Line 6 POD HD Thread

[Zehailiu]

First check your input settings. I am not sure what settings the bean has, but the HD500 has several settings. Set input 2 to Variax. If you dont have Variax try a few settings because the default is same which doubles the input volume and clips things easily.

Second ditch the headphones. It could be the headphones clipping because the POD HD is very picky about headphones. It wants a certain impedance, and is known to act weird outside of that range. Besides, guitar through headphones suck, IMO. It always sounds horrible regardless of what unit you use.

Third I would start with a blank "new tone" patch. Slowly add things one at a time and see where the clipping starts.

Fourth on the mixer pan path A to center and path B to mute. The mixer does some weird things to the signal and it is best to avoid its weirdness. Only use both paths if you are using 2 amps.

I personally would never use an old firmware on any unit.... they update them for a reason....

I tried all those, but in a solution totally out of the left field, it turned out to be a dying battery...
I replaced the battery, and did the 18v mod while I was at it, now it's all good.

Hey chaps, I haven't got the most recent firmware update, is the Soldano model good?

 

[facepalm66]

Can someone give me a honest answer: this or the 11r? the price range isnt as big, and I don't really care about several more effects, i'm into the sound of a hi - gain amp. Both guitar and bass. Thanks!
I've been surfing the net, and found both units sounding decent, and really can't find any 'turning point' reviews.. Please, help me out.

HD500 SLO amp > 11R

Haven't heard any decent hi gain offerings from the 11R

post the clean patch please

Hi friends!

This is my Racecar tone test.

Greetings!

I have on youtube. IMO the SLO could be great but it's WAYYY compressed.

Try running just the preamp model into some cabinet impulses. I run pretty much all pre-models since I use it with a DT25, but the compression seems to come from the power amp simulation for that model.

Ah I see, I'll give that a go!

Either way, I still think it's weird that people say the 11r can't do high gain? There are lots of examples on youtube, it's just less prevalent likely because of the whole protools proprietary issue. 'Course we all know the HD's can do high gain just fine.

post the clean patch please

the clean sound is Guitar Rig 4!!!

 

[Blasphemer]

More or less a PSA:

Meambobo's Vai Patch (with a little tweaking) is pretty much an awesome all-around sound if you like mid-voiced high gain amps (think Scale the Summit, but a hair warmer)

My Alto TS115A is almost here! Anything I should know so I don't break it? I'm not sure if I should have the switch on the back of the HD Pro XLR outputs to mic level or line level. Same for the TS115A. It has a line volume and mic volume. I'm so clueless.

 

[Captain Butterscotch]

Line level is fine I turn up the volume all the way on the back of my Alto and I use the POD's Master knob to adjust volume.

Anyone got tips on how to dial in a piano-like / crystal clean on the pod hd?

Go into the settings and set Input 1 to Guitar and Input 2 to Variax or something else entirely if you haven't done so already.

 

[SDSM]

Anyone have a cool bass patch for the HD that you use for recordings?

Oh no I've already fixed my noise/clipping issues.
I'm asking if anyone has experience replicating the timbre of a piano with guitar and pod hd.

 

[MF_Kitten]

you'll want a smooth high end (lower treble), and a big low mid focus. Turn down bass, be careful with the mids knob, and boost presence a bit to get some air. Use one of the EQ's to do a wide boost around 2-400 hz somewhere. Use your neck pickup. Play with fingers.

Other than that, there's not too much you can really do.

So i started combinging my patches and realized that they started sounding really good together. it was kinda a herp derp realization that i should have tried this way before.

waddya think?

Sweet Raptor Lord. I underestimated the size of this Alto TS115A.




I need to order another one.

 

[TallestFiddle]

@purelojik I think that's one way to really cut down on the fuzz and make the sound a lot bigger. I recently did that also and I love the sound I got.

also I learned from meambobo that using 2 different cabs on the same amp works really nicely to make the sound more full.
