scheater5 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 There's some complaints about how the eqs on the pod are structured - specifically the use of % instead of decibels and hertz. Meambobbo has some excellent info regarding that - see the link that TheRealZap posted. The cliffs notes version is: Djent is characterized by a (sometimes extreme) bump in the 1.4kHz. Djent also sometimes employs a high pass filter to remove some of the bottom end of the guitar before it hits the amp, but this is less universally accepted than the 1.4kHz bump, and you may find it does not suit your taste. The graphic eq on the pod does not include this specific band - many graphics eqs do not You can use the parametric eq to do this "Q" refers to how narrow or broad a parametric eq is. A low Q is a very broad, typically subtle eq that will effect many frequencies. A high Q is a narrow eq that will sharply effect a smaller number of frequencies. However, since Line 6 choose to use percent instead of frequencies, this is not intuitive on the HD500. Someone more experienced that me will have to walk you through the specifics.

HDProJohn Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The tone is honestly most about the compression, drive and gating before you hit the amp. Settings are hard to give because it depends on your playing so much. And really, the key to djent is to play "djentfully." There's a great deal about pick attack that's often overlooked.
