POD HD500

TapeEchoLuv Jimmy Page Whole Lotta Love Led Zeppelin Super O / Super O Rock 1430
ricksox For this tone I wanted to see how close I could get to the classic Jimmy Page sound on Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love”. If you know the main lick, play it and let me know what you think. I dialed this in using a dual humbucker guitar with the guitar in the bridge position. I went directly into the guitar input on my Pod HD 500 multi-effects processer and set the output mode to Studio Direct. This is a dual tone which I panned 50% hard left and right from the mixer block in the POD. I went with the Super O amp model on the POD which is based on* the Supro®S6616. Jimmy Page confirmed that he used a Supro in the studio on most of the Led Zeppelin and Led Zeppelin II albums but he never said which one. I think this little amp sounds pretty close though. I went with the Tape Echo model here as it’s well known that Jimmy used the EP-3 quite a bit live. Time is set to 160ms, Feedback to 20%, Bass 48%, Treble 50%, and Mix at 20%. 6/7/11

TubeEchoLuv Jimmy Page Whole Lotta Love Led Zeppelin Super O / Super O Rock 837
ricksox This is pretty much the same exact tone as my TapeEchoLuv tone, accept I tweaked the drive parameter a bit on Amp 2 bringing it down to 11% and instead of using the Tape Echo model, I went with the Tube Echo delay. The Tube Echo has an added Wow/Flutter parameter that literally represents analog tape flutter or “frequency wobble” as a result of the tape working its way through the reels. Really cool! It also has a Drive parameter that will add a bit more bite to your tone as you raise it. Time is set to 160ms, Feedback to 20%, Wow/Flutter to 25%, Drive to 10% and mix to 20%. 6/7/11
 
POD HD500

RunRunRun David Gilmour Run Like Hell Pink Floyd Hiway 100 Art Rock 1079
ricksox This is a tone I created nased off of David Gilmour’s tone in the Pink Floyd song “Run Like Hell”. I used the Hiway 100 amp model here and had to add an Analog Chorus effect to get that drippy lush sound he accomplished for the intro. I find that playing this tone with the pickup selector in the neck position sounds the best. 7/15/11

NumbSolo David Gilmour Comfortably Numb Pink Floyd Hiway 100 Art Rock 1722
ricksox A tone inspired by the solo in Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb”. I’m using the same Hiwayy 100 model here with the drive dialed up a bit. Again, I feel like using the neck pickup here sounds best. The Hall reverb really adds that nice ethereal sound. One thing I noticed about the Echo Platter delay model is that unlike other tape delays, it doesn’t give you a “reverby” type effect mixed with delay. Later models of the Echorec included some reverb options. 7/15/11

Foo Fighters EL Miller Style Dave Grohl Everlong Foo Fighters Treadplate Hard Rock 3172
Line 6 Here's a decent FF tone. May be a good starting point. Used a Schecter C1 Classic Diamond Series guitar with dual humbuckers. Switch selector in the middle position. 4/7/11

AnalogEchoSlap Blackface Double 460
ricksox The Analog Echo delay model is great for a slap-back type effect a la Stray Cats, rockabilly, etc. For this tone I used the same guitar with humbuckers. This tone uses the Blackface Dbl Nrm amp model and I panned the POD HD500 mixer to dead center (as I do with most of my single tone patches). The Analog Echo parameters are different here. I set the delay time to 100ms and set the feedback to 30%. Mix is also at 30%. I took the bass parameter down a bit to 40%. Treble is at an even 50%. 5/24/11

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.
