joeypinter Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 hi, i'm don't know if i'm in the correct forum or not but here goes. i have that very cool mounting bracket that allows me to securely put my POD HD on my desktop or there are two "nuts" that allow mounting on a mic stand, this is all very handy, however, when the unit is mounted on the mic stand it can get a bit hairy with other people around, i.e. not paying attention. i have noticed on the bottom of the pod there are 4 very small holes that look like one can screw the bracket more securely than the 4 rubber feet. my question is, are these holes tapped? and if they are what size screw would work? i can see the screws would be at least 1 inch long with a washer. so, does anyone know what i'm talking about? thanks jp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I know exactly what you are talking about. I took one of the rubber feet to the hardware store bought bolts, washers and nuts (I can't tell you the size as its been over a year). Screwed them in the bracket and put electrical shrink tubing over the threads. I use the amp handle of a Tech 21 Power Engine 60 in lieu of the mic stand. You could probably use a couple of the thin velcro cable ties to really secure the Bean to the mount and stand, if onltyfor peace of mind. :) -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypinter Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 hey, great idea, i've been thinking about using a tech amp myself, however, i've been playing for so long it's hard for me to change. but if i look at it with an open mind there is no amp that i can get to sound like i do with the POD. in august i released a solo record and used it on every guitar track including bass and acoustic. i've owned or used just about every amp ever made at one time or another but i have to always compromise, saying, that's as good as i can get. i never, ever use those box's on the floor, i control the sound with the guitar and my hands. also, the settings i use on the POD rarely have any effects except reverb. there are a few settings i use for everything. anyway, thanks for the idea. jp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olequijote Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I know this is an old topic, but I got one of these POD holders that was missing two of the rubber feet, so I was looking around, but I ended up coming up with my own solution: By four standoffs (you'll know what it is when you see it below), all 6-32 thread size and male-female, 1/4" hex. Two will be 2" long, and two will be 1.5" long. You'll need to round the edges of the standoffs for about 3/4" inch of the female end. I did it by putting each one in a drill chuch and spinning it against a grinding wheel, though the same could be done with a drill and, say, 80 grit sand paper or just with the sand paper. With a #2 phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws from the POD and screw the 2" standoffs into top end of the POD and the 1.5" standoffs in the bottom end. Screw the screws into the female ends for safe keeping. Your rounded portions of the standoffs will slide through the holes in the POD holder and create a very secure connection. If you have the sandpaper or a grinder, the cost will be around 2-4 dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
