    POD HD500X and HD500 - Sharing Patch Settings

    in POD HD

    Recording dry and processed signals simultaneously with JTV and Pod HD500?

    in POD HD

    That's strange. I just downloaded and inspected the preset. The inputs are:

    Input 1: Guit+Aux+Varx

    Input 2: Same

     

    I don't see the need to change the inputs. This ensures that the patch will work for Variax users as well as those who might use something like a bass guitar in the Aux input. If a user is knowledgeable enough to be using different inputs they can surely edit the input settings appropriately for their situation.

     

    try loading the patch with input setup="Preset" NOT GLOBAL.

     

    ie:

    Step one: load "hd500 edit"

    Set two: Change  input setup="Preset"

    Step three load the patch.

     

    The {Input 1: Guit+Aux+Varx - Input 2: Same } is the default if input setup="Global" :)

    HD 500x - Factory Preset printout

    in POD HD

    Posted

    well, nico, as a matter of fact is is a little more complicated :mellow:

    when i have time, i'll post specific user-instructions (or a compiled version of this code)...

    but, yes, with this procedure, we can easily produce printouts of ANY bundle (ie 8 setlists).

    well, here is a simple java class that "reads" the hd bundle file 'n creates a csv file which u can open with exel.

    the hd bundle filename is hardcoded, so u must change it (note the double backslashes).

    attached is the csv produced by an "old"  HD500preset.h5b

    How do you use your Pod HD 500 Live?

    in Tone Discussion

    Posted

    genre: classic rock.

    live setup: jtv69s, connected thru VDI --> HD500, XLR'ed direct --> PA (2 channels, stereo).

    gig "disaster plan" :  72 Strat +  1/4" cable + venue supplied guitar amp or small SD amp.

    entire playlist is pre-programmed on a per-song-patch basis, some songs may even require two or three patches (eg shine on you crazy diamond, hotel california, money solo, money trem,   la grange etc).

    stage monitoring: via venue supplied monitors or small SD amp (mono sound).

    demo playlist with sounds/clips/free patches:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhWm2EtWxOk&list=PL3b7kXW444v4OpNy_vQaMFL1K9nPUittG&index=8

     

    note1:  bass is passing thru POD XT bean with FBV Shortboard direct --> PA,  monitored via venue supplied amp/monitors

     

    note2: both pods powered via ups providing uninterruptible power supply , voltage regulation, surge protection
