Well done dude, bass tone settings and what kind of bass guitar was used?
Thanks! I used Vir2 Bassis, TSE808, GuitarRig 4.

Then you only use the POD as an interface?
No, I used the POD for recorded Guitars. All the other instruments are VSTi. I think the best result is achieved with a real Bass.
I just discovered these things yesterday and I'm pretty interested. I have my tube amp which is nice and all but I don't have all of the equipment to get a decent recording sound out of it, and if I want to change my sound at all I need to buy pedals that can range from $100-$200.
Right now I'm looking at the POD HD500X and the POD HD Pro X. Can anyone tell me the difference between these two units besides the obvious one is rack mounted and one is a pedal? Do you recommend one over the other? I'm mainly going to be purchasing for recording, practicing at night (headphones are a nice feature), and just generally finding tones I like without having to go to the store every time.
That's what I meant, you used the POD only as an interface to record guitars. You didn't use any of the amps or cabs available on the pod, right?
Translated:
Eso es lo que quise decir, utilizaste el pod solo como interfaz para grabar las guitarras. No usaste ninguno de los amplificadores o cajas disponibles en el POD, cierto?
Some people say that they can't get a decent "POD only" tone, but using some external cab sims. I think they don't spend enough time digging their tone, couse I've heard a whole bunch of amazing results coming out of the POD itself.
This thread confirms that as well.
I strongly suggest the HD500X. The only difference between the two besides one being rack-mounted is that the HD Pro X has S/PDIF input and doesn't have an expression pedal or footswitches, although you can get those by spending even more money in a floorboard.
I prefer the HD500X because it does exactly the same as the HD Pro X, brings expression pedal and footswitches, and has S/PDIF output which you will most likely use if you're connecting the POD to an interface. S/PDIF input only sounds useful if you're reamping guitars and you really like the POD models, but at the cost of an expression pedal.
How do they justify the $200 increase in price between the two models? If anything it sounds like the HD500X has more features.
I think it's possible to get a good tone using only the POD. It was a little difficult, but slowly I'm understanding how it works.
I do not know if you've heard this cover and I do not know if you used only the POD, but the mix and tone of the guitar, in my opinion, are very good. And he uses the POD HD300.

Search the web for meambobbo's Pod HD guide. And have a lot of patienceJust picked up a HD500x and an Alto TS110a. Any good resources? I'm already mildly frustrated by the POD's interface but I like some of the tones I've been able to download so far![]()

@alice AKW - would you be kind to record a quick sample with your 7 string using my new tweaked patch. I'd like to hear what it sounds like with different setups.
Believe me, I've done the comparison and has nothing more than an S/PDIF input, and, (I had forgotten) an on/off switch
For $200 more you'll look cooler because you have a rackmounted processor, without footswitches nor expression pedal, but a rack is all that a djentleman needs nowadays![]()
