Im my opinion a "fuzz with an octave below" is the key element to easily get that Moog type sound you can hear starting at around 3:12 of Let It Happen by Time Impala. Eg my modeler includes the PAiA Roctave Divider model called Sub Octave Fuzz which works very well in this case. Combining the Sub Octave Fuzz with a P90 (or other single coil PUP) equipped guitar and a VOX type amp model would be perfect, but not strictly necessary given that the above FX is a very distinctive and predominant element of the chain.. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

You're right, I use a HD500X and I didn't remember that the HD300 didn't have the MF EQ. But I think that the HD300 should be equipped at least with the Vintage Pre which also contains a Low Pass Filter which you could use for the same purpose. In this case the values would be more conveniently expressed in kHz, and a setting more or less around 6 kHz could be what is needed.. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Try putting a MID FOCUS EQ after the pre-amp in your POD patch to use its included Low Pass Filter (sort of like a HIGH CUT). By default, two MF EQ parameters that are not needed in this case are active and therefore must first be neutralized by setting them to zero: the GAIN and HP FREQ. The parameter that serves as HIGH CUT is the LP FREQ, setting it to a value between 63 and 70 (depending on the amp model chosen) should solve the fizz problem. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

In the 4-cable method you basically have 4 cables/lines. Depending on where you want to insert your physical pedals using additional cables you can insert them into any of the 4 main lines above. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Hi jspade, I did a check on my site and in fact there was a configuration error that prevented correct registration which I have now corrected. I just tried creating a new test account and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the report and for the compliments. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

What you need is to use the "4 cable method", which will allow you to configure some POD effects in front of your amp and others in the FX loop of the same amp. Try doing a search online for "4CM", and/or read the article on the topic that I have already written on my forum website dedicated to POD, here is the link: 4 Cable Method _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

If you want you can try what in this forum is considered a sort of remedy for all malfunctions, especially for which the exact cause is not clear, and that is reinstalling the firmware, which in practice is a way to completely reset the device. After reinstalling the firmware it is recommended to perform a Global Setting Reset and finally the Pedal Calibration procedure. Before starting everything described above it is advisable to save your patches on the computer which you can reload later. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Pressing the left navigation pad while turning on the device (as you did) is a procedure for the POD known as "Global Parameter Reset" which generally should be performed every time the firmware is updated/installed (and which should always be followed by the "Pedal Calibration" procedure) to avoid malfunctions. Furthermore, the "Global Parameters Reset" procedure can be useful to get you out of a boot-reboot loop (as in your case) which could be caused by the last used/selected patch being corrupted, and it succeeds because it defaults back to Set List 1 Best of HD preset 1A Son of Plexi. A corrupted patch in this context is a patch (probably downloaded) that was created with different version firmware than the one currently installed on the device. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

If the SDRAM is really about to fail only an electronics technician can fix it.. In my opinion it could also be the power supply that is no longer able to provide the necessary amount of current.. Or further upstream, perhaps for some reason (eg too many devices turned on and connected to the same power strip) not enough current passes through the socket where the power supply is attached _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips
