  1. I have my HD 500 going into my IPAD. There are a number of ways to do it. You need a guitar to computer interface. I tried 4 different ways; this is the one I chose. (1) I plug my HD 500 (1/4in output cable) into a UM2 (Behringer) interface (it's inexpensive; but works for me). You can choose more expensive ones as well. (2) I plug the UM2 (USB cable) into a TENDAK "powered" USB3.0 HUB. (This provided the power needed for the UM2). (3) I plug the USB HUB into an Apple "lightning cable" camera adapter (with USB and power ports). (4) Plug the camera adapter into your IPAD lightning port. I plug a power cable into the camera adapter port so the IPAD will always stay powered up. Your IPAD will select the UM2 input (not the IPAD microphone) and you can use your IPAD headphone jack as your monitor. You can record in GarageBand or any other DAW (Studio One, Zentracker, etc) and use various plugins (Tonebridge), mobile POD, Rhino, etc). I hope that helps. Bill
  2. SOLUTION: I had the same issue which sounded like a shielding ground issue. The problem sounds like a static "spark"( which shouldn't happen if the electronics are properly shielded). I removed the electronic cover plate (back of the guitar) and then used a sanding block to "lightly" clean the cover mounting surface (on the guitar). I used a little alcohol to clean the surface after sanding. I also removed any raised bumps from the cover mounting surface so the cover would fit flush. I reinstalled the cover and made sure all the screws were tight. No more "static tick" sounds! Bill
  3. I'm having the same problem. I tried a different power cable, tried muting the strings, and removed my HD500 from the loop. No luck. Acts like a static "tick" when the strings are touched (but I'm not in a dry, static prone location). Maybe it's a shielding issue? Has anybody opened up the electronics to check that the shielding is making full contact around the electronics? (It's maddening!)
