. I love how you assigned the delay parameters to the expression pedal to essentially make it selectively delay certain phrases - and that you're controlling multiple parameters with the expression pedal.

I really enjoy your sound and playing by the way! Wishing you all the best! Thanks man!
Awesome as usual, Glenn! Great guitarist and fantastic speaker! Thanks!
Cool sound and great level of play. Particularly unusual and at the same time cool is the method of sound extraction with a pick with a claw.
I just discover your channel and you have THE BEST reviews !
Really well done, lot of useful information, no blabla, no BS... Good Job.
Thanks.
You do a great job of explaining things.
Your a great help and you have a great ear for tone.

I just got one, I got the DT25 and its AWESOME! Simple but with plenty of tones and options. Highly recommended

Awesome demo here.. I'm sold on the POD HD now..
Im really happy you like it. I havn't used the gear alot yet, and since this really isnt a plug n' play device i still have alot of tweaking to do :)

That delay trick was great. I'll be sure to try it if I get one of these

I appreciate the insights you shared in this video, I was inspired; as soon as I'm back home I'll try and implement something. Kudos to you :)
awesome videos!
Sound quality wise they are both very good. They both have the strength's & weaknesses as far as quality goes.
Hi Keith, Thank you for purchasing my patches. The patches in this video are not in any bundle of mine. These were to show how to program the patches in this video yourself. Thank you again Keith.

I'm dying to get one of these bad boys. Especially after this vid, this thing has been doggin my head for a while and the editing is whats been complicating my choice. But seeing how simple that is, i'm all for it. Cheers man.
Thanks Bryan
i wish i could have seen you at NAMM. you're my favorite Line 6 demo guy!
Line 6, Boss, and all other multi fx modelling companies should hire you to do their "how to" and "tips & tricks" videos.
grasias carnal me a servido de mucho
Hey thanks for the tips
Thanks for you quick answer, that's great, I will get one then :).
My opinion is that I like both of them very much and I use both on a regular basis. You can't go wrong with either choice.
Dang it, I was perfectly happy with my XT bean until I saw this video. Combine the dual tones you talked about and especially using the exp pedal to adjust various settings on the fly and I had to buy a 500. Congratulations. My wife hates you but don't worry, I still love you man.

@AlofD You're welcome. I'm glad it worked out for you.
It's in the system settings. You can either choose ABCD or 5-8. In the 5-8 setting all buttons can be programmed for turning on FX.
You're welcome, thanks for watching.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching
Hey man thanks for the videos... :)
