POD HD500

RawStereoDly Blackface Double Nrm Various 333
ricksox There’s nothing fancy here. This tone is just a Blackface Dbl Norm amp model and a single Stereo Delay Effect. It sounds great if you have a guitar with humbuckers set to the neck pickups. If you’re a finger style guitarist then this tone can work very well for you. The Left Time parameter is set to about 255ms and I have the right side set to dotted ¼ notes. The Left Feedback parameter is at 60% while the right side Feedback is set to 65%. I have the delay Mix set to 60% as well. 10/27/11

MakeItRain PhD Motorway Trippy 598
ricksox For this tone I wanted something a little unusual. It may not be a sound many of you can use regularly but I think it could make for a good effect in a small part of a song…maybe an intro for example. The trick to this tone is to hang out on the high E and the B strings. Experiment with letting notes sustain around the 12th fret. The effect should sound sparkly and a bit wobbly due to the Wow/FLT being set so high. I find that letting the notes sustain for as long as possible really make this tone shine. I’m using the PhD Motorway amp model based on* the DrZ® Route 66 amp. The Drive is set fairly high to 67% but you can tweak to taste. I’ve got the Time parameter on the Tube Echo delay model set to 260ms. The Feedback is up pretty high at 75%. I really crank the Wow/FLT parameter on this patch for that extra “wobble”. It’s set to 65%. Drive is set to 0% and Mix is way up at 75%. Have fun with this one. 6/7/11

DynaSlap500 Blackface Double Nrm Slap Back Rockabilly 487
ricksox The Dynamic Delay effect model allows you to dial in a great slap back delay type tone. I’d venture to say this slap back tone sounds almost as good as some of the other slap back delays I dialed in with the Analog Delay and Echo Platter models. I’m using the Blackface Dbl Nrm amp model here as it’s one of my favorite models and really makes the slap back tone sound great. 8/22/11

TubeEchoSlap Blackface Double Rockabilly / Slap back 677
ricksox I know I already created a slap back delay type tone in my last blog but the Tube Echo model is really the perfect delay to use for this. Both Chet Atkins and Les Paul’s tones became synonymous with this slap back sound. I’m using the Blackface Dbl Nrm amp model for this with the Drive parameter turned all of the way down. I made some minor adjustments to the amp’s EQ but for the most part I left everything else alone. The Time on the delay is set fairly low to 100ms. Feedback is at 25%, Wow/FLT is set to 30%, Drive is at 0%, and I’ve got the Mix set to 35%. 6/7/11

DynaTrails500 Super O Rock 355
ricksox I love the little Super O model on the POD HD multi-effects processors. If you’ve been reading my blogs you already know this. This particular amp model breaks up beautifully when you drive it and in my opinion, is very easy to dial in. This tone highlights the Ducking and Threshold parameters on the Dynamic Delay effect model. When I attack a note you can hear the delay duck a bit. This would be a good tone for a softer intro in a song, right before it explodes! 8/22/11

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

MissileCrisis King Missile Blackface Double Rock 498
ricksox In 1992 a band by the name of King Missile released an album entitled “Happy Hour” the band had a modest hit single on this album about the singer (John Hall) losing a certain ahem, body part after a night of partying. If you have no idea what I’m talking about just Google the band and you’ll get it. I actually stumbled across this tone on accident while trying to build some other tones for this blog. It’s a simple crunch guitar with a fairly long time signature Mult-Head delay effect. I threw an Overdrive effect before the amp in the chain and capped the signal chain off by adding a 4 Band Shift EQ. I actually think I came pretty close with this one and if you play the riff right you can see for yourself. 7/1/11

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.
