Que raro! La verdad que a mi me a funcionado medianamente bien desde que lo compre ( 2 semanas atras ) . No se puede comparar al 100% con un ampli real , pero hace su trabajo .De todos las simulaciones de amplis del POD HD 500 las que si he encontrado "un poco FUZZIES " es la del JMC 800 Y la del SOLDANO SLO Drive Channel.Pero a pesar de eso , se puede trabajar con eso y con un poco de " tweaking" ya se consigue lo que se esta buscando. Utilizas audifonos o tocas atravez de un ampli?? . Que clase de pickups tiene tu guitarra?? . Pickups baratos , tienden a sonar mal y asi toques con el mejor ampli no vas a conseguir el resultado deseado .Ayudaria si pudieras subir un tono tuyo hecho en tu POD HD 500 al " customtone " para poder ayudarte y tratar de entender lo que pasa. Tambien seria bueno saber que clase de " sonidos" te gustaria crear. Veo que tu Nick es " Eterealmetal " . Supongo que el Metal es lo tuyo. Asi que con el POD HD500 pudes conseguir buenos tonos tipo METAL sin que resulten muy FUZZ o sin definicion. Espero tu respuesta con algo mas de informacion.

POR FAVOR AMIGOS AYUDENME TENGO UN POBLEMA CON MI POD HD500, LO QUE PASA ES QUE POR MAS QUE INTENTO NO PUEDO SACARLE UN BUEN SONIDO, LE FALTA MUCHA FUERZA, DEFINICION Y BRILLO, Y CUANDO PONGO DISTORSIONES HIGH GAIN SUENA HORRIBLE, CUANDO EJECUTO RIFFS LA DISTORSION TIENE UN SONIDO FUZZ, POR FAVOR AYUDENME.

The multihead delay is a stereo thru/mono effect block. What that means is that it will maintain a stereo separation through the effect block, but the effect itself is in the center of the stereo field. It's the same way it is on the M13. A comprehensive list can be found here:

did anyone notice that Multihead Delays on POD HD are mono?

is that some kind of joke?

******* POD X3 and even XT have multihead stereo delays?

so are multihead delays mono or i am stupid ?

Thanks for posting this. I already us a JTV 59 variax with VDI cabel, so what do I set channel 2 to if I have ch+ set to variax.

All the best

I do not have the problem but I have the latest firmware installed. Also I actually name a preset. Do not know if that'l make a difference. Hope so for your sake! Cheers

wow!

meambobbo, if what you say was true, that would be a BIG BUG !

from the first day I had my Pod HD, I understood his signal routing and never had a doubt that using only one input, except when othewise needed, was the way to go, so all my patches have only input 1 active when I have a simple [gtr>fx>amp>fx] setup

[EDIT: this is no longer true, see this thread http://line6.com/support/thread/90441 What every POD HD 500 owner *REALLY* needs to know! for an explanation]

when using using two parallel amps, I noticed some little phasing problems (e.g. when blending them with two volume pedals) but thought it was due to different algorithms going on on the two paths causing different latencies, wich is what also happens in real-life dual-amp setups (line 6 should introduce a sample delay function in the mixer to overcome this)

can you please tell us how did you find out this?

I found the time to do a quick test:

sine wave > audio card out > pod blank patch* > audio card in

(* with both mixer channels at unity and pan-centered)

i recorded the same thing two times one with only input 1 active (input1: guitar; input 2: variax)

and one with both inputs set to guitar

then I gave 6dB on my daw to the first one and inverted the polarity: they cancel perfectly

[EDIT: this is not exact, see my next post here: http://line6.com/support/message/405120#405120 ]

this means that the sentence: "setting Input 1 Guitar Input 2 guitar/same means that the two input signals are slightly out-of-sync" in itself is not true

to clarify, I'm not saying that what you hear is wrong, I just want to be able repeat it

hope this helps on the road to clarify the problem

ciao

sorry meambobbo I didn't come here for a long time...

I repeated the test:

sine wave > audio card out > pod blank patch* > audio card in

(* with both mixer channels at unity and pan-centered)

I recorded the same thing two times, one with only input 1 active (input1: guitar; input 2: variax) and one with both inputs set to guitar

then I gave 6dB on my daw to the first one and inverted the polarity:

well... they actually cancel QUITE perfectly; the resultant is a sine with 50dB less than the original,

but I checked the two waveforms which are exactly in phase up to the sample level,

so I think the quite-complete-cancelling could be due to a not-exactly 6dB difference and frankly I can live with that

then I did the same thing introducing a noise gate in the "pre" path with the threshold at 0% and obtained the same result

if you use a distortion with 0% drive it doesn't mean "no distortion" but "minimum distortion (for that pedal)", so halving the signal that you send at its input gives you less overdrive and doubling it gives you more overdrive that's all

BUT, and this is a BIG FAT BUT, I now agree that it's better to use a Guitar/Same input configuration

please read this thread I started:
