  1. I just picked up a used HD500 mostly for use as a headphone practice amp.

    Problem is every amp sounds fuzzy.

     

    Thing is, I have an old kidney bean pod and it sounds great through headphones.

     

    i  also have both...a bean and a hd500x. the bean sounds good and the hd500x sounds even better thru headphones.

    maybe your 'used' hd500 has been too used?

  2. It doesn't hurt to ask...not illegal...I mean Line 6 ran a 30% 0ff or something a ways back...I was hoping for the same...

     

    i asked a similar question back in july at which point i would have bought the whole hd set. i'd still get the vintage pack today @ 30% but that desire will have faded as well by next christmas me thinks...

    bottom line: wait a little longer and you can save yourself more than 30%.

    just sayin

  3. Understood. Put it on the Aux or Mic in or your own DI / Pre to FX return.

     

    The p'up signal needs to be pre amplified and both Mic pre and Aux in can but the Aux in will probably be a better impedance match but try each out.

    Manual Quote

    "21. Aux In - This mono, unbalanced 1/4" input can be used for a second guitar or just about any other instrument. Visit the System & I/O edit pages for Aux In routing options."

     

    +1 on The Aux input. It is there for a second instrument. And by panning hard left and right, you can create 2 discrete paths.  I've done it. Bass on one path, guitar on the other. It seemed to be an instrument level input, just like the guitar input.

     

    Thanks!

    Aux input WORKS and is exactly what I was looking for. All I wanted was to be able to use both pickups. The bonus are the routing options. With input setup set to 'preset' i can use different amps for ea pickup. Cool.

     

     

    On a different note (for what it's worth):

     

    Even though the guitars are 2 very different animals, my 2013 MIM Strat sounds A LOT better plugged into the Pod than the 1967 Gibson. On the other hand, that Gibson plugged into my pre-cbs Princeton blows the MIM strat back to Mexico :)

  4. You could of course sum them back into mono, but that would defeat the purpose.

    been there done that.

    the pick-ups in my 345 are wired 'out-of-phase'. summing them back into mono makes the sound real tinny...

    apparently not all 345's are wired like this. mine is.

    i think there's a way to rewire the guitar but i don't like the idea of it. it's a 1967...and it should stay as it is...at least that's where i'm comin' from.

     

    they made this guitar to be plugged into 2 seperate amps. one for each pick-up.

     

    if the HD500X had '2' 1/4" mono guitar inputs then i wouldn't ask this question.

    will i screw up the Pod by plugging a electric guitar into the mic xlr input?

    >I know that it is still Saturday night even though the sun is up...

    >Plug them both into the Pod. Yes, the Pod can handle 2 inputs at the same time

     

    are you suggesting to plug an electric guitar into the mic xlr input? If not then you didn't understand my question or it might be Monday for you :)
