I have an Axe-fx II which I use live and at home, and have to carry it to the rehearsal place everytime.
I'm seriously tempted to get this baby and keep it at the rehearsal place permanently.

Do it.

I have an HD500 which is essentially the same brains and i love it. Dont let yourself get discouraged when you first get it. There are a LOT of options to tweak and unless you're really good at dialing in tones you will probably have a difficult time getting what you want out of it at first. HOWEVER it has waaay more than enough potential to get any tone you want once you figure out how to use it.

Get it. Thats about all i have to say

that was sweet man!

but btw its a Schecter C-7, not SGR, thats not what they are called

[Chuck]

Oh! I have been proven wrong then lol. I was completely unaware of that model. Forgot I ever said anything then lol

 

[osmosis2259]

sounds really big!
how do you recorded the bass?

Thanks!

I used the POD HD Bean for the bass as well. I just used the same guitar patch for the bass but turned the gain down a little

Hah it's all good. Yeah it's a very affordable 7 string that gets the job done.

 

[osmosis2259]

Interesting

Yeah I have a hard time getting that gritty bass tone that you would hear in Meshuggah, Periphery, etc so I just used the guitar patch lol

Other than that I don't even really use any specific patch when I record the bass. I just plug in and go

Hi guys, i have a pod hd500, and when i practice i go straight into my roland micrucube and use the "treadplate" (mesa boogie rectifier) for all of my distortion presets. Im satisfied whith how it sounds. The problem is that, when i unplugg the roland cube, plug my pod hd500 into my pc with usb, switch on studio/direct mode, and load a mesa rectifier, no matter how i set the settings, it just soundss super metallic, even more metalic than the "djent" sound. Im in standard tuning, and heres an example of wat music i record: http://m.soundcloud.com/kjartan-thorkildsen/carpal-tunnel-syndrome
Can anyone help me? I usally like that periphery guitar sound, and my usual tone is very midrange based, with mids almost on full (i do NOT want a scooped sound). The problem is just that it gets exremely metallic, something that its not when plugged into the roland cube (my pickups are dimarzio crunch lab/liquifire)

Do you have a cab sim activated in your signal chain?

 

[Floppystrings]

You have to make the track public so people can listen.

It sounds like you might have a setting wrong, perhaps the cab sim is turned off? edit: ninja'd

 

[Usernames sucks]

I do have a cab sim. Its not an high fizzy sound, its more like a extreme midrange metallic sound.

 

[Usernames sucks]

Going direct with pid hd500 without sounding too metallic?

Maybe it's just me, but I can't go to your soundcloud link. Link is broken on my computer due to the link being shortened.

 

[Chuck]

Not working for me either

 

[Usernames sucks]

Fixed

 

[wakjob]

Which Roland Cube? Are you running it into the FX loop return? AND using a cab sim?
