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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
