mlody2911 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi Last time we got SLO 100, Marshalla Lead and Line6 amps. Now we all want new amps in the next frimware I guess. So as previously make a list. Maybe Line6 crew will read it. I'll start... 1. Roland Jazz Chorus 2. Orange AD30 3. Diezel VH4 4. Mesa/ Boogie Mark IV 5. .......

NucleusX Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 lol @ give up, Mesa Tri-Axis for me thanks :D And most definitely the 5150 or 6505. Wouldn't it be nice if they gave us an SDK to work our own magic with and create new FX and amp sims, id rather vote for that ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joel_brown Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 There is an SDK. http://line6.com/tcddk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucleusX Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Ahh I vaguely remember this, are you saying I can build FX and amp sims from the ground up with that SDK and have it transferred to my HD Pro ? This would be awesome. Not so interested in that stomp tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhead Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 ..., are you saying I can build FX and amp sims from the ground up with that SDK and have it transferred to my HD Pro ?.... You can't transfer the SDK sims to any POD, HD or otherwise. As I understand it, it is a standalone SDK that requires the Line 6 ToneCore pedals as the delivery platform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daedae Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yeah, just one of these threads happens every once in a while anyway. THere's also a thread on ideascale that covers the same territory. As for the SDK, all it takes is a few hobbyists who want to play around with it. I don't know anything about DSP programming or amp modeling, but I might try it if there were a way to throw something down on the POD. (Then again, I could always just write a VST amp, but I haven't tried to learn the DSP necessary for that either...I guess I've hit the point of I already code all day, I'd rather just play guitar at night :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim1953 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Seems to me that Line 6 could make a lot more money off of the HDXXX series if they kept adding amp models for us to buy. Send it out to the stores loaded with 16 amps than allow us to buy additional amp models by down load. There are so many amps out there that could be modelled. I'd like to see the Marshall Silver Anniversary series, Peavey 5150, Mesa Mark II, Fender 5E3, Fender 63 Bassman, Roland Jazz chorus, etc, etc. Some that they already modelled like the Marshall 800 & Vox AC15 should be done over again - the amps they used were dogs. Oh well I'm done talking to the wall again... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucleusX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ive basically worked out with the POD HD that I just bought a glorified amp sim, and that's about it. They excel at that, but lagging in FX innovation and then pack it all in a box that can be maxed out DSP wise before you even get to use all 8 simultaneously. Other manufacturers haven't set the limits like Line6 have with their final products are fast becoming the Apple-like company for guitarists me thinks. But hey, I knew what I bought.

radatats Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 From what I have learned the POD HD500 is a remarkable tool that allows us to configure basically any type of amp model we want until it sounds the way we want it to. As far as the names of the models, I think we have to understand that it is just coding designed to replicate the gear in question and as good as the algorithms are, they aren't perfect. I really can't see what possible benefit another amp model could bring me. I would be happier with user IR's or more cab and mic options. From the sounds of this thread, a lot of users here would be much happier with a Kemper that actually physically profiles an individual amp model and captures its complete sonic signature. Thousands of profiles are available for download. Then again, its around $2000 instead of $500... Personally, I am still waiting for the new upgradeable finger models to be released... faster and with a wider stretch... lol... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucleusX Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 There's nothing your HD500 can do that my HD Pro can't and tbh, I wouldn't go as far as to say its "remarkable" for the reasons you stated cause other manufacturers are doing pretty much the same things in their own way. Same crap different bucket. While I agree that the perfecting of algorithms is a priority, I don't think the rest of its architecture should have to suffer for it and if I hear another person utter the words "Amp Sim" Im gonna implode lol. People seem to pay too much attention to it. Sure, perfect your algorithms and modelling, but don't get consumed by it to a point you neglect OTHER important areas of the design. The release of the X iteration is a perfect example of how they got it this wrong. Line6 could've saved face by starting an entirely new flatform instead. And why have we become complacent for a standard that throws "DSP LIMIT REACHED" in our faces dialing up tones ? I never understood this. And I don't mean with just Line6, Almost all MFX pedals seem to have "under-spec" DSP chips put into them. Not so long ago they had all the model packs to expand the POD. Where are they now ? Those are the kind of things that make it worthwhile. And no. I don't hate Line6. Its just a name to me and I wont get caught up in picking favourite "brands". I judge a design by its technical merits. I will credit Kemper for their efforts, they actually brought forth a "new" innovation with their profiling, but id be happier with an AxeFX II. Its a pity they set their price at lofty heights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smrybacki Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Personally, I think the chances of that sort of an update hover just above zero. The HD product line is stable and mature and with the "x" series having come and gone with no new models added, I suspect they will not go there.

Its a pity they set their price at lofty heights. Everything in engineering is a trade off, and DSP is no exception. There is only so much power in a chipset. So the choice then becomes do we just never do a dual tone configuation (in my experience where DSP limit is reached 99% of the time) or do we allow it, but impose the DSP limit on the most resource intensive implementations of dual tone? Clearly, Line 6 chose to allow it with limitations imposed. Price is another engineering tradeoff because the chipset they chose fit the (likely) marketing imposed price ceiling, at the expense of having less power. There could very well be DSP units around that nobody coould ever overwhelm, but then too they could costs way more $$$. All of course IMHO.

Charlie_Watt Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I personally like Line6's decision on this. We can decide how to use the available DSP power. Yes it has limits but so does everything else in the world. I can only fit so much stuff in my car but I can decide what to leave behind... :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenSLR Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 And how exactly would you go about that lol ? You going to get an engineering degree to work it out ? If Line6 allow it, someone with an engineering degree is bound to do it. Then we can upgrade our units from their site the same way we upgrade from the Line6 site. Why is this thread even here ... because there is 'popular demand' for it. s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I like to think of the DSP 'Nanny' this way: Every device has its DSP limitation - no exceptions. Almost all devices are engineered to prevent the user from ever reaching that limit. The consequence is that, in all cases and for every preset, there is available DSP in the device that is wasted. Think of the Pod HD300/400. The FX1, FX2, and FX3 architecture guarantees two things. First, you will never exceed the DSP limits of the device and, second, every preset you create leaves some (and sometimes a lot of) DSP available, unused. The dual-path POD HD devices, however, allow the user to decide how to allocate the available DSP, right up to the maximum. An attempt to exceed the limitation causes the DSP Nanny to appear, saying 'Sorry - you can't do that'. I much prefer being able to make those decisions myself, leaving only a minimal amount of unused DSP capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it was shareware at that point, and a better game.... Maybe not as akin as I think....but I like the initial concept. Someone smarter than I will create something spectacular I'm sure.
