Tube Preamp into POD HD

support@line6.com — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:53:41 GMT

I'm pretty sure this works, but just want to check before doing it.

Is it possible to go from the output of a tube preamp to the guitar in on a POD HD, load an amp and cab with EQ etc turned off to reduce any sound colouring, and then go from the POD into a PA for gigging or an audio interface for DI recording?

Ah good thinking! I tried the tube compressor on its own and didn't like the sound, but a noise gate may well fix it.

Haha no worries. The level's still a little low, but I should imagine that's just down to me having to keep the amp turned down at the moment!

Ah! The mic gain wasn't up very high! Thanks. And luckily the SM57 doesn't need phantom power.

Microphone through POD HD500?

I'm currently trying to record into Logic through my HD500 and getting no sound coming through in Logic; the setup is SM57 > POD Mic In > USB out > Logic.

Is there anything I need to do on the POD to get this to work? I've set the input as Mic, but other than that I've got no idea what I'm doing wrong!

Thanks!

Ah right! I think I should be able to get it to work how I want then.

Thanks!

Re-amping Via the CD/MP3 In?

support@line6.com — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 21:20:51 GMT

I'm just wondering if it's possible to record a dry guitar signal, run it from the computer to the POD's CD/MP3 in, and then run the POD into an amp, essentially re-amping the signal with a real amp?

I should add, this is with a POD HD500, I don't know if the 300 and 400 models have the CD/MP3 in!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers!

I had a similar problem, I found pressing undo after recording got rid of it, so I'm guessing the looper sometimes records an extra bit after you've finished recording.

Give it a try!

What rig were you using on it? I've used both an X3 and an HD500, and the HD is miles better in my opinion.

If you're going into the return of your amp, the best bits of advice I can give are:

1) Use preamp models.

2) Put the drive on the amp models to 50% and then put a screamer in front of them (I usually put drive to 50%, tone to 0%, and bass, treble and output to 100%).

3) Turn all cabs off.

4) Make sure the tones you use aren't panned left or right at all (unless you're using a stereo setup or have a specific reason for panning them).

5) Put a compressor after the mixer.

Good luck!
