Re: Tones for Rocksmith?

For the PS3, you set up the tv with hdmi or component. Then use the RCA audio (analog) outputs on the PS3 into an analog stereo system. That way you bypass the digital conversion with the HDMI or ADAT outputs. This is a bit of a pain in the *** for me, but it did make the game at least playable.

I tried it on my PC last night with the Steam demo and it was terrible. I didn't realize it required me to use the USB cable still, which sucks. I was hoping to just use my low latency inputs on the POD or UX8 alone. When I have time again tomorrow I'm going to install ASIO4ALL and use that with the USB cable to see how it works. It's kind of ridiculous that Ubisoft didn't supply ASIO drivers for the cable. The alternative I've seen is to use a Y cable to send the guitar to the game via the USB cable, but set the guitar's game volume to 0. Then use PodFarm or whatever for your guitar sound on the 2nd input. Assuming this all works, I'll probably send my PS3 version back and use the PC version. Then I can use my laptop and make it portable.

Tones for Rocksmith?

I just got UbiSoft's Rocksmith for the PS3 and am finding the latency pretty hard to play with. So I was thinking of using my Pod HD 500 to play the guitar along with the PS3 to avoid the problem. The thing is, the songs all have particular tones built into them. I was just wondering if anyone has considered making a set of tones for this purpose?

The initial tracklist is here:

Though they have a lot of DLC now too.

Tone testy tastiness?

support@line6.com — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:07:17 GMT

Updated the FW on the HD500 and thought I'd sit down and record something. Haven't recorded in like a year and when I did I was using dry tones then PodFarm2 to make the tone. FIgured I'd get some "wet" tones from the HD and see how it fared.

Any suggestions on improving the tone? This is the Mesa Boogie with a couple different cabs and mics. Drums were from Native Instruments Modern Drummer. I normally use Superior Drummer 2, but the snare is kinda disappointing. Bass was with Native Instruments Scar Bee MM or something. Just trying out the MIDI bass.

I've bought and resold a bunch of their stuff so I could get a LA 610 MKii for free. They've bumped the prices up a tad so it's not really worth the time anymore though.

FYI for anyone curious-here's the final response:

The Spider Valve Mk II series uses a Custom Line 6 Impulse at the XLR direct output when in Standby mode. When not in standby mode, it uses the same custom impulse along with the speakers feedback tapped from the transformer to act like its own mic at the speakers and sends that signal out to the XLR direct output.

Best regards,

Awesome. Thanks!

Mic preamp vs Line In "color"

support@line6.com — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:39:15 GMT

I've got a Toneport UX8 and recently picked up a UA LA610 MKii. At first I was plugging it into the Line In and it sounded terrible. Eventually I realized that the Line In was actually unbalanced and that was the root of my problem. So now I plug my MKii into the Mic input on the UX8 and everything works fine.

My question is, I'm wondering how much "color" the Mic Preamp is adding to my signal compared to using a balanced Line In? Since I'm trying to get the best sound quality, I hate to run a really nice preamp into a "meh" mic preamp. It seems like it would be imparting any negative qualities of the UX8 preamp on to my signal, thereby defeating the purpose.

Thoughts on this?

Re: Suggested power amp for using POD HD live

support@line6.com — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:47:54 GMT

Pick up a used Line 6 Spider Valve HD100 and use the effects loop return for your power amp. It's 100W, tube, and you can even use the Master Volume on stage instead of your Pod. Works like a charm!

Plus, if you get the newer one (mkii), you can use MIDI to control the head and use a completely different patch from the floorboard vs the head. That might be nice to get a good mix for the soundguy while having your stage setup tuned for live use.

Re: Can POD HD PRO midi control HD100 mkii?

support@line6.com — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:09:34 GMT

Got my new MIDI cable and verified that you can change banks and patches on the Pod HD500 floorboard and have it automatically switch on the HD100 MKii.

Other things like pedal on/off and wah stuff will need to be set up in HD Edit from what I can see. It should be possible though, because the HD500 can send the appropriate control messages.

The Pro should be no different.

Seems kinda handy. I think the best use for me would be to start/stop a recording program like Reaper. Can it do this? It's a huge pain to have to stop the recording by hand if you're across the room in the "quiet" spot of the house.
