Hello,

 

Could someone can advice.

How can I connect the POD HD500x to Line 6 Spider IV 75w ?

I can't try with 4 cables method.

Thank you.

You could connect the POD to the Spider mp3 input and use the amp solid state power-amp and speaker only to make the POD signal loud, your Spider amp would be used only as sort of monitor, without taking advantage of any of its main features..

 

in the above case the connection scheme would be:  Guit-->POD (effects and amp models)-->Spider mp3 input

 

IMO a better solution would be connecting the POD to the Spider Guitar input and use the POD only for the effects and the Spider for the amp models, basically it would be like having a traditional pedal board between the guitar and the amp..

 

the connection scheme would be: Guit-->POD (only effects)-->Spider (only amp models)

 

in case at same point  you get a decent FRFR monitor that will be the best solution since you'll take advantage of both the effects and amp models included in the POD but with a better monitoring system than what you'd get through the mp3 input of the Spider, and everything will be managed from the POD patches and controls.
