pugdealer Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hey guys I've been using my POD HD500 direct to FOH when playing live and the sound has been very inconsistent as the sound guys that are up front. So I've been considering (and advised to) using the L3T micced up live as an amp so I'll probably get a closer sound up front compared to what I ear coming out of the l3t, which I what I use to tweak my patches. I just updated the POD to 2.2 and it has good control over the L3t, though unfortunately it still lacks control over the speaker mode on the pod...it stores the setting, but I can't change the mode from the POD...anyway I've always had the POD on studio/direct and am using full amp models. The questions are: 1 - Since I used the full amp models, should I use only PA/reference mode or is it better to go for electric guitar mode? 2 - How should the L3T be micced up? It seems to work completely different when in PA or Elec Guit. 3 - Could someone explain in detail the electric guitar mode, other than just "simulates 2x12 cabinet"? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBell Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hey pugdealer, 1 - Since I used the full amp models, should I use only PA/reference mode or is it better to go for electric guitar mode? When using amp modeling I find having the PODHD going out studio/direct into the L3t in studio direct mode to be great. When the L3t is set the electric guitar mode, the cross over changes dirastically, turning it into a guitar amp speaker2 - 2 - How should the L3T be micced up? It seems to work completely different when in PA or Elec Guit. On the back pannel of the L3t theres a 'mix out' output that can be sent to the board so you'd have your sound onstage, and in the mains. 3 - Could someone explain in detail the electric guitar mode, other than just "simulates 2x12 cabinet"? Its simulating a 2x12 by the crossover between the subs and high compression horn changing dirasticly. The horn gets turned up while other frequencys are either left or taken away to give you litterally, a guitar cab. The speaker modes dont mask the sound, they actually change the crossovers to be the perfect solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugdealer Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks! So, what if I connect the L3t output to the soundboard, does the L3t mode affect the sound going out? What I meant by "micced up" was how to put mics in front of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
