coreyhchan Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm new to the POD HD 500 and all its capabilities. I have a general understanding of the guidelines for chaining effects pedals to run through an amp but I'm not sure I fully understand the pros and cons of putting fxs pre- or post- of the amp along the signal chain in the POD HD 500. Can someone break this down for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpointmetal Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 stuff that effects gain (compressors, overdrives), filters (wah, tron) and often phase effects USUALLY go in front of the amp with modulation (chorus,flange,rotary) and Ambient FX (reverb/delay) after the amp model and then stuff like gates and equalizer's can go wherever they are needed. But the thin is USUALLY! there are no rules and what sounds good is good, but I think its a fair place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
