The_Silence

Not sure if this is the right forum for this post, if it's not, feel free to direct it and/or me to the proper place! Just uploaded a shoegazey type of tone loosely based on Neil Halstead's rig from back in the day. It defaults as sort of a plain old clean tone with just some delay and chorus, good for strumming out chords. Mess with the expression pedal and distortions, however, and you'll end up with a giant wall of noise. The expression pedal controls the reverb saturation. It can get a little out of hand at 100%, though, so watch out! The tube compressor was added as a last minute thought, just to give the clean tone a little extra "oomph." I recommend turning it off if you have the delays, distortion and reverb at full blast. And because I have a Variax and why the hell not, it force opens the Chime-1 patch, which is a Rickenbacker, guitar of choice for many old school Shoegazers! Would love some feedback or suggestions. Feel free to modify and mess with it! http://line6.com/customtone/tone/224193/

We have a winner! I had been wondering about an output mode, actually. I assumed it would have been a physical switch on the unit, like on my Pod 2.0. But man, now I have that giant, airy cab sound I've been needing! Cheers!

I've been tinkering with a loaner HD500 for a couple of weeks and still debating on whether or not to buy it. Being a Variax 500 owner I love the idea of having this puppy, but I've been experiencing one problem: I can't for the life of me hear ANY difference from the default cab sound on any amp when I switch between different mics or adjust any cab parameters (E.R., decay, resonance, etc.). I know mics well enough to know I should be hearing some pretty significant differences in sound between, say, an SM57 and a Coles 4038, but when I switch between any of them, they sound exactly the same! Granted, I'm listening on pretty crappy speakers, but I most definitely should be hearing at least some small difference in sound. I have the heaphone output going straight in to the aux input of my stereo, but I've experimented with XLR and 1/4 outs into interfaces and still nothing. I've skimmed all of the applicable manuals for any clues, I've checked forums, youtube vids, and haven't come across anyone having a similar issue. I really hope It's just me being retarded and overlooking some simple thing, because aside from this issue I really like it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
