    So here is a first, quickie test I did tonight. The JTM-45 for the lead and distorted tones, and AC30 for wah sounds, and Bassman for the Vibe chords.

    This thing is uber-cool!

    Great playing, great clip. From all models I have heard so far the JTM45 sounds best.

    The signal though seems wet. What effects are on? I'd love to hear a totally dry HD500 JTM45.

    Man that sounds good! I got a Vox Tonelab last year I really like but it doesn't sound this good. Out of cash now but the next time I have some spending money, I may sell the Vox and upgrade to the Line 6.

    Robert has the uncanny ability to make gear sound better in his hands.

    I've had my HD500 for a few months and I can't make it sound this good... Mine must be defective!!! (it can't be me)

    I just added delay and an overdrive pedal. I am going to be working on a few demos of this unit. Any requests on what to showcase?

    I could for sure demo each amp model without any effects at all, if that would please ya.

    I think that would probably be the most interesting demo for me.

    Wow.

    That should be part of the Line 6 website for demos of this product.

    Amazing sounding, simply amazing!

    Just when you thought modellers have reached a technological ceiling, someone comes out with something better.

    Way cool, Robert, and congrats!

    That would be the definitive demo for a lot of players out there. We get to hear the dry signal, the real thing so to say played by a decent player like Robert. This would be the perfect feature!

    A good demo would be using 1 then adding a 2nd, different amp model in parallel. That is one of the cool things about the 500. Some of our favorite guitarists like to run dual amps.

    Remember the Line6 Duo Flextone? No one bought it, although this amp was able to mix two amps. It was iscontinued pretty soon and I never managed to get one.
