POD HD500

BLACKFACE Blackface 'Lux Nrm Rock 2027
chrisjw5 I've been using this for live work in a cover band. Try it. Cuts through really well for me with both singles and buckers. Set up a little dirty, it's my 'clean-ish' sound. Put a Screamer in front and it's my Crunch. Throw an OD and I can solo with it. I use it for everything from 867-5309 to Don't Stop Believing. Tom Petty, Bryan Adams, Sublime. It just worked. It cut through, it was articulate. It was great. If you're looking for a tone-for-tone cop of any of those songs, this isn't it. If you're looking for an articulate rock patch to cut through on stage, try it. I go with my HD500 right into a Tech 21 PE60 and adjust for the room with the PE60's EQ. 12/14/11
 
POD HD500

LA Metal Mick Mick Mars Girls, Girls, Girls Motley Crue Brit P-75 1180
chrisjw5 This is a v1.31 update of an earlier patch. I really like Mick Mars tone (and his playing - tasty) and wanted to capture that punchy but not overly distorted thing he's got going. Trying playing the riff to Wild Side or Kickstart with this and tell me it doesn't cut right through. 6/9/11
 
POD HD500

Randy Rhoads Randy Rhoads Crazy Train / Blizzard of Ozz Ozzy Osbourne Brit P-75 / Blackface Double Metal 3473
chrisjw5 This is about as close as I can get to Randy's tone on the new Blizzard re-release. On it's own, it's nasally... so was Randy's tone. Play it with a backing track or against the song and you'll see how close it is. Randy's was a bit smoother and if I can improve on it, I'll reload it here. I did this was a Carvin Contour 66 - a super Strat with a fairly hot bridge pickup. This tone runs at the edge of literally going off the rails. You may need to adjust the Master on the amp at louder volumes (I haven't tried it fully cranked). 6/7/11
 
POD HD500

Dave Navarro Dave Navarro Shocking/Habitual era Brit J-800 Pre Rock 572
chrisjw5 Done on a Strat with a double-blade bridge. FS1 engages the drive, FS2 engages the Comp. Both together make a great Stop! tone. Just the Comp (FS2 alone) with the amp is a dirty Been Caught Stealin' sound. Turn off both FS1 and 2 and hit FS3 and you have both a phaser and an analog chorus for that Classic Girl swirl, or the intro to Ocean Size. FS4 is a Bass Octaver if you want to do some One Hot Minute-era Chilis. 4/26/11
 
POD HD500

Sabbath Tony Iommi Black Sabbath Divide 9/15 Metal 2582
chrisjw5 This isn't my tone. Pink Panther from The Gear Page posted his settings for the HD300. All I did was create a 500 patch and upload it. The tones are all his. 4/25/11
 
POD HD500

+Fender Black Blackface 'Lux / Treadplate Pre 1438
chrisjw5 Dirtier than +Fender Deluxe, it gets into mid-gain rock territory. Think Mike Ness/Social Distortion, Neil Young/Crazy Horse. It's mid-gain Marshall with less flubbiness. I made these "+" patches so I'd have a set of default patches to use almost as a 4 channel amp. I set them up in Bank 1, channels 1-4 so I have a variety of go-to tones when I'm out. Each tone is set up with a distortion at FS1, delay at FS4 and various other FX at 2&3. Try 'em. I usually run Bank 1 as A) +Vox (or +Hiwatt) B) +Fender Deluxe, C) +Marshall D) +Mesa (or + Engl) 3/27/11
 
POD HD500

Purple Rain Prince Purple Rain Prince and the Revolution Blackface Double Funkytime 2002
chrisjw5 FS1 for solo boost, FS3 for Phaser to swirl that ending out. Hint 1: don't use the cowboy chords**. Hint 2: wear velvet. ** Bbsus x13311 G11 3x3311 F 133211 Eb xx134x F7 131211 3/23/11
 
POD HD500

+Mesa Treadplate 1012
chrisjw5 This isn't a nu-metal Mesa tone. I tried to emulate (believe it or not) Prince's tone on the YouTube video for "Guitar" (search it out, it's awesome). This is a pretty clear rock tone with some excellent crunch. I made these "+" patches so I'd have a set of default patches to use almost as a 4 channel amp. I set them up in Bank 1, channels 1-4 so I have a variety of go-to tones when I'm out. Each tone is set up with a distortion at FS1, delay at FS4 and various other FX at 2&3. Try 'em. I usually run Bank 1 as A) +Vox (or +Hiwatt) B) +Fender Deluxe, C) +Marshall D) +Mesa (or + Engl) 3/19/11
 
POD HD500

+Engl Angel F-Ball Pre 952
chrisjw5 Note: This isn't a metal type Engl. The gain is fairly low (which is still a lot) so chords articulate. Think Dean DeLeo. you can still hear a 9th on a chord. I made these "+" patches so I'd have a set of default patches to use almost as a 4 channel amp. I set them up in Bank 1, channels 1-4 so I have a variety of go-to tones when I'm out. Each tone is set up with a distortion at FS1, delay at FS4 and various other FX at 2&3. Try 'em. I usually run Bank 1 as A) +Vox (or +Hiwatt) B) +Fender Deluxe, C) +Marshall D) +Mesa (or + Engl) 3/19/11
 
POD HD500

+Marshall Brit J-800 Pre 981
chrisjw5 Note: this is a lower-to-mid gain Marshall. For higher gain, look for my +Mesa or +Engl patches. I made these "+" patches so I'd have a set of default patches to use almost as a 4 channel amp. I set them up in Bank 1, channels 1-4 so I have a variety of go-to tones when I'm out. Each tone is set up with a distortion at FS1, delay at FS4 and various other FX at 2&3. Try 'em. I usually run Bank 1 as A) +Vox (or +Hiwatt) B) +Fender Deluxe, C) +Marshall D) +Mesa (or + Engl) 3/19/11

Model Packs increase the number of Amp or FX Models of a GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt, PODxt Live or PODxt Pro, for a wider variety of tone possibilities. When a particular tone in the library relies on a Model available in one of these packs, you'll see symbol(s) to indicate which Packs: MS (Metal Shop), CC (Classics Collection), FX (FX Junkie), and PP (Power Pack).

The models within the FX Junkie Model Pack are already included in PODxt Live, and offered for purchase to add-on to GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt and PODxt Pro.

Variax is the uniquely flexibile guitar from Line 6. Our Vetta II amplifier includes a digital connection for the Variax that lets you store settings for both your amp and your guitar in the Vetta II so that when you call up a Vetta Channel Memory your amp and guitar can change sounds together. Vetta II Tones marked with this guitar symbol include this Variax data.

For each tone in the library, you'll see an icon for either a single coil or humbucker pickup. This tells you whether the tone is best for use with a single coil pickup or a humbucker, so you can select the appropriate pickup on your guitar when using this tone.

Attention POD 2.0, Flextone and HD147 owners... Your hardware doesn't do Stomp effects, so you'll hear something different than what was intended. Try increasing the Drive or choose a higher gain Amp Model to get the right sound. The other aspects of the sound should translate as expected, so you'll at least get a great starting place for tweaking.
