Line 6 POD HD Thread

[RickyCigs]

Thanks for the info So would the Pod HD Pro work just plugged into the computer by USB without any power amp, interface or anything I am unaware of. Does it need a power source or anything?

You have to plug its power supply in as well. USB power won't turn it on.

To be honest I'm not a fan of Dino's tone on the new album. The tread 4x12 cab sounds naked out there - way too thin on its own. This is why I like to use it paired with an xxl or hiway

Interesting interview-piece from Dino of Fear Factory if you are looking for the modern FF tone!

thanks a lot, one of my favorite band

lol isn't the thread cab on the pod the loud boomy ear piercing one ?
im guessing e.q is a must for that cab lol
agree with u on the hiwatt and engl cab though !
even the xxl cab with a ribbon mic seems to have a pretty nice effect to it

I'll be doing a Line 6 HD500 clinic for NZ's Line 6 Distributors next month. Really looking forward to it! Going to concentrate primarily on getting a good live D.I tone and how get the most out of the HD500 in a live enviroment i.e. setting up your patches and assigning multiple effects parameters to the same footswitch/expression pedal etc.

I'll also be posting a post-clinic article on a local gear nerd website, along with audio samples and patch files I create in the clinic. Will post a link up once it is done!

Today I was bored. I decided to record a cover of New Groove. I did it imperfect, I'm lazy to record it until is perfect. Just for show the tone. I'm using my Septor Pro 727 with Cepheus active. Recorded via USB. Hope you guys like it

Hey guys,
I've got my pod hd300 yesterday and even though I already tried for quite a long time, I haven't found my perfect metal tone yet :/

It seems to me, that amps like California Treadplate ergo Mesa are just too fat for the sound I want.

I'm listening to bands like Necrophagist, Obscura, Decrepit Birth and I'm playing Death most of the times.. On my crappy Digitech I think I had a sound which had a little bit more punch than the one of Death, but is just not as fat as for example Ola Englunds sounds....

Some other amps on the other hand have a way too percussive sound on the open E string (which is tuned down to D on my guitar), for my taste.

I know that Christian Münzner used a Engl amp with tubescreamer for Omnivium, but I didn't get any decent sound out of the tubedrive yet.

Most of the stuff is also pretty muddy and i haven't found the best noise gate settings either.

Any suggestions what kind of amps etc. to use?


PS: I'm playing a schecter hellraiser special, ergo active EMG pickups.

 

[Lianoroto]

Did you try changing cabs when you experimented with different amplifiers? Also, it is not such a bad idea to run an EQ infront to get rid of some mud before you apply gain to the signal.

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

Cap, please record your seminar!

 

[meambobbo]

Bringer of blood, I find the amp dep sag and cab dep decay really affect the thickness an sponginess vs percussiveness of the tone. Play with those. Also look into trying a distortion effect as a filter in front the amps. I like the tube drive, screamer, and line 6 drive the most. Line 6 drive might be best - mids changes the type of distortion you get dramatically
