after 6 years using direct pod to the mixer, every weekend, I learned to relax, I learned that in each PA the pod behaves differently, and found that to get a good tone from the pod is necessary an quality PA ,when I started using I almost went crazy. in every show I changed all the parameters of the pod, but it's not how you do it depends on the PA

there are days that my sound is beautiful and there are days  it is horrible,

so is the pod,

there is not much to do

thanks 

this is a very small audio example of what I get from the AC-30 model with its default cab miked with a 87 condenser mic

 

https://soundcloud.com/hurghanico/ac-30-tone-test

 

at the beginning starts a chords progression played with a LP Junior (P90 pickup) model, placed slightly on the left side..

 

then I added a solo/melody with a LP Standard placed slightly on the right side, there is a Tube Screamer, and after the amp an analog delay with mod, reverb..

 

to me it sounds quite fat and warm..

 

cab resonance is at zero..

 

amp standard controls are all at noon except Cut and Channel Volume at 100 and Presence at zero, (Treble could work good also up to about 60 to get a more bright and slightly nasal tone)..

 

tube screamer: all defaults, except output at 50..

 

all default settings for the analog delay/mod and reverb

very nice tone, but i think that vox(default parameters) direct to the pa sounds very different, at leats for me

for me the best clean on pod is tweed b man brt with 4x12 highway and 421 dynamic, i think ac vox 30 very thin with the standard parameter

Hello group.

 

how can i get a fatter sound out of the A30-TB? 

 

Using Bridge Humbucker.  

My chain has in it: [ with the settings so far]  

Noise Gate  50  50  ( only used when using signal coil)

Boost Comp   61  33  56  3 o'clock 3 o'clock

Tube Drive    53  50  47   10 o'clock  4o'clock

AMP  A30TB  56  69  100  65  50  100  27  

AMP Parameters : standard no change

CAB Parameters : only changed the Low cut to 9 o.clock

Mixer  A+B  PAN Centre and  +2dB

Volume Pedal

Reverb  Hall   38  82  40  27

 

Thanks.. any help would be appreciated......

changing the cab, use a marshakll 4x12 

I run my pod hd 500 in Looping my jvm marshall, I do not use any amp and drive from pod ,just use for modulations, noise gate, tuner and delays. Do you think that in this case, should I use the 4 cable method or just run my pod in jvm the loop? as I've been doing already

thanks peter

hi, very cool, as always, but the advantage of this system  4 cables would not connect to a tube amp? which advantage of making this method in a transistor amp, it would not be even better, in this case, direct connect the mixer?

hi peter, you have the habit of running the pod direct to the mixer in live gigs? would be very interesting to hear your many great patches in this kind of situation

there was some update to jtb released these days?

I did the update and it happened all ok, I changed some parameters of global eq and now want to go back to the original parameters, anyone know the original values of each frequency?

on my clean patches I prefer more using the mixer block to increase volume than compressor /limiter, I think its sounds much more natural. And, instead using volume pedal I like set Studio eq on expression pedal, just using the gain of the Eq.

is this plexi with tube screamer on right?

just the fact that you have got this great sound from useless jcm 800 you are already a genius, ahahaha

THE fender patch and jtm are lower than the others

it is obvious that you will need to try the patches of Peter on a good PA, PA  well equalized, if not this is so, nor even peter ´s patches  will sound good, today I try a pa on anot so good and sounded different

me too , hated and ignored jcm 800, I thought this jcm 800 garbage and completely useless, but after peter everything changed ahahaha .

this afternoon I had the opportunity to try all his patches  in soundcheck in a venue that I will play tonight, great PA and playing too loud, they sounded really good, even garbage jcm 800 aahahh,  and treadplate that I could never be satisfied on pa now got.

Thanks peter

hi peter very nice , Im looking forward for this new videos and patches 

youre talking about the hd workbench right?

Just today pop up my idea to improve my lester model, due to the pickups, sound too hot. (Remind me the 500T 496R that I had on my Flying V) which actually are the worst pickups IMO. So, I stared checking the humbuckers in workbench, and found a great match with the semi humbuckers . The sound became istantl vintage, 70s era, the clean and drive sound get awesome... So I thought, what else I don't like? The semi 1,5,3. Same as above, put the gibson  humbuckers and sound became more woody. Finally adjust some of the jazz, installed the 89 neck on 5 and 3 position... Awesome!!

 

Thanks line6 for ths great guitar!

do you use pod hd 500? strange, loved their tones, but quand dowloaded their patches and put in my pod hd 500 x, they sounded completely different,what kind of pod you use, because your patches are not to pod hd 500, right?

last questiom, you think  is better run a rc2 boss loop on fx loop or after pod , on 1/4 out? thank you very much

Should I mute the chanel b or is not necessary?place the pans to the right and to the left side is going to turn down the volume a bit, this is normal right?

by "pre position" I mean pre split position, or in other words: the chain is not in path A only..

 

and if I understud well you are already using the default pre split position.. so let's go ahead..

 

 

 

you should put pan A 100% to the left and pan B 100% to the right..

 

the amp model is mono and therefore will render to mono anything coming from before it

open the pan is to put pans to the righ or left side, in my case i use in the center boths channels of mixer

my chain is mono , i dont use 2 patchs , just one patch,what do you mean  pre position? 

Im asking what i shoul do to have the more clean sound, without any distorcion .and whithout doubling the signal

sorry my english

what do you mean exactly by "open the pan completely"?

 

where is your chain?.. all in path A,.. or in pre position?

 

also, you're asking what you should do, but it is unclear for what

My question is, as I use the mono pod,  Irun only one XLR or 1/4 of the pod out,   should I mute the  b channe in mixerl or open the pan completely ?

putting the pan in the center is almost as doubling the signal level at the output of the mixer, therefore if you put an amp after, it will change both its distortion and volume levels, compared to the pre mixer position..

if i understood well , it is better if i open tottaly the pans or mute the b chanel on mixer?
