    Re: Pod HD High Gain Tone Guide

    LIne 6 recommends to recal the pedal and reset the globals after a flash memory update.

    I still have the weird problem of my editor not seeing the last driver files I installed, I end up reinstalling them at least half the time when I log in. Must be my PC so I just deal with it.

    Re: Pod HD High Gain Tone Guide

    Thank you ver very much for this!

     

    I should admit I've almost never done a donation in my entire life for such things on the internet but it really deserved it and I'm happy for trying to help you out.

    It's nothing next to your work done there but hope it helps.

     

    Cheers,

    Meambobbo,

     

    I haven't spent much time on this yet - I have just read the Introduction section and quickly scanned the Quick Guide topics. I can already see an improvement in the organization of the document as well as the overall 'look & feel'. I think the navigation is easier.

     

    I want to thank you again for the many, many hours you must be spending on this for the benefit of the community.

     

    I have made another donation to your efforts, and I encourage everyone who has received value from your work to consider making a contribution. A lot of small amounts will add up to a total that may encourage Meambobbo to continue his work.

     

    Thanks Meambobbo.

    Re: Pod HD High Gain Tone Guide

    I was thinking about the problem of using the POD through an amp without effects loop, where there is only one "guitar in" and we can't avoid the colorization of the sound by the preamp since we can't bypass it. I was wondering if anybody has found an amp setting (drive, bass, mid, treble) that minimizes the interference and produces a good sound???

     

    Then I came up with something else. I know it is highly unorthodox but it's all about experimenting, right? Most of the new small practice amps (e.g. Line6 Spider IV 15) have a "MP3/Line in" which is not affected by the amp settings. I connected the signal from the POD's "Phones" jack to the "Line in" of the combo amp so basically the amp served only as a speaker for the sound I normally get to my earphones! I know this is not in any way a proper or recommended way to connect your POD but I'm curious if anybody else has ever tried the same. The result was very loud (much more than the usual connections) which was not that big a problem but unfortunately the sound also had a lot (I mean A LOT) of bass and it was not particularly pleasant to the ears. Any ideas how the bass could be globally reduced so as to avoid having to manually alter every patch? Thanks!

    Re: Pod HD High Gain Tone Guide

    meambobbo!  I will check out the new guide ASAP - thanks again!

     

    In the mean time, I have been experimenting with cabs in combination with the Mesa amp model (using the HD300) and I got a great tone with the Hiway.  However, I ended up switching to the Tread V-30 for the following reason: the Hiway (and also the XXL) both get "bogged down" by my tone.  I like the effect on distortion of having a slightly bassy input to the amp, courtesy of the active EQ on my EMGs.  However, the result through the Hiway is rather like a "duck" effect which muffles the next note.  It makes me wonder if the the Mesa cab was specifically designed to cope with the sort of brutal chugs that their amps encourage you to make!

     

    Here are two audio clips to demonstrate what I mean.  Oddly, the effect sounds far less pronounced when you make a recording of it than when you are playing.  Weird!

    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1670628/Tread.mp3

     

     

    The Tread clip sounds much smoother.  One thing I have not been able to try yet is to see how they  sound when ramped up in volume on a PA.

    One formatting suggestion would be to adjust the text color from pure white to a slightly darker white/light gray (#DDD for example). The pure white with black background is a little fatiguing on the eyes when reading for long periods.
