Line 6 POD HD Thread

[Clydefrog]

Kind of disappointed that the update doesn't have more high gain additions than that. Loved the XT lineup of amps for high gain stuff, wish there was more of an equivalent to that.

I also think that short of adding impulse options, they really need to fix some of the cabs on the HD500.

Wow, the new amp parameters are pretty cool. Those were among the ones I was hoping to find when I originally tried out the HD500. If I hadn't already invested in a computer rig, I'd reconsider picking one of these up.

The only thing that prevented me from buying a Pod HD is the lack of the big bottom amp
Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaase Line 6

So, it says to connect via 1/4" in that video... does that mean there's no SPDIF connection? Bummer, that would lose my interest.

[IAMLORDVADER]

Im intrested to see if they release a new floor controller to coincide with the amount of effects on this unit. i hope you can set pedals to a certain part of the foot controller like the m9/13 to toggle them when you want rather than be tied to presents

It has SPDIF. From the press release it says:

"POD HD features a studio-ready I/O with a 1/4-inch guitar input, stereo 1/4-inch balanced outs, USB 2.0, S/PDIF out, 1/4-inch headphone jack, an XLR mic input and an FBV™ jack for connection to a Line 6 foot controller."

snatch up a used Pod X3 or maybe if you can find a cheap XT with the model packs.

oh cool, so im not too knowledgeable about pod's but can you use it with your simple amp and guitar rig or how does that work?

[devolutionary]

You certainly can. Hell, a POD 2.0 wouldn't be a bad pick either, you can get them cheap and they are workhorses. Don't expect having 20 pedals (10 of them compressors, 5 boosts, 3 tuners, and a pair of wet ducks no doubt) in a chain. It just won't happen - they're simple, effective, and easy to use. And I think I saw one for NZ$150, so I imagine sub $100 in the states.

our other guitarist is a Marshall and Gibson man, so he made this little video for me, hahah. Thought you all would enjoy it.

[KoenDercksen]

I really don't think they have an accurate availability listing, americanmusicsupply has them listed for a pre-order date of 5/23.

If anyone wants to trade one of these beans for a hd500 keep me in mind (when they come out); as I use my hd500 primarily for recording/at home practice and never use the pedal or actually use in a live situation.

SO Captain, when can we expect a sample of your podHD & rocktron setup?
Even if it's just a basic youtube vid I just wanna hear the damn thing.

[xCaptainx]

in two days!

[capoeiraesp]

I look forward to it eagerly!
I'm probably going to order a rocktron v300 on Friday if your video does it justice. Let's hope it does.

So, there you go.

Edit:
I use AmpFull and Studio setting, 'couse i play trough Headphones/Stereo Speakers at home.

I'm new to the HD500 and have little experience with the PODx3. I'm trying to emulate these setting and get a Destroy Erase Improve type tone. I don't even know where to start to upload your preset into the HD500... I have the hd500 edit and line 6 monkey missing something here? Also what did you mean by E.R. 9?

Heres a visual reference for those settings... you can see the E.R. to the left of the cab on this as well.



1) Connect your HD500 up to your pc via USB.
2) Load up HD500 Edit.
3) Select an empty slot on the "set-list" on the left.
4) Copy those settings in there.
5) Click on the slot you are working on, then under the Send in the top left corner of HD500Edit, click on "Selected".

#5 is basically what you want to do when you want to send new presets from your computer to your HD500. If you come across a preset file, you can simply drag and drop it into any empty slot as well. Easy enough?

I can't really help ya with a meshuggah tone, I haven't created any tones for covers yet myself.

[funknotik]

What could I dial in that would help me emulate this tone? I understand the basics of gating but when i try two noise gates on the HD it seems like over kill and ends up sounding muffled. Also for whatever reason I feel like the tone here sounds better than the recording.

Haha, I'm a jackass. I could've saved you even more time and myself if I wasn't so tired, I should've just sent you a link to the file in the first place instead of all that MSPaint stuff.

Just download this...
