100+ M-class effects.
Line 6 stompbox modelers including the M9, M13 and DL4 set the standards for accuracy and authenticity in effects, establishing a new category known simply as M-class. POD HD Pro includes a whopping collection of more than 100 M-class effects, including an incredible selection of classic delays, reverbs, modulators, pitch effects, overdrives, filters and more.
To make the most of this collection you can chain together up to eight simultaneous effects, tweak the parameters of each to taste, and create parallel paths (two independent tones) each with its own amp and effects signal chain, from one or two input sources. Use this breathtaking power to craft classic sounds from the annals of tone, or design new soundscapes that are entirely your own.
A brief history of tone: the HD modeling story.
Over the last decade and a half, we have taken amp modeling from experimental to essential. POD HD Pro contains new HD models, which are a quantum leap forward in modeling quality, giving digital signal processing all the feel, dynamics and playability that makes players passionate about great tube amps.

16 new speaker cab models.
A speaker cabs interaction with an amp plays a tremendous part in the shaping of a tone. For POD HD Pro, we developed 16 new cab models that present the tones 16 speaker cabinets with stunning weight and authority, including the tuning of each cabs acoustic resonance and the speakers frequency response and interaction with the amplifier. Our cab models deliver every detail of this most crucial link in your sound chain.
8 new mic models.
In the studio, the decision to mic your speaker cab with a condenser, ribbon or dynamic mic is as crucial a tone choice as where you set your gain and tone knobs. For POD HD Pro, we totally rebuilt our mic models with reference to eight great examples of essential recording mics to present more sonic detail and realism than ever before.

Countless legendary artists have achieved signature tones by routing their signal through two rigs simultaneously. POD HD Pro makes this a breeze for you to achieve on stage and in the studio. Create two independent amp and effects chains and either pan them left-right, blend them in mono or route one to the 1/4-inch out and one to the XLR to process them differently whatever gets your tone on.
