shaunlawrence Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hey guys,I recently got a POD HD500.I've finally managed to get the edit software to open and change tones about.My friend got a pod hd500 before me, and I dialled his tone in.I tried to manually dial the same thing in, but it sounds terrible in comparison.SO, i took the tone, put it onto my laptop and send it to MY pod, it STILL sounds horrible.Whats going on???Is this a software issue???????

TheRealZap Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 check the output mode and input mode (as well as input z) settings on his pod.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunlawrence Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 check the output mode and input mode (as well as input z) settings on his pod.... is that in the editing software? or is that hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 its all hardware... the tones being equal... the hardware settings are probably where the difference is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunlawrence Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 its all hardware... the tones being equal... the hardware settings are probably where the difference is. they're both the same in terms of hardware. I've noticed i can CAB-EDIT his Tread-Pre Amp, but can't on my one? When i transfer the patch i made on his pod to my laptop and send it over, it still doesn't do it? other tones with multiple editing options work, just this one doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 sure the hardware is the same... but either you are on different firmware levels or you have different settings... there are system settings that do not come with the tones.... different output modes.... and different input settings. sounds like you need to upgrade yours using line6 monkey.

I have the line 6 monkey, but when i try to open it, it just brings me back to the installer. i dont understand why that happens. my hunch was it was naff because there was different firmware levels, but if i can't open the monkey, i can't update it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 take it to your friends place or try a different machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunlawrence Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 take it to your friends place or try a different machine. this was done at his place, we have identical pod hd500s, except his has some form of firmware mine doesn't. he's able to get better sounds out of a patch than i am through the exact same rig. how do I fix the problem with the line6 monkey? that seems to be the catalyst in my problem it seems.

TheRealZap Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Have you tried downloading and installing the latest version of monkey from the website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Make sure your output mode is same as your friends' as that makes a big difference in how the patches sound. The FW isn't going to change the sound of the patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 not entirely true.... depending on what firmware he has.... some amp models changed early on... (uber is a prime example) other updates introduced.... deep edit parameters, cab parameters, and input z.... all which can have a dramatic effect on the tone produced. Make sure your output mode is same as your friends' as that makes a big difference in how the patches sound. The FW isn't going to change the sound of the patches.

huubdijckmanns Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hi, the pre-amp models don't have the cab dep's, only the full amp models have, so i think your friends tone uses the full amp model, Huub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
