After listening to this demo, one thing is for sure, the hd500x is still a very capable unit and more than enough for a majority of guitarists. If you dont need a very complicate routing and know how to dial your sound, it will reward you with great tones. Not that I would not like to upgrade!!! But for now I'm more than happy with my pod hd500x You can check it with one of my latest songs: https://soundcloud.com/momogris/palabras

Thanks for listening with so much care! Yeah, I try to create each song as a story, evolving rather than repeating all over the place. I used Logic Pro, Pod HD 500X (which I love!!!) and plugins from Ik Multimedia (Simpleton and Miroslav) searching to give it an old school vibe to it . Cheers mate!!!

Hi all! Just wanted to show you my latest song recorded with a Pod Hd 500x (Telecaster this time). I really think that it´s still a great product and very capable of producing inspiring tones. Let me know what you think. May be not a Helix but I would like to think that the tones are very good. Cheers!!!!! https://soundcloud.com/momogris/palabras

Strat Sound In Hd 2.0 Sucks
momogris replied to sacapuntas's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Hi, despite all the answers, yes, I also do think that strat model does´nt. sound like a strat at all. More like a Les Paul with single coils. Honestly, I´ve been comparing it to my real strat (2010 US ) for a few days, and the variax model lacks the sparkle and the harmonic content of a real strat. I´m not saying that it sounds bad, it´s very usable and distinct from other models, but it can´t replace the real thing. It sounds sterile in comparison. In my opinion, humbuckers are easier to model, the are more compressed and with less overtones than single coils are. I don´t really think it´s going to be possible to capture the real soul of the strat in this generation. Just my opinion. Cheers. -
New Jtv89 Not Recognized
momogris replied to bmcoonan's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Exactly, it happened to me as well. You need to connect a 1/4 cable to the guitar and push the volume so the Variax is awaked. Also, Check that both lights in the VDI are green. -
Happy New Jtv User
momogris replied to momogris's topic in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD
Thanks!!!!! Still discovering new things and different combinations. I´ve definitely changed the strat´s body for the parlor one. It brings more harmonic content out of the strat model, but still not comparable to my real Standard USA. Nevertheless, As others have mentioned, I see this guitar as a broad palette of different "colors". The sounds are, for the most part, very usable, though as I´m playing more and more, you feel that there´s room for improvement in the feeling and the most important thing: overtones. Still a tad on the sterile side. Having said this, I´m keeping mine for sure. Love it and when a new one comes in, I´ll be there. :D Great forum!!!!! Cheers!!!!!! -
Well, I´ve to say that my JTV 89 came in so perfect shape that all the nerves I had because I´ve read so many horror stories went away in two minutes. The neck is perfect. The action, much better than my Standard Stratocaster (USA). NO FRET buzz that I have noticed either. :D Smooth from the neck to the bridge. As for the sound..... Some models are so good that I don´t really think you would need those (physical) guitars anymore. The Tele...... Love it!!!!!!! The Stratocaster....... It´s sounds a bit different than mine, but after only two days, and comparing them in a recording environment, I have to say that the Variax settles better in the mix. It sounds a bit more smoother, without having those peaks I hear in my strato (lows and highs) that are a bit piercing to the ear. I find it less microphonic as well and a more compressed, but not in a bad way. Honestly, I didn´t thought it was going to sound so good. :blink: About the cuack.... yes, I agree with others, in my opinion it´s to polite, should be more aggressive. Right now there´s no much difference between this ( 2 and 4) position and the others. The gibsons are stellar as well. So far, the ones I think need more attention are twelve strings and acoustics. My guitar came with 1.72 version, I upgraded to the latest without having listened to it with the actual firmware. Everything was right at first attempt . Overall, I´m happier everyday I play this guitar, and when you connect it to Worckbench HD, then you loose any sense of time :D.... it´s so much fun that I forget to play anything concrete. So, I hope to be around here for a long time and I can´t wait for the next generation (maybe in two years....), because for me, this is the future of guitar. Thanks everybody for been so helpful all this time. I´ve learnt a lot reading this forum and it helped me to convince myself that I had to try one.
