Just got it and loaded some patches on it but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I'm curious though...
...do I just unplug it or...?

Yeah, unplug it and send it my way. Even though I have a Kemper, I still find myself missing some of the effects I had in my pod.
Also, the volume seems quite a bit lower than on the X3 Live
^^^ Anyone?Is it possible to pass a mixer through the HD, for multiple mics recording? And how? Or would i just make a mess?
^^^ Anyone?
PS Seems like i can't get pinch harmonics out of my dirty patches,even at quite high gain (50%+ on the high gain models).
What am i doing wrong? Frequency response problems (cab)? Or noise gate issues?
Have you experienced that? Either they don't come out at all, or they come out a little bit but very strange sounding, quirky and muffled.
Do you hook it up to a guitar amp or amp with monitor speakers?
Check the 1/4 out switch. Preferably set it to line. On amp mode it will be considerably less loud.
There's also the guitar in switch which can be set to normal or pad. Padding will boost it a bit, but in my general experience it does no good to the tone.
Hi guys,
I'm interested in getting a POD and thought I'd ask you for some recommendations.
I'm looking at used HD400 and HD500. Both reasonably priced in my opinion, the HD500 being about 200$(converted) more.
I would use it for playing at home and maybe some occasional recordings like
riff ideas and so on.
So: do you think the extra 200$ would be worth it? I'm not looking to spend too much money but you know, buy nice or buy twice.
Any tips and advice are welcome.
Thank you.

Hey guys, I would like if you could answer to one question before I sell this thing (HD500) and get my 11r back.
Is it possible to get usable live high gain/mid gain tone at all? I managed to make a few nice ones for recording and I'm satisfied but live, it's still thin. Cleans sound great live btw.
Could you share a preset or two which are set up for LIVE use only. Last night I was eaten up by the bass and cymbals because I tweaked presets on headphones.I played on Ibanez k7 which is mahogany with PAFs and it was still thin city.
I'm even considering succumbing to JCM800 models just to get my meat back. I'm a sad panda right now.
Is it possible to get usable live high gain/mid gain tone at all?
Definitely. I get a good mid gain tone using a tube power amp and guitar cab. Turn the power amp modeling off (even though it might sound better at low volume, the PA modeling makes the tone thin and wooly at band levels with my setup). Cabs off of course. My basic patches are very simple - just the recto preamp model with gain and tone to taste, and a gate. No extra EQ needed. Keep the gain under control, once you crank up you'll get it back with the low end girth intact.
That's what works for me. If you are going FRFR though, this is all worthless to you.
Should I consider rolling back firmware on my HD500? I've read somewhere that the older firmware had warmer tones?
