justcrash Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hello all! I am considering getting an hd500x. Eventually I'd like to get a DT25 or 50. However, that is a ways away. My current amp (that I really love) is a marshall sl5. It does NOT have a loop on it. I am really just buying the HD for effects for now. Used to have a Vetta II and sold it like an idiot (I should know better, in 23 years I've never sold a piece of gear I didn't eventually regret selling). Will it sound decent when using my current amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radatats Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 so you love this amp and want some effects to run in front... why a POD? why not an M9/13 or a Zoom/Boss something or other? Do you want the amp modelling? I ask because this is a great little amp but it is not a great candidate for a modeler... That being said, if you just want to run the effects in front with the POD, the effects are M class and sound great. I am sure they will work fine but I don't think you will be happy trying to run different amp models through it... now if you get a DT later you will be all set...

justcrash Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 You guys are exactly right, I'd disable/bypass (whatever the hd500x nomenclature is) the amp/speaker models. If it has mic models on it like the vetta, I'd disable those as well. Short term goal: replace my expensive, but cumbersome pedal board. Long term goal: get a DT series and a variax. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
