Re: Choosing Headphones and Amp to Use With POD HD500

Thanks Jim. You seem to be the only helpful one around here.

I'm definitely looking into the DT 770's, AKG 702's, and Sennheister 25-1 II's now. Hopefully I'll be able to try before I buy...

Thanks again for the help man. Peace!

Bumperooni. Headphone suggestions guys? I'm making my purchase soon. Can someone please take the time to check out my list and/or add to it?

Well I'll be damned! I knew you could do a lot with the POD, but holy **** man... does it go to work and do the dishes too?

I'll definitely consider that option then. Plus, it'll save me $100 not buying the Morley.

You don't per chance have a headphone/amp preference do you? Now that I've got the gist of my rig figured out, I'd like to see some opinions rolling in.

Here's a list I've compiled thus far:

1. Sennheister HD280 PRO

2. Sony MDR-7506

3. Audio-Technica ATH-M50

4. AKG K 272 HD

5. AKG K702

I understand that what I'm looking for is a flat response and (obviously) quality sound. Out of these, which would you suggest? I'm trying to keep the price as low as I can without sacrificing too much quality, if you dig what I'm screamin'. I'm sure the AKG K702's are AMAZING, but I'm not so sure about forking over $280 for a pair of headphones (PLUS the cost of the headphone amp).

What do you guys think?

By the way, if you have alternate suggestions, don't be afraid to toss them out there.

Yeah man, I'll be using the Roland GK-3 pickup. I thought about using the FX loop, but I'm not entirely sure how it works...

I would assume that I couldn't use the GR-55 by itself if I went that route, correct?

I like the idea of the Morley 'cause I can switch/combine everything right there. Would I be more limited if I used the FX loop?

A hell of a lot cheaper! But I'm still anticipating the day I can afford a full FRFR setup. Surrounded by QSC K12's and subwoofers... Heaven.

Anyways, I gotta stop dreaming. Since I'll be using a synth as well as the HD500, I'll just plug into the AUX input on the CUBE instead of using the guitar input. It's much flatter (obviously, since the AUX input bypasses the pre-amp), and it will also free-up another channel of modeling from the CUBE. If you notice the diagram I posted above, I'll be able to switch from the HD500, to the GR-55, and the CUBE preamp, as well as combine them. I can't wait to see what I can all do!

...I will likely suffer an aneurysm from the excitement.

Now if I could just get some headphone suggestions, I would be all set...

Thanks for the reinforcement of the CUBE. I've heard from many sources it's a great little powerhouse for modeling and synth pedals.

Hey dudes.

First let me describe my gear. I'm getting a JTV-69, a POD HD500, and a Roland GR-55. I'll most likely be using the AUX input on the Roland CUBE-80XL for the pedals (through an ABC selector/combiner switch), and the guitar out from the GR-55 directly into the guitar in on the CUBE.

Here's a demonstration:

What do you think? Eventually I'll have enough dough to get a couple QSC K12's, but in the meantime, something cost-effective will have to do.

However, I was also wondering about some headphone suggestions. I understand you want to use something fairly flat? Any opinons on the Audio Technica ATH-M50's? I've also heard good things about the Sony MDR-7506's and Sennheiser HD280 Pro's.

What do you think would work best with my rig?

Thanks!

*facepalm* DERP.

Thanks player99... Sometimes the best solution is the most obvious one. If you need me, I'll be in the corner kicking myself in the head.

Okay, well in that case, I no longer wish to replace my neck. I am just plain CURIOUS about the dimensions of the neck pocket.

Maybe they wouldn't have to worry about replacement parts if they made it right in the first place...

Hello?

Does customer support even look at these forums? All I need to know is the dimensions of the neck pocket and/or what Warmoth necks will fit the guitar.
