Line 6 POD HD Thread

[meambobbo]

When you saved it? I would manually force the .h5s extension on it when you save or change the extension after you save. You may have to enable viewing extensions for known file types in windows. What OS and browser are you using? I've heard of ppl occasionally having issues but I could not replicate them.

Can anyone give me some info on what the POD 2 is like, and is it worth me spending £40 on, I just want something that is capable of recording (not top quality, just for demos and online sessions) and is cheap.

Hi there.
This thread is way too long to search for it, but I believe somebody must have asked this already: can I use my Pod HD Pro as a cabinet simulator for my real tube preamp (Engl E530)? Is it possible to disable the amp simulations in Pod HD Pro and use only the cab simulations? If yes, can you please tell me how? Or could you navigate me to the part of this thread where it´s been discussed?
Thanx!

Ah got it! Fixed! Thank you!

Ummm.... This is the pod hd thread. If your looking for a good recording, the 2.0 is not the way to go. And you would need a separate interface.

No, you can't use cab sims with the amp sims engaged. You could just load impulses on a laptop and run an interface out into your power amp.

Didn't know there was a separate thread, and I'm not looking for good recording, I just needed a temp solution till I can get a HD Pro

Glad to hear. If you don't mind, please let me know what OS and browser you're using. You're not the only one with issues, and I'd like to get them sorted out. How'd you workaround? Right click...save as... then made sure the .h5s extension was on the file?

If you have an interface, go to the lepou and tse websites.

For around £300-350 - is the Pod HD still the main unit to have for typical metal/stoner tones ?

Looking at the range they sell, I'm not sure at the moment I can justify the price of the HD500, the HD300/400 I can do or even the bean thing.

Currently at home I just use several pedals, and software - which is ok but a bit fiddly sometimes and just a pain if I want to head over to a friends place to go over some riffs.
Ideally I'll be buying myself a decent amp/cab later in the year but for now the Pod stuff looks appealing.

Cheers for any tips (I'm definitely searching high and low for comments on it).

 

[meambobbo]

go for a bean over 300/400. numerous limitations on 300/400 you will hate.

can't use a compressor + distortion effect simultaneously...or distortion + EQ

 

[RobPhoboS]

Cool, thanks for that link.
I'm not overly fussed about not having the expression pedal but I guess I could always buy one at a later date, I'd rather have the full sound capability of the thing.

This had been covered before, but I can't remember what the fix was. Try holding the down button during start up. That performs a hard reset.

Go to HD forum in Line 6's website. After every firmware update you have to make a full reset + pedal reset. Needless to save, save your bundle before doing this.

He can't even get into his unit. Not gonna be able to save any patches. Need to do a factory reset then reinstall firmware.

So the HD pro is no longer available through guitarcenters website. Any word on this? Is guitar center just not carrying it anymore?

It's off Musician's Friend as well. I figured they were just restocking or something.

Talked to a manager in Ft. Collins. Says they are back ordered through April. Wasn't clear on if it was them OR line 6 that was behind. But should be back up by then lolz...

this happened to me with my HD Pro. I had to hold down the left arrow and the turn the unit on while still holding it. I cant recall if the 500 has the the arrow option but you'll probably have to do the same thing
