Is there a POD equivalency guide?

Just got my HD500 yesterday (woo hoo!) and now I begin the arduous task of going through all my carefully crafted tones in the UX2 and recreating them in the HD. Is there any kind of guide that will help with this, something that shows for example: ..."Amp XYZ" in the HD500 is the same as (or similar to) "Amp 123" in the UX2... ?

 

If not, then could anyone tell me which HD500 amp is closest to the 'Solo 100 Head' in the UX2 (just the head, no cabinet/mic)?

 

I was hoping the HD500 would have it among the models, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

    Re: Is there a POD equivalency guide?

    The POD HD is a completely different design to it's predecessors and there is no direct mapping of one amp/effect to another, I'm afraid.  Other people who have upgraded from older PODs have initially found this frustrating but seem to have got the best results by starting again from scratch.   Try searching for 'POD XT' within the POD HD forum and you will see some of the tales.

     

    Small comfort when you have a bunch of sounds that you love on your old rig but many of those people are very happy with the upgrade.   Or at least their posts on this forum would suggest so !

    I too miss the Soldano...

     

    I have been using the Engle mostly...It needs a little help and I like using the Vinatage Pre to push it a little bit...The Engle seems to have better string tone in the noonish area...I just push the model a bit...and there's a little breakup in the vinatage pre...
