Pod Hd500 Synth O Matic

[dodomoon]

Hello. I own  an m9 and a hd 500 . i wish to recreate some of the effect on the m9 (i'm using it since 2011) on the hd500, but i noticed that it tracks notes real bad with the synth o matic. i usually do a synth intro of a song using synthomatic, delay, phaser and octaver.. on the hd 500 i hear a lot o glitch and ghost notes... i noticed that it's better if I use the pitch shifter with an octave down setting than the bass octave... can it be a problem of DSP?

I've also tried to work with the synth effect and hear the same glitches. It takes a lot of tweaking to get it clean but a lot of things play into it, I found the most useful to be a noise gate or hard gate in front of the synth, but don't set it too hard. Also, use your loudest/warmest pickup when using that tone. Good luck and upload your tone if you get it working well!

Yes me too so too the filter.. The pitch shifters work better,

the strange thing is that if I set the same effects on the m9, same parameters, everything sounds better and without noise!

All those synth-like effects work better with warmer guitar sounds (neck pickup, maybe with the tone rolled off a bit) and that's why I use the T-Model 4 position of the Variax on those presets
