i bought a pod HD500x a few weeks back, as like everyone else i'm in lockdown, i was going to go for the Helix, but i didn't need all the ins and outputs and the IR, so i bought a brand new 500x and saved £900 pounds or a $1000.
what a brilliant effects processor , and to say its about 14 years old, brilliant.
all the tones that come with the 500x are no good, enough to put you off the 500x, but i made some myself and heres the download link,
i also had a old unopended audio cassette so i used one side of it as a screen protector see pictures.
enjoy the tones, i use an american fender professional strat with HSS pickups and headphones, and if using an amp i have a basic marshall 50w, 500x pluggen in front.
all tones sound brilliant, even my killer of giants tone that can be used for the intro to killer of giants on neck pickup selector 4 single coil
may look basic screen protector but it works if something ever dropped on it
