wayneblue Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 does anyone know of any good, real sounding acoustic patches? I can't believe that the ones in my old DigiTech GNX 3000, sounds 100% better (real sounding), than the acoustic patches in the HD500X..

mrcleenmrcleen Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 The variax has that. The hd500x itself doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcleenmrcleen Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 You can use eqs and get something close. There are some patches on custometone that get close. The hd500x just isn't meant to be an instrument modeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinglerch Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 There are no great models for a real acoustic guitar, or other piezo based instrument. I found that the most natural sound comes from patches with no amp, plus maybe a chorus or reverb. But for sounding like an acoustic with a magnetic pickup, there are two I like a lot: http://line6.com/customtone/tone/1026292/ http://line6.com/customtone/tone/557842/ They may take some modification to meet what you are looking for but they were pretty close as-is. In my case I put a second path with a dirty amp model, and use the pedal to pan just as much dirt as needed...this is versatility that you just can't get with standard amp/pedal combinations.

pianoguyy Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 wow, i can't believe that at the cost of that pod.. The cost of a pod, in reality, is the cost of... well... Less than a gallon of coffee. Maybe not. But when you consider that for less than 2 weeks pay, you are replacing your entire rig and increasing the size of your rig 30x... My distortion unit cost more than my Pod --- and that was actual cash, not adjusted for inflation. But, if it makes you feel any better down in your nether regions, if you twist the knobs in a certain way, you can get an acoustic sound from your electric. Sure, a guitar modeler will emulate an acoustic sound better than an amp modeler will. But you can make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
