Line 6 POD HD Thread

[RickyCigs]

No need for a converter, you can just drag and drop the patches in a user slot of POD HD Pro Edit. Try Ricky's MudBognering, it sounds quite good!

My patches are for an hd500, so no. You can't just drag them into hd pro edit. You need the converter.

But thank you.

Awesome I'm definitely going to check out some of those patches when I get home from work tonight. While I realize you can get good tones out of it, it just seems like it's way more difficult than it should be. If I were to plug into any one of those high gain amps it's modeling, I guarantee I could quickly find a decent sound. I've never used any amp where I had to use like six different equalizers to get a good tone, you know what I mean?

I never have to use more than two eq's. the main problem is the attack of the amps without a boost and the cab modeling.

Here's a tip that will make tweaking easier, take the Q filter settings from one of the patches I posted, and out that in front of any amp/patch you make.

Also, check out my patch video. I guarantee you'll learn something. My YouTube link is in my sig.

Yea the video was quite helpful, thanks! Do you ever run an overdrive for your patches, or just stick with the EQs? If I were to use an overdrive, should I EQ before or after? Also I was wondering say if you had a patch for recording with the cab emulation all dialed in if you just turned off the cab emulation should it theoretically sound good through a power amp and cab?

If I wanted to go buy a POD HD pro and use it connected to my computer and to record, what all would I need to buy? As I said, I'm very clueless when it comes to all this digital stuff.

Just connect the pod directly to your computer via USB for the simple method.

Im assuming I would need some monitors in order to get a good sound correct? And are there good free recording programs or is that another thing I would have to figure into the cost?

 

[Nemonic]

Definitelly buy monitors and do not go with headphones.

What would be 2 good monitors that don't break the bank?

You would need a guitar! LOL!

Man, why don't you post your budget in currency of your country?
Do you mean 2000$?

The Q filter IS the overdrive.

And yes. As long as your cab sounds good, it will sound good. Not identical, but that can be easily fixed. When your not using cab simulation you don't need a dual amp patch so that frees up a lot of dsp. Then you can add whatever you need to adjust your tone.

What are people here using for clean tones? I am getting some nice sounds out of the Blackface twin.

Just sold my rig and got an Hd pro... I was sketchy about it but it sounds AWESOME!

I like the Vox models for cleans. Bobbo's Periphery clean patch was a great starting point for me.

My patches are for an hd500, so no. You can't just drag them into hd pro edit. You need the converter.

But thank you.

You can drag 'n drop patches that were designed for a hd bean or a hd500 unit into HD pro edit, absolutely no need for a converter. That,s how I do it and it's working perfectly. These 3 devices are using the same software/models so that makes sense as to why you wouldn't need a converter. I couldn't do that with patches designed for hd300/400 units though.

It doesn't always work as the hd500/bean/pro are all different hardware and have some slightly different options. This has been covered numerous times in the last 100+ pages on this thread.

Well just to clear things up, I guess people covering this in the last 100+ pages were doing sth wrong. It worked flawlessly for the 300+ Bean/HD500 patches I downloaded for my HD Pro. Never ran into any compatibility issues. You just have to drag n' drop the patch file directly into a slot in HD Pro Edit. But for some reason you can't import the patch through the file/open menu.

another bug also is sometimes the patch will come up but the DEP settings are all out of wack.When i downloaded meambobbo setlist it had everything set at 12 o clock including the low pass

I'm hearing conflicting things now. Can the HD pro be plugged in directly to the computer via USB or no? Someone told me yes and another said no, I would still need an interface.
