It's all preference. There really isn't a "better" solid state will be much lighter and cost you less over time since you won't be replacing tubes.

I'm pretty sure combo mode has a bass boost. Really you can do whatever you want. There isn't a right or wrong, but there's a chance that you could get a better tone using the "proper" setting.
Ok thanks!

as im waiting for my hd pro to come in the mail, i was reading the manual and came up with a question that hopefully ends in yes. can you use bass cab mics on the guitar cab sims? i use my real shure sm7b on my guitars all the time, and i was excited to see it listed as an option until i saw it was a bass cab mic for some reason

Ok, so a little bit has been brewing.
First thing to share is for anyone that uses my Satan HD patch. I found a way to get an even more Ola-ish tone. Record your first track with the patch unaltered, and then for the second track, turn the frequency to 92% on the Q filter. It gives you that really bright twangy/metallic string tone. Sounds so killer together.
That being said, I finally finished my Feared cover song. I just need to film my play through and it will be time for sharing. Then you can hear a sample of what I'm talking about.
Also, I'm getting close to 2200 views, and that means a new tone! I won't even cheat and use the altered Satan HD patch as the tone.

Hey Ricky, what settings would you recommend for getting a modern Deftones-ish tone?

I actually got a patch for that. A clean one that sounds lovely with dissonant chords or picking (like what you hear in "Hexagram" in the intro). And then I got two distorted patches. One is low-gain and the other is high-gain with a bit of vintage flavor to it. Roll down the volume on your guitar while playing through either and you can see how versatile they are. I can give 'em to ya.

That sounds easier than me figuring it out lol
what do you guys think of this song idea? It's something I came up with quickly and haven't finished the whole song yet.

I would appreciate/be intrested in some Deftones-ish patches. I really love Stephen Carpenters' tone and try to model a lot of my patches around his tone/ Chino's rhythm tone. I'd love to hear what you've created... I do have a high-gain dual Angel F-ball patch that I think is pretty close to what you hear on Diamond Eyes and Koi No Yokan that I'm willing to share as well...

Just made a pretty ridiculous synth tone in the POD HD500, which I'm using in the loop of my Axe-Fx. The HD500's pedal controls the Whammy on the Axe-Fx via midi

Thanks Ricky! good advice here. Although he said to switch not because of which way it was facing but because the positives/negatives were reversed. i believe he said "you've got your polarity reversed"
meh i trust you more than him!! thanks again.
positive and negative on an alternating current...
I believe the large plug is "hot" and the smaller plug is "neutral". Neutral is said to be "live" and carries current, although it is generally kept near ground potential. The "hot" is where the potential is constantly reversing, causing current to flow from hot to neutral or from neutral to hot.
The Pod HD power supply is a DC power supply designed to convert AC to DC. Since the part you plug in the outlet is AC, it doesn't matter what direction you plug it in. The transformer will supply a constant source of DC in the same direction regardless.

Alas, I wasn't able to get the HD Pro with the crazy good price that I wanted.
I will await another deal.
Soon...

so i just got my hd pro, and while its not a replacement for my mesa mark v, its definitely stopped my gas for alot of other amps and effects and is definitely an amazing tool for writing and demoing. any tips for getting rid of that high end digitally fizz i seem to get? i believe in my first patch ive gotten rid of most of it, but i had to use eq's before and after. any other useful tips?
