Line 6 HD300 Demo

[@coastalstarz]

I've owned this Line 6 for a few years now. This is my "go to" video.. Best tutorial I've found, for this pedal . 👍

[@Dolphinstreets]

Wow, thanks!

[@hinnehjo]

Hey Robert, thanks for this demo on the Line 6 Pod HD300. I recently purchased a used Line 6 HD300. You video is giving me a great start on learning how to use this unit.

[@samrees2k9]

I've been through so many reviews of this FX unit. This review was thorough and answered all the questions I needed to find out. Great review! Thanks a lot!

[@My6stringer]

Thanks Robert, I just got my own HD300 and learned a lot in 20 minutes from you and I love your playing style , keep rockin' bro !!!

[@rascal1717]

I really liked the metal channels from this demo. Really shows the diversity of this pedal.

[@ianedmonds9191]

It's an awesome FX unit. Loads of fun to play with the looper too. Running it through a Marshall the FX only button has been really useful.

[@DannyPage]

Extremely impressed with the line 6 HD300. I've used it to record a bunch of tracks using the factory presets...bloody great!

[@sidmantri_]

I just got my hands on the HD300. It's a beast of a machine and I wanted to learn how to exploit its full potential. This video helped a lot. Thanks a ton. Great work! :)

[@Dolphinstreets]

It does to a degree. It's not the same feeling as with a great tube amp, but it still reacts to dynamic playing in a similar way. But nothing digital is like an old 100 watt Marshall or a Fender Twin cranked when it comes to dynamics... You can never have the cake and eat it too...but this unit is great fun for what it is.

[@DanielFreakinAwesome]

Great review! I picked up a HD300 and had no idea where to start. This helped alot! I loved the auto-volume at 8:30 - 8:45!

[@Dolphinstreets]

Thank you, glad you liked this hd300 demo.

[@rockhead69]

Thanks dude...really appreciated !

[@Dolphinstreets]

You're welcome!

[@Dolphinstreets]

@quaxBK You can switch between Line and Amp mode, and you can turn off the power amp simulation too, so it acts like a preamp. Very nice!

[@bklixuz]

exactly what i was looking for! hd300 plugged straight into a tube amp. this vid is very helpful thanks a lot!

[@StevePratt1]

Very good review. A balance between playing the sounds and showing the functions of the unit. I got one SH but like new on ebay for £90 and very pleaed with it. Good work Robert thanks you

[@Dolphinstreets]

Steve Pratt Thanks!

[@franegulin3574]

I had the HD300 and I was very pleased with the processor!It has excellent sound but with amplifier it sounded really bad because there is no option to turn off the amp or cabinet, so I really do not know how you you imagine that the processor can be connected to an amplifier unless the fx loop? HD400 and 500 have the option to turn off the amp and cabinet and I think they should sound a lot better than the HD300! Your review is excellent and I wish you good luck in your future work!

[@Cesarremis]

Dear friend, it is very simple, on back panel near the Unbalanced output p10, just select the switch for *Amp*

[@Beriol9]

Great demo, finally someone that actually show how the pedal works and what can do, thank you it helped ;)

[@Dolphinstreets]

I used a Shure SM57 for miking my cabinet, but most often I go straight into the computer via USB because of the flexibility this provides.

[@elblopex]

really great review, man! thanks!

[@Dolphinstreets]

Glad you like it!

[@klv400]

i bet jimi would love to had this! Great video!

[@exonpasamba6041]

Very detailed demo. Thank you!

[@Tinchokamil]

Awesome playing!!!

[@Dolphinstreets]

Thank you

[@Dolphinstreets]

Thanks, it's a fun unit for sure!

[@arvinmihiradhikary3593]

Robert my HD 400 has an issue...i just don't get any output sound..donno why? can you help pal?

[@ProbableCauseBluesBand]

This is an awesom video, it explains so much! YOU just convinced me to buy this! Thanks so much!

[@Dolphinstreets]

@TheBakor Press at the top of the pedal to engange the toe switch - you may have press very hard! My HD500 toeswitch was difficult to engage at first - I had to put a lot of weight on it before it started working.

[@Dolphinstreets]

@Skcharynd No, you need to go through a power amp, PA, guitar amp or computer.

[@Dolphinstreets]

Thanks, good to hear!

[@Dolphinstreets]

@Dragonforce6709 No batteries - it comes with a power cable.

[@red2635]

wth the main channel high gain crunch and metal you didn't show.. i was not expecting that..

[@mradosovic]

Very good review, but it would be better for me if it's recorded directly into a computer because it's the only way, in my opinion, that procesors should be used, and into PA of course for live gig. Anyway, thumbs up!

[@elenanotrapecista3476]

I hope to buy two thinks to have enought money and next month I will buy HD300 :-)) Thanks Rotren !!

[@flyhi94]

You did a great job but you should have plugged it into the effects return of the Marshall to bypass the Marshall preamp.

[@Dolphinstreets]

@littleloverboy No noise problem for me.

[@Dolphinstreets]

@nunofrg The unit need power to drive a speaker cab - headphones is a completely different story.

[@gwugluud]

It has about 7 or 8 flangers. TONS of any efx you want besides.

[@Dolphinstreets]

I use a Shure SM57 for miking my cabinet.

[@Dolphinstreets]

Yes.

[@ShuLorMakesMusic]

I had a Boss ME-70 and then sold it to get a Line 6 HD300. IMO, the ME-70 isn't as versatile and doesn't "feel" as good. The HD300 amp models are much more detailed than the ones in the ME-70. There is also a noticeable difference in touch/response. The Line6 software that allows you to edit your sound via USB is a big plus!

[@MrJonezy79]

it sounds brilliant for clean and blues.. not sure about the meatier driven sounds though.. will have to try one vs a new zoom G5.. and decide which to buy...i want clean, blues and meaty rock.. if i can achive a good tone for each category then i'm happy... nice video btw

[@zoomer51]

hey there, i've been a follower and a subscriber since 2005 man.. i think it was your debut on youtube with the demos and whatnot, and if i recall right you'd just moved to canada back then.. :) anyways, thx for existing still ! just a little question if you dont mind, does that mutli really well to dynamic pickin responses as a real tube amp would do... maybe there's a difference if used within a direct input and with a tube amp ??

[@zoomer51]

alright thx for shedding some light..

[@ZackMustZick]

I have a request can you show a short clip on how to use the wah pedal? I cant find any video on POD HD wah pedals. Thanks!!

[@quaxBK]

@rotren Awesome, thanks! The Box-Simulation always pissed me quite off with Line 6 Products - or for that matter, every Modeller there is except the AxeFx. It just sounds soooo much better when played directly in the Poweramp in an Amp and a real cab!

[@Ibanez3x]

@1:24, sounds like a tone Steve Vai would use. Kinda sounded like him too. Awesome product.

[@montanaLaryLang]

Klasse erklärt! Danke.

[@jackngsc]

Thanks so much for the demo, for you know what is the tone for final countdown on HD300?

[@Dolphinstreets]

@henrikhansson1 Ahh, sorry about that. I ran the mic into my video camera (first time I've tried this) and I must have had the signal a bit too hot. Dang. I hope the video is useful anyway, in spite of this.

[@rickyv1325]

Overtime, line6 has the tendency to have a thinny sound. Comparing this HD300 over the X3 Live or XT Live, this HD300, the older ones are better. But I guess they fixed it on their new models.

[@yadaventertainment6744]

There's another deep settings by pressing the Preset Knob .. Don't look like a switch .. But it is...

[@Jpetersson]

Nice video, kinda wish the audio was direct though, not through an amp so I could hear what it sounds like through headphones. Hälsningar från Skåne! :-D

[@VintageRandom]

Thanks Robert. Ok came up with one last question... Is it possible to assign the expression pedal to control the reverb? I saw that the HD300 has the Octo verb but it would be something I'd like to bring in and out of my signal. Thanks again man.

[@Dolphinstreets]

@ozzcar1 I haven't tried the ME-70 so I don't know.

[@ZackMustZick]

Great job!! simple and very useful, Thanks a lot! I'm getting this for sure!

[@gitnerd]

I have always had trouble with multiprocessing units like this. The digital effects never satisfy me like an analog pedal would.

[@adnankryeziu2287]

Hi i have a problem with my Line 6 HD300, when i press the MODE and the button FX1 it gives me the option save. So I'm not able to access the looper or the effect on Fx1. I tried the factory reset option,but it didn't help. Is there another way to have all the settings reset ? Btw. Very good tutorial and thanks for your time !

[@Dolphinstreets]

I don’t recall and I don’t have this unit anymore. Please contact line 6. They will help you out.

[@Suzumebachigr]

I bought this unit and I have 2 main issues so far.Hexagon markings on the plate metal xase(i can see yours has too) and the mode button is not engaging fully.Everything works though,i will return it to the music store and get a new one.Aside from that, hd300 is very good although some things are very tricky and you can mess up the presets and your sound pretty easily if you dont know what you are doing.I reccomend it though.

[@54faustas]

Thank! This helped out so much!

[@Dolphinstreets]

Faustas Udrenas Glad you liked it.

[@mackjaza1994]

Thanks a lot sir for review.

[@MultiNcHan]

very good review...thx a lot

[@elenanotrapecista3476]

Thanks a lot for this review man !!. One question, your samples has very very good quality, How do you record this samples?. Direct to Usb pc?, Direct to amp and use a mic in front amp? Thanks !

[@marceloblajevitch4163]

Thanks a lot!

[@Octavio12341000]

Very nice

[@VintageRandom]

Robert I'm pretty confused about the effects. I noticed that you had a "plate" reverb setting on one patch and then towards the end of the video you had "tile". Do the various reverb (and overall effect choices) only coincide with the specific amp model you're using or are these choices available for each model? I.e. on the FX1 drive setting. Is a "screamer" the only onboard drive effect available? If not, how do you go about changing the drives? Thanks man.

[@cgmg88]

there line pedals efx of line 6 are wonderful i have POD HD 500 and the sounds are very very great!! and POD HD 300 is equal. I recommend the all products of POD!!

[@TheBakor]

@rotren thank you

[@klops11]

u have to not be afraid of doing it. ;) even in manual u can read that u must push it quite hard to turn it on

[@50j0urn3r]

hey robert, good job as usual :) my question: will there be a demo for the fender mustang floor? thx & greetings

[@Dolphinstreets]

1) No. 2) Should work.

[@jottie4213]

hank You sir for this info it does help a lot

[@hazimijaz]

Hey man! Great video, very informative. I'm about to buy this in used condition but there isn't an adapter with it. Can you help me out and show me the adapter somehow? I'd be thankful. Thank you

[@earthguitar]

your great review man

[@frunkieg1]

for sure going to buy this

[@rom964]

Gut erklärt- Thanks!

[@NaPsTeR_YT]

Does this pedal have pitch shifter... I want to change the tuning to Drop C while having the guitar physically tuned to Drop D..?

[@javierservigon]

Great review, I'm thinking about getting the hd 400, which is a little more flexible but pretty much the same. Can I ask you something though? I've read you can have up to 4 effects at a time, if I have reverb and noise gate on, does that leave me with only two more effects that I can use? or those don't count as effects? Thanks ;)

[@oscarschenk]

Is this better than the boss me-70? great demo btw! Bought the me-70 because there are no good demos of the hd300... haha

[@karkarey]

There are so many effects you missed....using the presets knob...good review though

[@goose-ir1tc]

Is it worth buying a used one in 2021?

[@karkarey]

@@goose-ir1tc I use it for jamming at home, not for recording or playing live..it's ok for that.. if you can afford it the newer POD GO is what I'd recommend.

[@goose-ir1tc]

@@karkarey thanks mate!!!

[@Dolphinstreets]

@SonOfASubmariner27 Type in "line 6 custom tone hd300" in Google and you will find a bunch of user-made presets.

[@JudgeFredd]

Nice and usefull review - tx !

[@riciy]

very neat stuff..that sound at 18:10 sounded a bit like cliffs of dover :D

[@coffeewaldo]

It can be used with an amp. Especially the line 6 dt25 or dt50.

[@Dolphinstreets]

See this video /watch?vtHP24VCbleY about 2:19 into the video. Each fx knob has several effects available to choose from.

[@echord1872]

Just bought the unit and I was wondering how to use wah instead of volume

[@Dolphinstreets]

See kzbin.info/www/bejne/oISUpWCtabZ3msksi=lelY0RIrB_9n3gFS

[@keilacavalcantikc3629]

Boa tarde, sabe me dizer se tem o efeito PIT GLIDE ou WHAMMY na pod HD300?

[@Yuniti]

How exactly did you record? I just want to know, if I try to record too it would sound like this or i would have to add something

[@adilovemetal]

Hello Sir, I am planning on buying this effects processor, and I had few queries of my own. I play metal guitar, as I have a Schecter Damien with EMG pickups, and I was wondering whether this effects processor is good enough for metal distortion and metal playing? And also if it has a manual wah wah effect which i can control through the expresion pedal or not? Thank you.

[@billhughes7290]

Robert, thanks so much for this. This video is what made me purchase an HD 300 (and subscribe to your channel). Even after buying the unit, I still can't play like you for some reason ;-). Anyway, you always pull out awesome licks when you are demoing equipment like the one @ 5:30 or 9:25 or 10:22. Any chance you could do a video on this style? I promise a donation to the site following as I know it's a lot of work to put these vids together.

[@Dolphinstreets]

Cool, glad you liked the demo.

[@Slavetskiy]

Nice! Thanks!

[@nunofrg]

@rotren that doesnt make sense, if i can connect headphones and play only through the pod hd why cant i instead of headphones connect to speakers (cab)?

[@MarkGeorgemusic1]

I have 2 questions: 1) Do you know of a good acoustic modeling tone for the Pod HD300? 2) What do you think of combining the Pod HD 300 and JM4 looper for live gigs?

[@guitarjammer1]

This too me looks like the spiderIV series amps but in a multi effects floor processor. I have the 30 and 150 combos.

[@CptSlow89]

Digitech rp500, boss me 80, zoom g3x, Line 6 HD 300 (maybe 400?) ?

[@Dolphinstreets]

@freakstupid11 Just features.

[@Shamansplayz]

Nice playing man :)

[@AntonStratocaster]

Robert Renman line6 hd300 line 6 m9 which one of the two is better?

[@guerogreenwood]

the delay can still making sound? i mean can sound indefinitely amount of time?

[@lordsharfique]

how to save a new patch into a new user i mean new number without save into existing patch . ( sorry for my broken english ) help me please

[@oscarschenk]

@rotren Well thank you anyway, your video's have been an inspiration :)

[@coffeewaldo]

Robert can u answer a question for me? I have a dt25 amp and cab with the hd300. The issue is the hd300 after a lot of tweaking I can get some good sounds out of it. But everytime I unplug and plug back in the next time I use it I get volume spikes and have to resep every single preset. Is this something that comes along with processors. I remember my pandpra doing this. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@ReverendHellbilly]

You still use this unit ? Cheers

[@Dolphinstreets]

No I sold it.

[@TheBakor]

how do i shift from vole mode to wah mode....i ve tried pressing the pedal doesn't seem to work
