Line 6 POD HD Thread

[Captain Butterscotch]

Yeah, I would definitely pay money for a 5150 model; my favorite lead tones have been from the 6505+ I used to have.

Im still crossing my fingers for a friendly way to use custom IR's

That's my dream ...

 

[MrPepperoniNipples]

A Soldano would be nice too.

I liked the Solo-100 and Modern Hi-Gain

Pod HD bean/Pro users: let's ask Line6 a HD model of 5150!!! Maybe featured in future firmwares!!

Job done!

Yep. I wouldn't even consider AMT as an alternative if I could I load IRs. The Uber can get close to a 5150.

Hey for my ENGL lead tone if legato isn't cutting through try turning off the gate, adding a compressor before the amp or boosting mids via a mid focus or parametric eq in front the amp which should get less bite and attack to the tone

I know some people are using boosts like graphic EQ or TC integrated preamp before their POD XT Pro's.
Can it also be applied to POD HD or is it not necessary any more?

 

[meambobbo]

most of the high-gain models have PLENTY of gain available, so I don't imagine you'd need a boost there. pre-EQ'ing the distortion tone can almost always help draw out some desirable tonal nuances. The Pod HD has EQ's and distortion effects you can place before the amp that can get you there, and they are programmable per patch. Some have claimed the distortion effects aren't good, others have claimed they are incredibly accurate. I can't say, but I do find they work well.

If you have an HD300/400, you may want to consider getting an EQ or distortion pedal to place before the Pod HD, as those models can only use a single EQ or distortion effect, and if you use it as your boost/pre-EQ, you can't use any EQ after your amp.

Highly reccommend these IR's, they sound phenominal with the pod

As much as I love djent

Any chance someone can do a J-800 clip in the flavour of something 80's?

Motley, Poison, G 'n R, etc...

The HD Experts in this thread have come to the conclusion that the best thing to do for clean patches is not use an amp and just use EQ and whatever reverb you want to adjust the tone to what you want

But I'm not one of these alleged experts, I'm just reporting

^ No amp is a popular option as Pepperoni Nipples pointed out.
I like the blackface normal channel model for cleans. I use it with the hiway cab and sm57.

For spacey stuff I have the dimension effect with everything set to "on" and the mix at 100% into a subtle phaser. Then the cave reverb at the end.
