  3. ... Townsend used a Gretsch 6120 (a gift from Joe Walsh) on Who's Next (and the next album)...

    true, that's why one of the demo patches i posted abv is using the Gretsch 6120 model (rbilly-1).

    this patch (WontGetFooledAgain2) is also using the tweed-bman (in parallel with the blackfac2bl, in order 2 simulate Pete's 1959 Fender Bandmaster) as per foll link:

     

    http://www.thewho.net/whotabs/gear/guitar/fenderbandmaster.html :

     

    Pete Townshend used a 1959 Fender Bandmaster amplifier with his Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins Hollow Body to create the rich feedback-laden sound heard on virtually all studio recordings beginning with Who’s Next in 1971. The entire rig was a gift from Joe Walsh in 1970, and consisted of a 1959 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins ‘Hollow Body’ guitar, the 1959 Fender Bandmaster 3x10 combo, a Whirlwind cable and the Edwards Light Beam volume pedal.

    enjoy...

  5. I doubt it. Making an old amp work on the HD is very different from making old patches compatible. There's a lot more than an amp that goes into a patch. The HD preset and signal processing architecture does not support XT patches.

     

    i mean just "manually type" all the xt settings of n old xt patch in2 the hd500 (drive, lows, etc).

    since the model algorithms r the same (non hd), theory suggests that this manual approach shld work....

  6. and what happens when someone designs a patch and gives the patch to someone that does not have the same "pack". 

    You may want to consider adding a spot on Customtone for people to notate what bonus packs were used. 

     

    pls correct me if i'm wrong, but this was standard practice on xt custome tone patches....

     

    Edit: confirmed, attaching screen..

  7. Pod HD presets will not be compatible because Firehawk does not support dual paths. Tone matching uses the pre-HD tone library, same as AMPLIFi.

     

    this makes sense.

    just cannot quite understand  the ...HD'ness of firehawk...

    it seems more amplifi-like without onboard usable screen.

    btw, how many presets will this unit suports? 128? 512? more? less?
