Detailed Model Gallery?

Recently purchased a Pod HD500 and was disappointed that the Model Gallery doesn't include much in the way of specific tech specs (eg. what frequencies the amp bass/mid/treble EQ's operate at, same for some of the Pre/EQ FX). Is this information available anywhere?

    It's not available from Line6.  And they never have offered it before.  This is assuming you haven't downloaded the models pdf which offers some of the information you're looking for but not nearly as in depth as you want. Look in the manualsdownload area if you don't have this pdf.

    in many cases it's not that simple - as you turn the knob, the center frequency may vary, or the Q may vary.  Or it may do more than EQ the tone.

     

    Best I could tell you is to run white noise through the unit and use a real-time frequency response plugin in a daw to watch as you adjust certain things.  Otherwise, you're going to have to see if the original manufacturer of the modeled gear released such specs, or just use your ears.

    With my limited knowledge of tube amps, I think that information is about the tone stack of each amp. Since almost if not all tube amps tone stacks are Passive and not active, you really should be looking for information about the tonestacks of these amps. With a passive changing any tone controll doesn't only effect that tone control, but it effects other frequencies...Anyway I found this tonestack calcutor progarm. http://www.duncanamps.com/tsc/index.html

     

    It worked on my windows XP, and it's very interesting when you run and start simulating what happen to the EQ cruve as you move the bass or treble etc. It has simulations for Marshall, Vox and Fender, but I found it very helpful in sheding some light..It took a second to download and another 2 seconds to install and run, very nice little tool...
