Tsenienko_131313 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 hello guys, i ve got a question about which is the right way to connect a pod hd500x in to an amp, when you use it only as a modulation effect. i have a vox ac30 ,some stompboxes and the pod. i dont need any amp simulation or drive pedals from pod. i ve got my clean sound from vox and my drive sound from the vox again. ( i ve done a mode). my stomp box order is guitar-wah-drives..-boost-delay-reverb and the mode switch that goes in to the normal and the top boost channel. i tried two or three different ways to connect...i put the pod in to guitar in, last in my effect order.then i put it in fx loop... my sound its not the same. i think its compressed and not as rich as it was without the pod. probably its a matter of right connection or right pod set up. can you help me please. thanx , sorry for my english.

hurghanico Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 First of all I recommend putting modulation (POD in this case) before time based effects (delay, reverb). As for the sound that with the POD inserted in the chain is no longer the same as before, I guess you are referring to the sound when the POD is bypassed (modulation off), if this is the case I suggest setting the impedance parameter of the patch in use to 1 or 3.5 megaohms instead of AUTO (you can find the impedance parameter between the input settings), this should solve the problem and make the bypassed signal totally transparent/unaffected. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joel_brown Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 If all you're using the POD500x for is modulation, I would sell the POD and buy a pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsenienko_131313 Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 first of all thanx for the answer...yes, i had a very good reason to buy it.i m tired of pedal dancing.i want to have a specific delay time combained with a rotary or a vibrato... anyway, can you please tell me which are those setting when you use the pod as a modulation effect?
