    The POD is a poor man's axe Fx. I reckon that if Line 6 would simply allow for custom impulse responses, the POD would be able to compete with the Axe.

    Strange. I didn't hear this complaint so far from anyone. Did you try another browser?

    A video demo of some of my favourite presets here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMoVJRT1tc4&feature=youtu.be

    The POD is probably damaged. Return it to the store and get a new one. I had the same problem.

    The Axe FX has more effects. The amps sound more real. There are also more amp models. More and better cabs. You can use your own cabs. You can use the tone match feature to get any tone you want straight out of a recording. You can reamp easily. You can download the tones your heroes are using. You can't do any of this with the POD. That's the way it is.d

    I had the same problem. The problem lies in the device. Get a new one. Don't waste your time fixing something like that.

    In my experience PODs sound great when connected to an external amp or PA. They sould terrible when their signal is routed straight into a computer and no external cabs are being used. So yeah, it's a more or less wise investment. If I had the ressources, I would save up for an Axe FX ultra/II/xl.

    Hey OP any speculatioms as to what the price of a single label will end up being?
  9. MiguelMarquez
    Sorry man, but that pedal's overdrive sounds awful. At least when used in combination with the Threadplate. Any other suggestions? Basically my idea the other day was to sort of emulate the response of a cab by using EQ and perhaps compressors. The sound I'm quest for results from running the output of a cab into another cab.

    Ehm, the metal zone as in, the pedal by Boss? My aim is achieving this tone by using strictly what the POD offers.

    I see the dropbox links failed to show. Does the soundcloud link work?

    Hello everyone, before getting the POD HD500x, I'd use the threadplate model on my old POD 2.0 with a bypassed cab to achieve a rather harsh, metallic tone which is sort of my "signature" rhythm guitar sound. You can listen to here: https://soundcloud.com/mischjok/test/s-GZmNm I basically run the output of a patch that uses a mesa boogie simulation into a channel in cubase where I load an IR of a Mesa Cab. Basically I have two cabs going on right now. The second patch which you hear on that recording is something that sounds close. It's basically me trying to emulate the sound heard at the beginning of John Petrucci's tune "Damage Control". You'll notice how the sound in "damage control" lacks punch and that metallic edge. IS there any way to add it artificially? I simply want to be less dependant on Cubase and my IR-host (voxengo boogex) and have everything happen within the POD. I'd be glad to provide patches to anyone willing to provide assistance. Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Ehm. what does the "vetta juice" exactly do? I was thinking of using it as a boost pedal for solos and whatnot.
  14. MiguelMarquez
    Probably the best piece of advice I can give you: don't waste hours of your time browsing the internet trying to find a preset you'll like. Rather spend that time messing around with the amp models and effects. This has proven to be more effective in my quest for a tone that I like, as opposed to expecting someone to upload the sound I want to achieve.
  15. MiguelMarquez
    Is there any impedance that one should avoid/favour? I wonder how it influences the tone.
  16. MiguelMarquez
    More usable metal amps would be a good thing. So far most metal patches are being made usind the following models: Uber, Angel F, Threadplate and at times the Soldano Overdrive.
  17. MiguelMarquez
    Ehm, where do I change the input Z? Do you mean the impedance?
  18. MiguelMarquez
    Thanks for the information. It didn't occur to me it could be that time-consuming (the whole process). I'm working my way through that guy's Tone Guide. Certainly a must-read for every HD500x user who is serious about tone.
  19. MiguelMarquez
    Just out of curiosity...how tedious is the amp modelling process? It's just baffling L6 didn't choose to re-model such a widely praised amp as the 5150.
  20. MiguelMarquez
    It has come to my attention that certain amp simulations that were available on previous versions of the POD aren't available on the POD HD500x. I'd like to know why that is. In my opinion, metal players could appreciate the inclusion of those two models...

    http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/gear-equipment/133583-line-6-pod-hd-thread Read all 240 pages. Download the tones shared there. They sound much better than anything posted on "CustomTone". Also make sure you read this guide: http://foobazaar.com/podhd/toneGuide/
  22. MiguelMarquez
    I agree on having a whole plethora of options being some sort of double-whammy. I can only imagine how Axe FX users must feel considering how many amps and effects and routing options they get. The players that are also recording their own stuff and are serious about it are probably a minority in the metal community. But it's a thriving, growing minority.
  23. MiguelMarquez
    I'll rephrase that: most people who are into metal and happen to record at home happen to prefer external IR's, of which there are many out there (perhaps too many). The other day I realized I was able to get a great rhythm guitar sound by bypassing the cab on one particular preset and using a Mesa/Boogie cab impulse response. It's "OK" to do this if I am at home, recording. But if I feel like jamming and switching from a distorted patch to a clean one, then I'd have to figure out how to deactivate the impulse loader within Cubase so that it doesn't colour my clean patch (clean sounds are excellent straight out of the POD). It's about having options, or flexibility.
  24. MiguelMarquez
    Just chiming in to say the following: If the POD HD series allowed for custom IR's, the Axe FX would see its pedestal endangered. In my opinion it'd make much more sense to offer an update with better cabs, courtesy of Line 6. Let's not delude ourselves: most people dislike the Cabs included in the HD models with a passion. Specially those who play metal and complain about not being able to dial in a good metal sound using the factory cabs and mics.
  25. MiguelMarquez
    I'd be definitely interested!
