I know what you mean 'bout Line 6's unquestionably fizzy tendencies, in fact, I've never really gotten a perfectly clean tone out of one, the last one I bought was the XT Pro Rack.
Do you use any O/D pedals, & if so, which?I've been on a tone quest since August 2010, & I've bought somewhere in the region of 35 different pedals, from pretty much every boutique producer, obviously, some I've returned, but I've ended up with a rather considerable collection...
So, if you're interested in my opinions on any? l8r----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Smart" <csmart8@xxxxxxxxx>

Hi Jay. Here's a difficult question. How does it "feel" playing through the HD500?I havne't been a fan of Line6 in the past, because I always felt an odd disconnect between what my hands were doing ontthe guitar, and what my ears were hearing. It sounded fine if someone else played through the same gear, but I always felt like I was across the room from the amp or something.But, that was with older POD's and amps, and I gather there is several times the DSP horsepower in the new HD units. So it probably responds a lot better.How are the slightly broken up tones, like a slightly distorted Fender type sound? That's the area where my Digitek RP1000 doesn't quite have it. The clean tones are great, and so ar ethe high gain metal or hard rock tones. But that smoother slightly distorted bluesy thing seems to be harder to get.thanksChris
