Eh, "full rig sound" doesn't make sense to me, unless you are trying to play a gig with only 1 guitarist. I strictly went for their album tone, which is a main rhythm tone and they only tweaked it a bit depending on the tuning. (6/7string songs). As for my tones, I am lucky enough to own an Axe FX II as well (which is what they used on the album too). So I was able to get very close to their tone by using the same exact amp sims that they used. After that, I made some patches with my Helix Native to match my Axe FX tones and now they sound almost identical. Sooo I don't know if it can get THAT much better :P

Greetings everyone and Happy Holidays! Today I released a bunch of Periphery Tones on my website and I'm also running a Holiday offer for these! https://www.sbsoundlab.com/shop?filter_artist=periphery&filter_tone-type=bundle Here are some samples for my tones: https://audiomack.com/song/sb-soundlab/the-bad-thing-helix-recording-mp3 https://audiomack.com/song/sb-soundlab/pale-aura-helix-recording-mp3 https://audiomack.com/song/sb-soundlab/summer-jam-helix-mp3 https://audiomack.com/song/sb-soundlab/periphery-marigold-helix And here are some reviews from my customers: https://www.sbsoundlab.com/reviews/ I would be glad if you could check them out! I worked very hard for these! Kind regards, George -SB Soundlab

Yeah, a small compensation in drive would be ideal, indeed. I haven't uploaded it on the custom tone site. Check out the youtube description of the video! :)

I used an EMG 81-7 on the bridge. What about the output?

Hello guys, Check out a cool tone I made and let me know what you think!

What is going on? There are some people in certain Pod HD groups in Facebook that say they got the Pod HD Amp packs for free simply by unregistering their product, creating a new account and registering again. I am only posting this here so we can get some official explanation for this. The Facebook link is here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/780751278704836/permalink/1051433971636564/ The Line 6 announcement in pdf form: http://l6c-acdn.line6.net/data/6/0a064389b21557c7ece5db80e/application/pdf If this is legitimate, I am sure that most of the people that have already purchased the amp packs will want their money back. (Including me. I paid 130 euros for those amps)

Thank you everyone for your responses! Can any of you suggest a unit that would work with the Pod HD500X and 2-3 more pedals?

Very good answer! Exactly what I wanted to say! I have never seen this chart of the amps that do not cancer each other out. Would you be willing to post it here? Thanks in advance! :)

Hey man, I am a Northlane fan too! Or should I say better that Northlane is my favorite band and I am obsessed with them??? :rolleyes: Anyways, I have searched everything I could find concerning their gear and how they build their tones, because I wanted, as well, a tone that would really bring out that Low F and would be really aggressive and articulate just like their tone! And the closest I could get with my Pod HD500X and my ESP LTD-1007 is this: http://www.audiomack.com/song/sb-soundlab/northlane-worldeater-pod-hd I own the Pod HD for 1,5 years and this tone took me 2 months of everyday tweaking to build. I don't doubt that someone could build a tone like this in far less time, but I would suggest, since you just started, to take it easy, because their tone is very very hard to emulate it with the Pod HD, due to its' cab and mic sims, unless you want to start messing with IR's. Then things would get much easier. Some general tips I could give you about building modern metal tones is to use the Treadplate or Angel F Ball amp sim, and before the amp use a screamer and a noise gate. (You can use a comp too, but that depends on the patch). After you have settled down with your basic setup start messing around with some EQing. (This takes time to master. The more you try to shape your tones with the EQ's the better you will become in emulating tones) I suggest using the graphic & the studio eq for boosting/cutting wide areas of frequencies and the parametric eq for small areas (these small areas are very important.) And to close my long post, the key to these metalcore tones are the upper mids. The most important frequency for these tones is a small area around 3k Hz. Try boosting this particular frequency with a parametric EQ set up like this: Lows: 50% Highs: 50% Freq: 84% Q: 85-100% Gain: 60-80% I hope these help. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask us! :)

Hey guys, I want to try using my Pod HD500X with some pedals for a couple of weeks so I can test its' effects. So I am searching for a single unit that will be able to supply with power my Pod HD and 2-3 more pedals. And at the same time it will have isolated outputs so that I won't get any ground loop noise any more. I need to find something that it is not too expensive, so I was looking at this: http://www.t-rex-effects.com/fueltank-classic/ But I am not sure if it will work for my Pod HD What kind of power supply does the Pod HD500X needs to work???? (I am not familiar with the terms, so excuse my mistakes.) Thanks in advance!

I don't get what is your problem here honestly.. Do you want to play metal with the Pod but you can't set it up?? or you can't figure out how to set it up so that you can play something else than metal? Do you want to tell us what type of tone do you want to achieve?

I follow this video and it works wonders! Hope it helps! :)

I tried every reverb and many combos of them. The particle helped a bit, but the octo didn't. It sounds like something is missing, I don't know how to describe it. If you try to play this part, you will be having a "wrong" atmosphere in certain notes (like when playing the 2nd note he plays at the beginning). His atmosphere in the whole song has the same "sweetness" no matter which note is he playing. I don't know if you can quite get me.. That why I thought that a smart harmony effect might help me..

Thanks for your input guys! Well I am trying to emulate this tone with the Pod HD: And I have tried pretty much every reverb (and combinations of them) and different patch approaches, but even if I get close to his actual "guitar tone", I can't achieve this atmospheric effect that every note leaves behind. It sounds like it's more than some simple reverb(s), so I thought that the smart harmony effect might get me closer. The tone I am after is a lot different (see above)
