Looking for Jazz and Fusion sounds

[FusionDude]

I just bought a POD HD PRO X. 

I'm a jazz/Fusion guitar player. This rack has very little Jazz, fusion or chorus sounds in the presets.

 

Can anyone direct me to where I can find settings for these?

Otherwise, I'll have to experiment and experiment.

I have 25 days before I have to send this rack back to get my money back.

Thanks,

Lloyd

Hi Loyd,

Yeah jazz and fusion are less popular than higher gain sounding patches, but some exist as starting points to try on customtone.

Also search under clean.

Much will depend on if for live or not if powered speakers , PA or Amps etc.

But by far the best would be to use your own knowledge of what you like and replicate it on the HD.

Older jazz can also be gotten from some early blues patches.

Usually thick guage flat wound strings played thru older style pickups a la Joe Passe try bassman, Flat top is great with the right cabinet.

Fusion you'll get good results winding the gain on some metal patches and adding a flanger and delay.LOL I am sure there are Larry Carlton patches available which might be a good palce to start.

Experiment and post your patches. Cheers

Hopefully the HD will work out for you but there is no Roland jazz chorus amp model.

If not the the HD500x is on special and well worth it!

As Bjnette pointed you can find a lot of patches in customtone. Most of the jazz and fusion patches are made for the HD500, but these can also be used with the HD PRO X. Note that some tweaking will be necessary because you most likely have a different guitar, different strings etc. But the most important issue is, you probably have a different perception of the tone you are after.

 

Personally I mostly use the Mesa(treadplate) and Soldano(SLO) models for fusion tones and the Requisite (Vintage Pre) for Jazz. (the Vintage Pre is a preamp and can be found in the effect section under the effecttype "pre & EQ")

 

Good luck and let us know the results
