I just got this pedaleboard to replace my POD xt live. The packaging was good and got it the next day with amazon prime
So far I tried the factory presets and made a few of my own.
First of all, HD modeling is a great upgrade from previous pods, it does sound diferent, I'm not and audio tech or anything like that, it really feels very close the real thing.
With this one you get fewer amp modeling, but they are 16 greatly modeled amps, and you can tweak every aspect of it to make it sound how you want.
I like the fact that now with line 6 edit you can tweak the signal, you can use pre or post effect and the GUI from the new version is really intuitive.
The advantage of the 400 is that you have the bank selector and is to my opinion less confusing than the 500.
This is really an improvement I really like the new tone, the distrotion for metal are great, and lots of weird sound effects if you're more into experimental stuff
The only thing I would complain about is: 1. You have to download the manual from the line 6 page
2. It doesn't have an off switch (that's not a bad thing its just I don't like to be pluging every time I want to use it)
Is this better than the 300?? no, Tone is the same, just a few more effects, but I like to have the bank selector separate front the other switches.
Is this worth it or should I get the 500? A friend has the 500 and I got really confused making the tones, with so much stuff you can do, you have to be really patient and organized in order to get the tone you want, with 400 is just tweaking a few of the knobs and that's it ready to rock. If you just want play music with good tone and no spend time tweaking stuff the 400 is for you and you save yourself some money.
Ask me for a video review and I will gladly post it =)

HD amp modeling: sound and feel like never beforeHD amp models defy the accepted standard. They feel, behave, and interact with previously unachievable realism.Creating these new HD amp models was no small feat. Line 6 mixed 15 years of amp modeling experience with 3 years of new research and development to build an entirely new amp modeling technology from the ground up.During that time, they hunted down 16 incredible amplifiers andwith the help of LAs top tube amp expertsrestored each one back to peak condition. The new modeling technology uses 10-times more amplifier information than before, including single-ended class A tube stages, class AB push/pull interactions, power supply behavior, and more. The result is unprecedented, warmth, feel, sustain, and articulation for you to fall in love with.Tube amp fanatics have long enthused that their favorite stacks and combos arent merely amps, but instruments themselves, with playability equal to that of the guitar plugged into them. New HD modeling takes the POD HD experience to that same exalted level, capturing the genuine playability that great guitarists demand. Your amp collectionnow in HD!On the menu is a collection of freshly modeled amps, many of which are brand-new to POD, and all of which are essential for performing guitarists who require a wide variety of tones in one streamlined, multi-FX-sized package.
