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.

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

Both what comes in via the CD/MP3 input and playback from the computer via USB are only played back/monitored by the standard outputs (jack and xlr) and the headphone output, but cannot be streamed (or recorded) using only the POD as audio interface. To be able to stream everything together you need another audio interface to connect the POD to. The other audio interface could also be the one already integrated into your computer, in which case you should connect the POD to your computer via jack and select the intergrated AI in your streaming program. Headphones should be connected to your computer or other external audio interface depending on what you choose to use. The POD can still remain connected via USB to your computer just for editing purposes. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

I'm still using Windows 10 so I haven't directly experienced how the dedicated POD software works on Windows 11. But from what I read in the specs of the aforementioned software in the DOWNLOAD section of this site they are all compatible with Windows 11. Having said that, I know that in the past some Windows 11 users have had problems with the PC recognizing the POD, and it was later discovered that the difficulty was due to Windows 11 security settings that blocked the regular installation/operation of the POD driver. The workaround was to disable "memory integrity" in Windows 11 security settings.

Perhaps in addition to the wet sound you are also hearing the acoustic (and obviously uneffected) sound coming from your guitar, which is likely to happen if the speakers listening volume is very low and you are not using headphones.. Or it could be that the pitch glide effect (even if 100% wet) has been applied but only on one of the 2 parallel paths A or B and therefore you continue to hear also the sound coming from the uneffected path.. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

As has already been said, the firmware update is cumulative. Highly recommended to install the latest one available v2.62 as it brings some optimizations but above all the possibility of adding additional amp and cab models via the paid model packs (IMO they are worth it, especially during the periods when they are on discount), and the Global EQ fx. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

A harmonizer without a key signature setting wouldn't make any sense, so it's obvious that you're still seeing the same pitch shift effect in both screenshots. You're probably doing something wrong in how you actually select the effect you need.

I don't know if you noticed that this thread is 7 years old.. Anyway to answer your question You can't get a clean sound from a single patch containing 2 hi gain amps. With the POD the only solution to obtain both the hi gain and clean sounds while remaining in the same patch (to avoid latency problems when changing the sound) is by assigning 1 hi gain amp to one channel and 1 clean amp to the other. Some more modern modelers have fewer limitations. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

I tend to use single amp model setups in most cases, and have tried the 2 amp combination only a few times, and when I did I followed the guidelines I wrote in my previous post, with excellent results but nothing which made me develop a clear preference for this method, given that I obtain excellent results already with single amps. Let's say that above all I consider the 2-amp method a way to obtain additional sounds rather than to correct problems. "meambobbo", the author of the guide you linked dedicated much of his study of the POD to dual cab configurations, especially for hi gain metal sounds, which he then published. I mainly play genres ranging from classic jazz to fusion to rock to blues to pop, I don't play metal even if sometimes I use typical sounds used in that genre. Generally I let my ears guide me a lot in building and setting needed patches based on my instrument and personal touch, loudness and room acoustics. As I have already said, the choice of cab and mic is the most decisive element in getting closer and obtaining the desired sound. The great importance given to the cab and mic is made even more evident nowadays by the thriving market of cab impulse responses IRs (which are nothing more than additional cab/mic models captured in different ways) that can be purchased and added to the most modern modelers. Exactly. The Global EQ was designed specifically to adapt the sound of all your saved patches to different live contexts. In fact, it is not a per-patch fx but it is only global, and when recording via USB it has no effect at all on the sound. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips

Perhaps the author of the guide you mentioned intended to advise against the use of 2 amps, each different from the other. But in any case the only possible way to use dual cabs in the POD is by using dual amps, but if the 2 amps chosen are identical to each other but differ only in the mic and/or the cab it is exactly as if you were using a single amp with 2 different mics and/or cabs. The only disadvantage of this POD operation is that it consumes a lot of DSP resources and therefore few are left to add other effects, while with other more modern modelers it is possible to apply 2 mics and/or cabs to a single amp and therefore save DSP resources, to be used for other purposes. Regarding mic pairings, as I already mentioned in the previous post, it makes sense to combine mics that are complementary to each other, a darker sounding mic to give strength and body by acting on the bass and mid frequencies (for example ribbon mics), and a bright sounding mic (for example dynamic mics or slightly darker condenser mics) to give definition and the degree of brightness by acting more on the high-mid frequencies. In the mixer block it is then possible to find the best balance between the two channels created, the dark one and the bright one. If you then try to differentiate not only on the mics but also on the chosen cabs, the tones that can be obtained become many more. Certainly the patches for playing at gigs require different adjustments than those used at rehearsals or at home, due to the different perception of the sound at different volumes and also due to the acoustics/resonance of the environment in which you find yourself. The Global EQ that POD is equipped with can be useful for adapting the preset sounds to different situations. (In case you change the output system, for example from output through a real amp to direct sound, the patches to be used for each mode must necessarily be different). _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips
