Well I can hear a "Sweep Echo" effect (that is the name in a POD HD500X), maybe you can try to use a regular echo, and add some filter/wah/phaser(maybe??) for each repeat. 

but if you have the HD500/X like me, know that it is not possible to open the front panel directly from the outside, but unfortunately it is necessary to disassemble more or less everything..

yes, the hd500x. Well, If I have to disassemble everything...I think I can live with this little issue,

thanks 

eg time ago with simple cleaning I perfectly restored the nav pad keys, 

Hey, can you describe how did you do this? my right nav pad key sometimes doesn't move properly, it is necessary to remove all screws or just the front panel?

Thanks, yes the SRM150 is what I have in mind due to price. 

You will likely find that you have some issues trying to use patches dialed in with something that small when you pump it through a full PA.

...Well I guess that's a risk that I could handle. 

Thanks again, 

Has leido las advertencias del manual de tu caliber 22?

-ADVERTENCIAS (¡POR FAVOR LEA!!) EL 22 CALIBER ES UN AMPLIFICADOR DE PODER, NO UN PEDAL DE EFECTOS: Conecte la salida del 22 CALIBER a un gabinete de bocinas exclusivamente. NO CONECTE LA SALIDA DEL 22 CALIBER A LA ENTRADA DE OTRO AMPLIFICADOR, PEDAL DE EFECTOS, MEZCLADORA, COMPUTADORA, INTERFASE DE COMPUTADORA O APARATO SIMILAR. GABINETE DE BOCINAS: Solo conecte la salida del 22CALIBER con una impedancia de 8-16 Ohms. La capacidad del gabinete de bocinas debe de ser de 30W o más. SALIDA PRIMERO, CORRIENTE DESPUÉS: Conecte la salida del 22 CALIBER al gabinete de bocinas apropiado antes de enchufarlo a la toma de corriente. Si usted conecta el 22 CALIBER a un gabinete de bocinas estando ya enchufado y prendido, el 22 CALIBER puede automáticamente cortar (mute)su salida para prevenir un corto circuito en el jack de salida. En esta situación, simplemente desenchufe el 22 CALIBER de la toma de corriente, espere unos segundos y vuélvalo a enchufar; deberá funcionar normalmente.

Lo que se me ocurre es que lo conectes mal, mira lo que marque en amarillo. Lo otro es que la impedancia de tu caja no sea de 8-16 ohm o que si sea, pero que la salida en Watts sea inferior a 30w.

Si ya descartaste cables, fuente, etc, no se me ocurre otra cosa. 

hahahaha

Hello i got a podhd 500x, 2x12 marshall case and carvin legacy. I've hooked up to 4 cables and it's all right! I need to handle only the effects and I have no idea how to start to have a suffocating sound bench. One problem I encountered is leveling out of the pod an equal level for all effects, how can I start?

There is a trick that one guy here suggested (pianoguyy). Use the CD/MP3 input and play something there. Since this is input will have the same volume level in every patch you are in, try to level the output of all your patches to that level. 

Check this topic:

http://line6.com/support/topic/21821-modding-a-cry-baby-to-make-an-expression-pedal/ 

Not the same model but it can help.

Is there any way to trigger mixer changes via a footswitch?  For example, I may want to toggle between channels A and B being panned hard left/right and both being centred without changing patches.  (The only problem with changing patches are the audio glitches, otherwise that would be fine!)

No, but check the volume/pan FX block. Selecting "PAN" you can control L/R channels using the exp pedal. Position matters with this one, try it before or after the mixer block.

Hi there,

 

I could really use some advice.  I have a HD500 using the 4 cable method into a VOX AV30.  

 

I have 2 issues:

 

1) I have an external reverb pedal that I would like to have in the loop.  Is this possible with the 4 cable method, and if so, where would I place the FX Loop block in the chain?

 

2) I have a looper stomp  that I would like to have right at the end so I can utilize all the effects before recording a loop.  Where would I put this in relation to the 4 cable method?

 

I've tried a few different ideas, but I can't seem to get it to work properly in either case.

 

Any help or advice would be really, really appreciated!

 

Thank you for reading

Like PG said before, you should place it where it sounds better to you...

I have some additional pedals hooked on the FX LOOP, (not a reverb or a looper), my physical chain goes like this:

Guitar > POD guitar Input > POD FX SEND > Analog Pedal 1, 2, 3...last pedal output > Amp's Guitar Input.......... (rest of 4CM connections...)

When you add the FX LOOP BLOCK in your POD's chain, you must think what you have connected there and that logic should tell you the position of the block. Sometimes I use an additional volume pedal (my EXP 1 & 2 are busy handling OD Gain/Reverb depth) so I place the block after the mixer but before Delay and Reverb (this way I keep the trails of both).

Thanks jvrock84, just a question regarding stereo effects (eg. ping pong delay). Did you have to connect your Pod HD500x to the iRig using a Y cable in order to achieve stereo effects on your DAW in your ipad.

No, never tried that, but I assume it should work. Just be careful, I don't how much the iRig can resist, try it at low levels.

When I read what johnsontylerj wrote about that the light bulb went on along with adjusting the guitar z depending on what effect one puts before the amp/mixer. I mean it was almost like hearing the angels sing. lol

That's good! I remember I spent years reading forums (and also this guide http://foobazaar.com/podhd/toneGuide/),and finally found my tone.

Hey, thanks for replying! those are actually really good tips and that pretty much answered most of my questions.

 

Any more tips on how to balance the volume? I've been reading a lot and If I'm not mistaken the master volume DEP should start at noon and you should focuse on "tone" rather than volume (although changes may affect the volume itself) and I've read somewhere that the master volume on the pod should be ideally completely maxed unless there's clipping, so that leaves me with the "CH. volume" and the mixer block to control  thevolume.

If I'm not mistaken, the "ch volume" also affects the tone, so, should I just use the mixer to control the actual volume when I'm satisfied with a certain tone?

 

Also, are there any real differences in tone when using a mono signal with A and B panned center or using just signal A and muting B completely? besides more volume...

 

Thanks!

After trying everything to balance the volume using the 4CM, I found that the best way is to use the FX RETURN level (inside the FX LOOP BLOCK) and boost it. (I have a Marshall AMP, and set it around +7db)

For what purpose? I think it's better to consider an expression pedal to control some features on the fly, I have an M5 and use one EX-1 (line6) to control gain/reverb depth, among other things. But, yes, probably the FS-5U (which I own also) will let you control something. Will try to pair it tonight and post my findings here, 

Hey Man, very useful information... I have an M5, and was considering to get me a MIDI controller DMC-3 Disaster Area. Basically for patch change (up/down), and now reading this I think it is possible right?

I use Auto-Wah a lot. Try the TRON UP model like this:

LP

LOW
Q = 60%
Mix = 60%

Also, try to place it in the beginning of your chain. I have noticed volume drop issues, in some cases the studio eq could help to increase volume, adding only +6db of gain without touching other parameters.

Careful with the irig! I fried my iPad's input jack due to heavy signal that my POD HD500x was sending. I replaced the input jack but never used it again.

the patch is exactly the same as it was yesterday, but you're not.

Best line I have ever read since I started with my pod XT live +10 years ago.

LOL If you are using a guitar amp with your "analog" pedals, you DO have a Global EQ. That's what those knobs are for on your amp.

Haha, yes... those knobs sometimes are not enough. 

Hola, pregunta, instale Line 6 Monkey, y desde ahi instalar los drivers del POD HD 500, pero hago el proceso y es como si nunca se instalara, es como que no tengo los dirves, a alguien le ha pasado?

Es mejor que windows lo detecte automáticamente al conectarlo por USB. OJO no uses un port-hub sino conectalo directo a tu PC. Si no te lo esta detectando bien proba instalarlo en otros puertos USB. Como ultima opcion dejaria lo que estas haciendo. 

hey man, I sent you a message. check it! 

thanks jamiek...

Well, I'm about to build my pedal board (Already have the M5) but I cannot make the test (turn effect off with the noise gate engaged) because I have no other pedals... so any help will be appreciated.
