I like the sound of Danny Gatton and Roy Buchanan. Looking at some of the photos on the internet they seem to use a Vibrolux amongst other amps. As i have a Pod HD bean, which would be the best amp to choose from the menu ?

On the Pod gallery it says Roy Buchanan used a Blackface double so i'm a bit confused as to which would be the best Pod amp to choose as sometimes they are not what you'd think.

Thank You.

I've a Pod HD Bean and am trying to get a Stuart Adamson type tone.

I'm told he played throug a Fender Dual Showman and a Fender 2x12 cab.

Which Fender on the Pod amp list would be the nearest to a Dual Showman ?

Thanks Guys i'll try the suggestions

On my Pod HD Bean i've got quite a good pre set but need a bit more sustain for my liking.

Any ideas for fx to do this please.

My guitar is OK sustain wise but i'm just wanting a tiny bit more.

Thank you .

Hi

I've got the guitar peaking a -12db with an empty signal path (The master knob is at max).

All my pre sets are too loud.

So with out changing the pre set tonally which is the best knob to turn down.

Reading the manual it says channel volume shouldn't colour the tone.

Or, should ijust the pull the sliders on the Pod Hd mixer down ?

Any ideas please.

OK That's great i'll keep to that in the future.

Many thanks.

Make sure input 1 is guitar and input 2 is mic.

 make sure the mixer is at zero also check master is not too high.

I meant the Pod HD Bean Mixer .

I read it was +12 on the Pod mixer was best. I can't find the thread where it said that now.

So, on the Pod mixer is it best at 0db ?

I have a Pod Hd bean and want to use it to record into my pc.

Does the mixer setting of the Channel A/B make any difference to resulting output.(Apart from the volume)

I've read somewhere that the best setting for the mixer is +12

Thanks i'll try it again when i get some time.

I haven't tried for ages now.

If you go in with Line 6 ASIO from Pod how do you connect to the studio monitors ?

Also how do you go into the pc with spdif ?

I've got Pod HD bean.

Thanks porcytree

I'll try them suggestions when I get home from work. I'm starting to worry about the tones I've made with some of the other amps.

I've thought some are quite shrill but, when I listen to Rock bands like ACDC, Saxon etc their tones are shrill.

It's as if they're cutting the bottom end off the guitar to let the bass come through on the mix.

I definitely like the Marshall (darkish) sound but have difficulty in tightening it up.

I've never been able to record using the USB to Cubase because of the ASIO latency.

Because of that I'm still using a M-Audio soundcard.

I'm going for almost Djent tone and am trying different amps.

I'm wondering about JCM800 cabs (dual) I'm trying T75 at the minute but it's wooly and ssssssss.

I want the sound of the Treads/Angels but darker as they and the Soldano are a bit shrill.

I've tried bringing down the Treads etc but to no avail. The JCM800 is almost there but just a tad fuzzy

I'm hoping some of you experienced guys may have a preference.

Thanks Perapera that's really interesting stuff to digest.

I keep reading different ideas of how to set up the Pod so i'll just keep tweaking.

Even Customtone is time consuming because there's so many pre-sets to choose.

Thanks porcytree i'll try your ideas.

I've failed with JCM800 (No clarity) and I've never tried the Park.

I've always used the cabs that come when you choose an amp

Thank You

Thanks Duncann, I'm a newbie so I'll get my head down and try to sort it all out.

Thanks for the info'

I've always found it hard to get a good tone, I'll set something up that I think is OK but, listen the next day and realize it's junk.

Which are the "Go To" Cabs ?

There seems to be a lot of settings that people are sort of using as a starting point for pre-sets.

Is there a definitive list that anyone would stick there neck out and say "This is it" ?

Examples are :-

Hum = 0

Res  = 0

Thump = 25%

Bias seeems to vary from person to person

BiasX the same.

I'm thinking if there is such a list i'd really appreciate it to save time setting my pre-sets.

Unless you require an extraordinary variety of tones, you'll probably find yourself settling in on 3 or 4 models after a while. I like the blackface for cleans (Hi way occasionally too), Marshall for dirty rhythms, and Solano and Bogner Shiva for most leads.

 I agree i think i'll end with about 2 or 3 for each style.

Thanks guys.

I've always struggled with setting up Marshalls. The only one I've tried is the J-45 for clean rhythm.

These Pods are so time consuming because of the choice. (not a bad thing but it still takes a lot of time).
