Thanks for that!

For me, the main purpose of my POD HD is having exactly the same tone for recording and live playing.
I have tried your tones and I wonder what guitar are you using. I am using EMGs 707 (X bridge) with mahogany body, rosewood fretboard and maple neck. Your tones sound incredibly muddy on their own, I always have to turn mid/treb/pres much, much higher.
Please, share your FAS sound with us.
What post processing do you normally use?
Bobbo, how do you pan them? How much do you cut with mid focus EQ?
I mean yours, and I have not tried Bobbo's yet due to cracked USB.My tones sound muddy or Bobbo's?

To make it clear - your soundclips sound absolutely incredible. With my guitar, the patches sound awful.
I think it is because I mostly tweak my tone on its own. Sometimes I tweak it along with my bass and drums.
Another thing is that if I want to play live, I should listen to my sound through a decent PA system.
I git a sort of over-brightening ilness. I see that people use the XXL with 57 off axis. For me, it sounds way too muddy. Recently, I have found myself using Hiway with 57 on axis, which sounds like the brightest combination.
What do you do to get rid of that annoying harsh that the Tread cabinet produces?
Hey guys, I've got some old distortion pedals I want to have a play with alongside the POD. Do you have any advice (prior to me spending 6+ hours twiddling away), when using some kind of distortion pedal into the pod ?
The way I used to do it, was to run the guitar into distortion/fuzz box - then into the amp on a clean channel and tweak until I was happy.
I'll still probably end up trying that out anyway but was just curious as to how others are messing with these things![]()
May be using my HD Pro out tomorrow night. I'm starting to RTFM, but in the interim...to go directly to PA, is there a "mode" specifically for that, use the Power Amp output setting, or what?

Awesome, thanks!No, "studio/direct". Open the link in my sig, click the first link for the tone guide, then click the pod setup section. I'd direct link you but I can't open my site at work. It explains fairly briefly the different output modes.
"Studio/Direct" is for studio or direct to board use. Essentially, all it does is enable cab/mic simulation. In the other output modes, mic modelling is disabled, and all the cab selection does is use some EQ to "voice" your tone more similarly to the speakers/cab selected.
"Power amp" means running into a guitar amp's power section and subsequently using a guitar-oriented speaker/cab, which does not reproduce the insane, harsh high-end produced by distorted amplifiers.
In all modes, "no cab" as you cab/mic selection will get you the same tone, although the front output modes also include a global EQ to voice things a bit more "acceptable" to your guitar amp's preamp.
Hey everyone, I just put this out for free so take a listen if you want. Everything used for instruments was a POD HD500. Let me know what you think, I'd give out some tones if you dig it. Really enjoying everything the POD has done for me so far Paper Cut
