CrispyFunk Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 My buddys kid gave me his afinity squire. i love the single coil bell like tone but these stock pups are so harsh , not to mention the bridge has no tone controll to tame it. The guitar just sounded nasty through my patches it broke up on my clean patches and just had a shrill harshness overall .not anymore after i found the inputZ option. i just had to lower the Z a few notches and the patches work great the clean patches stay clean and most importantly that harsh shrill tone it had is completely gone. its sounds so different its like i went out and bought texas specials . Thank you line 6 this podhd500x is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosol_d7 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 did you put any effect on the first block? any effect? if so, which one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelForbin Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 did you put any effect on the first block? any effect? if so, which one? Cool!! Good to know that feature actually works well for someone. I messed around with it for a while, but then ended up using the variax, so I forgot all about it.. It does relate specifically to the first FX model or Amp model in the signal chain- so you may need to keep that in mind if you come up with patch variations that use different effects as the first thing in the signal chain. Also, for what it's worth, if you use single amp models, try setting input 1 = guitar, and change input 2 to variax, or something other than 'same'. When using two amp models, the 'same' feature allows you to send the single guitar signal to both amp models. If you are using just one amp model, choosing the input 2 as 'same' doubles the signal strength going to one amp model, in essence, creating an un-intended signal boost. Sounds like that could also be factoring in to what you are hearing. "Note: The Guitar In-Z setting affects the GUITAR IN input only. Please see the Impedance Ratings table at the end of this section to reference the input impedance of each individual model. • The Auto option dynamically sets the input impedance to match the input impedance of the very first Amp or FX model in your POD HD signal chain . • Or, you can manually select from a variety of impedance values from low to high (22k, 32k, 70k, 90k, 136k, 230k, 1M, or 3.5M). A lower value will typically result in some high frequency attenuation, lower gain and overall “softer†feel. A higher value provides full frequency response, higher gain and overall “tighter†feel.
