Do you guys think i could get anywhere near John petrucci's tone if i get a POD HD 500x?
thanks in advance :]
Got my HD500 today, going to put it through it's paces tomorrow.
One thing I'm curious about is using Impulse responses with it in a DAW.
I assume if I run it into, say, Cubase and load up the IRs with something like Lecab, I can hear all the playing in real time as I play the guitar? Rather than having to record the POD and then add the impulse after?
It's probably a silly and obvious question but i'm totally new to impulses.
Having a little trouble getting impulses to work with this thing while I play it.
I can get them working fine with recorded tones but I can't get it so I hear the impulse in action as I play.
Using Cubase 5.
Any advice?
So, I've got a POD 2.0 right now, and I kind of want to upgrade. I'm looking to start recording stuff, and wanted a better tone. I play (mostly) on 8 strings and play styles from Melodic Death to clean proggy-goodness like a STS clean passage. I'm looking at used HD400s and 500s. From what I can tell, the main differences is that the 500 has more inputs, twice as long as a loop time (doesn't matter, I have a looper), and can run 8 (rather than 4) pedals (for lack of better terms) at the same time? I'm finding 400s for ~$200, and would rather go for that than the 500 at $300, unless sound quality is that much better. So, is there any differences other than what I've said above?
TL;DR - Is the sound quality on the 500 very superior to the 400?
EDIT: If somebody could also tell me what the POD Pro (and XT Pro) is, and where it fits with what I've said above, that'd be stellar.
Yeah saw it earlier and downloaded all the manuals for it. Was getting really psyched reading up on it... but then I saw that it doesn't have the ability to carry over delay and reverb decay while switching patches. I mean wtf? It has a feature called "Trails" that keeps the decay going when switching the effects off, and even has a cool feature to just shutoff the loop send so external effect tails can decay, but it specifically says it does not work when switching presets. Bummer.
I was thinking of maybe returning the GT-10 and giving this a shot but I hate to lose features.
Rev.

I have had my pod HD PRO for a while.... THis issue never bothered me or became prevalent.... Until you mentioned it....
Damn you Jack Sparrrrooooooooooowwww!!!!!!!!!!
Well I am snowed in for the weekend so I can figure out how to remedy this.....
I seem to have a problem finding any info on this:
Are the amp packs linked to the device or the account, or both?
I'm pretty sure its bound to your Line 6 account, but I'm not 100% sure :/
