Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
No, foot switches too close together. Go from 1 to 2 if you hit both you get "New Sound" then you have to shut it off to get back to your program. Clean sound is good. Not one good crunch or dist sound in it. Did all the updates. Used the Program Monkey. Just another bad attempt to get a low cost unit only good for heavy metal sounds.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Had it two weeks so not sure.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Again, not good for live, sounds made for Metal only. Just poor design as a floor board.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Nothing like a real amp.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Not for me,

Action
How was the action out of the box?
I read that you need to do the updates available as soon as you open it, but the factory presets are pretty sweet. I downloaded Line 6's "Monkey" (a desktop program that helps you manage updates, etc.) and it's pretty self-explanatory.

Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
It's the smallest of the Line 6 Pod HD models (300, 400, and 500), but I can't imagine needing more buttons or whistles. I use this to record with my band as well as on-stage.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I've only had this for a month, but it's build like a tank. I don't anticipate any issues with its reliability.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
I used to use a custom-built pedalboard with a Vox Wah, MXR Doubeshot Distortion, Boss Superchorus, Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster, etc.... This board has replaced my old rig with tons more effects to boot! It's very simple to use.

Compared to my old board, this thing is light-weight and durable.
