Even if you buy a new one, you'll smash it. It's primitive instinct.
Primitive humans frequently smashed their effects pedals.

Unfortunately, it was the studio amp for a while.
We used to rob it for parts? Slowly getting it back up and running.

Nice find! How do they compare to one another?
I worked a deal Thursday with a local guy to buy a bass, amp and bass multiFX unit off him. Offered to go get it yesterday at lunch time, but he said he couldn't meet up til 4pm. So, I got off work early at 3:30, hit the bank and grabbed some cash, then pinged him saying I was on the way. He replied and said he already sold it.
So, my foray into having another bass amp and MFX unit is on hold. As is my anger management...

I played around with both yesterday.
The bass supersized kidney is nice. Extremely portable and sound great with a headset. It has a good amount of presets and as you can see from the pics I posted a good bit of cab and fx selections.
The big floor unit. Is now set up permanently in my computer room (future recording studio). It can do everything the kidney can do and more.
The pedal dubs as a volume and wah. I have more control over the effects and cabs I have active just by using a stomp pedal. The tuner is more intuitive on the 500 than the kidney. The 500 also has a tap tempo. I did not see that feature on the kidney.
So far that portable pod is great. Hooked it up to my amp and I could contour the tone pretty well with it.
Here is a link to the only one I could find on reverb that was in the US.

I always loved my Line 6 stuff, had an original floor pod, then an HD500X, then a Stomp and they always put a smile on my face. But never tried the bass stuff. Maybe I’ll have to hunt one down now.

I had an HD500 not the X model. They didn’t support it anymore. So I sold it.
Now I wish I still had it.

I traded my HD500x in on the Stomp. Then sold the Stomp to help fund the Axe FX XLII+, which blows away all the L6 stuff I had - but I miss the Stomp, had some great tones I'd worked up in it.
That means it got well used.

A friend of mine still uses one for live shows/touring.
I've just made a little video of his board for this thread.
