Line 6 POD HD Thread

I would also consider the Carvin TS-100. It is suppose to be very neutral and not color much.

Had one with my Axe Fx.... boat anchor.

The Return on my Blackstar HT-5 sounded better.

The Carvin is HEAVY!, and dead sounding in stock form. Good tubes and a bias mod might have woken that amp up, but I wasn't into wasting the bench time or money. It was 'flat' sounding, I'll give it that.

Much better choices out there.

Interesting. I havent tried one, but always thought about trying one.

I usually use an ART SLA-2 or the power amp of my Triple Recto....

You know this reminds me. There was a Hughes & Kettner solid state power amp that was half rack... CF 100, CF 200, and a 1-rack space CF-260? I think.

Pretty punchy from what I've read.

Just throwin' out more ideas.

I specifically didnt want a neutral amp with my gsp. Why I did some research and bought what I did. Watched my buddy play a gig with a cranked 78 Marshall JMP mk2 50w and was floored. From what I read my 9005 is dual 800 power plants.

 

[PodHdBean]

try mixing the bogner and epic model sounds pretty close to this

Something really close to this


I'm not trying to rip them completely but I really like the tone and how it when the the lyrics kick in the tone is like a kick to the dick.

I had an old Mesa 50/50 and tbh liked it more than my friend's VHT 2/50/2 that he had. It definitely colored the sound a little bit, but in a way that I really liked. It was nice and punchy. They are kinda highish but can be had for 400ish used every now and then. I'd still go for the Peavey though if you want a tube power amp at all. They would be more than sufficient and plenty loud.

For me, I really dig the Carvin DCM amps. Transparent, very powerful, lightweight & extremely reliable.

How do the Carvin HD power amps compare to the DCM ones?

I haven't used the HD ones, but I did a lot of research on them. They seem to have issues from time to time. I believe they are made overseas, thus the lower price. However, the DCMs are USA made & built like a tank. They used very high grade components & you can't go wrong with those.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Well since they seem to get better reviews than the Rocktrons and ARTs in the same price range, I like the sound of that. $350 for a USA-made DCM1000L doesn't sound bad at all.

Well done! Really like the Mesa sound! Using my guitar (Agile 7 w/Cepheus Active) this amp sounds too trebby...

 

[LolloBlaskhyrt]

I finally started to appreciate dual tone! Soon a mix test/comparison between a mono-amp patch and a dual-amp patch.

I'm not personally a fan of the lead part, but I like the rest enough to give you a follow on soundcloud!

 

[MobiusR]

i own a DCM1000L. It sounds great with everything and as stated. Built like a tank. Military grade hardware you can't go wrong for the price

 

[Shannon]

So there you have it.....Carvin DCM.

My newest track progress. This one is using the epic and f-ball mixed. Excuse the poor soloing

This one has no post processing on the rhythm, and a small amount in the solo. Also, I used an mxr carbon copy delay pedal rather than one on the hd500, only because I have one that my wife bought me and she would be disappointed if I didn't make use of it!

Pre-Welcome I don't think they'll release some new devices. I hope they will release a firmware update as Xmas present

I haven't heard anything about new PODs, and frankly the HD's still have room for improvement, so they better be on that!

Besides, old isn't bad... I have an older Axe-FX, it still sounds awesome even though it isn't the newest
