Am I missing something how to use it, or is it really that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something how to use it, or is it really that way? Kind of lame, but yes it's limited to only 5 band. Some would say it's all you really need for the frequency range of a guitar sound, but to fully shape it EQ wise with one instance, block, it seems limited. Guess it was all they could squeeze into the programming back then. Jd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mara17 Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Is it so in HD500X that all FX have max 5 params, and so 10band eq comes as 5 band? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess not.. surely there is a limited number of available parameters per FX, but in this specific case the chosen frequency bands in the model are not only less than the inspired MXR equalizer. they are also different, ie: 80, 220, 440, 1100, 2200 Hz.. ..however the first 2 bands (31.2 and 62.5) and the last 2 bands (8k and 16k) of the above MXR graphic eq would be quite useless for electric guitar in particular, the 4k missing band in the model could have been useful to tweak the very high end, but considering that you can combine two or more different EQ FXs in series, you can easily cover the whole spectrum of audible frequencies, if/when necessary. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
