Well, in my case I used the iRig and the experience was good... however I don't know if by doing this I fried something because a few weeks later my iPad's headphone/mic input stopped working (a horrible noise). I don't have the money to repair it now and never used it again.
-
It's hard to tell how to achieve a good tone because everyone has a different taste/gear, that is why custom tone isn't useful!... but anyway... if you are using the 4 cable method it is expected that you will use the preamp of your physical amp instead of the AMP SIM and probably add only some coloration using other effects (like a screamer, compressor, etc) however, since nothing is written in stone... using the 4CM I do the following to create my tones:
1) Set the output mode to "Combo/Stack PWRAMP"
2) Add the FX LOOP Block and place it after the MIXER (switched on)
3) Start with an AMP, I recommend the TREADPLATE (to mention one) and adjust the controls as you wish,
4) If I find too much noise, I place a GATE as the first effect in my chain,
5) after that, I usually add a Screamer (for solos or coloration) or a Compressor, all of this BEFORE the AMP & the FX LOOP Block.
6) Delays & reverbs: I place them after the FX LOOP BLOCK.
You can start with that, of course there is a lot more... check this guide: http://foobazaar.com/podhd/toneGuide/

It''s more a windows problem I think. Try uninstalling the drivers from the device manager, and try again in another USB port.

However, I think most people would be very hard pressed to tell the difference between the Helix and a dialed in HD in a live setting. The player might certainly be able to tell the difference, but no one listening would be able to.
+1... in my case... I play mostly in live environments, where other things get in the way, for example the MIC position in front of my marshall amp, the sound guy, the post-effects, room, etc...higher/brighter? i think the difference will be little noticeable. I will keep my hd500x until it dies (is a young lady now :]) -
Try to use the "low cut" setting n the CAB EDIT page, I don't think this will affect much as a Screamer, I generally use it at 120-150
-
Well, sometimes I assign the expression pedal to control the time/mix/depth/etc in my delays, I have experimented some crazy things,
-
I dont need the pedals to be in the effects loop btw. Just need it in front of the amp.
Also if anyones experienced the feedback that I've got when the POD is 4cabled into the amp I'd love to know :) Super excited to get this fully setup and rocking for a gig in a few weeks
Check the attached picture. Depending on what pedals you use (Wah, OD's, etc) that will be the position of the FX LOOP Block, but... use your ears!

Or try this
Hi guys. I'm connecting my POD with 4CM for last couple of months. But in the signal chain, if I put POD between guitar and amplifier signal changes. I don't know because of signal strenght, signal compress or anything but it really bothers me.
So i want to put some analog effects between guitar and amplifier and use the pod for after pre-amp effects such as delays and reverbs. How should i connect it?
Amplifier send --> POD HD500 which input?
POD HD500 which output? --> Amplifier return -
Thanks for the response. I tried that. and I didn't like the tone.
So attached is where I placed it...right after the EQ
Cheers
Yeah, after the amp is also a good choice... btw, I can see the name of your patches, I asume you play in a church, that's good... Even your effects looks very similar to mine, I just change the AC for an Analog Chorus,
-
sorry forgot to mention....the attached screen shot is where I am now on this tone....cheers
Using the four cable method I usually place it after the COMP effect... I like the speed at 0.30 Hz but that is just my personal taste... Using only one AMP I found that some modulation effects have more depth if you place them after the amp but before the mixer in the left channel (A-top). You can try it.
-
Sounds intresting. I use the POD as Effectboard for my Engl Gigmaster. Actually I'm not EQing ist because the Engls EQ ist extrem precious.
In the moment I use that chain.
Sustainer (to boost the Preamp) -> FX Loop -> Volume Pedal (at 80% for Lead/Rythms 100 for Solo) -> Modulations -> Delay -> Reverb -> Studio EQ( Gain +4 for Solo Boost)
Nice amp man...! yeah, there is a lot that you can do using this method...be careful of not falling in the "trap" of trying to improve your tone every time you play, sometimes is better to enjoy and have some fun with your best patch
-
Hey, you use a real AMP? Do you use Dist/OD and Comp even if that amp is in lead channel and if yes which one of thous you choose and how do you set them.
thx so far
I use the modeled amps on the POD. Sometimes I make a "Mix" between the modeled amps and my Marshall AMP 100w. (leaving the FX LOOP block switched on) When the amp is in lead channel I don't use full distortions, I tend to use stompboxes just to color the amp tone a little, for example a screamer with a little gain only and the output leveled... sometimes I just place an EQ in front of the AMP to alter some frequencies.The combination of all this is what makes your sound interesting. This is just my preference, you should find what's better for you. -
I know that, but I am interested in what you guys personally use.
I use the 4CM. My chain usually goes like this:
Gate > Comp > Wah > Modulation> Dist/OD > EQ > AMP > FX LOOP > Delay > Reverb

nada aun esto es lo que presenta mi line6 busca este enlace en you tube
si ya se probo todo, el reflash, reset, otro cable, otra PC... etc, creo que lo mejor sera que lo lleves a un centro autorizado de reparacion,
-
I am using 64 ohm, in a pair of Sennheiser headphones.
-
no funciono. el line6 monkey no tiene en su lista midi la opcion para el line6 hd500 osea no lo reconece
si sabes otro metodo te lo agradecere ya no se que intentar
El monkey no tiene el POD en la lista midi porque tu pc no lo ha reconocido, eso pasa porque como se esta reiniciando el POD tu PC no logra detectarlo... iniciando en modo SEGURO deberia de reconocertelo (como lo puse en la opcion 2).
Otras cosas que podrias probar es cambiando el cable USB o bien probar en todos los puertos de PC e inciando el pod en modo seguro, o prueba en otra PC. Si aun asi no lo logras, tocara llevarlo a un centro autorizado de reparacion,
He leido que a veces ese problema de reinicio constante/loop, es porque el adaptador de corriente no funciona correctamente, no se que tan cierto pueda ser eso, pero si tienes un amigo que tenga un adaptador similar pidelo prestado y prueba, solo para descartar eso.
-
ok tengo el cable pero no me aparece el hd500 en la lista del line6 monkey midi para actualisarlo
.osea para seleccionar el equipo que quiero actualisar
Creo que eso es porque tu PC no lo ha reconocido aun.
- Cierra todo lo que tengas abierto en tu pc.
- Conecta ambas puntas del cable en los 2 puertos midis de tu pod.
- Conecta el cable USB a tu PC
- Enciende tu POD, deja que windows haga el proceso de instalacion del driver.
Debe reconocer el POD a traves del cable MIDI y hacer la instalacion. Cuando eso haya acabado ya puedes abrir el Line6 Monkey para realizar el update.
-
la primera opcion no me presenta nada
probe la seguunda opcion y dice update flash pero no conecta usb el line6 monkey no lo reconoce
se queda igual la pantalla con el logo de line6 solo palpadea el logo
La primera opción deberÃa mostrarse al encender el POD dejando presionado la flecha hacia la izquierda (<). Intenta de nuevo.
Yo tuve el mismo problema, pero con un POD XT, se reiniciaba, no me reconocÃa el USB y no podÃa actualizarlo . Cuando lo di por perdido recordé que se puede hacer el update de flash pero con un cable MIDI-USB (checa esta imagen del cable: https://goo.gl/images/wt5R4J ) esa opción fue la que finalmente me funciono, pude actualizarlo y volverlo a usar (aunque finalmente migre a un HD 500x)
Ese cable es caro y no se si te funcionara, trata de que alguien te lo pueda prestar para hacer la prueba.
Suerte,

mi hd 500 solo se queda en el inicio y no abre los preset no puedo hacer nada tampoco conecta usb despues de haber instaldo unos patches solo presenta line6 y hay se queda
Ayudaaaaa por favor
Lograste resolver tu problema? tienes varias opciones, en todas puedes perder tus presets pero creo que vale la pena intentarlo:
1) Reset Global: Enciende el POD dejando presionada la flecha de navegación a la izquierda. Alli entraras a un modo seguro y volveras al PATCH 1A.
2) Actualizacion de software: Si lo anterior no funciona, alista tu cable usb y tu PC. Luego enciende tu POD presionando la flecha de navegacion hacia ABAJO, luego te tocara hacer la actualizacion, conecta el cable USB y abre el line 6 monkey para hacer una actualizacion de firmware.

A little decrease of volume is natural when using the FX SEND/RETURN of the POD... I'm not sure how exactly you are connecting the external pedals but you can try to connect them like this:
-
You can use also the 4 cable method. Do you have an AMP with FX SEND/Return?
-
In my experience... I spent like $99 for a Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Headphones and they work fine... I would recommend (just me) a pair of headphones of 64 ohm or more.

Thanks Chaps,
The low cut - is that the setting on the cab sim you mean or is there a low cut elsewhere?
Yes, but it's also on the GLOBAL EQ Setting,
check this: http://line6.com/support/page/kb/_/pod/pod-hd500-hd500x/using-global-eq-r731(The link is not working....) copy/paste:
Global EQ is used for compensating for the wide disparity in acoustic environments on tour or when traveling from studio to studio, and is applied to all setlists and presets. Global EQ features three fully parametric bands plus variable low and high cut filters. This feature is not available in the HD editor programs used via computer.
To access Global EQ:
- Press and hold the VIEW button to open the Setup Menu.
- Using the four-way, cursor right until you see the Global EQ screen.
- Turn Knob 1 to select the desired EQ band (Low Cut, Low, Mid, High, High Cut) andturn Knobs 2, 3, and/or 4 to adjust the selected band.
- To bypass or enable Global EQ, press ENTER.
NOTE—Due to L6 LINK’s flexible routing, Global EQ is not available at this output.

It is probably your room.
If it is not acoustically treated with bass traps it will resonate any frequency in sympathy inherent in the room ans some notes will be more and some way less from phasing or partial cancellations.
Meanwhile move the amp in the room to a location like where the other amp isnt doing it as placement can
make the effect worse or less
If on the other hand it is a problem in all rooms then above advices.
Totally agree. In my case, it is incredible how my sound feels better and natural when playing at home... live...I always have to use the GLOBAL EQ (thank God it exists). The LOW CUT is something that has saved me a lot of troubles when playing live. I use an SM57 mic in front of my AMP to send my guitar signal.Try to use the LOW CUT at 80-100hz to filter that bassy sound. Probably you will need a little more.
