Enter The HD500X
I’m a couple weeks in with my new Line 6 HD500X, and I’m loving it. My band The Drop Daddies has a gig on Friday, and it’ll be the first with the new Blackstar Stage 60 and new pedal board.

The problem was not evident when listening through the speaker emulated output. More
New Blackstar HT Stage 60
Look what arrived today! I’m excited to try it out. That big hole in the box is a bit worrisome, but hopefully all is ok.
