Beacher Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Wondering what your favourite Wah settings are on the POD HD500 ??? I have been somewhat unsuccessful getting something I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 what wah did you use prior to getting a modeler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjnette Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Try them all assigned to the foot controller of course and you'll soon find one you prefer and after a while you can make most work, some work best if you limit the controller travel and use sparingly.

Beacher Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi All .... sorry for taking so long to get back in here. The big problem I seem to be having is that when I insert the overdrive FX (with the Wah) it is way too loud. So I am thinking possibly that the wah may be in the wrong place in the EFX chain ?? (it is currently #6) So the layout (left to right) in order is this ...... 0) Compressor (Red Comp) - no FS - installed on all the time 1) Tube Drive - FS1 2) Analog Flanger - FS2 3) DDL / Mod - FS3 4) DDL / Mod - FS4 5) Bass Octaver - FS5 6) Wah (Conductor) - FS6 (EXP 1) 7) Jumbo Fuzz - FS7 8) Not Used - FS8 I MAINLY USE FS1 and FS3. The wah sounds pretty good without FS1 engaged but as soon as it is ... the volume jumps horrifically. Unusable. The volume does not jump horrifically when the wah is not engaged, it is just a bit louder than off. It is an obvious boost for solos etc. Note the wah is engaged with a FS. I can't seem to find a way to easily change the efx order? Any ideas / suggestions??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eemelamsi Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Try placing wah before tube drive if you already know that is the problem. You can move the effect in chain in hd edit from the top where you see your whole chain as images. Just drag and drop it between other effects. And without hd edit, there is button on your device that says "move". Wonder what that would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beacher Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Just moved the wah around in the chain. Will need to test at band rehearsal and/or on gig. Easy to do from the pod itself. Will report back with the outcome. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Chrome wah first in the chain or second after the fast gate on patches that use a gate is what I do...It's what I do with the real stuff. kinda old school I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beacher Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yes ..... after moving the wah to the beginning of the chain things are MUCH better ...... thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallmike17 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Always wah the distortion, never distort the wah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormstudios Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 2 hours ago, phil_m said: Lol... What does this mean? It could be taken either way, really. yeah I sort of take it the opposite way. With the wah in the early part of the chain, you're actually always distorting the wah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 6 hours ago, hallmike17 said: Always wah the distortion, never distort the wah. Yes - it's ambiguous. I generally place the wah FX after the distorion FX. That's the way I prefer it, anyway, unless going for the specific sound of it before the distortion.
