paskozdilar Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I bought my HD500x a few months ago. I'm having problems with the distortion. I play in a death metal band, so I need a really tight, heavy sound, but when I plug my POD into PA, I can't get any sound that isn't muddy and noisy. Drummer can't hear what we're playing. I need some tips from fellow HD500x users on how to get a strong and clear death metal sound live. Thanks in advance :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunpointmetal Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Just make sure you're building your live presets at your intended volume through a PA system. I like to do my tweaks when another band member is there to confirm or deny what I "think" sounds good. If you're having clarity issues, but the volume is fine, turn down some gain. Live heavy guitar NEEDS lots of midrange, too, so don't scoop out the mids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
