Sorry I should have specified. This is going Studio Direct through a couple of nearfiled monitors so I have no topology.

This is what I did too. I'm using the SLO crunch and the screamer. But I really have difficulties do find the good parameters for the phaser and delay. The delay is really a nightmare for me. To create a patch for Ain't talkin' 'bout love, it's necessary to put the time to 300ms but I can't find the good echo sound. I played around with all delay models, feedback, mix, and so on but the result is not good. Well, the echo doesn't sound good for me until now.

Also, what topology are you using with the SLO?

I've just updated it about an hour ago. Near midnight here and I cannot really get it pumping, but have come up with a patch based on the crunch model that I think sounds great. I went with topology IV and as I am using it with the DT-25 I have removed the cab.

Can't wait for morning so that I can give it a run at gig level!

I installed the updates last night and although I could only use hook up the HD500 to my mixing desk at home and use head phones, I'm pretty delighted with the new Soldano amp models, once again, many thanks Line 6 for another grand update. Of course I set it all up with cabs on and Studio direct. Looks like I can start recording again.

Tonight and tomorrow I am gigging so I will provisionally set up the same bank of 4 patches I normally use (copy the bank) and replace them with the PRE versions of the Soldano and see what I get with the DT50 head. I expect a little volume balancing but I reckon I can have a good sound before the end of the first set. The venue I'm playing tonight is very cramped and not many attend (usually) so I can place my amp head right next to me on the top of a pool table for easy 'on the fly' tweaking and a quick bend down to hit the save button. I knew there was a darn good reason for buying the head instead of a combo.

Any advice on which topology would suit the 3 Soldano Pre amps whould be most welcome, I have provisionally selected II

Thanks Line 6

Interesting, that's how I got my early EVH sound on my X3 live. So I've gotten close with my HD500 but the Soldano is slightly different in the 500 and I've only had time to try to get it with the crunch Soldano. My X3 Live sound was SPOT on and took me years to get. One main "trick" to getting it is adding a "screamer" before the amp. That's how I got it on the X3. Was playing around with the Soldano and just happened to put the "screamer" on it. BAM, instant EVH. Did have to do a little tweaking but I finally got it Add some script phaser every now and then, some echo and some reverb and mix well. Don't go too crazy with the drive on either the "screamer" or amp. It'll be too much. And this is using the Les Paul bridge pickup on a Variax.

Here's the Pod HD discussion forum - it's more active than this user group. There's plenty of chatter about the new update here:

I haven't heard an update on this topic lately, but I fired up Line 6 Monkey last night and saw that there was a new firmware update available.

After updating, I checked the available amps, and there were the three Soldano models, along with two new hi-gain Line 6 models!

I'm surprised I haven't seen any posts from HD500 users about finally having these amps.

The firmware update page for the HD 300 / HD 400 now says "Coming soon to the HD 500" ... Excellent news! Can't wait! This is why I love Line 6. The products sound fantastic and they actually listen to their customers. Almost everyone in the "vote for you new favorite HD models" threads have said Soldano SLO 100. So to them and Line 6 I say THANK YOU! I will patiently wait!
