Acustic guitar pod hd500x

[riccardob80]

I have to play with an acoustic guitar and I want to use my pod hd500x for reverb and compressor in the solo part in the verse and a good acoustic sound full : can you recommend a patch ? I do not know where to start .. thank you

The best place to start is to download some acoustic patches from custom tone. You may not use them but take a look at how they set things up. It'll help a lot. That being said, I use mine with acoustic instruments all the time and it's quite easy. No amp. Input 1 = guitar. Input 2 = Variax (i.e., unused). Then just plop in a compressor, one at a time, and see which one you like the best. You'll probably want to keep Drive fairly low to keep the grunge/crunch/dirt at bay. Then do the same for reverb. Try them one by one until you find the one you like. But be aware that what you like in your bedroom or headphones may NOT be what you like when playing live,

 

Oh, you'll want the reverb to be the last thing in your signal path,

OR--- 

the first place to look is the factory setlist entitled

Bass/Aco/Voc

 

ACO is short for ACOustic.

Customtone is the last place to look for anything...

I disagree. I learned a lot by looking thru custom tone designs. I didn't use ANY of them, but i learned a lot about how to do things by looking at them and playing with them.
