Analog Distortion Pedal + POD HD 300

[Guicarucio]

Hey, Guys ! 

 

I'm form Brazil and I'm having problems to get a nice heavy sound with my POD HD 300, so I decided to buy an analog distortion !

 

My question is: Is there a way to connect it to the HD 300, as soon as it gets no Send/Return ?

 

Thanks a lot !

Since a distortion FX typically is placed pre-amp in the signal chain, simply connect your guitar to the distortion pedal input, and connect the pedal's output to the HD300 Guitar In.

Is true that you can do this, and the HD300 takes pedals out front fairly well.... but I must say that using the Screamer or another OD/distortion model into any of the high gain amp models in the HD300 should get you a crushingly heavy sound that no pedal alone will even come close to.

I have to agree with PJ, stack your chain and you should get some heavy palm muted chugginess, remember the cab will also affect it.

 

Ahhhh I have to dust off the ole DoD Deathmetal pedal. :)

I use a fulltone ocd, a custom rat, a bass big muff and a custom built pharaoh (not at the same time :), and I run all on front of my pod hd500. I can immediately hear the difference if I put them in th fx loop, but I don't know why (impedence?). none of the onboard effects distort the lower eod in the fuzzy, melted speaker way that my pedals do. Maybe the screamer is ok for harsh high gain metal but it just sounds thin, fizzy and brittle, and far too bright and digital for my taste. Low end muddy face melting fuzz is not the pods strong point at all
