Lol sorry, I wasn't sure if it had been explained. I missed about 10 pages when I was in Mexico!
Here you go:
Re-Amping on HD500
-Launch your DAW.
-Assign your POD HD500 as the audio device/driver.
-Create a track.
-Start using a blank patch, so that you can record your guitar clean.
-Connect your guitar to the Guitar Input.
-Record your guitar part.
-Disarm the record enable on this track once you are done recording.
-Create another track with the same input, but mute it, but record enable it.
-On the HD500, using a instrument cable, connect the L MONO out to the guitar input.
-Configure your tone, or bring up a patch.
-Launch the Line 6 Audio-MIDI devices menu, and under the inputs & recording tab please decrease the hardware monitor level all the way.
-After you are happy with your tone, press record.
The key thing is that you have to open your line6 audio-midi settings (located in your control panel) and turn your hardware monitor level all the way down. You won't be able to hear anything but the DI track until you press play and listen to it though.
Hope that helps! It worked great for me!
So. I'm a little upset. I got my POD HD500 and been using it nonstop since I've been able to use it (Thursday) and I can't, for the life of me, get a good metal tone. I can get good cleans, but all the metal tones sound like POD Farm. I'm running it into my laptop via USB and into Logic and using headphones (Sennheiser HD280s).
I'm really bothered by the sound quality. :\ I kept hearing how good this thing was supposed to be, and I hear other people's sound good, but how do I get it to sound that good?
Depends on what you're doing as far tweaking? How deep into the editing are you getting? For me, I got my best straight results by tweaking the cabinet and power amp sim parameters more than the preEQ settings.
Best straight results will likely come from turning off cab sim altogether and running the Pre models into LeCab (or another impulse loader).
Also good idea to mess with dual amp modes.
What kind of sounds are you going for?
I really want kind of a "soft" distortion (think Devin Townsend Project-esque, specifically the Addicted! album) and a death metal distortion (like Obscura).
I know nothing about Cab models or whatever :x
You have to hold I think the enter button and it will bring up another menu. Then scroll over to volume and choose exp. 2

I would say the headphones aren't helping either. I dunno, I have never liked any guitar tone through headphones.
Just ordered my Pod HD500 yesterday!!!
I was looking at those patch bundles on the bay and was wondering if they are worth it or not. Maybe it's just a bunch of presets that someone just threw together, maybe it's not? I was thinking if I just spent some time on the unit I could just dial in more appropriate ones myself. Has anyone purchased those?
Still sounds better than my shitty Mac speakers ._.
im getting really bad feedback with my live settings.
im running my hd pro through the power amp of a fender hot rod deluxe and i get this squealing but its only at high volumes i can live with it because when i turn my volume off(on the guitar) it stops
anything i can do?
