brokenbones Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I'm looking for a patch that will recreate the middle position of a Les Paul. I don't need high gain, but rather a good, warm clean crunch to medium distortion. Any tips or tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Realistically, no... the POD models amp circuits, not pickups... and a single coil is a single coil. Trying to mimic one humbucker is a tall enough order, but you're looking to reproduce the interaction of two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 As already stated.... no you can't. The middle position of a Les Paul is a difficult one... and the magic of that tone is a "bridge & neck" pickup combination. You don't tell us what you are playing :) If you have a Tele you can start by putting it in the middle position. Then thicken the tone with a "slight" mid boost (250 - 800) using the Graphic EQ model on the POD. If you are playing a Strat it will be even more of an upward battle because there is no "bridge & neck" combination on most Strats. You can try the middle position, but that's really not the same... IMO, you are better off trying with the neck pickup alone. In this case you can use the Graphic EQ model to shape the tone, but it will require a lot more experimenting than if you had a proper pickup combination to begin with. Just my 2 cents...
